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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeletePlant a tree
ReplyDeleteWrite 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.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to support you here today, Shelli! I hope I make my mark by letting kids know their experiences, ideas, and lives are valid.
ReplyDeleteI hope I leave a mark by passing on knowledge in any way possible, but particularly through stories.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteI plan to write, support other writers. be good to my family and at work.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
