Romo, Ricardo: Bucket List


     There are many things that I would like to accomplish before I die, or before “I kick the bucket,” as people would like to say.
First, I would like to graduate Southern Arkansas University with Honors. Currently I am a freshman at the university, and have already accumulated several college credit hours while attending high school. No one in my family has attended college, and I would instill pride in them by graduating college with Honors.
            Second, I would like to find true love and marry a sweet and conservative woman. In my opinion, it would be very depressing to live a lonely life. One day, I would like to find that special someone and share the rest of my life with her.
            Third, I would like to create my own version of a machine that generates salt water into fresh water. I want to make the machine more efficient and more cost effective for third world countries that do not have the access to fresh water.
            Speaking of other countries, the fourth item on my bucket list is to visit major historical cities in Europe and the United States. I have always been amazed by skyscrapers and the historical values of cities, and visiting such places as New York City or Rome would quench my need to travel.
            Fifth, I want to get over my fear of large, extravagant roller coasters. When I ride roller coasters like the Gauntlet at Magic Springs, I shut my eyes tightly and wait for the nightmare to be over. One day I would like to ride those scary roller coasters and enjoy myself.
            There are many things I want to accomplish on my bucket list before I die, but by completing these five simple items I would die feeling satisfied.
