The Comeback Kids

Giving up is easy. Pressing on is hard. Successful people aren't successful necessarily because they are talented, they're successful mainly because they don't give up easily. They get pressing on. It's in their blood.

We got to brag on three kids today who pressed on recently through adversity; Chris, Larissa and Brandi. When faced with the obstacle of academic ineligibility this past grading period, they were faced with a choice: Give up or go on.

They chose wisely. Working to improve their grades and their running, the three have come back from an academic brink that has led many-a-teen to athletic suicide and are now not only eligible but they are running better than they ever have and looking like varsity athletes.

Is that cool or what??

May we all do likewise when faced with the same or similar hurdles. We all have a choice: Give up or go on. It's the fine line between success and failure, accomplishment and mediocrity, winning and losing.

We celebrated three winners today.
