The legacy that I would like to leave on earth is racial equality. I chose this because it has been unequal around some parts of the world, and I just want it to stop. I want everyone to be able to hold a place in where they are right now without having to suffer or fear the authorities. I want the people from Mexico and other countries to be able to walk in the U.S without having to fear being deported. I want all of this to change, but there has not yet been action.
I plan on leaving my legacy on earth by affecting the people around me. If I am able to affect the others around me to strike and change this affair, then my legacy would stay. In order to maintain this legacy I will have a group of people helping me and supporting the things I do. I would put it on t.v, social media etc. I could also take it back a little and even print on newspaper.
I would leave it at that knowing that I am not the political, but I do want justice. I believe in justice and equality, but others don’t. I also plan on overriding the president with people who want equality just as much as I do.

I think, to make a difference in this world is for everyone to make a difference. But for now, for me I think that a positive way that makes a positive impact is to donate. I think I would start at donating to the homeless people. Ever since I was a little girl I would always see people, families, being ignored by people who walk by or drive by. When I was in middle school I always had this one idea. Me and whoever wants to join, we all get a van full of food. But, not food for us food we give to the homeless people for free!
Another idea I have is to clean. Clean as in clean public parks etc. I would love to clean beaches. Dirty beaches can be harmful to us humans and to the animals that live in or by the ocean. For example, people can walk or run over trash, especially broken glass. For sea creatures, they can get their necks stuck in those plastic things that hold drinks/beers. Many animals have choked and died that way.
There can be many ways to make a positive impact on this world. Anyone can come up with an idea, but only if they’re truly inspired. The things I claimed are just a thought. But the thought of my idea with the van, and giving homeless people free food is something I am inspired to do

Prompt: We all should have a desire to leave a positive mark on this world. A mark that shares the positive impact and contributions that we make on society. What legacy would you like to leave on the earth? How do you plan to leave it? What are some things that you plan to do to ensure that this legacy is respected and remains?
The world has had many great people. Think about it the only way you would know about them was because of the great legacy that they have left behind. Just like those people I want to leave a great legacy behind too. I want to leave a legacy that my grandchildren could think back and say that he was a great man. I want a legacy that when I die thousands of people would show up to my wake. I could make this happen by using my life and finding the best way to use it.
I plan on leaving my legacy by playing basketball and becoming one of the best in history. I know it sounds like a big goal but I have a plan. I need to make the grades while I’m in high school and I also need to practice on my skills. This game doesn’t come easy so I need to focus on everything I need do. When I get to the hype and fame that I worked for I will help my family and community in the best way I can.
I will make sure my legacy will stay because I will work as hard as I need to make it into the hall of fame. I will also make a sure that I will be known for make a difference in the world. I want the world to know that I am a person that will be a game changer. Weather it is in basketball or in something else like volunteering. I need to the best I can because I have a legacy that I have to fulfil.

I believe that we should all try to leave a positive mark on the world. Although I won’t have as much of an impact on the world like Messi or Ronaldo, I would like to be one of the best female soccer players in the world. I’m not going to have it as easy as Messi or Ronaldo because very few people in the world view women’s soccer. I will probably have to do something else to catch the public’s eye permanently.
When I say, “something to catch the public’s eyes permanently” I don’t mean by joining the porn industry or anything of that sort. I plan to leave my legacy in this order. I would have to first join a well-respected team, preferably the Women’s National Team. I can’t be on the team and not have any playing time because nobody will ever notice me, so I would have to prove to the coaches that I need playing time, even if it is for a mere five minutes. To catch the public’s eye permanently I will have to do charitable work, but it can’t just be a small donation. I would have to do the actual labor of building a new school for children that don’t have access to free education.
To assure that my legacy remains and is respected I will have to consistent with the charitable work. If none of this works out I can just be a well-respected stockbroker. I can donate some money to some poor kids and people will probably find out about my acts of kindness through Instagram and they will think that I’m some god because of what they saw on the internet.

If I leave a legacy, I would like to leave a mechanic shop. I always wanted to be a mechanic because I think cars can be cool. This “legacy” of mine will be affordable to everyone. This place will also be the best in the state. I hope that dream of mine becomes reality one day and will leave a mark on earth or at least to some.
I plan on leaving it by working as a mechanic. When I finally plan out my life and after I go through my mid-life crisis then can I get this place. As any business, it will start out small and soon become a thing greater than itself. I do not want it to be great just because of the service but for the people that will be there too. My uncle never got a place of his own so I want to start this during his life time.
To ensure that this legacy is respected I must be respectful. I believe in the phrase “you get what you give”, so I hope that works. To ensure that this place remains, I’ll need to surround this place and myself with well trusted people, or have a kid (I think I have seen it in a movie before.) With those two things together, I think that it will be a great foundation for this legacy. As time goes on these might change, as The Constitution has, but that is for later not now.

I would like to leave a good positive legacy that could leave people wondering how he did it or how amazing and incredible stuff he did to give us all this and to leave us a remind that anything you want to do or will like to choose you can do it and to never give up on the things you want to accomplish So I would leave a legacy where my family would admire the hard work I did for them and would leave a good positive attitude that they would feel and to know that it could be accomplish.
I would plan to leave this legacy by working hard every day and to never give up on something I could accomplish and to do everything for my family and not be in no wrong path always give 100% never thing twice always be positive that it would be. Never go back on the wrong things stay positive don’t get into to trouble and make sure that everyone has what it needs to be a good person .
The things that my family and I would do for my legacy to be respected and to be remain is to work hard for people to know what I did and never listen to envy people because it could bring negative effect and everyone would think twice on what we do to keep the legacy going . the legacy could be that I could own a amusement park . and that would stay there for some time because people would like to be there and would be cheap for people that can’t pay and would stay there enough that everyone would start knowing about it.

I will make a difference or a positive impact by becoming a Police Officer and bringing justice to the world. I want to be a Police Officer because I want to help other people with things they are dealing with in the time they have the problem. By helping people they will want to also help positive to the world and will also want to help others. They will want to be humble, kind, grateful, positive, and empathetic to others. When I spread positivity, people with treat others equally no matter what kind of country, religion, or race they are. When I am a Police Officer I will do everything in my power to protect people from bad.
I also want to help animals that are in danger. The way people treat the Earth has a very big impact on the animals of the world. People should stop wasting and taking advantage of what nature gives to us to, using fewer resources, such as paper, water, and energy. Helping the animals of this world is something that I will leave to the earth positively. I will help pick up trash at the beaches because the fishes are the most threatened animals on the planet. Recycling is another way I can help the world and make a positive impact.
I am going to help the people in Africa. People in Africa need resources like water, food, clothing and shelter. Things that the US has that are not sharing with others, and sharing is caring. Instead we have people like us who gather up supplies and take it back to Africa to help out. There is also projects like The Water project an organization that provide safe, clean water to all people worldwide. I will join The Water Project to leave a positive mark to the world and to also help others

I plan to leave a good legacy on earth. I want my legacy to be remembered as something that helped change the world for something better. The legacy that I leave must be continued on by people who want to do the line of work that is involved with the legacy.
I plan to leave this legacy on earth by helping in the community and doing what I can to help. I want to do the things that help the people in need. I want to help everyone around the world, and I want to do the jobs that need more people to do them.
I plan to make the legacy known for what it does and how it will help people around the world. I want to make sure that people know that the legacy I leave behind is one they can trust. I want my legacy to be one of the many known legacies that people respect.

I want my positive impact to be known internationally. My family wants me to move forward and to work hard to accomplish my biggest goal. I want to be a software developer to show people how I was able to reach my goal through hard work and lots of dedication. I want to set an example to everyone so that they can be inspired in some way. I will show everyone what someone can do with lots of effort.
I will create this legacy for others to preach and acknowledge. My family will also pass down my legacy and continuously enforce it. I need to be successful so that people can take it seriously and for it to expand across the world.

the legacy I would you like to leave on earth is to make parks and shelters. basically, making a better environment for kids and the homeless. why? because in some areas people don't got the luxury to go to the park and hoop with friends, also some homeless people have no shelter to sleep at in at night. another thing ill like to do is help the schools in the areas that don't got much money to clubs like sports, bands etc. last impact I would do is to make small businesses in areas for some good affordable food people can get.
How do I plan to leave it? I’m going to make sure to leave it by making sure the youth listens and stuff and just by making environmental rules. Some things I will do to makes sure this rule stays respected in remains is to make the laws. And if you disobey them you will get punished
In conclusion the impact and legacy I will want to make on this earth is very important not just for me but the environment like school homeless in parks we need to make a bigger deal in life for the homeless and give them a second chance at life and give kids park and better schools that’s the legacy I want to make.

I know and understand that I am barely a teenager, but the day will come soon. with that said ,I don't want to simply be another person walking the earth I live in. I want to contribute and make a positive impact in society; I want my name to be to live on even after I am no longer part of this world . Growing up I have not been a fan of school, in fact I have always said that I dislike school and even compared it to a prison. I know that I am not the only one who thinks this way, but also understand how important school is. I believe that everyone should go to school and get an education but that not everyone should be pressured into getting a college degree. My sister is currently going to university and I always see her studying and surrounded by books, there is nothing wrong with that but that's not for me, I like using my hands and trying to create or fix new things and I believe that I can use my passion for learning new arts as an inspiration and motivation for others.
