We need Shackleton's Endurance to keep on fighting

Second quality comment, 22



The ability to last is called endurance, as a synonym of permanence, continuity or continuance. So, it is something really important that all of us need to have to continue in our way against all our adversities. We, the students in 2º Bachillerato, need it to finish this last year in the secondary school, and eventually, to achieve all our goals, until we get to where we want. 

Endurance is also the name of a ship that was built in 1912 and that had the objective to sail and explore a part of the Antartic. This expedition with this objective set off in 1914 and its commander was Sir Ernest Shackleton. But, when they were sailing the ship got stuck between two ice plates, and it couldn't navigate any more, eventually it got destroyed because of the pressure. 

For this reason, all the sailors had to abandon the ship, and travelled in sledge on the ice sea of Weddell. And, finally, they travelled by boat to the Elephant's island, and arrived in an island, after more than 500 days without walking on land. Recently, in March, some specialists were able to discover where the ship was, and they were able to find it, after more than 107 years later. 

So, to sum up, I reckon that it is amazing what this tripulation did, they were able to survive and return safe to their land, in such bad conditions. So, now we can think that if we have some endurance, we will be able to do all we propose ourselves. In reality, with some endurance nothing is impossible.
