“Most of all, there had been a time when honor meant something at the Colgan School, when school property was respected, when the faculty was revered—when the headmaster’s mint-condition 1958 Porsche Speedster would never have been placed on top of the fountain in the quad with water shooting out of its headlights on an unusually warm evening in November. There had been a time when the girl responsible—the very one who had lucked into that last-minute vacancy only a few months before—would have had the decency to admit what she’d done and quietly taken her leave of the school. But unfortunately, that era, much like the headmaster’s car, was finished.”

“In the end — or maybe even at the start — we all share one truth: death. It doesn’t matter how rich you are. How kind. How broken. How brilliant. Death is the one door we all walk through. You can’t hide from it. You can’t bargain with it. And you can’t bring anything with you when you go — except your legacy. So what will yours be? When your time here is over, When the dust settles, And the world keeps spinning without you — What will they remember? Not the things you owned. Not the titles. Not the followers. But the way you made people feel. The courage you showed. The love you gave. The cycle you chose to break. The healing you sparked. So ask yourself — What’s the one thing you want to be remembered for after death? And then live every day like that answer matters.”
