Homework Answer on Personal Legacy
Introduction
In regards to my future life, I have a clear picture of who I want to be. I will be a successful entrepreneur, who will help better lives of people who are suffering owing to poverty. I feel challenged on the sight of suffering people, especially in places like Africa where poverty levels are alarmingly high. For this reason, I wish to be a champion for life betterment and exposure of the poor to opportunities that will help them improve their livelihoods. A life without financial stability is challenging and results in a major crisis in bringing up children.
I believe lives can be greatly improved through ensuring financial security and improved economies throughout the world. Places that lack good economic levels are prone to poor development even in the future, owing to the lack of a motivated generation, one focused on transforming their areas. I believe that America is great owing to the effort and work put in by our forefathers in creating a robust economy. It therefore makes it the land of opportunities, as it exposes its citizens to a life where one can easily succeed and lead an honorable life.
Current Legacy
Currently, I am a writer, as well as an entrepreneur in the making. Though I have not yet created a functioning business entity, I believe am on the path to doing so, precisely soon. I am already living the legacy of an entrepreneur. I understood what I want to be in future, and people already respect me for that, seeing me as a different person, and not just living life. I want to achieve great things in life, working to ensure the improvement of lives, through the eradication of poverty.
