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


 This statement means persistence is the most important thing you should have. Having talent or being really smart will not overcome being persistent. As long as you try your best at everything you want to achieve you can accomplish it just as easily.
