What do I want to be remembered for?
What do I want to be remembered for? This question should be easy to answer. For me, it wasn't. I've been thinking about it, and I'm still not sure. I want my mom to say that I was a loving and caring daughter and that she was proud of me. I want my husband to say that I was his partner, that I made him want to be a better man. I want my little sister to say that she loved me and that I was a role model to her. But what do I want the world to remember me for? I want and try to be a good person. I want to help people, but that's not enough. I guess I thought that since I wasn't famous, it didn't matter. The world wouldn't remember me anyway. Beyond what I want to be remembered for, how do you go about doing that? I'm 22, I don't think about dying very much. I'm just living life and trying to be happy. Being a leader is a 24/7 job. You must lead in every aspect of your life. I hadn't thought about that. This question has got me thinking about the future and how to better myself, but isn't that what a leader does?

I really like they way you talked about all the things you want to be remembered for and how you can become a better leader. I don't think you have to be famous to be remembered, if you make a difference in anyone’s life, you can change the world. I believe it is more about what you left and who you changed rather than what you changed. Someone is always going to remember you, whether it be friends, family, and a stranger, there is always someone who is going to have your memory in their head. Don't ever think you won’t be remembered because you will. I feel like in this blog, you have to show more attributes about being positive and confident in yourself. I am sure you are very confident, but in this post especially, I just feel like you have to give yourself more credit than you are. I think you will be remembered if you want to be.
