"Then my stubborn streak kicked in, and I decided that failure wasn’t an option."

Explanation: The word "then" and the turning-point action (deciding to keep trying) show this sentence continues the sequence of events and leads toward the later outcome, which is characteristic of the middle of a narrative.
