I graduated from College with a C average. And it took me 5 years. This isn't because I'm stupid or lazy. But I'm also not a genius and it takes a lot of effort for me to succeed. I repeated classes more than once at times. BUT in the end I succeeded and I taught students who have since done well in school. I didn't get a trophy, or valdictorian award. I simply improved myself. I started out, in my first semester only passing half of my classes. By the last year I had raised my grades and got an A in one of my core courses. BECAUSE I worked hard. I didn't have a high self esteem but I saw that I needed to succeed and so I pushed myself hard to do better each year, each course.
Pushing yourself to do better is more important than getting an A or some award. Success is improving yourself and working to your potential regardless of the end result. We can't lower the bar for students who don't want to work hard or for those who can't. But if you simply can't and you've tried more than once, then you need to know when to change your method or task and find something or someway TO succeed.
