Student Success Statement

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement”

-Matt Biondi

Olympic Gold Medal Winner, World Record Holder

          I agree with Matt Biondi when he says this. He is trying to say that if you keep trying and trying and trying, you will achieve great things. Even if you fail 99 times, you can succeed on your 100^th time and even then you can get better and better. Maybe you tried to play basketball against your best friend who was undefeated. You probably lost the first time, and the next, and maybe even the next one. Eventually, with persistence and hard training, you may finally be able to beat him, and maybe eventually you can join the NBA.
