What is the key to academic success?
“I believe the key to success in anything is persistence. There will always be obstacles to be jumped, deadlines to be met, and assignments that arent particularly fun, but no matter what, the only option is to push through them. The other piece to persistence is the willingness to ask for help. Even with all the drive in the world, if a concept isnt understood, no progress will be made. Teachers, friends, and family are all there to help. Everyone wants the people they love to succeed and will usually do anything in their power to help out. Persistence and a supportive community make success much more achievable.” Most influential teacher? Marty Cunningham, fifth- and sixth-grade teacher at Acme Elementary.
