True Grit

His face is contorted into a grimace.  His lips are stretched taut so that the corners of his mouth practically reach his ears.  His perfectly white, very uniform, upper and lower teeth are bared.

Above you see the first paragraph of the essay. The essay continues to describe a young man I observed at the gym, a relatively slight young man, who is lifting a lot of weight.  I admire this man for working so hard and showing true grit.
