• I believe Carter G Woodson possesses determination, and disapline.
• he possesses because he wanted an education and was so determined he taught himself the fundamentals of school and earned his high school diploma in two years.
• I believe he posses dicapline because without it he would not have achieved his goals.

I learned a valuable lesson from this person. I learned that if you work hard enough and are determined to achieve your goals and pursue them then it will happen.
