Personal Narrative: My Legacy

Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running

My legacy began when my family taught me to read. My mom and grandma took turns teaching me different letters and sounds out of an early reader. By the time I reached kindergarten, I read well enough to strengthen my skills on my own. My favorite author from kindergarten was Eric Carle. I brought home Brown Bear Brown Bear so many times that my mother told me I was not allowed to read it again.

Many people have left legacies from when they were alive. Some are good, and some are bad. Those people may not agree with what they have left behind, and some may be perfectly okay with theirs. For me, I would like to leave behind a legacy that shows my family that I was a good person. I would want them to know that I had good intentions for my life and that I wanted to do good for myself and others. In this essay, I will explain what I would like my legacy to be like.

There was very many trials and events during this time, so much so I could write a book so this is really only the tip of the tip of the iceburg.

My legacy will be remembered as a good student, but not the greatest behavior at Eisenhower Middle School. Most of my legacy will be remembered with the teachers I always had a good connection or rapport with. The teachers always liked me because I did my work and payed attention most of the time. It will also will be with the students I left behind a good path with the teachers for the students. The life that I touched the most would be Mrs. Codispoti, my favorite teacher last year and we made a big impact on each other's life. She would always come over and help me individual. She would come over to me when she had better things to do. She would stay after school to help

The lives I would touch for my legacy would be my family and friends because those are the people that care about me and what I do. That they would help me out with anything I need. My major accomplishment would be a pro soccer player and go to Rutgers College. The other accomplishment in my life would be to get very good grades in school to get a good education.

When I think of the word legacy I think of how I will be remember and what I will leave behind for generations to come. I think of people like Martin Luther King Jr and Gandhi, whose impact changes the lives of many and the world as it was known during that time. I don’t think that my impact will be received on such a big scale like Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, and many other but hopefully I will be able to touch the people who were close to me during my lifetime.

What success means to me is how much thing have you succeed in the your time. Since, I am only in 8th grade and probably have a big life ahead of me, so failing this is not an option. A lot of things I succeeded in are small things like catching a Snorlax in Pokemon Go, but some big things are getting a 98% in Social Studies. That is what success means to me, but a lot of things that I succeeded in were because they were important things to me such as school work, video games, my friends and family, and my religion. All of those things are important to me since they hold value to me because they are all important to me, and are major things in my life. For example, since I go to church almost every week it holds value to me. Also, when I am not doing homework, studying, doing activities, or running errands with my mom or dad, and I am either playing video games for fun or making them for my YouTube channel. Obviously, I want to be remembered for valuing, and being successful with the things listed

My Identity connects to my culture because it describes the way I look and the point of view I have on certain topics. My culture is the Native American tribe, Wampanoag and I am also Mexican. I have some facial features and body structures from both sides of the family like: most of my family has brown or black hair, we are taller than the average human, and our faces have an oval shape. Some topics that my family has taught me from both sides of the family is, family always sticks together and always comes first, and If you see bad things going on in the world, always try to help and do whats right. From my Dad’s side of the family, I learned tons about survival skills and on my Mom’s side I learned a lot about traditions. An example from

I was wandering in the mall recently , aimlessly as some of us do, basically waisting time. In my travels I came across a kiosk that sold various cellphones, chargers, and other accessories. The young man behind the counter asked if I needed any help, I answered as most of us do with a "no, I'm just looking."

One aspect about myself, that goes unnoticed in my life is my determination. Determination has been a trait of mine for the majority of my life. Both my mother and father are very determined people. Having them as my role models growing up, I always wanted to one day be like them. I personally believe this is where my determination aspect came from. I don’t think that I was born with it, but rather developed it because of the people I was surrounded by in my life.

It was a warm sunny day in May, and it was almost the end of the school year. Bus 1995 was full of annoying and yelling kids.

Influences, they come from many sources; people, television, places near and far from our homes. For me however, my influences are in games, one game in particular. A game, whose community is so small and minute, that even its creator has moved on to other aspects of life. This game doesn't even originate in my own country, and most of the people in this fanbase don't either. In fact they are mostly spread across Europe with at least one member in South America. Because of that I can only speak in one of the many languages we have among us. Thankfully, English is what we speak most commonly, and that this majorly influential game of my childhood, has an option for.

As I wake up to screaming and banging noises just past 4:30 a.m., I was quickly reminded that it was physical fitness day at Basic Leadership Camp. Barely being able to wipe the crust out of my eyes, I jump out of bed, put on my shoes, and ran outside to my platoon. Shortly after, I began to run what would soon be the hardest mile to run of my life. As I am running with sweat dripping down my spine, I see the brightest red line that seemed so far but was only seconds away. I then closed my eyes as tight as a vice. Within seconds I felt an amazing rush of relief. I crossed the line that determined not only the mile I just finished running, but also the hard work and time I put in to get to that moment. I crossed the
