The Alchemist Quote Log 1

“It’s what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is” (21).
Santiago is confused as to why the King of Salem would be talking to a shepherd like himself. The King tells him that he has discovered his Personal Legend which is to retrieve a treasure. Santiago has a unique opportunity where he is told what his Person Legend is. Many people struggle to discover what theirs is. Personally I feel as if I know what mine is. A personal Legend should be to do something that one loves to do. For me this is playing sports, talking sports, and being around sports. They are more than a hobby to me and the reason that I want to major in Sports Management. Like Santiago I hope to go on a journey to discover a true meaning. I hope to find a job that puts me around sports, whether it be an agent, athletic director, scout or front office member. I hope I am finding my Personal Legend.
