Writing Challenge: Legacy
The
Z Footprint
As I grow and think about the future, do
you often think about what you will be leaving behind? I don’t mean a house or money;
I mean the legacy of accomplishments. As a digital native, most of my time is
spent on a computer and a lot of time playing games. I see our world
transported to virtual reality, but how much is this worth? What does it all
mean? And will I have anything to leave behind? It’s morning and a school day,
I struggle to wake up and get out of bed, it only felt like a minute ago I was
playing with my friends on the PlayStation, now I must log on to my laptop to
see what assignments I have. It’s like I am living the existence of a computer
science lesson, a network of electronic messages and files. One thing that is
missing is human interaction. Approaching lunchtime is when I really wake up
and get to eat some food, and then I escape watching TV or YouTube. I think
about being an influencer or a blogger. My
aim is to aspire people when I am an adult, more than just media fame or being a
celebrity. I want to help people and provide support, maybe leaving a lasting
mark on people’s lives. It’s the value of each other that’s important, more than
likes and followers. Suddenly, I come back to reality and realise again that I
must not get distracted on my mobile phone and get on with my school work or I
will miss my hand-in deadline.
