Student Success Statement: 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:  Well Mr. Coolidge has a point when you have persistence you will surely get more things done. You need determination and dedication. You need to be what is right you need to keep going when things get hard or rough you need to venture on and carry on and continue going because you’re not going to let anything get in your way because you know what you want and no one else. You need to be someone who leads and works tremendous measures to find whatever you’re looking out for.

Writing Skills: 1 of 10

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in , you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

Student Success Statement: Herbert Kaufman

Student Success Statement

“Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.”

Herbert Kaufman

Reflection: Well you always have to know what is victory and based off of everything Mr. Haymore has taught us it’s a state of choosing the right. But what if you need to do something that requires you to choose the wrong and how do you know what the right is? You can’t base your life off of something you heard because honestly you don’t know what it is. Everyone is entitled to opinion as I have my free speech, what I’m trying to say is you need to do what you think is right to gain victory.
