                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 dialects. 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.

The quote is attempting the convey the importance of the quality known as persistence. When a certain task is attempted you can always expect Adversarial  forces that will approach you and attempt to halt your development and if we are not able to exhibit persistence we will not be able to overcome such forces even if we are full of talent the talent will not allow us to overcome every situation. But i believe that some aspects of talent are constructed through persistence, suppose you were attempting to run one mile in under 5:00 minutes, if you were to attempt and fail, but if you were to persist you would construct a talent that can be applied into running, so therefore persistence has allowed you to develop a talent. The most important aspect of persistence is the applicability of the quality, the quality can be implemented onto every aspect of your life, such a s athletics, academics, or extra curricular activities. So therefore persistence will always assist us in the development of talents if it is applied properly.
