"We do not simply live our live for ourselves, but for those who came before and will come after us." That quote makes a lot of sense to me. I live for my parents and my family. That would be talking about the ones who come before us. I know that i try to do well to make my family proud of me and to help them in any way. The real reason i want to go to college is to prepare for my future which I hope does include kids. Kids are the after us part. I know that most of my hard work in school and college is so that I can have a successful career and provide for my family. Some times it seems like we do everything for ourselves but when you look further into things the cloudy is now clear.
