Diagnostic Essay.
After I am dead, I want to be remembered for being a woman who positively changed the lives of the people around me.
I have always enjoyed listening to stories and reading about people who gave up all they could to change the lives of people in their home countries and even in other countries. I especially love reading about Mother Teresa and all the charitable work that she did. Even after her death, she is still remembered for all that she did and the lives she touched with her work. Her story really inspires me and makes me strive to be the kind of person who will be remembered for positively influencing and changing the lives of other people.
I may not be doing as much
Since I was a kid, I had a ton of responsibilities, cleaning up after myself, doing chores, managing to not fight with my brother, although we fought all day everyday, but you know, it happens. One thing that I didn't know wasn't normal was parenting your parent. I go to school do all my class work and during recess and lunch I listened to all the other kids talk about going to the park after school and eating dinner together with their parents. When I got home from school, I had to do my homework and then take care of my mother. Bring her things she needed such as food, water, help her with many other simple everyday activities. Of course I wasn't the only one who was her “little helper” as she put it, my dad helped her and my older brother by two years,
My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 40, when I was in preschool. With very few memories prior to her diagnosis, living with MS was quite simply a fact of life. A single parent who was singularly dedicated to her three daughters, my mother trudged unwaveringly through all the symptoms, complications, and limitations her disease inflicted on her. For the most part she suffered in silence, her disease progression so slow and gradual that it was nearly imperceptible to us. She was our family’s rock, her faith in God strengthening her resolve to give us as normal a childhood as possible considering the situation. A sudden escalation of her symptoms when I was eleven altered our lives. Over the course of two months she lost
Elie Wiesel experienced an unfortunate experience that changed his life, and he used it to change the lives of others. He brutally went through the holocaust, and his life was never the same. He went through so much at a young age, and lived to tell the tale.
Annie Wittenmyer has impacted my life greatly. I really like to help people too. I stick up for kids that get made fun of at school, and even though that’s not the civil war, it may like a war for them. For them, someone making a mean comment to him or her, is like a bullet going through a soldier. I stick up for them though, and hang out with them too. I also am currently working on making a donation towards kids with cleft lip/cleft palate. It’s going slowly, but surely. I can only thank Annie Wittenmyer for that. She inspired me to help others who needed
Jane Addams. She lived with the individuals that she wanted to help and she did not pass judgement. She went to back for what she believed in and fought for the right of many people. She was also a Nobel Prize Winner which speaks volume for her many accomplishments. Along with other great women, they dedicated their life and time to improve the living conditions of many people and to provide education. Child labor was very big in Jane Addams era and she worked hard to eliminate child labor. Her work played a very important part in helping women to grow into careers such as nursing, social work, and civil
I would like to be remembered as a person that never cared about what other people thought or the things I like and I would like to be remembered as a loving caring person that would give anything to help other people. hopefully I would become a veterinarian that cared so much about animals
All of the saints lived virtuous lives and have inspired others with their stories. One saint's story that really stood out to me was, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton helped so many girls and some boys get an education. She also helped the Sisters of Charity stay loyal to God. Not only did she help the sisters and kids, but she trusted in God through every hardship and problem she faced, no matter how small. St. Elizabeth is important to me because I want to live my life the way she lived hers: never losing faith in God, but also helping as many people in the world as I can.
Which, in my case the one who has influenced me the most into becoming a significant person would be my grandmother. She doesn’t let her sickness get in the way of helping others and telling me to never give up on my education. She would always say “work hard on anything that you believe in so even when times are tough.” My grandma is always there if needed either by helping in a way to get things done or by keeping people company. She’s full with an outstanding spirit, never asks for anything in return after getting the stuff done. It comes to show that her actions speak louder than words could ever do, By hearing all of the good things she does for people makes me want to become a better person. Therefore, I want to be able to assist people with a wide range of situations that they are facing
Even though she had a tough childhood , deep inside she was still a good person and remained humble and cared about others. That is something that inspired me because other people would easily give up and turn into a bad person due to all the chaos in their
I wish to give to others all the knowledge I have attained from my past experiences to help mold the future destinies of my peers and descendants. Being remembered as an advocate who had strong, forceful opinions on multifarious topics is extremely important to me and I hope that my legacy encourages others to follow their dreams even if a person of influence is pressuring them not to. My goal in life is to live day by day and to always rely on my wisdom and heart to make the right choices in order to better my future as well as others.
My person is Eleanor Roosevelt and she was a woman that defeated many problems in her life. Eleanor had a rough time growing up. Now look at her lengthy legacy, she left behind for us to study and research. She will never be forgotten and let me tell you why. She was a shy little girl but became one of our historical first ladies.
My greatest and by far most kind, loving, empathetic, and influential hero is my loving Father, Randy Day. The reason I think of him in such a way is because he teaches some of the most valuable morals and life lessons to not only myself but to others by setting an example. Every day he goes around doing the best he possibly can while teaching others to do the same. It is because of his teachings that I am the person that I am today. I interviewed and i asked my hero of how he inspires and over all influences others and he stated that he taught through example and by showing his values and morals in life.
Its sad to know how our nation does not know how important and brave some people were in our world. There was one person in particular that caught my eye and this was Susan B. Anthony. If you don’t know who she is then you don’t know how women got their rights to vote. She is a brave, strong, helpful, kind and courageous women that changed our world. If it wasn’t for her who knows how our world could have ended up.
Simone Veil is a leader in Europe that few outside of France have heard of. After graduating high school, she and her family were deported from France for being Jewish. After a stay in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, she and her sister were liberated by the Allies. She believed the only reason she survived was because of the generosity and selflessness of the women in the camps. Because of this, she decided to give back by making life better of women in Europe. She fought to make life better for women in the same country that had abandoned her, and this leaves me in awe.
There are many heroes everywhere in your country, city, or state. You see them everyday. But, everybody has their own hero(s) that did something very gladly appreciated for them or even for the whole world. My hero is Eleanor Roosevelt because she always tried to help everyone she can. She did everything in the right manner.
