Portmann, Robbie: Bucket List

Life is full of many sweet memories and dull moments; however, before the Lord calls me to heaven there are a few things I would like to experience. Getting married is at the top of my list. Finding the man who makes me smile when I’m down and near crying can only make life more meaningful. Even though my life might not always be the richest or the brightest every day, being with my true love will allow me to learn how to get along with another person through thick and thin, wealth and poverty, sickness and health until death does us part. Sharing my life with someone will also keep me from being lonely during stormy nights and long winters. Next, I would love to have children. Raising a child will allow me to teach another human being what life means by sharing what I have experienced throughout the years. Also, as a science major, I believe it would be quite interesting to see how the child’s genetics plays out between the father and me. Having grandchildren in the future is also another plus to bearing a child. Finally, I would love to bungee jump. This daring action will thrill me and allow me face my fear of heights. Falling down through the air with only a cord attached to my ankles would provide a sense of adventure that might show me how fast life can end and help me appreciate life even more. Even though my life could be fulfilled through many events, I believe that having a family while retaining a touch of adventure in my life would allow me to live my life to the fullest.
