Stan Mietus, Efrain Gonzalez, and Leo Gonzalez	Determination: The ability to continue trying to do something, although it is very difficult.	The team showed resilience on Friday, Sept. 20 assisting a shooting victim at the park.

It is my opinion that their determination is the reason why the victim is still alive.
