Before I Die

We as people live our life's choosing different things to or not to accomplish in our lives, whether we choose to or not to do something is totally up to us. We can choose our jobs, if we want to get married or have kids we can choose to or not do something. I believe that a persons worth is what they accomplish in there life which would help make peoples like around them. You can choose to do something important with your life or do nothing at all but whatever you choose to do it's your life no one can stop you.

Things I want to have or experience before death the end of my life

The first thing i would like to experience before my death is that i would like to go and visit different places in the world. There are namely five place i would like to see before i die but i would really want to see the land of my fathers before me i would like to go to Portugal for a short time. I believe that by going to different country's we would be able to learn different things about them about there way of life and without going to different places we would began to secluded ourselfs and think negative things of each other. Doing this we would learn about each other and learn as people how to grow.

The second thing i would want to accomplish before my life ends on earth is to do something that would change the life of someone in need. In this life there are always people in need ether they can't find a job, are starving, there sick and need some kind of medicine to help cure them of what is making the sick. We help people for many reasons but we should never help someone for personal gain. By helping each other we would be able to prevent allot of tradages that come from poverty like death and by helping each other we would be able to life in new different ways.

The third thing i would like to do before i die is to at least make a large amount of money i would say 2 or 3 million if I'm lucky in life. I'm a very generous person so for as long as i could think back i never could keep allot of my money. Money in this world is very important it allows we to buy food, places to live and etc, money is also a bad thing also even though most wars and attacks have been cause for the need of money it's also a good thing. Money is a very important thing to humanity and if i had allot of money i would use it to help fund research for disses and to make my family's live better.

The fourth thing i would like to accomplish before my untimely death is to become a teacher and share the things that i have learned over the year and share it with the newer generation. For me i belive that by not knowing nothing of the past we leave open a door which will let history repeat it self and even if what we teach itsn't pretty its important stuff we need to know. The holicost was a horibel thing that happened during world war 2 and if we start saying things that it never happened we are leaving the door open to allow it to happen again. To humaity ignorance may be bliss but it's not a good thing even if the truth isn't something you want to hear you need to know it helps us try to change the people we are into better people and help pervent bad events from hapening.

The fifth and final thing i like to do before i die is i would like to become involved into ploitices. Politics for years people have been making laws and treatys with other nations to make life better for everyone in the world. I would like to be part of the goverment to help push for laws that would better the life in my contry and maybe for our naboring conrties as well. Politics are very important in human life it alows use to create not only better life for the people in our home contry but also it help better understand and better know our fellow man even if they live far away.

Immortality in the eyes of others

One thing every living thing on this planet earth has in commen whether they are rich, poor, animel, planet, or anything that lives even this planet and our sun will some day die. Even though it is a scary thing to think about we some how cope with the tought with it though many way an example is religen beliving that by doing good in your live that you will get to live on forever in heaven or hell. These kinds of thinking has been able to ease the thoght of death from our minds. I too have thought about what happens to use after death and i do fear what will happen to us after we die. I wounder is there a heaven and hell or is there nothing when we die. I in a sence begain to relise my mortality over two years ago when someone in my family died.


Last summer after finishing grade 10 i herd that my grandmother was very sick with cancer in Portugal. After hearing the bad news from my cousin's my family had gone to Portugal to see her before her death. When we got there she had passed away and after her funeral even though she had died as a mortal she didn't die in my memories of her. Even though people do die in this world physicly they don't die there memories can be keep alive in many form from books, pictures. journals, poems, story's, art.

In the Epic of Gilgamesh the main character begain to fear death after his best friend Enkidu was killed by the godes as punishment for killing the bull of heaven. After Enkidu had died Gilgamesh begain a long jurney for immortality cause he feared that he would one day die like Enkidu. Before Enkidu had died Gilgamesh belived that nothing could kill him he was very ingnorent person at the time. Even though he went through a large journey to become a immortatal and even though he failed in the end he was able to cope with the thought of death beliving even though one day he would die but that humanity would be imortal. That has been truth statment even now humaity is alive and so is Gilgamesh is also alive not in a form of a human but as a book that we all read even now. Even though that one day we all might die in some way we can become imortal in the eyes of others through memories, books, pictures, painting, poems and other things.

View on heroism

What are the qualities that makes someone a hero and what does that person need to do for people to see him or her as a her are always asked by people. For a long time even in ancient times hero's were viewed as people as who would in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness they would show a great amount of courage and the will of self-sacrifice for the greater good. There have been many book written about heroism all from Beowulf, The Odyssey and other ancient and modern books have as the hero a male person even though as time went by people have changed there view on what a hero is for a long time a her has been view as a male person. As time went by and even now as times are changing people are now viewing that both male and female can become hero's even though for many years men have been view as hero's.

People in old times view women becoming hero's as a joke something that could never happen that only a man could be one. You don't always hear in literature a woman as hero's. I believe that it doesn't matter if the hero is a male or a female as long as they are willing to do whatever is nesasary for the greater good. Hero's even in this day and age can be found anywhere even if they aren't super humans as long as they do whatever to help there fellow man then they can be considered a hero, a hero can be from anyone from a police officer, fire fighter to someone in the army those are true hero's.
