Student Success Statement

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

All the time that we was coaching, Dean Smith based everything on one thing. All he wanted was to do what was right. As he said himself, he wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. Everything that he did and all the choices he made led him to that. This comes to show that when you do what’s right you will receive something in return. When you do what is right all you will receive in return are good things. You have be someone who chooses the right at all time. Although choosing the right also means that you’re doing what’s right knowing that you will not receive anything in return. You can’t only do something when you want something in return. This is what Dean Smith taught us. All along his career he wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. He was doing what was right for his team. He was trying to help them. Not himself. He did things that impacted his students in a good way. With his passing they were all very sad. The whole world knew about Dean Smith. They honored his memory with a great tribute. He is a true example of someone who chose the right and was rewarded greatly for that.
