Back in 2010, I was in Form 5; Madam Goh was my English teacher
who happened to be one of the most ferocious teachers there is in our school.
She once told me that there is a way to immortalize our loved ones. We were all bamboozled. No one seems
to believe her. Of course, we are all are so naive and so conservative back
then, I thought to myself of how impossible it was too! I mean, how can someone
be immortalized? Everyone will be dead, right? It's just a matter of time. So,
a few of us rebelled and start bombing her with questions. She, in a very
strict manner, told us all to zip our mouth and started explaining. This is what she told our class:
1. Make an art
about them.
She started to explain to us, patiently, that someone, unaffiliated with what their race,
color, gender or whatever that is that cross your mind might be, can be immortalize by
including or participating them in your literary work or any artwork. For
example; Shakespeare eternalized his loved one in the Sonnet 18 or Leonardo da
Vinci with his Mona Lisa (Is
Mona Lisa a real person?)
2. Publish them.
After you've
finished making an art about them, don't let it just lay up there in your mind or
something, you'll soon forget about it. Publish it, or post it or you can even tweet it! There's a variety
of way on how you can publish them.
Tadaaa! You have
now made that something or someone an immortal, sort of. If you're too shy
about it, well don't be. You may not be the best at what you do, but at least
you have to give it a try. No one was born as a famous artist or celebrity;
they worked their asses off to be who they are that they got to be now.

Adieu and happy
trying!
