"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

For example mr. haymore showed us a video of the most important famous people in the world that they failed but the things they did are still persistence today. And that's very powerful and they were doubted and hit a low point such as all humans do but to succeed you must pick yourself up and be determine like these men.
