His message? Keep trying until you get what you want out of life. Why? Because sometimes it takes a lot of determination to achieve our goals. It can mean working hard and not giving up in the face of fear and failure.<\/p>\n<p>Today, remember the message of Edward James Olmos and the words of another great American actor, Mickey Rooney: <em>You always pass failure on the way to success.<\/em> So don&#8217;t let failure stop you. Instead, let failure be an opportunity to do better the next\u00a0time&#8230; an opportunity to try harder and to learn from your mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DROP OFF TABLE<\/strong>: Student Services has a drop off table.\u00a0 If you are expecting something dropped off, please come to the Student Services drop off table for pick up.\u00a0Ms. Osorio will write you a hall pass or sign your pass.\u00a0 If you are expecting money, please see Ms. Osorio.
