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 education 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

Reflection:

What I think that they are trying to say is that persistence and determination are things that one has and can’t be changed or removed at all. All people have persistence and determination they just have to find it and let it all out. Some should give it a try and will probably do better in other thinks and games. Like in soccer if you feel as if you can’t make a goal or a move, you have to use persistence and determination to overcome those feelings and play a good game and then you’ll be happy knowing that you tried your best.
