Student Success Statement
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more important 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

This is an amazing statement by Calvin Coolidge. Persistence and determination are both important qualities that will allow success. For example, let’s say that one of your classmates is labeled as a genius; Does that ensure success? No, what if he does not complete his homework and thinks of himself superior to his peers. Will an employer hire him if he is not as approachable as the other applicants; chances are that he will not be employed for the position. Determination and diligence is what allows people to realize their ambitions not talent. Talent is only properly applied when someone who expresses the qualities above it can never ensure success because many do not apply themselves and therefore do not succeed.
