What is my sentence? The sentence that describes me. I going to be honest here, I have absolutely no idea. I'm 15 years old and I don't even know what I want to have for lunch today, how should I know what I want to do with my life? My whole life, and I have to decide what I'll do with it when I'm a teenager? No, thank you. I may have an idea about how I want to make my mark on this world, or what kind of person I am right now, but I don't really know what my future will hold.

If I had to choose how I wanted to be remembered, I would choose to be remembered by my actions throughout my life. I think that my sentence would be "I am striving to be better than I have ever been". One could say something about how my sentence is a little bit vague, or how its too simple, but I am a simple person. My sentence represents my desire to be a good person. I don't necessarily have a desire to change the world or something as clichéd as that. Now, don't get me wrong, changing the world would be awesome and I would love to do so, but I don't see myself doing that. I know who I am, so I would like to do something that makes me happy, but I would also like to help others along the way. Helping others is something that I have done for as long as I can remember. Not that I am entirely selfless, but I have always found myself caring about other people's problems. I am an empathetic person, so to be remembered as someone who can be relied upon would make me very happy. I would like to help the world in a small way because after all, I've never really liked being dramatic.

I would like to be better than I have ever been because I live by the philosophy that if you do good, good will come back to you. So if I better myself as a person, I could find happiness by being surrounded by good. So if I decide to help out a stranger, I may gain a friend.

So, in all I have simple prospects for my life, and I would just like to live a life fulfilling to me; a life that doesn't necessarily need to be extraordinary.
