Our “TAKES PRIDE” theme of the month is “Perseverance.”

This week’s quote is from Bruce Jenner. Bruce Jenner said, “I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you’re a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you’ll win – if you don’t, you won’t.”

Bruce Jenner also said, “My biggest fear was going to school. I was afraid the teacher was going to make me read in front of the class, and I was going to look bad. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade.”

Despite his early problems, Jenner persevered and graduated from high school and attended Graceland College. Jenner knew how to persevere.
