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 will always solve the problems of the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30^th president of the United States

Reflection

I agree with our past president what good is being talented if you are not doing anything with that talent. Like-wise what good is being a genius at something if you are not doing anything with it. If you really only on talent or genius you will never reach your full potential. If you feel that you are not good at something don’t despair, because that is what practice is for; Practice makes perfect.

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 email 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 seriously 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

“To see what is right and to not do

It is want of courage.”

-Confucius

Reflection

My interpretation of confusius’ statement is to be knowing of what is the right thing to do and yet not taking actions to do it demonstrates a want of courage and lack of it. Doing what is right is not always the easiest thing to do. Sometimes doing what is right is against what everyone around you thinks is. Remember the popularity of the action doesn't make it right
