Dear Learners,

I read a lot of social science and pop psychology books, and all of these books say the same thing: talent does not matter as much as effort and ability does not matter as much as practice.

You are all good enough, smart enough, and capable enough. What separates highly successful people is the effort and focus they bring. If you come to school everyday focused on learning all that you can learn, you will. If you focus on improving and being the best you can be, you will be better than you ever thought possible.

You can’t control where you were born, who you were born to, or how you were born, but you can control the stuff that really matters.

Sincerely, 

Mr. Heimbuck
