Student Success Calvin Coolidge

"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 

Reflection: I really like this statement one of the best that Mr. Haymore has showed us. This gets me very motivated. The video he put before also motivated me because all of them went through failure and that shows me that I will fail and I shouldn't be scared to fail. It all depends how people react to it. You need Persistence and not give up when your failing.
For example: You want straight A's and you have a couple of B's that you cant bring up because you failed a test, you need to continue to do your work and do better on the next test. Also, in sports if your not doing well in games keep practicing everyone has gone through that really bad game and just feel like giving up, even I have and that just made me want to practice more.

Student Success Statement

Students Success Statement
"The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves."
Anonymous author

Reflection: You have to outdo others to be the best, thats why I don't fully agree with this statement. What I think he/she means about outdo ourselves is to reach our full potential and be the best you can be.
