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 problems of the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30^th president of the United States

What it is saying is that you don’t have to be the smartest person to succeed. You don’t have to have talent to be a good person. If you try your best and always have a positive attitude you can do about anything. You need to keep moving forward.
