West, Augustus: Bucket List

There are many activities I wish to experience before I die. These include going scuba diving, seeing the pyramids, and going to the Bahamas. However, there are five things I wish to do more than anything else before I kick the bucket.

5. The fifth experience is to go on an African Safari. I have always wanted to witness firsthand the amazing biodiversity and geographic wonders found in Africa. I also would like to hunt for lion, cape buffalo, and leopard. I would also like to travel to Africa is to experience some of the regions diverse cultures.

4. The fourth experience on my bucket list is to visit the ruined cities and temples of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. I have always been fascinated with the great civilizations of the Americas that developed totally apart from the rest of the world and still built pyramids and cities that were some of the largest in the world.

3. The third experience on my bucket list is to go sky diving. I have always wanted to go sky diving because it is a pure adrenaline rush.

2. The second experience on my bucket list is to make a difference in the world. I want to work in a field that will allow me to make the world a better place. I want to be a part of a major biological discovery that helps mankind for the better.

1. The experience that I want most before I die is to have a family. I want to meet a great woman who will love me and with whom I can have and raise at least two kids. I want to have a career that can support my family and live to see my kids grow up and have children of their own.

These five experiences will give my life meaning if I can accomplish them before I kick the bucket.
