George Washington & Diligence

George Washington's actions leading up to The Battle of Trenton showcases how he diligently approached challenges. He was well aware that the Hessians were a bigger and stronger army compared to his soldiers but that did not stop him from seeking victory.  As the men crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night they were faced with icy waters, sleet and snow squalls which significantly delayed Washington's plan.  Plus General James Ewing's reinforcements had failed to arrive. But instead of retreating in light of the many mounting challenges, Washington was steadfast and led his men as they defeated the Hessians in a surprise attack.
