When my time on earth comes to an end, I want to be remembered as a woman who lived, loved and was loved. In the end no one will say, "Wow she was really rich! Do you know how much money she had?!" I hope instead they will say, "Wow she was really rich! Do you know how much she loved and was loved?"
Assuming my life is long and healthy I hope to be a wonderful wife, a great mother, grandmother and maybe great-grandmother (should we dare say great-great??). I hope I have been and will be a great daughter and an awesome sister.
I hope to make a difference in the lives of those I meet. I may never know this and that is ok. But I hope that I have been able to faithfully use my talents and gifts from God to help others to know and love Him, and to learn more about themselves.
Above all, I hope that who I am is a happy woman with a great husband, an amazing family and great friends! For now I am a happy woman, with a great fiancé, an amazing family and great friends. Only 290 days till mission complete!
I envy the fact that you have at least figured out what it is that you want in your life. I used to think that I had my life figured out and then everything turned around on me one day now I don't know anything. Sometimes I randomly wake up and think how is it possible that I reached this age? What have I been doing for the past few years? I remember clearly turning 18 and recognizing that my life was on track. The next couple of years were a blur and then tragedy struck and I feel like the last couple of years are a black hole in my memory and I seem to have been operating on auto pilot. I often wonder who I am as a person and how I relate to other people but I no longer seem to have any idea on this.
