Student Success Statement by Calvin Coolidge

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 

Reflection:

i think this is a wonderful statement because it shows that nothing in the world can make us better people except being determined. When someone is determined and they show that determination by not cheating, they are good people because they are doing things right. Being persistent is the right thing to be because it makes us better people. If we want to show the world that we are good people, start small and then go big.
