How To Leave A Significant Legacy

To me success is accomplishing the goals, doing things the right way, and doing what you love.

I’ve talked enough about legacies and leaving things behind. But now, it’s time to look forward, to see what’s ahead. You should put some time into thinking about what you will be remembered as. Maybe an important figure in a history book, or in a story told by a good friend. All in all, it’s the legacy you leave that matters the

There are few things that are extremely important in life, and I am positive they vary from person to person. Mine form a triangle including family and friends, education, and a hard work ethic. Without one or the other, they all fail. Without a work ethic, I would never have the motivation to get an education, or even attempt to prosper in life. Having a strong work ethic is a characteristic that everyone should have in order to be successful. My work ethic was driven by my parents at a young age and this helps me to gain respect for bosses, professors, and coworkers. It also gave me dedication through hard work, during my high school volleyball season. Lastly, my hard work ethic gives me inspiration for my current education and future

Author Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.”. I think this quote is an explanation of a lot going on right now, and I will show that by using my own experiences as a guide. To grow even more you need to push past mastery. This could include sports, by pushing yourself even harder, and life by stepping out of your comfort zone.

How do you want to be remembered? This is something said on many occasions, I’m even willing to bet it is said during 90 percent of high school and college commencement speeches. It’s said because it’s important and it’s important because a legacy leaves a mark on others. Thinking back to that one specific person in your life that really made a positive impact on you can sometimes be tough. Throughout our lives we have so many people that influence us in someway. We remember them because of their character and actions, sometimes we remember the good and sometime we remember the bad. One particular person that left a positive impact on me was my first Squad Leader, SGT Delapaz. He has influenced me through his duties as a squad

As we breathed in the crisp air for the first time, we just established something new. A legacy. Amongst the billions that have already been created and to the future ones that will continue to be constructed everyday. Not one is a copy, but they're unique and individual in their own way, helping to construct whom people become and determine what we leave afterwards. But as for everyone else writing this essay my legacy has just begun, and will carry on for a long time. So let's begin.

I might have an unhealthy tendency to push myself too hard, but it would be far preferable to do so for my passions then something as allusive as a legacy. My love of learning, of debating, of meeting new people and seeing new places was something I could feel and touch. People aren't remembered for having a passion for historically rich places, or interestingly different cultures. They aren't remembered for having an obsession with potted plants, or for spending days reading about favored historical figures, and they certainly aren't remembered for owning far too many cats and getting far too few hours of sleep because they can't stop thinking about if animals go to heaven. Because those things aren't interesting to people, they're tiny things that affect very few others, and that's why they're important.

Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, or risk that you have taken and its impact on you.

My favorite quote will always be by Sappho in which she says, “Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.” She was right. She’s remembered for being a gay poet and is immortalized despite a lot of her works not being found completely. It’s one of my favorite quotes because identifying as a nonbinary queer person who also likes girls, I can relate to Sappho a lot when she writes about her desire for love and personal heartbreaks. This quote also brings me ease as even in “another time” someone will still remember me. I think we all want to leave a legacy of some sort, and for me I want my legacy to be centered around my experience and accomplishments as an American born Punjabi artist and social activist, who was also highly active in the LGBTQ+ community. I want someone to remember me because it is a vicious cycle that people of color and members of the color in the LGBTQ+ community get forgotten in history. History is white- washed. But the idea that I will do enough in my life to be remembered in some shape or form, reminds me that my efforts and failures as a Punjabi artist and social activist are just part of a legacy I am starting.

This reflects on modern life because people will show their loyalty for their group, job or organization. In my own personal life, my loyalty to my future and family is important. I am determined to become everything I want to be. I have already accomplished cooking and receiving a certificate for it. I am a very giving person and show generosity when it comes to helping the poor by volunteering.

Topic: Discuss and explain in detail the legacy (inheritance) you want to leave behind for your children?

A legacy can be describe as many things. Some people leave good legacy but also bad ones. A legacy is the only thing many people remember you by. Many people have the legacy of being a great doctor or a fantastic husband. I would like mine to be about the positive things I did in life. Even when I made mistakes I want people to remember I always tried to fix what I did wrong. Well for me I would like my legacy to be good. I want to be remember as the friend who was there for any one at anytime. The lovely mother and friend who was always there.

What impression are you making in this world? What legacy are you leaving behind? Upon asking myself these same questions I decided to find out. I proceeded to enter my name “Heather Richardson” in Google.com. While I was waiting for the results to load I began wonder what information could be found and would it be something I really wanted to know. Would my name be associated with bad people doing bad things? Would any skeletons in my own closet be revealed? Lucky for me I grew up in an age that every aspect of childhood stupidity wasn’t recorded on cell phone video or posted all over Facebook. Results finally loaded and I was slightly surprised at what I found. I discovered that I am an American speed skater born in 1989. Only one problem

Most people don't realize the people who've made real difference are not all privileged, advantaged, or "special" by any means. You could have health or mental disabilities and still make an impact. Some could be sport professionals or national leaders may inspire the world, while if you're quieter you can inspire your family, friend's or co-workers. You could be young and do something you think isn't big, but in the future it will be. What impact will you make?

You walk out on stage, stand before a microphone, and answer a prompt given less than 24 hours beforehand. It wasn’t a prompt such as a yes or no answer, it was more of a get-to-know-you prompt. Our prompt was “What event from your past, will have the biggest impact on your future?” This prompt could have been taken so many ways, but I talked about something close to my heart. I volunteer during my summers at Nash General Hospital. This is a place where most people would never want to be but I enjoyed it. It does have its sad areas, but it has some of the greatest. The man who left the most impact on me was Harry Lewis. He was a seventy year old cancer patient who was receiving chemotherapy at the hospital. He loved playing practical jokes and telling me funny stories from his life on the days I worked on his floor. He impacted me by making me realize that no matter what life threw at me or what I was up against, I should always have a positive mindset because in the end, everything will be okay. I won an award for my Self-Expression. The award didn’t even come close to how giving that speech changed me.
