A child hysterically tried her best to jump and grab balloons in an adorable struggle. She tried, tried and tried some more but was never quite able to reach those much-desired balloons, which seemed to be just out of her grasp. Watch the short clip to see the young woman’s hilarious and precious efforts to obtain balloons.

Persistence and perseverance are traits that will always serve people well in life. Everyone will get knocked down in life at one time or another. Often, those falls and stumbles will hurt. But as the old saying goes, dust yourself off, get back up and try, try again. Who knows what could happen if you keep trying and don’t give up?

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young woman demonstrates this sentiment and the old saying, showing that even though the odds are stacked against her, she will keep trying. The little girl and her mother are in a store, and she walks down an aisle with something she badly wants: balloons.

Of course, the only problem for the little one is that all the balloons are full and have drifted up toward the ceiling. In addition to the balloons’ heightened position, the child is not exactly scrapping her head on the ceiling. In fact, she is quite small and low to the ground.

Nevertheless, despite all that may be against her, she is going to attempt to obtain one of those balloons. So, knowing that the only way she can do this is to jump, that is precisely what she will do.

The child tries multiple times to get a balloon. However, her two or three-inch vertical leaps aren’t enough to get the job done. Even with encouragement from her mother, the youngster’s jumps are not high enough to overcome the difference between her and the balloons.

Eventually, a tad discouraged, the little girl calls it quits. But she gave it a valiant effort, and that counts for something.
