If every memory of you disappeared tomorrow, what part of you would still remain?
People don’t see death because it walks behind their backs. We face each other when we take our last breath and our heart makes its last beat. It would be dishonest to say that we meet death only once, where our story comes to an end. A person meets death as many times as their thread of life is at risk of being cut.
Some people say that life ends when death arrives. However, the truth is that life ends when memories of us are no longer remembered.
If every memory of me disappeared tomorrow I think only a minority would notice. My life isn’t full of people, I don’t have a lot of friends or acquaintances who would keep memories of me alive for a long time. In my life I haven’t done anything particularly brave or incredible, besides, I haven’t won anything so that people would think about it. Moreover, for every person I was expressing myself differently. Thus, they had different perceptions of me. For some people I was a sister, a daughter, a friend, a student or a competitor but for some reason I’ve never been myself.
However, the question arises: What part of me would still remain?
I have realised that memory isn’t supposed to be about something material but about feelings. I think the closest people would remember my kindness, love and passion. But also - the dream. Moreover, each of them would hold something special that would remind them of our shared stories.
My sister would remember my laughter.
My parents would remember my help and respect.
Friends would remember my passion and smile.
Teachers would remember my potential.
Before death comes for me, I want to do as much as possible to be remembered, respected and loved.
If every memory of you disappeared tomorrow…

We face each other when we take our last breath and our heart makebeats its last beat.
We face each other when we take our last breath and our heart beats its last beat.
I'm not sure the verb "makes" works in this context, but I'm also not sure what I'd suggested instead...
It would be dishonest to say that we meet death only once, whereas our story comes to an end.
It would be dishonest to say that we meet death only once, as our story comes to an end.
"Where" isn't wrong, strictly speaking, but this sounds more natural
However, the truth is that life ends when memories of us are no longer remembered. However, the truth is that life ends when memories of us are no longer remembered.
This sounds a little redundant. You could perhaps say "... when no memories of us remain" or "... when no one remembers us any longer."
If every memory of me disappeared tomorrow, I think only a minority of people would notice. If every memory of me disappeared tomorrow, I think only a minority of people would notice.
"Minority" really only makes sense when there's a larger reference group in question.
My life isn’t full of people,; I don’t have a lot of friends or acquaintances who would keep memories of me alive for a long time.
My life isn’t full of people; I don’t have a lot of friends or acquaintances who would keep memories of me alive for a long time.
In my life I haven’t done anything particularly brave or incredible, b in my life. Besides, I haven’t won anything so that people would think about it.
I haven’t done anything particularly brave or incredible in my life. Besides, I haven’t won anything that people would think about.
The second sentence sounds somewhat unnatural, but I'm not sure quite what you mean, so it's hard to give a specific suggestion.
Moreover, for every person I wasI expressinged myself differently to every person I met.

a comma after "competitor" would also work, but I think the semicolon is nice for readability

Besides is for a different point, but I think this point flows on well so I'd just use "and"

But also - the dream. But also - the dream.
I'm a little unclear what you mean in this sentence. They would remember your dreams? They would remember your passions? They would dream of you?
If it is the first one, I'd phrase it as: "But also - my dreams."
