Hollensworth, Lilli: Bucket List

To me, a bucket list means something to look forward to in life as well as something that gives life purpose. First on my personal bucket list is to travel to a different country. I’ve spent my entire life in the United States and I believe there’s a lot more culture out there to see and that doing so would be enriching. Also, I want to run a marathon or a half marathon. I love to run and preparing for a long race would give me goal to shoot for. After, I would feel very accomplished having reached that goal. In addition, I want to do something that involves heights. This could include climbing a mountain, as in the type of climbing that involves cables and backpacks, or cliff diving, or even going on a zip line across a forest. Doing so would not only be a thrill, but would also be a great story I could tell and be proud of. Next on my list, I would like to design and build my own house. This is important to me because it’s something to which I could add my own style to and be a place that I would really enjoy. Last on my bucket list, I want to live in a large city such as Dallas. I believe that living in the city would be an opportunity to learn much, make me more independent, and be really fun. There are probably a lot of people out there who never complete their personal bucket lists. I’m hoping to not be one of these people, and I think that once completed, my bucket list will add a lot more meaning to my life.
