What would go in your time capsule if you could only pick four things: (1) family/childhood, (2) heritage/culture roots, (3) accomplishments/achievements, and (4) legacy left behind? And what kind of container would you put it all in?
If I could only choose four things, it would be extremely difficult to narrow down my legacy to so few possessions. If it were up to me, I would bury a treasure chest the size of Russia and hide my whole life in it, but since I'm left with no choice, I must decide on four. As for my family, I might leave behind a map of where each of use came from, so that later generations could identify with our roots. If not a map, I would leave behind a hammer. This may seem like an odd object, but it shows the hard work and persistence to preserve and to try harder instilled in each family member. As for heritage/culture/roots, I would leave behind a charm of Nantucket Island, because it is a place where my siblings and I grew up (for the most part), and generations of my family return there annually. It is truly a special place, where so many cherish-able memories have been made, and for that, I am truly grateful for the life that I have been given to live in such wonderful places. When generations down the road look at this island, I hope that they can remeber that it is a place of connection, a place where family will always be. As for accomplishments, I would leave behind a special medal or ribbon that signifies all of my hard work as a rider. I pour my heart and soul into this sport, so I feel that it is very important to leave behind part of my legacy as an equestrian. Lastly, for my legacy, I would leave behind my first dollar earned from one of the companies that I hope to create one day. This bill would represent hard work paying off (literally). It shows others that dreams can become a reality, as long as you work for what you want, and work for yourself and what makes you happy. For the container, it would be a silver plated wooden box, carefully handcrafted. Since my dad is an architect and my mom is a fine interior designer, I feel that I should leave behind their masterful skills in the form of a beautifully made box, which holds the essence of my life.
