"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."
Dean Smith 
I think that by legacy he means fame and that he wasn't trying to do anything for himself or anything for people to remember him he just wanted to do what he felt was right and it ended up by him actually leaving a legacy even when he wasn't trying.

"CTR connects you to happiness and Success. CTW disconnects you."

Emergency Medical Technician
Duties and Responsibilities:
Emergency medical technicians, or EMTs, usually work in teams of two in specially designed ambulances.  They provide immediate life or limb saving medical treatment at the scenes of accidents and injuries as well as transport casualties to hospital emergency rooms for further care. The job is both physically demanding and stressful.  Emergency medical technicians often respond to: 
  • Automobile accidents
  • Heart attacks
  • Gunshot wounding
  • Unscheduled childbirth
  • Drownings
  • Other serious medical emergencies
Average Yearly Salary: $25,000 - $37,500
Education:
Students must have a high school diploma (in some areas GED certificates may be substituted) in order to become an emergency medical technician.  Driver's education, health, and science courses are strongly recommended and may be required before enrolling in some training programs. 
Basic emergency medical technician training includes about 100-120 hours spent in the classroom and 10 hours in a hospital emergency room.  Emergency medical technicians are required to pass state licensing or certification tests and participate in continuing education programs.  Many emergency medical technicians earn associate degrees in their field.
I would not like to be an Emergency Medical Technician Because I just won’t be able to take all the trama that most EMTs see.


Student Success Statement
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
Aristotle
I think this quote is trying to say that when you’re being educated the main point is that it sticks with your brain and heart. Just like the quote “in one ear and out the other.” We don’t want that happening.
