Persistence!!!!

Student Success Statement

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”

Matt Biondi

This is an amazing statement by former Olympic swimmer Matt Biondi. Mr. Biondi conveys that persistence can alter your perception of failure and prompt you to achieve extraordinary wonders. For example, say a student receives an atrocious grade on his essay. Even though, the student is terrible at writing essays he persists and attends each tutoring session provided by his teacher. The student’s persistence allows him to improve his writing skills. The student then begins earning much better grades on his essays and improves every time he writes an essay and finally attains a wonderful grade. I have numerous goals, over 100, and if I would like to achieve every single one of them then I will have to persist since life is not a sleek road, it is a turbulent road full of numerous obstacles. I overpower numerous obstacles everyday of my life and with this persistence I am sure that I will succeed. Overall, persistence is an amazing quality that promotes success among us.

Are Black Holes Actually Grey Holes?

A few weeks ago renowned physicist Stephen Hawking wrote a new paper pertaining to black holes. Mr. Hawking has been debating whether the theoretical "firewall" of a black hole which was proposed by a group of physicists in 2012. Mr. Hawking conveyed that the "firewall" and the alleged event horizon (the line that cannot be crossed unless you would like to be teared to pieces by the potent gravitational forces). Mr. Hawking invokes an "apparent horizon" alters the manner of quantum fluctuation within a black hole. Ergo an alleged grey area. Although Stephen Hawking is a trustworthy physicist, I await more definitive answers such as one that pertains to ECOs (Eternally Collapsing Objects) or other explanatory wonders that would explain these apparent horizons.

What is your opinion on Mr. Hawking's theory? Leave your response on the comment section!!

Running Is my Passion???

Many individuals who excel in running are pressured into joining a cross-country or a running team/group. I for one run because it is my passion not because I excel at it. If you are a decent runner, but prefer basketball then join the basketball team. Peer pressure or self induced prefer should not interrupt your decisions to pursue your passion. I enjoy running, but I do not advertise running to all of my friends (i.e "Running is AWESOME, you should join the Cross-Country team!) If you are passionate about something then you will surely enjoy doing it many days of the week, but if you do not enjoy something and only do it because you are pressured to then you will feel as if you are being tortured, that your life slips away, that you are continually falling down a bottomless pit. Overall, what I am attempting to convey is that you should only participate in an activity that you truly enjoy.
