I have walked a path and have built a life. Now I shall continue on beyond myself. I choose to give to another the benefit of that which I had to work for. I shall offer a path to enlightenment and higher learning that one less fortunate than I should go beyond me. Though some seek a legacy of accomplishment and adoration, I choose another path. I shall leave behind another person better off than I am, that they may carry on working to improve the world that they shall inherit. Through opportunity and wisdom, they shall realize dreams that I could never dared to have and through my contribution and sacrifices before them, this person shall be my legacy to the world I leave behind.
