Student Success Statement

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, 30th President of the United States

Coolidge being a candid yet, silent president was a wise man with this statement. Persistence is a trait that is most important in the characteristics of the human composition. Without persistence to break barriers of the human race, we would not be in the place where we are today. There are men everywhere that have the talent to do something spectacular, but it is uncommon for them to refine the God- given skill into something useful. A genius has the same problem of not using their full potential. Persistence is a game changer for the better. With persistence like in progressivism there will always be barriers that will be destroyed.
