Hoffman, Mallory: Bucket List

A Bucket List: A list of things to be completed before one’s death. Most people have a “bucket list” and like them so do I.


Before I die would like to be completely content with my life, to have lived a life of ease and comfort. I know there will always be letdowns and unforeseen obstacles in life, so I don’t expect to be satisfied 100% of the time; that’s not what I am speaking of. I’m not delusional and do not expect a fairy tale life. I do want to be financially secure; so that I can buy the things I need or want without worry about being able to afford them. I want to live my life without struggling to pay overwhelming bills or worrying about having enough money to live on after paying rent and buying groceries. Already I have had to live that life for too long, growing up in a working class single-parent family with two kids. I don’t want to live that life any longer. If someone in my life needs something, I want to be able to give them the help that my family never received. Also, just to be able to buy non-essentials without having to think twice would be so nice. This is why I have decided on neurology as a career, because not only does it intrigue me, but it also pays well. All of these things lead to my single goal in life: Not to have to worry.
