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

Quote by Dean Smith

I understand what Dean Smith was saying in this quote. Dean Smith wasn't leaving a legacy of his amazing career he had coaching, he was choosing the right thing to leave. He wasn't trying to get more money but he said that if he ever felt he couldn't give the players or people the enthusiasm like before than he would retire. Dean Smith had a great influence on the basketball program once he retired and they made a book about him. Years after he said he had "progressive neurocognitive disorder" and had trouble remembering things. Dean Smith retired for the right thing, not to get more money or leave his legacy. Dean Smith was choosing the right thing and good things happened to him by calling the Basketball Stadium after him. Always choose the right and good things will happen to you too.

Student Success Statement

"We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn't do." Quote by Richard L. Evans I agree with this quote by Richard L. Evans because it tells us what we should continue to do and what to stop to do. For example, if you are drinking alcohol or doing drugs than you should stop and if you are doing good in school then you should continue to keep doing it. School wise i am doing good so far and in sports wise too and i should continue to stay this way. I have recently started doing weights and i will continue. And on thanksgiving day i went to give food to the homeless in Downtown LA and i hope to keep doing it and start a small community where people can donate clothes and food to give to the homeless. Always have the courage to start and continue what we should do and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do.

Student Success Statement: In bad company

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company." Quote by George Washington the man on the 1 dollar bill (also the first president  of the U.S) I agree with this quote by George Washington. Its always better to be alone to have bad company because if you have bad company then bad decisions with bad consequences may occur. But if you stay alone then the worst thing that can happen is getting bored but its always better than doing drugs and drinking with "friends". Bad company can be those people that you call "friends". True friends wouldn't make you do anything bad and maybe just maybe if they ask you to and you say no to them they would stop and not keep pressuring you to do such a bad thing. Being with friends may be fun and all but sometimes you are better off alone. Just do the right thing and be responsible and safe.
