Obituary Assignment

I was recently given an assignment to write my own Obituary. In this assignment you were suppose to look into your future, your life interests and goals, your obituary should show your accomplishments up until your death. Now when I first heard about this assignment I thought to myself "I am not going to write about myself dying, nor do I even want to think about it," but I put all the opposition on the back burner and did the assignment. And I'm glad I did this assignment taught me that if I want to acheive all the goals that I stated in my obituary that I would have to work, and work hard, and not give up no matter what. It showed me that even though you live your life for yourself, you ultimately live it for others, meaning that to be remembered you need to leave behind a legacy, by helping others, besides yourself. This assignment was definately a learning experience.
