Looking at the future and past it’s hard to say what people will take from all of it. No matter how hard I can try to please as many I can in my time here or there, not everyone will approve of what I do, say, or think. This realization is step of maturity as I walk through life. However, I don’t want it to be about me. I don’t want people to look back and say “oh yeah, I know who Sarah Firestone is.” No, I want my actions to speak louder than just who I am or my name. I’ve never been one to really want to be bragged about. I’ve grown up and always taught myself that you work hard and the rewards will come, but over it all you’ve got to work hard and just put all you have into it. Many want their hard work to be known that it was by them,…show more content…
Without my mom keeping track of where I am mentally with everything and helping me to balance all that I had or have going on in my life, or my dad to push me athletically to reach the best and do my best to be better than the rest. But no one can forget their coaches, or academic advisors, or mentors throughout high school or middle school. Those first few people you look up to for what to do, what is right and wrong, or who to go to in situations and talk to. These people are the first step to anyone’s success, including mine.

No matter the situation or circumstances I have always tried to stay true to my roots and what I’ve grown up as the golden rules: God, family, everything else. This helps me to know I have a purpose but it not just a self-fulfilling purpose but one to make a difference. To help others in life and let them see my light shine as I carry them when they can walk no more. Not to make a scene when I need help and can’t walk. I want to let my light shine, to help others see their light and walk them along their path. In no need or reason do I need to be remembered as “oh yeah, Sarah Firestone. The girl that did this this and that…” That is not what I’m looking for. But instead I want to be a girl who helped make difference in others’ lives, to help them see their full potential as I learn to see mine too. I hope others can see the world and things in a different view than the narrow minded, dark worldly view most and I have too. But to see the bigger picture, the reactions, consequences, punishments, accomplishments and so on and not just what is in front of them. That is what I hope I’m known for, but only a little bit.
