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

This great man said something genius. He said that not matter how smart you are, no matter how talented you think you are, no matter how rich or educated you are, you will never succeed without being able to endure even the toughest of things. Some people quit just after on try, some don't even try at all, he is saying, even if people reject you, you have to keep going until someone doesn't and they finally see your true potential. For example, Jordan was kicked out of his high school basketball team because they said he sucked, and look at him now, all star national basketball player winning millions of dollars every year until the day he dies, and they said he was never going to be anything in life.
