One possible version:

       Faced with the adversities, I tended to be at a loss, lacking motivation to go on. However, life in high school has taught me that perseverance will light up my life and help me out.

When I first entered high school, I found everything was changed. Difficult lessons and excellent classmates threw me into a position where I had to struggle hard. Despite my hard work, the results would be discouraging. Gradually, life was beginning to stress me out. Challenging as it was, I didn’t give up, because every time I wanted to, the Old Man and the Sea would remind me that only with perseverance can I catch my big fish. I decided that I stick it out, following my teachers’ advice. Finally, I made it.

Later, whatever difficult situation I deal with, I always keep in mind that perseverance will carry us though.
