PVXC Thought of the Week: "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."

-Albert Einstein

Perserverance is something that seems to be lacking among many... Lucky for us, we aren't "many"! We are Renegades, we do that which is different than your normal high school kid... and we persevere. What does that mean? It means we keep at it. And, like Einstein, when faced with a problem, we continue to work on it knowing that through consistent dedication we can figure it out. This part of the season often requires us to dig in a bit and persevere. We've been going for a long time, and it's easy to lose sight of the finish line. We're almost there! Keep digging! Keep pushing! Keep showing up! All the hard work you and your teammates have put in will be worth it. This is just another piece of the puzzle. PUT IT ALL TOGETHER!
