Teaching children motivational skills and good learning techniques at an early age can have a huge positive impact on the success these children would have in their future. In the nonfiction article Kewauna's Ambition, the author explains that her success comes from her own motivation and the help of an organization that helps children in need. The author states that “what was most remarkable to me about Kewauna is that she was able to marshal her prodigious non-cognitive ability – call it grit, conscientiousness, resilience, or the ability to delay gratification.” (Duro, 2015). It connects Kewauna's experience and resilience to other teens who share the same experience. Many also believe that motivation and willingness to learn are taught by parents, teachers and peers. Student success does not depend solely on the school's ability to provide programs and help, but only on the student's ambition. Conversely, these methods of teaching skills at a young age do not always have a lasting effect on children throughout their academic careers. At a young age, students may have that extreme motivation to never fail throughout their lives and as they get older, that desire to continue to succeed fades away. Overconfidence in possessing high learning abilities could negatively affect students as they age.
