Sgt. 1st Class Paige is such an inspiration! His perserverance and dedication serve as an example to all of how rewarding those virtues are when one puts every effort into attaining a goal. For me, it brings to mind a quote from a speech delivered by our nation's 26th President:
"I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of a strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success with comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph."
-Theodore Roosevelt
