Connelley, Cole: Bucket List

My name is Cole Connelley, and I was born on July 22, 1995, in Little Rock, Arkansas. I have a mom, dad, and one younger sister and currently live in the average-size town of Monticello, Arkansas. I love to hunt and fish and enjoy wakeboarding on the weekends with my friends. Playing college baseball has always been my dream and I am currently a middle infielder/outfielder for the Southern Arkansas University Muleriders. I give all the glory to God because I am a proud Christian in faith. There are a handful of activities I would like to experience in my life, and I hope I get the chance to do them. 

            To begin with, sky diving has always been on my top priority list. I want to experience the rush of jumping out of a moving plane and free-falling towards the ground underneath. I understand it is extremely dangerous and risky, but I will do it eventually one day. My next item on the list I would appreciate checking off would have to be scuba diving with sharks. I have been scuba diving plenty of times before but never with sharks nearby. This would also be another one of those dangerous desires with a high adrenaline rush, but that is what interests me and makes it more memorable. Thirdly, I would really love to visit a foreign country such as Italy or France. I believe there is so much to see in this world and those are two very unique places to go. Next, playing major league baseball would absolutely be a dream come true for me. I have always desired to play with the pros and have worked extremely hard to make my chances of getting there higher. Lastly, I think it would be amazing to play the guitar. I have always wanted to learn but have never had the time or chance to. It would always be something I could enjoy doing when I get older. 

            As you can see, I have a few desires to check off my list throughout the period of my life. I want to see everything life has to offer but sky diving, scuba diving with sharks, visiting a foreign country, playing major league baseball, and learning how to play the guitar are some of the things I would appreciate most. I hope the Lord will bless me with a long life so I may have a chance to live these awesome experiences.
