It is true that in some cases independence may not be a good quality because it can lead people to isolate themselves and be socially awkward but in Winston Churchill’s case it was quite different. Unlike perseverance for Churchill, he started to become independent immediately when he first started boarding school. When he was there he learned to live without his parents and fend for himself in a way.
