In Untraceable - the key theme is that "every1 leaves a mark on this earth".
Grace's father's mark seems to be erased.
Grace's mark is that she makes a huge sacrifice for the right reasons.

I leave a mark on every student I teach. My hope is they take it and use it everyday.
I will leave a mark on this earth by loving my son so much that he will pass that love down to his future children, and they will do the same!
Plant a tree
Write a book
Have a son
This is an old Spanish saying that answers your question. I have done the three, just in case.
I plan to leave a mark by writing books that entertain as well as by donating as much as I can during my lifetime to help save endangered species.
So glad to support you here today, Shelli! I hope I make my mark by letting kids know their experiences, ideas, and lives are valid.
I hope I leave a mark by passing on knowledge in any way possible, but particularly through stories.
I found my heart hurt reading your line above that Grace's father's mark was erased. So sad.
I hope to leave a mark by writing and publishing my books, by raising my two children to be honest, loving and caring people, and by decreasing my footprint on the environment.
I think about this a lot. There are the "big" things that are important to me, like raising my children with strong values and to be contributors to society. To be a teacher who inspires her students to be thinkers/explorers and maximize their potential for things that they're passionate about. But I also feel like I can leave my "mark" through the "small" moments in life, like emptying a grocery cart for an elderly person when she has difficulty doing so (with permission of course), or bringing over chicken soup to a neighbor who is sick. It's those moments that stick out in my mind the most and I hope it leaves a "positive" mark on this world. :D
I plan to write, support other writers. be good to my family and at work.
This is a great question. I hope to leave a mark by raising my children to be good, honest people; by serving in my community; and by helping my students learn to have faith in their ideas and their writing.
I think I leave a mark by pushing my students to be better than they thought they could but teaching that laughter can accompany hard work.
