Student Success Statement

"It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference." -Paul Bear Bryant 

I believe this quote means that you need to prepare to be able to win. For example you could say you want to do good on a test, but if you don't study you won't pass it. You need to have the will to study to pass the test because you could say "I'm going to pass that test" but if you don't prepare for it then you won't pass it. Another example is like if you say you want to go to a good university, you can say it all you want, but if you don't get the good grades or take the necessary steps to go to university you will end up not going.  You should have the will to win, but in the end all the matters is how well you prepared.
