It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e.e. cummings In our theme projects, we've been discussing the importance of memories. Right now, it seems you have your whole life ahead of you--plenty of time to become the person you want to be. But as Longfellow (of the Transcendentalists) said, "Art is long, and time is fleeting;" the reality is you never know what the future may bring. Think of those young men in the novel; they, too, were only "boys," with hope and a future--until their lives were cut short. So, take a minute and think now: who is it you want to become? What do you want people to remember about you after you're gone? And--if that's not the "you" of right now, what are you waiting for?

Idc about life honestly i think its just a pointless short lived thing there is no reason for life and i hate society i hate how we have to grow up to be these so called "people" i think we should be able to do what we want when we went and people should leave us alone.....but other than that i wanna do everything there is to do....ya know like sky dive river raft ride a bull hunt naked anything
The person that I want to become is Mrs. Victorria Osborn! lol I got accepted at Cox South to become a nurse there. After high school, I have to go to Springfield everday and do the nursing school...and after a year or a year and a half, I will be a registered nurse working at Cox South. I am soo soo very excited about this. I have been basically waiting my whole life for this!! When I am gone, I want people to remember me as the sweetest nurse ever, and the best nurse ever! I also want them to remember me as a woman who tried her best and hardest at everything she does!
I want to become a Role model for everyone. I want to be just like my sister! I look up to her all the time. I can be myslef and tell her everything. She is my bestfriend. I think everyone should have someone to look up to. I want every brother to look up to their sister, i want every sister look up to her brother. After i am gone, i want people to remember me as not just "the girl that was sweet and people looker up to her." I want to be known as ME helping and being creative. I think i could be that person right now, i dont need to wait.
iwould like to become a well known person i want ppl to remember me by the good person i want., and im tring to get to that point

Hmmm...the person I want to become....? I believe the person that I want to be most remembered as is just a nice, sweet, person. I want to be remembered for sure though and sweetness isn't going to get me there so I guess I want to be the the outgoing fun person who everyone wants to befriend! And I believe that I am not that person now because I care too much what other people think. I don't want anyone to hate me so I watch what I say. But I want to just take off that shield and not say things just because that is what i think others would want to hear. I want to be my own person.
To be competely honest I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I just know that I want to do something that lets me have a great and fun-filled life. I can't wait to graduate next year and head off to college. i am going to go to OTC in Springfield for my first to years, while I decide exactly what I would like to do. I want people to remember me as the person who was outgoing, always up for something, and accepted people for who they are. I can't wait to be old and look back on my life, while sitting on my front porch smoking a cigar, and think just how great it has been.
i want to become a loving wife and mother. i want to own my own buisness or maybe become a nurse. i want people to remember me as a strong woman who loved her family and did her best in everything she did. right now i have to wait to get out of high school to do any of this.
Um i want to become rich and famous. I want to be succesful also. Obviously this is not the "me" right now...because i'm still in high school. UGH. One more year though!!! After i'm gone I want people to remember that I was the coolest person alive.

Thers alot i want to do in life. too many to list. my main goal is to be a traveling doctor...hopefully with lindsey. Ive always wanted to be a doctor but ive also always wanted to do missions, so i just combined them. right now i work at those two by studying stuff to become a doctor and going on missions trips with my youth and ministering to everyone. basically it.

I want people to remember that i would do anything i could for people and had a very selfless life. I also want to let everyone know that i did my best to stick to my faith and obey its commands. I want people to refer to me when talking about kindness and also probably a little coolness, when im gone lol. I try my best to be what i know im gonna be and should be but high school is hard for people and i might act a little crazy in school but thats just for laughs because i love seeing people laugh but all in all i have my head screwed on right when it comes down to it.
I want to be remebered as a strong minded person who stood up for her beliefs. Caring and liked to help others. a Believer in God. I hope people think of me as a good person right now if not I hope to change that.
LOVE

Who I want to become is me. No one else, just me. But what I want to become in the future is a civil engineer and work in a decent sized town. What I want people to remember about me when I'm gone is that I was a strong Christan man who helped the people of that town, with what ever is needed.
I want to be the type of person that Gos wants me to be. I hope to haev a career, get married and have a family. I want to be remembered as the person who always loved to have a good time and tried her best in things i did.
I want to be known as a person who stood up for what I thought was right and worked his hardest on everything and gave it my all. As of a job I just want something so that I will be able to provide for my family. I also want to be somebody that people will look at and say I want his life because of the activities I will be doing such as trips out into the wilderness and going hiking and camping.

i know that i am already going to be a musician that is just in my mind. you should listen to the song "this is your life" by switchfoot.
I want to be the kid who is remembered for being outgoing, always laughing and being adventurous. I wnat to be a doctor. I have the talent to help people and why shouldn't I.
i want nto become someone that I can b eproud of. i know that probably sounds selfish but i was always told that only you can change yourself, and i want to be a better person for me first then for others. i want people to remember me as me and not the person that is scary and tough that they already know me as. i hate that because im my own person and just because i "look" scary doesnt mean that i am. i am just an ordinary person trying my hardest to get through school like everyone else.
I want people to remember me by the good things i have done and not the bad. I want to be remembered as the girl who tried to be nice to everyone and tried hard at everything she did, even though i don't do that all the time. I know i won't probably be famous but i wont the people i know and love to remember as a good person.

I want to be the person God wants me to be. There are so many things that I want to do, but I have to do the things GOD wants me to do. I have an idea of what those things are, but things change everyday.

I want to be the person that everyone remembers who always smiled and was always cheerful. I want to be the person that everyone can come to when they are needed advice or just a shoulder to cry on. I want to be seen as a follower of Christ and I want no one to doubt that I was. That is the kind of legacy I want to leave.
_----Brainyblone92
I want to be remembered as someone people could talk to and be able to help them. I hope people think of me as being a nice person and someone they can talk to.
well i dont exactcly know who i want to become, i just know that i want to become a great person that some people can look after for things i have done to help others or have made some kind of change in someone. im probably not the "me" right now because im still not sure about myself im. im still waiting for the time im ready.
i want to remembered for my personality and fun spirited comments i think i am on the right path. I want become a stock broker. My amazing good looks!!!! that is the me!

i just want to be someone who people remember; i want to do something so great that there are books about me. like rosa parks, who defended herself and her rights so well that people are still talking about it, like george washington who had the confidence enough to step up and do something no one had ever done before but the humiliy enough to not become a dictator. i want to be great. i want people to remember that i stood strong to my convictions and held fast to my faith. i think i'm waiting for the opportunity to present itself. maybe instead i should chase down the opportunity. hmmm...

i don't know what i want to become
~~Anze_Kopitar
after I'm gone, I'd like to be remembered as someone who made a real difference, someone who's legacy will keep on living even though I'm not (in a good way, not the Hitler way). I'm not that person right now, because too much recognition makes me a little nervous...right now I'd rather be like a ghost in the night, like a riddle that only hits you at 3 in the morning...
i want to be the person that god wants me to be. i want to live for him because if i do that then there will be no reason for having regrets. i want to be remembered about always being positive, caring, and having a smile on my face because im always happy. i want people to remember how i always try to be there for others
.......nikeboy........
Well i really have no clue what to do with my life. im thinking something along the lines of cosmontology school and then a business degree so i can own my own salon and spa. But i want to be remembered as the great person, friend, sister , and daughter i was. And not how i looked or waht I acheved. People shouldnt be remembered by what they did and what award they got. There is much more to a person than that.

I want to become a special ed teacher. I want to actually be someone special to the kids, i want to be their hero. I want to be known for everything good that i have done, not the bad.

TYLER MURPHY
I have no clue how I want people to remember me. I'm not sure what I want to become. I know I want to be an interior designer, however that is just a career. I'm not sure what I'm waiting for. I live every day to the fullest and I believe I'm not a bad person, so I think I will be remembered as a nice person.
Ive been preparing all my life through out my whole high school career to become something great and meke something of myself. To start a family and live a long life of wealth and happiness. All this preparing has almost come to the finally. And i have to compile everything to become the greatest i can.
i want to become a great person that is a good role model to everyone. im sure i will be remembered for being loud, crazy, outspoken, and outgoing. however im much more than that, but people view others differently than they may actually are. im not for sure where my life is going but ill figure it out soon. i want to be remembered i dont want to die without making an impact on other peoples lives.
*jojofosho*
It might be ruse to say this but I want to be remember as the person that didn't care what everyone thinks about her. She did her own thing and learned from her mistakes and tried again. I dont want to be rude or ignorant though, just my own person. I'm starting to become more like this everyday; as I can see that people really shouldn't influenced me as much as I've let them in these past few years.
i want to become someone who will travel the world and discover new things to be discovered. i want people to remember me by at least my name, but i just want to be remembered as even existing and caring on the family liniage of my family. im waiting for age and the right partner to achieve this.
i want to become someone that people like and someone loves and nobody regrets meeting. i want people to remember me for the funny person who was a great friend and who was there whne i was needed.

Well, I write music. And that's really all I ever wanted to do. I am naturally a happy person. I have a good balance in my life, between my family and friends, work, and school. (Minus the school part, because I have lots of homework to turn in still. :) But anyways, I want to be a virtuous woman, clean and pure, waiting for the right man to marry. Someone who can sing and write music as well. Unless he's cute, then I'll just have to teach him to sing and play guitar. The main thing I want people to remember me by, is my music and my joy in performing. I also like to write poems, stories and I'll probably write a novel soon. So, we'll see how that goes and Mrs. Snow, don't worry Ill write a book with you in it. I promise.

I want people to remember me as
I am. I definately have a while to go before I get to where I want to be, but i love me so thats that.
the person that i want to be is the only one to go to college and graduate. i want to be landscapeing architect and design some of the most eye popping landscapes that my family has ever see and i really dont mind if the world doesnt notice as long as my family does
I dont want people to forget me. I want them to always rember me as being to guy who made there day, or made them very happ, or the guy who was a great friend to have. I think what Im doing now is working. And that people are going to remember me by who I was and how I acted. So.... woo hoo for me!
lvsk8er91
I want to be remembered as the guy who was never in a bad mood, and was always willing to help anyone.
I want people to remember me as an outgoing girl. A person that someone can talk to whenever they need to. I'm a grweat friend. :)
*Lara May*
i really dont know what i want to become. I know i want to keep close to my friends and family and have fun with life. I have a few fields of interest that i have looked into but they are all very diverse. i just want to live day by day, have fun, make changes if i need to, and see where life leads me.
I love Chelsea
I already know what I want to be. A person that is respected and liked. Thats why I have enlisted into military. I know what I want and intend to follow it.
For me, I really just want to grow up and be a responsible adult and have kids and get married. I don't really want to be a stay-at-home mom, but if it comes down to it to where my kids need me then that's what i'm going to do! I really just want people to remember how good of a friend I was and how much I do for everyone. I'm waiting for my life to take a stand and for me to figure out where my place is in life!

I want to become almost more than anything else a brain surgen. I want people to remember me as a strong brillent young woman. With a good head on her soliders and headed down the right path. At the moment the only thing I'm waiting for is college so that I can become the brain surgen I'd like to be.
Hayle Holzkamper
I dont need to be somebody else. i am myself an i could really care less what people say about me but i show them respect anyway unless they dont show it to me. So i guess if i died i would basically want my family to say he was loving an one respectful kid thats abnout all i have to say about that.
I am pretty much who I want to be right now....umm I want to be nice and I don't know. Also I don't like people like Jacob Stephens. Love Kertis.
