\\nMemorable Quote: \\u201cAnd, when they start college with faculty, I would encourage them not to focus on perfection, not to focus on product over process, because it\'s a long road to learn how to how to learn and to learn how to be successful. And it involves trial, it involves error, it involves trying again.\\u201d Prof. Genet\\u2019s Advice to High Schoolers.
