Student Success Statement

“I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right.”

Dean Smith

This quote means sometimes when you don’t mean for something good to happen to you, sometimes it just does because you made others realize what you are capable of. Dean Smith was trying for him and his team to work hard that way they were able to have success. Not only did they have the most team with wins but he also has a legacy that everyone will remember him by. For example, if you work really hard to become a successful player and you try really hard that other people start to notice you even though that is not your intention. People begin to recognize you and it’s something that you didn’t even want. But once you know that and start a legacy you will see that all your hard work payed off. You were only trying to do what was right, but when you did that you are able to show others.
