“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; 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
Student Reflection: Out of all my beliefs the topic of education
has been my main interest. I believe that education is not academics. I believe
that education understands the value of things, living, and knowing. A person can be very bad in mathematics but
very skilled in art. A person can be very skilled in mathematics but could do
poorly in English Literature a smart individual will keep going no matter how
hard the situation gets or how many barriers they have to conquer.
