Teacher: What do you aspire to be?
Oh god this is one that I wasn't expecting to get. Um, it's hard to really say what I aspire to be, but I'll try to explain it.
I had an uncle who died when I was 14, and when I went to his funeral, there were hundreds of different people who went there. I heard countless stories about him, and I remember all of them being about how kind he was, how he was there for everyone, and that he was a generally good person at heart.
I had an epiphany of sorts that night, and realized that if I kept behaving like a miserable person, I'd end up with no one at my funeral. If I died in that exact moment, would there be people who would even show up?
So basically I aspire to be a person who people will come see when I die, or at least think about. I try my best to be helpful, nice, funny, generous, and a lot of other things. I know I fuck up at it a lot, but I still try to fix my fuck ups and show that I'm a person aspiring to be the best that I can be. I want to be that person that at least if I die, you think something about me. Not wonder who I even was or if I ever did anything.
