Sometimes, the difference between sucess and failure is persistance.

Persitance to put in the hours, the energy, and the work to truely make a difference in your students' lives.

As a teacher, you're asked to teach to the cirrculum. To use the book. To meet the standards.

But, as a student, I urge you to go the extra mile. To put in the work to make school relevent and useful to 21st century learners. To actually change the lives and the eductions of the of my generation, and, by extension, change the world.

All you need to do is go the extra mile.
