My Legacy Research Paper

I am a first generation Vietnamese-American. But, what does that entail? It means living the best of two worlds. It means having Vietnamese values and customs while growing up in America. It means having a unique background with figures such as my grandpa and mother who uprooted their life to come to America. It means being bi-cultural.

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.

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

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.

Just a two years ago when it was 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, our current first lady of the United States made a commencement speech at Bowie State University in Maryland. She gave a speech to the graduates of Bowie State University, which started giving education to black community two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. At that time, the school education was held in a small African Baptist church in Baltimore. However, because of such brave inspirited and qualified students who came to learn to become leaders in Maryland and throughout the country, a small church school started to flourish its education environment. So on this majestic

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

Your senior year was a wild, crazy mess. You started off the year not wanting to go to school to see Karson because you couldn’t handle it. You even left school some days when he would show up. You let your dumb self try again with Karson and it failed. You got hurt, and even cried.... A lot. You meet the love of your life, Kyle, and still talk to him even though you guys aren’t together right now. You both hope to reconnect after you finish your second year of college. Keep talking to him, don’t let him get away from you. You have had it tough this year, but by the end of the year you didn’t let anything affect you. Your grades were A’s and B’s all year. You made some amazing new friends like, Chandler, Clayton Ecker, Collin and more boys

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.

My first day of senior year had been just like every other year, except my schedule was very basic. The goals I had in mind were mainly outside of my time in school. I had been taking college courses online to better prepare myself for college and to eliminate costs in classes, so I had to make sure I passed all of them. Another goal had been to save money from my job to accomplish personal goals after I exit high school.

WELCOME…TO…LEGACY PATH! Doesn’t it sound like a path that should be in a fairytale? This pathway starts from Dole Street in front of the law building to Varney Circle. This area is known to be the grand entrance to the University of Hawaii, which explains my exaggerated greeting. These bricks on the ground were from a fundraising event in which you would buy a brick, carve whatever you desire, and place it on the pathway. Now your message will last forever, hence, legacy path. Usually, there will be a food truck available near the entrance.

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.

Time flies. I will soon finish high school and move to college. The first semester of senior year is the most important period during my life, but I still have a Dragon I need to beat. The Dragon is called Procrastination. He has troubled me for my whole life, and I have never killed him before. During my senior year, I have to try to combat him, beat him, and destroy him.

High school, four of the most interesting years of life. It is a time to find yourself and figure out who you are and what you want your place in this world to be. During this process comes friendships that build because of alike interests and beliefs. From freshman year at the bottom of the totem pole, all the way to senior year, being the top dog of your school. It is such a great feeling knowing that those three years of hard work build up to essentially a grand finale. Many big changes happen as you grow older in high school. From summer camps, to starts of a new year. From homecoming week, to the end of sport seasons. From in school privileges to coming to and leaving from school early, and finally Graduation. This grand finale year has some similarities and some differences and as you read on you will see what I mean.

My senior year is coming to an end, high school is pretty much over. With the finish line quickly approaching, I reflect on all the things I’ve done in these past four years and, more importantly, all the things I did not do in the past four years that I probably should have. In retrospect, I never did feel like high school was going to be where the best time of my life would be remembered, but now that it’s pretty much over I think maybe I should have treated it like it was. I would love to be able to say there is nothing I didn’t do that I wanted to and that I didn’t have any regrets, but there is a fair share of both. When I think too much about the end, I get sentimental about the experiences, friends, laughs, awkward moments, and more.

I always looked past it growing up but now with two beautiful little girls, I want the world for them. I want to know they can expect great things from family. That they can expect love and to be loved and not SETTLE for less than what they deserve just because it's family. That because it's family you should expect the world! I want them to know that family is NOT just blood, family are the people in your life that lift you up and encourage you to be a better person, family inspires you to do great things! Family is a positive role model and not someone you have to chase around to be a participant in your
