Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to leave legacy. 

I was trying to do what was right."

Dean Smith

What I think that Dean Smith is trying to say is that we don't always have a legacy. But we can have one but not all the time. We can sometimes do the right thing. Dean is telling us that he did the right thing. He made a stadium and they were going to name it be his own name but he didn't want to. Why?  Well because he said that he was just trying to do the right thing. He also said that he that he didn't deserve it. I think that he does but not he does not. He feels that he just wanted to the right thing to help people successed. Just don't always leave your legacy. Just once and awhile. For example, he help basketball player do what is right. He didn't give up on them. He wanted to do what is right in life. For doing the right thing he got 877 win games.  So if he did the right thing this is what he gets in life a good life.
