What do you want your legacy to be?

We asked folks about legacy and what they want people to remember about them. We’ve shared some of those responses below.
My father always taught me that everything you do in this life leaves a mark, with whoever you meet and wherever you go. He named me after both him and my grandfather, so I have always taken pride in being “the third.” I didn’t realize the importance of carrying a family name until recently. That being said, I want my legacy to be memorable. I want people to remember me as the person who was always around to lend a helping hand. I am thankful to God for the life that I live because of the people I grew up with, and the people whom I continue to meet everyday. Houston is different. This is a city that welcomes people of all faces, backgrounds and religions. As a Black man with a multicultural background, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Read more>>
