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, 30^th president of the United States

  This statement is saying that you need to be persistent in order to achieve every goal/dreams you have and that you’re committed to become true. Not every achievement is done by really intelligent people. Not every record is done by the strongest person.  You don’t need to have any of these things to accomplish your goals/dreams; all it takes is persistence and determination.
