High School Legacy Research Paper

Think about who you are and what you have done. Now, imagine in some time from now people are remembering your life. How would they say your name? Would they say your name with respect and honor or would they say it with disgust? They will remember who you were, how you acted, and what you did. How people remember you is called a legacy. It’s also how you would want to be remembered. The legacy I would like to leave behind is an honorable one.

Everyone has a legacy. A legacy is like a message in a bottle, something you leave behind to be discovered again. It’s a story that people are remembered by, whether it’s a work of art or a famous quote. It’s an impact you leave for a place or a person. A legacy is like a treasure chest; all you have to do is unlock it. I want to make my own legacy so I’ll be remembered for something. It doesn’t matter what it is, I just want to leave a positive mark on this school.

Throughout my high school career I have tried to impact the lives of those around me while also learning from those around me as well. Over the four years I have attended my high school,I have grown into a person who is now more attentive of the different people, opinions, and cultures that surround me and this in turn has allowed me become more open-minded. This would be the legacy I hope that I leave behind. When I graduate from school and consequently leave my community, I hope that I have left a legacy of growth. That my experience can be an example of someone else because it is my firm belief that the greatest legacy one can leave behind can be a legacy others can learn from.

I have earned a Legacy Scholarship for a number of reasons. I have attended schools in Mapleton since I was in preschool. Ever since then, I have loved going to school and have had many ambitions for myself. Because of that, I have always thought of myself as a precocious child. I believe I have had many responsibilities since I was young, and therefore making me very independent. For instance, my mom has worked nights for as long as I can remember. Because she would work nights, when I’d get home from school she would be on her way out for work. This meant that there was no one to tell me to do my homework or help me with it. Ever since I was in kindergarten I was a responsible and intelligent student and that has continued up to this date.

“Next up, Congratulations to Matthew Collier!”... it is time. The moment you have been waiting for three years now, or what felt like and eternity. The crowd is clapping for you as you get up from you seat and walk up to the principal wearing your gown from head to toe. You can see you parents in the crowd have tears roll down their eyes in happiness. As you grab your diploma, you think to yourself how fast middle school went. You have flashbacks from when you have just entered this school in 6th grade and thought to yourself that you have plenty of time in middle school and there is no need to rush. However, now that you are finishing up your last day of 8th grade and heading off to high school, you want to leave a legacy which your teachers

Throughout my three years at Barnegat High School I have strived to be a respectful, responsible and influential student and athlete. I have worked hard to stand out among my peers, be dedicated to everything I do, work towards achieving my personal goals and positively influence those around me. As an individual and a young adult, I believe it is the responsibility of younger generations to work towards being the best version of ourselves we can possibly be and positively contribute to others and our community. Overall, I aspire to be a well rounded individual and character that demonstrates the qualities of respect, citizenship, and responsibility.

If I were to leave one quote as my enduring legacy, it would be “The only person responsible for your success and failures is yourself.”. The quote’s inherent explicit message is that a person is responsible for what happens to them. This message is intended to encourage people to take accountability and responsibility for their actions’ results. On the other hand, an essential implicit motivation of the quote is to counter the inclination of people currently to blame everyone but themselves when their plans go awry. Furthermore, another implicit message of the quote is people need to become self-reliant. In today’s intricate and constantly fluctuating world, people are becoming more and more dependent on others while they fail to take liability

My time at Elk County Catholic High School is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I have made a large amount of memories throughout the past four years, especially on the sporting surfaces. I am upset about graduating in less than a month, but I am also excited to begin a new chapter in my life. I simply want to be remembered as a kid who made the most out oh his experience in high school. It has been my goal to keep good grades, along with having the most fun possible. This starts with spending time with my friends. I never pass on an opportunity to spend time with those whom I have made countless memories with since elementary school. I also made it a priority to play as many sports as possible. Sports in general are my

Senior year of high school is finally here. I am quite nervous about this year and especially what follows throughout the year. Most seniors in high school are excited for the year and have a plan and just know what they are going to do when they graduate. But honestly, I'm not sure what I want to do yet. I'm just worried about today, and my health, and lifestyle and just trying to make my senior year a great year.

As I get ready to face my senior year, no body can predict what is going to happen like the weather. Weather is a great example to represent the coming senior year, sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad. There is nothing much I can do about it. Even though there is a forecast, but still, there is going to be something unexpected.

This academic growth came at a cost. I became very cocky and arrogant. I wasn’t labeled as a teacher pet, but rather a “bragger”. People hate braggers more than teacher pets. To shield myself from being bullied or hated, I disassociate from everyone. My popular friends who had average grades all seem to despise me.Talkative Weimin was gone. I was alone again.

When my years of life begin to come to an end and I look back on life I want to have a good conscience when I leave the world knowing that I did my best to make the world a better, nicer place. I want to have . . . a good legacy.

Although legacies may remind you of death, it also gives you a different perspective of what accomplishments and actions a person left behind when they have passed. A legacy is like an interconnection between the past and the future. For example, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat because of her skin color thus, creating an chain of event that eliminated segregation. Today, the world is still affected by her actions.

At my Rivers graduation the top things that I hope were written about me would be that I tried many different and new things, that I challenged myself, and that I made an impact on the school.

I am interested in a class history speech because I would like to be able to tell a story about one of the small part in our lives and bring it into the light so we could enjoy and remember it once more. I have always been interested in graduation speeches ever since i was little, and it has honestly been one of my dreams to speak in front of our Hart-Ransom loved ones, such as friends and family, and let them hear what their student has experienced while at this great school. Ever since I could remember, I had always imagined myself speaking in front of Hart Ransom and giving a speech of how great my years here were. I want to give a speech because I am leaving my 2nd home, Hart-Ransom, along with people whom I’ve known for 9 years and it
