Castleberry, Jesse: Bucket List


Many people have extraordinary dreams that they want to complete before they pass away. There are numerous dreams that I would like to accomplish in my life before God takes me to heaven. Here are five things that I would certainly want to achieve before I die.

My first item on my bucket list is to become a professional baseball player.  I have played baseball since I was 6 years old. Baseball is basically my life, but I couldn’t have gotten this far without God’s help. I love to go out and compete.  When I am on the baseball field, I believe I belong there.  I want my everyday job to be a professional baseball player. 

My second item on my list is to go cave exploring.  I went caving once when I was a child, but I do not remember a whole lot about the trip.  I want to see the paintings on the walls from our ancestors look at, all of the colorful rocks and learn about all of the cave’s history.

My third item on my bucket list is to travel around Europe.  I have always wanted to see all of Europe beautiful cities. I want to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris; the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, the Coliseum in Rome, and the Parthenon in Athens.  While I am there, I want to learn all about the history of those cities.
My fourth item on my bucket list is to learn to play the piano. When I was a child, I would listen for hours to my aunt playing the piano. Listening to her would relax me and put me in another world. I would like to play the piano by ear one day.
My fifth item on my bucket list is to go bungee jumping.  I saw a person bungee jumping when I visited Hawaii. I was amazed because it seemed he was going to smash his head on the ground or that the rope was going to break when he jumped off of the bridge.  I just want to feel that since of adrenaline rush and excitement when I jump off of a bridge.
