"put this on my gravestone"

Though his standards were low
He was not below
I don’t want my epitaph to warp my true nature. I believe that epitaphs should reflect the person and not the person's one-time-only achievements. This epitaph I thought of reflects my personality and the way I live my life. My high school is crammed with a bunch of students who have high standards for themselves. The only thing they seem to be concerned with is standing out, having the best grades, and hold some sort of "leader" position all for the sake of getting a better chance of getting into their dream college. My low standards and "colorful" grades is a rejection towards this fever for ascension. But even with my low standards, I obtained a role in my school despite not having the best grades or the best personality. Though this epitaph might sound boring it reflects my ideal and me as a person very well.

By the way, this whole blog is graded and the word limit for this specific passage is 150 to 400 for this section. As you can see it’s barely over 150. Hehehe….

Legacy (Family Members)

If I were to pass away tomorrow, my parents would probably be very upset--especially my mom. My parents would probably remember me as someone who had potential but never truly used it. My mom would always tell me that I can do things if I wanted too. My dad would probably think similarly as I am supposed to be his first child to go to college. My brother would probably be in disbelief. My brother is very similar to me when it comes to viewing other people. He would remember me as a nagging older brother who always tries to force him into strange hobbies and interests. My grandma would be in despair. Out of all of my relatives outside my immediate family members, my grandma is the closest one to me. She would remember me as an adorable grandson who would draw a bunch of pictures for her. My cousins will probably be very depressed. Especially my younger cousins. They really liked it when I would play with them.

Cool Epitaphs

-Ben Jonson: O rare Ben Jonson I did some light research on the “O rare” part. It seems that no one is sure what it means. I find this epitaph interesting because it is a quote that can mean many things. Apparently, Ben Jonson wrote a play and “O rare” was in it. Or this epitaph can simply mean that Jonson was an excellent playwright. -Martin Luther King Jr.: Free at Last, Free at Last Thank God Almighty I am Free at Last This epitaph is straight out of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech. This epitaph pretty much sums up what he was dedicated to during his whole life. It brings hope. Just like the man himself.

Legacy (Best Friend)

If I were to pass away, I don’t know what exactly what my friends would call me. However, I know that many think of me as a goofball. That is the character I made for myself in high school. But I don’t know what they precisely think of me. Right now, my best friend has to be “J”. We play the same games together and have spent a lot of time with each other since junior year. “J” would probably say that I was a very hyper person and probably a little annoying.
