What the world saw last Friday when Dr. Rachael Gunn, aka Raygun came out wearing that sporty Australian uniform while performing that awkward routine towards the end of the Paris Olympics. Her kangaroo pose became a major meme. But there is a major lesson on how to stay persistent. She admitted her faults and said what she believed in. The belief like the late Jim Valvano used to say in 'don't give up, don't ever give up' definitely applies. College students go through this, especially when having to write papers and taking tests. They are so confident going in, but some teachers in the end aren't impressed.
