Student Success Statement

"Nothing in the world can take the place of

Persistence."

TALENT will not; nothing is more

common that 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

30^th president of US (1872-19330)
