Student Success Statement

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

Dean Smith

Reflection:

Mr. Smith is trying to say that you shouldn’t do things because you want to be recognized as something great or that your better that everyone. No you should do things because they are the right things to do. This relates to us because we might be jealous of people so we do things to make ourselves look better. No matter how benevolent the action you accomplished is you shouldn’t do it out of vain. After all if you do good then good will come to you and you will achieve great things. By doing good not only will you be a good person but you will also feel great. Mr.Smith was not trying to prove that he was the best coach, he was just doing the good that should be done. As an outcome of that he became one of the best coaches and beat the record for most wins. So even though someone might be better than you you should not try to do things out of vain but just stick to doing good because it’s the right thing to do. If you do good people will be appreciative and loving towards you. Once you have done the right things not only will you feel good but time after you will leave a legacy. When you do good good will come to you, along with fortune and opportunities.
