"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to."
~George Allen (whoever that is...)
I've been told many times that I'm smart, and this really frustrates me. I don't think people really understand the difference between a smart person, and a hardworking, determined person. For the record, I really am not that smart. I just know where I want to go in life, and will keep trying to achieve the things I want because I'm too much of a perfectionist. People think that just because I have a 4.0, that I must be a genius, when in reality, I just do by best and put all the effort into it as I can. Anyways....don't quit. Keep going. Even though it can really stink sometimes, I think it's suppose to pay off in the end...
P.S. I really do think that quote fits me to a tee though. I mean, have you seen some of the things that an unimportant and unintelligent person received just because of my hardwork and determination? I would have never thought I would get Student of the Year...
