Signing off with an inspirational story of a Man, who never gave up. I hope this will help all our alumni in seeing their dreams with clarity, and a belief that they too can achieve all that their heart desires, when they have the conviction to do so.

A man of whom all are aware, lived his life with adversity, but he constantly believed he could achieve. Failed in business at age 31 Was defeated in a legislative race at age 32 Failed again in business at age 34 Overcome death of sweetheart at age 35 Had a nervous breakdown at age 36 Lost an election at age 38 Lost a congressional race at age 43 Lost a congressional race at age 46 Lost a congressional race at age 48 Lost a Senatorial race at age 55 Failed to become Vice President at age 56 Lost a Senatorial race at age 58 Was elected President of the United States at age 60 With all the adversity that faced him, President Abraham Lincoln had no reason to continually try other than the fact that he believed it was his destiny and measure of success to accomplish this task. “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” Dale Carnegie So Don’t ever give up!!
