Remember elementary and middle school? Remember those old wooden desks? (I'm telling on myself. I grew up in the eighties). I don't know about you but I've carved my name into a desk or two. Just to leave my mark. To make it known to the up and coming 4th graders that I was there.
Carving your name into a desk is no easy task. It takes a little time, some concentration, and a teacher who is momentarily distracted. But when all is said and done, I've left my mark.
That should be our aim in life. To leave a mark wherever we go. To make a lasting impression on the people we meet. It'll take some time but it will be worth it in the end.
