The chapter in the book pertains to school culture. The assignment for class was to bring in a prop that symbolized my school culture. The prop that I brought is a sign that says, "Those Who Stay Will be Champions."  The slogan originated from The University of Michigan and was brought to Perry High School by a former football coach who played at Michigan, Bob Ritley. While the slogan first only applied to the sports fields, the idea soon spread to the rest of the school. What the slogan meant to the school, at least from my perspective is simple. That if you continue to work hard and do the right things to accomplish your goal, then something good will happen to you. It does not necessarily mean that you will achieve all your goals but if your keep working to the best of your honest ability than you will succeed, one way or another. I think that was a great thing to tell students. They might not be doing the best in all their classes or athletic fields, or in the broad sense of every day life, but if they continue to work hard they will be rewarded.
