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; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "Press on." has solved and always will solve the problem of the human race."
Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States
Reflection: I believe this quote was said to encourage us Americans to keep on moving forward... because that's exactly what makes us very strong. In order to succeed, we will need determination. You need to be serious about your job and your future. To have a good life, you must choose the right. Nothing will ever be handed to you. You need to fight for your right, for your life, for your future. What this president is trying to tell us, is that persistence is key to a better life, a better world.
