Student Success Statement
“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”
Matt Biondi
Olympic Gold Medal Winner,
World Record
Holder
Reflection: Taking our time to practice and putting effort
in what we want to do is something that will reward us greatly. I’m pretty sure
in the beginning Matt didn’t know how to swim that good enough to have a
record, but in the end of all his practice and all the effort he put into his
swimming, he finally did it. He achieved a record in the Olympics. Sometimes we
start off as failures when we try to achieve our dreams and some of us end up
giving up because you are so tired of trying. I know things can get tiring but
the more you go on and the more you work hard for what you want you can and
will get it. I’m a writer and I know I’ m not all that great and yea sometimes I
get frustrated but I eventually will get better as the years go by. I just don’t
have to give up. What good does giving up bring? It brings nothing but regret
in your heart because as you grow up you’re going to be thinking “man I should’ve
tried.” Matt worked so hard to have that record and to win. He’s a human being,
I’m a human being, you’re a human being.
Why can’t we do that? Practice makes perfect. So instead of complaining about
the things we can’t do now do whatever it is you can because that will reward
you with something great.
