I, [My Name], aware of the privilege life has granted me and of the extraordinary journey I have had the honor to undertake, wish to leave a mark of gratitude and hope for the future.
I have received so much from life: talent, opportunities, and success. With a deep sense of regret, I realize that I have not done enough, during my years of glory, to give back what I was given. Now I want to make amends by leaving a legacy that can truly make a difference.
First of all, I leave my material assets to my beloved wife, [Name of Wife], my greatest love and support. I thank her for the patience, affection, and strength she has given me throughout all these years.
Furthermore, I wish for a significant part of my estate to be allocated to the construction of a school in the poorest neighborhoods of the favelas where I was born and raised. This school should bear my name, not out of vanity, but as a symbol of hope and redemption for those who, like me, were born with little but dreamed big.
The school must be equipped with everything needed for the children’s education: books, pens, pencils, and quality teaching tools. But there is another thing I consider essential: I want a football field and a heated gymnasium to be built. Because it is through sports that I learned the value of discipline, sacrifice, and the desire to improve myself. And it is through sports that children can discover their abilities and find the inspiration to excel, not only on the field but also in school and in life.
I entrust you, who are reading these words, with the task of making this dream come true. I do not ask to be remembered as a champion, but as someone who tried to do good, even if a little late.
