Birmingham is already proud of you, so just do your best. Here's what some famous people have to say about success:

"Doubt whom you will, but never doubt yourself."
-Christian Nestell Bovee

"Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it."
-- William Durant

"I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed."
-- Michael Jordan, one of the NBA's greatest players.
