Education “The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focused on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts.” ― Roopleen, Words to inspire the winner in YOURoopleenWords to inspire the winner in YOU “Do your best on the test to attain success!” It is testing time again which will mark the significant milestone of students and the teacher’s performance this school year 2014-2015. Why does it matter so much if students will pass the state test or not ? Does it make the difference when they face their future life and career? Do you think most of the successful men and women after 15 years or more would be those that perform well on the test? That is remain to be seen!!! However, we always encourage our students to do your best on the test and nothing less to attain success. Good luck, everyone!!!
