Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement 

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right." 

Dean Smith 

          Dean Smith was a very inspirational person to his athletes. This shows how he didn't want the fame, all he wanted was to make people know that they're doing what is right. He wanted to leave the legacy of being a good person and that that is far more important than the money and fame that comes with being a sports player. Having the reputation of a good person will always be far more interesting that having a reputation of the worst kind, infamous. A person who chooses the right and does the right thing will deserve far more better respect and attention than those who do not.  Dean was known not only for his athletic service but for the respect and good choices he made. We should always choose the right and be happy with the right choices we make.
