Sister Joan Chittier Legacy

As everyone in life goes through tragic moments in life some of us have to pushed a little harder and have to straighten up in order to have successful life. At the end of the book they say a quote that I truly feel is correct “ Read these words, absorb their meanings, and create your own plan to act and leave a legacy” by Tavis

Margaret Sanger was born in Corning, New York on September 14, 1879 [3] as Margaret Louise Higgins. [1] Her father, Michael Higgins, originally studied phrenology and other medical practices, but eventually moved to being a stone cutter. Her mother, Anne Higgins, was born in Ireland, and her family moved to Canada during the Potato Famine. In 1869 Michael married Anne and she went through 18 pregnancies, only 11 of which lived. [3] Margaret was the sixth child in this long line and spent her time doing chores and looking after the younger children. Her older two older sisters supported her when she started attending school at Claverack College and Hudson River Institute. [2] When her mother was 50 years old, she passed away and Margaret blamed her mother 's frequent childbearing and poverty for her death.

Later in 1913, Margaret and William filed for divorce but it wasn’t finalized until 1921. [13] She went on to marry Noah Slee in 1922.

“Before you judge my life, my past or my character… Walk in my shoes, walk the path I have traveled, live my sorrow, my doubts, my fears, my pain and my laughter. Remember, everyone has a story. When you’ve lived my life then you can judge me.”

At some point in each of our lives we will take a step back and look at the way we are living our lives and wonder if we are living them correctly. This is exactly what annie dilliard does in this essay.

Throughout the work, Poe employs a seemingly simple ebony clock to symbolize the destined time of life, which no one can control. The clock is first introduced by describing the pendulum’s “dull, heavy, monotonous clang”, which automatically gives the idea that the clock is oppressive and evokes fear in both the readers and guests (Poe). As the story goes on, the characteristics of the clock unfold even more and reveal the emotions and actions it suggests. For instance, the clock’s “chiming imposes a start-stop movement on the festive

In old age many of the dying reflect on their choices, choosing to take solace in their

I travel through the years and discuss how she has contributed to my growth and development as a person. My recounting ranges from our inside jokes to the loss I felt when she went off to college. My goal in the writing of this essay was to draw attention to the role models in life that are often overlooked due to their age. In this essay, I touch on this concept often by returning to the fact that Lauren and I grew

The theme of this novella is to look at the good you do in life and how it carries over after your death. The moral of the book is; "People can make changes in their lives whenever they really want to, even right up to the end."

Line 12 says “We passed the setting sun.” While literally a sunset means the end of a day, it figuratively represents the end of the main character’s

As the years come along one after another people have come in and out of my life, but at the end of the day it all comes down to what I did?, what will I do?, and what can I do? Sometimes you will ask yourself if what you do is even valuable and sometimes it might seem like it doesn’t, but truly deep down it is and will always be. Throughout this journey, I have faced many obstacles and will still need to face many more as the years come. However, one thing I won’t regret is making

Like the season of Fall, the twilight of a day is a metaphor for the passing of time. Each new day can be seen as a life itself. Each morning and afternoon -- when the day is young -- is a life full of possibilities and opportunities. Then twilight approaches, and the day is done, only to be followed by sleep -- or as Shakespeare calls it, "Death's second self".

The individual will have given a meaning to their life and will be able to share their experiences, offering a kind of mentorship to younger generations.

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.

There’s a lot we can learn from the stories of our past – if we tell them in such way that enables us to hear what they really have to say. This holds true with me and my life. To put it simply, the life I’ve lived up to this point has been nothing short of a beautiful (and bumpy) roller coaster ride! As I have grown up there have been many factors that have influenced me to take on or do certain things. These things, plus some of my individual choices, have contributed into what’s made me who I am today. And with that, I’m happy to say for this moment in time, I’m satisfied with the person I am and the path I’m taking.

As I take a look back on my life, I realize how great it has truly been. I had an absolutely amazing childhood and I am beyond blessed for it. I grew up in a home with two loving parents that have been with me through it all and now of days that is something to be truly thankful for. My parents taught me to strive to be anything that I wanted and that I could be anything that I set my mind to. These dreams changed throughout my life as I grew older and as I grew into the person that I am today.
