My Life After High School

At the last day of 8th grade your teachers, friends, and family all congratulate you for finishing this school year. You have finished the year with good grades and maybe made new friends, just like every other kid in the school. Is this how you want to be remembered, by being like everyone else? A legacy is how you will be remembered by for what you did in your life. The legacy you leave will leave a huge impact to your life and to others. At the end of 8th grade, I want to remembered for thinking outside the box, the person who was willing to go above the beyond. If I were to leave a great legacy, I will have definitely improved my grades in all of my classes. My family would think of me as a person who wants fix every mistake I have made outside and inside of school. In fact, I would also help my classmates so they won’t make any of the mistakes I have made. I would be recognized by my determination and focus. Also for my confidence and my athletic ability. I hope my abilities would help me improve my mistakes and will leave a good reputation.
If you don’t set goals and learn from your mistakes, you won’t achieve anything. What goals will I set in my life? A major goal of mine is to learn as much as I can in school so in the future I will be a smart and brilliant person. For instance, I will try to ask questions, study every test a week before it starts and try to answer problems even if they are wrong. I also spend a lot of time running in track and field. When I race myself, I usually like to time myself so I can improve from my previous score. If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects
