How to use "Descendant" in context?
It is not easy to be a descendant. One has to carry the legacy of ancestors that have left a lasting impression on history. For some descendants, this legacy may be positive. For others, it is negative. Regardless, descendants have to live up to the expectations of their ancestors.
Some descendants may have to bear the brunt of the family's bad memories. Others may have to carry on the family tradition with no choice. However, each descendant has the power to make their own legacy. It is up to them to choose what they want to leave behind.
