What impact are you hoping to leave on the world? Will you do something big and flashy that "changes everything" or are you going to make subtle differences by doing small but great things along the way? Do you even feel as if it is your duty, as well as everyone else's, to make an impact on the world or is this a job that a select, especially gifted few should be charged with?

    I think that everyone has a talent to offer. Whether it is the gift of languages, music, or simply compassion for others, everyone has something to offer to mankind. The impact I am hoping to leave the world is something positive. It does not have to be flashy, or even recognized. If I am known as a kind, intelligent, considerate person, that will be enough for me. A reputation is the legacy you will leave in this world no matter what. I do not know if it is my duty to change the world drastically, since I am a believer in the intervention of fate. All I know is that I should try my best no matter what, and leave the rest to destiny. I do not believe that leaving an impression on the world is only for those who are talented enough, but everyone is given a chance to do something to change the world, even in subtle ways.

    I hope to leave at least one impact on the world. They say that everyone has something to offer, surely that includes me too? The impact I leave on the world doesn't have to be big,or even hardly anything at all. I just hope that whatever impact I leave, it will make someone proud to have known me. I feel that it is everyone's duty, as well as my own, to make an impact on the world, no matter how small it may be because many small contributions can make a large difference.

    I believe that everyone has a bigger impresstion on the world than they think. Either through sports, music, your career or even just setting an example, or giving a complement in class, because that will make someones day better and they will want to do the same to someone else and so on. It is not possible, in my oppinion to not leave an impression but it is our job in life to leave the best you can. Like I said in class; leave a legacy because thats what you are remembered by.

    My opinion is that everybody has an impact on the world by using their talents. When I say talents I mean anything a person is good at. It could be sports, music, art, cooking, designing, building, acting/theater, singing, thinking/planning, and soooo... many more. Sometimes people use their talents to do bad things instead of good, like if their good at art they can put graffiti on walls wich is usually illegal, or someone who is good at theater can dress up and act well as an imposter, or someone who is great at thinking/planning and is a guiness could plot a burglary, but I hope all of this is usually the opposite way around. Some examples would be the person great at art could create a famous painting like the Monolisa, or a person doing acting can become famous acters/actresesses and have huge impact on the world, or a guiness can cure cancer, save people with their intellegence and a ton more. See how you can make a good impact on the world instead of a bad one. Well, I want to make a good impact on the world, because if everbody used their talents to do good things in the world it would definitely be a better place.That is why I want to be a zooligist and start a foundation to help endangered animals not become extinct. It might not seem so important to some people, but it will be very important to me.

    I am hoping to leave an impact on the world in small ways or big. I believe in alot of small, good deeds that people can remember you by. Such as helping a stranger in need, or helping out a friend. You can also pursue your dreams, and others look up at you as a role model and inspiration. Also when you accomplish a goal that means alot, you can leave a legacy. If you believe and work hard for what you want and belive in, you leave behind what others strive for their whole lives, and I believe that is a huge impact.

    No matter who you are, what you look like, and what you believe in, everyone has a talent to give to the world. To spread their "wings" out, and bless the world with what they can offer. The impact I wish to offer the world doesn't have to be something big, or one that everyone notices. Simple acts of kindness, such as picking up someone's books when they have dropped them, holding the door for a teacher without being asked, or just making someone's day with a smile are what I am striving for. It's not the medals, trophies, or certificates that count, it's the feeling of making the world a better place that really matters. I do not think that only certain people should leave an impact on the world, everyone should have an equal chance of blessing the world with their unique talents.

    I think everyone has a talent to offer, whether you're good at sports, making people laugh, helping each other, or being a great friend. This is what you can do and believe what you can do too. Do whatever you’re good at and show it because it might be a shock to others. Everyone is given a chance to do something to change the world even no matter how big or small you are. You’re what you are and no one can change that because God made you who you are. If I get recognized, I want people to know me for who I am. I think everyone should offer some help to the people in Africa, or even for researchers that help find cures for diseases too. You can do one little thing that could help the whole world like donating money to researchers to find a cure and donating food or money to people at Africa. That’s why I think everyone has a talent to offer because everyone is different in their own way.

    When I grow up, my goal is to be a brain surgeon. There are only twenty in the world, so they are not very accessible. This would place me in a position to have a huge impact on others' lives. While I feel that it is everyone's duty to make a positive impact on this world, the select people that are especially gifted should feel a greater obligation to lead others in making the biggest positive impact possible.

    I think everyone has a special talent that Gods given them that would be impacting on the world. Mine is that I want to grow up to be a Jockey, as well as a Musician. There are very few woman jockeys anywhere in the world, and most people believe women are not capable of being a jockey. I think these talents could be an impact on the world because if a kid wanted to be something, they would want someone to look up to & follow. I believe that if a little girl wanted to be a jockey, and saw a woman beating all the odds in a man dominated sport, that they would be more encouraged to pursue that dream. Everyone needs a little push to pursue their dreams, and to be someone to look up to would have a big impact on that part of the world.
