Student Success Statement

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.

TALENT will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

President Calvin Coolidge

30th President of US(1872-1933)

Reflection: I believe this means that no matter how smart, talented, or educated you are; if you are not willing to keep on trying even when you have failed so many times then you will never be able to achieve your goals. Persistence is what makes champions out of losers.
