How will you be remembered?

Posted Nov 2, 2009 | By Amanda Waugh - Central Michigan Women's Soccer

As student-athletes we have something in common: a burning desire to do something above average, to be something more, to do something special, to be the best. Many strive to be the best on their team, to be the best in their conference, to break a record, to stand out in some way from their competition. Few want to be average.

It is for the same reason that student-athletes typically excel in the classroom. They are not content with mediocrity and they bring that attitude to their studies.

However, how many student-athletes are truly remembered for what they achieved at their school, whether in their sport or in the classroom?

There are so many intelligent and talented student-athletes, it becomes harder all the time for us to do things that are remarkable, to achieve the level of success where you can truly say you left a legacy.

So what do most of us do who were not lucky enough to possess gifts of supreme athleticism or brilliance? How do we ensure we stand out and are remembered? The answer lies within the foundation of Student-Athletes Leading Social Change (SALSC).

With SALSC, you don't need a special gift of supreme athletic talent or academic brilliance; all you need is the desire to make a difference.

SALSC gives every student-athlete the opportunity to be remembered for something big, something beyond themselves. You can make a real, sizable, global impact by using the same core values and personal standards you used to become a student-athlete.

It takes many straight A's to be remembered as a student. It takes many game-changing plays to be remembered as an athlete.

But, by getting involved in SALSC and building schools for children on the other side of the world, you will be remembered as a pioneering leader who made a difference.
