Death is inevitable for all humans. The document discusses how one wants to be remembered after death, views on fearing death, and whether death should be considered a hindrance. Specifically:
1) The author wants to be remembered for their strong ethical values, fairness, respect for others, and willingness to learn and accept correction.
2) While death is unknown and mysterious, it should not necessarily be feared as it is unavoidable and can be seen as the next adventure.
3) Death delays experiences and successes in life and can occur at the peak of one's achievements, so it can be viewed as a hindrance that prevents taking advantage of opportunities.

As human beings, we should always act in a manner that people will remember us for the good things we do and the legacy we live leave behind. When we die, our deeds live after us whether they are good or bad. Therefore, we should have it at the back of our mind that we are making history by what we are doing presently. First of all I would like to be remembered as an individual with sound ethical values and principles and does not compromise them no matter what the circumstance may be. Also, fairness is a characteristic that I would love to be recognized for. Personally, I have always strove to be fair with others and to recognize my mistakes while learning from them. In addition to this, I would like to be remembered as a person who respects others as much as I respect them. As a child, I have developed some values from my family to treat everybody with respect whether I agree with them or not. I would love to be like to be remembered as person who is always keen and open to correction, always ready and eager to learn. I want to be remembered for the good that I have lived to do and to be remembered for the good and reputable name which I have built.
II. Should we fear death or not?
It is inevitable. We are afraid of death because of fear of the unknown; none of us knows precisely what happens after we die. But death is inescapable, everybody dies at some point. The fact we do not know what happens after death makes it mysterious. As J.K. Rowling said, "To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure".
III. Do you consider death as a hindrance or obstacle?
Death is a hindrance. Death is the contradiction of life. The meaning of hindrance means a thing or situation that provides resistance, delay, or obstruction to something or someone (Navigation, 2016). This means that death delays us the moment we enjoy the stuff we like, but since death is uncertain, it can be taken away from us at any moment. This is absurd condition according to Albert Camus, a French philosopher and journalist, based on his published book, The Rebel (1960), stated that the sad thing is, sometimes death comes at the peak of our success. But we have always to remind that hindrances are preventive signs, means that we do not have to fear the death so as we exists in this world. We can die at anytime and since death is uncertain, we have to be aware of every single opportunity, we must look death as hindrance to be alert and aware that we should not waste every opportunity we have.
