Student Success Statement

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


Image result for dean smithThis quote is nice since people usually want fame and power, which he did have but he didn't want to accept it anyway. He felt that he was doing what was right, he didn't want to be known as a hero or something great but instead he was doing the right thing. He was very proud of his team but he liked being in the shadows' he showed his gratitude towards his team and respect he didn't see himself as someone great. It was a great accomplishment to hit 300 wins with his team and every time they did win he was always respectful to the other team.

Student Success Statement  "The most important thing you will ever have is good values."  -Dennis Prager  What this quote is trying to say is that knowing whats right is better then following your feelings, I don't really agree with his example about using a dog over a human. As an animal lover I totally disagree with this animals have feelings too while human are born with evil, now this isn't a animal rant but you get the jest.

Student Success Statement  "Right is right only when entire."  - Victor Hugo This quote is very truthful since when telling a lie, could benefit from further outcomes. I believe that others should understand when doing something bad it could have horrible outcomes. Apparently to others a partial truth is considered a whole lie, but it depends on the one telling it. For example when doing work for a job or school either or, and you have to finish a quiz that needs to be taken at home and online. So you take the quiz and realize you don't understand what to do, so what you do is search up the answers online that is a whole lie. Just because you try to answer the quiz on your own doesn't truly mean that you tried. Honestly I don't believe that is what he's actually trying to say but i can only assume, but right will always be right and you should never make bad choices.
