One of the biggest misconceptions about being successful in school (and in life) is that you sit at your desk and automatically success comes to you. When the reality is that you have to fight for it, and fight hard.

• Trust yourself
• Work Hard
• Don’t be afraid to fail
• Stay Focused
• PUSH YOURSELF
• Be Persistent
• Never Give Up!

Say to yourself:  I will persist until I succeed!
