Gritty Definition

People usually describe gritty as the the grittiness of the sand,the roughness and so

The meaning of having a growth mindset can mean many

grittiness was a simple as trying to hit a E sharp something so little can take a long time and

after I learned how to hit a E sharp and if I would stop trying to complete the note it would be
