The second condition necessary for success is that students must exhibit behaviors and develop personal characteristics that contribute to persistence, motivation, commitment, engagement, and self-regulation. The degree to which these characteristics fuel the desire to achieve an educational objective is directly related to the likelihood of success. Students will succeed if they are committed to their academic goals.
