Mosley, Lora: Bucket List

Have you ever thought about your bucket list? I have written mine down. The top five things that I want to do are sky diving, scuba diving, traveling to Europe, going on a safari, and working with girls sold into slavery in India.


I want to go sky diving. The adrenaline rush, the experience itself, and the view is exactly what I need to live life to its fullest potential.


Scuba diving is something my dad and I have always wanted to do. I would go scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef. It would be an even greater experience being able to do it with my dad.


Traveling is another thing I aspire to. I want to experience different cultures, and one place that offers that is Europe. Europe has a variety of cultures in close proximity, and each has different and unique traditions.


I also want to go on a safari. I want to see the animals usually seen in the zoo in their natural habitat. The photo opportunities on a safari are also amazing. I want to be able to document how each species interacts with each other and with other species.


Lastly, I want to work with girls who are sold into slavery in India. India is a hot spot for human trafficking. Mumbai has its own red light district. India and all those girls hold a special place in my heart. If the red light district in Mumbai is eliminated, then human trafficking around the world might begin to decline.


If you haven’t written your bucket list, you should. It gives you goals to do, and you’re more likely to complete those goals if you’ve written them down. It also inspires you to try things you never thought you could do.
