Winchell, Raechel: Bucket List


Living life to the fullest is a goal that most people never reach. I would like to be able to say that my time on earth wasn’t wasted.  Before I die, there are five things that I would like to accomplish.
                  The reason for my decision to become a high school math teacher has a lot to do with the influences that my teachers had on me. Changing the lives and thought processes of young people is one thing I want to accomplish.  Next, I want to eventually start a family. Family has always been very important to me. I would like to have at least two children. I want to have a loving Christian based household that I can be proud of. My third goal is very similar. I would like to keep my current relationship stable and happy. I have been with my boyfriend for two years now and we have a connection that I have never found anywhere else. My goal is to keep our bond strong, and have lasting companionship. I want a love that I can grow old with. Before I die, I would like to stick my feet in the ocean and watch the sun set over the water. I have never been farther south than Dallas; it has always been my dream to visit the coast. My last and most far-fetched goal is to visit outer-space. Although this will probably never happen, it would be an amazing experience to see what the earth looks like from space.
                  Even if I only get to do one or two of the things on my list, that will be enough to satisfy me. Completing the first four of these actions will allow me to die as an accomplished and happy woman.
