In this blog, I am going to talk about how my topic is relevant for common place and my common place paper. Yes, legacy can be traced extremely far back in human history, but it is also very prevalent in today’s society. Everyone is searching for their legacy, for their way to be remembered after they pass away. Some people aspire to find the next breakthrough in cancer treatment, or for some it is an even greater goal, like the cure to cancer. Others are not quite into the science scene and would rather see themselves becoming the next elected president of the United States. Still, others just want to help people and would rather see themselves find a way to end world hunger. Some people may not think they are searching for a legacy to leave behind yet they still find it. In either case, people search for it their entire life; most people only find a way to live on through their children. In a lot of ways, people see children as their one way to meeting the goal of immortality. It is why many want a baby boy, so their last name will continue to be used a passed on through the generations. College students are full of optimism and goals they are looking to achieve. They can either be giant goals, like becoming the next president, or small goals, like following their parents in joining the same fraternity or sorority. Either way, they have either consciously or subconsciously started on their way to creating and finishing their own legacy.
