Student Success Statement

“That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: I think this statement means that the harder we try, the easier it will be. For example, if you want to learn how to play a sport, you need to keep trying. Maybe you won’t be very good at first, but if you try your best, eventually you will. If you are really committed to trying to learn how to do something, you will try and try until you get the hang of it. No matter how many times you fail.
