"That which we persist in doing becomes easy to do; not that the nature of the thing has changed, but our ability to do has increased."  --Ralph Waldo Emerson

An individual's educations is one of his or her most prized possessions.  It opens the door to so many opportunities in life and enriches the mind and being of an individual.  While the public school setting is designed to assist each student's needs in furthering education, ultimately, the value and experience of one's education is up to the individual.  Attitude and effort are key in developing one's skills and creating an atmosphere of life-long learning.  A poor effort creates a poor mind; an average effort creates an average mind; and a superior effort creates a superior mind.  I am confident that every student has the potential and ability to become great thinkers and exceptional doers.  The only question remaining is how much do you want it and what are you willing to give for it?
