Person, Sarah: Bucket List

I have always been told to “live life to its fullest potential.” Here are a few things that I wish to do that will allow me to fulfill my dream of living live to its fullest. The first thing on my bucket list is to do something on the edge that is totally unexpected of me. Hang gliding, bungee jumping, and skydiving are all possibilities. I want to try one of these activities because I have never done anything over the edge or on the adventurous side. Before I die I want to do something that pushes me beyond my normal limits.


A second thing that I want to do is learn to play a stringed instrument. I played the clarinet in high school but I have always wanted to play a stringed instrument because I love music and the sound that stringed instruments make. Of all of the stringed instruments I like the cello and the guitar the most.


Number three on the bucket list is to travel to Europe. I have always dreamed of going to Europe and visiting places like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Coliseum in Rome, the ruins of Pompeii in Italy, the Parthenon in Greece, as well as the other European historical sites.


The fourth thing on my bucket list is to be on the TV show “Wheel of Fortune” with my mom. I want to do this because my mom and I used to watch this show almost every night. From watching it so much we have become quite good at guessing the puzzles. We even joke about being contestant on the show and already have plans for the money that we will win.


The final thing on my bucket list is to see a live performance of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I want to do this because I love orchestras and because I have heard that this particular orchestra’s performances are always phenomenal.
