    Never Give In

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jan 11, 2024
     | 2,009 views

    I. Introduction A. It took Winston Churchill 3 years to get through 8th grade because he had trouble learning Latin and consistently finished at the very bottom of his class. Ironically, years later, in the midst of WW2, he was asked to speak at the Oxford University commencement exercises. The ...read more
