Harder, Cassie: Bucket List

Life is short; make the best of the one life you are given. When you are at the end of your rope, you should be able to look back at what you have done and remember with a smile and not be full of regrets.

                  Listed “top priority” on my bucket list is having my dream job.  I want, more than anything, to be an Ophthalmologist. I decided I wanted to practice ophthalmology when I was a child. Eyes, their design, function, and how vision works, have held my fascination for as long as I can remember.

                  Second on my bucket list is to have a cookie cutter family, home, and neighborhood. Of course, I prefer for this to happen after I have acquired my medical license and I have started working. The image in the back of my mind has always been to have a chic, plush neighborhood to come home to. Perhaps have a few children to fill my home with laughter, noise, and love.

                  Before I “kick the can,” I would love to have a real vacation. I have never been on a vacation, be it a cruise, a trip or Disney Land or Six Flags. Before this life is over for me, I would like to have said I’ve done all three.

                  Fourth on my bucket list, I would like to be able to say that I was able to help someone less fortunate than me. Growing up wasn’t the easiest, but if I stay the course I’ve set for myself, I hope to be in a position to give aid to someone more deserving.

                  Last, but not least, I would like to say I had a happy life. Through every bump and twist in the road, I want to say I made it with a smile.
