Shaw, Ehvan: Bucket List


                  Dying is on the very bottom of my list. If I could avoid death all together that would be even better! But, seeing that it probably will not happen, death it is. But before I am buried in my cold grave, there are five things that I would love to try: sky diving, bungee jumping, learning to play three instruments, start dancing again, and visiting every state in the good ole United States of America.
                  I love going on rollercoasters and doing things that get my adrenaline pumping. Going sky diving would be just another thrill chasing activity for me. Plus, I have never been on a plane so it would combine two things that I have never done into one.
                  Bungee jumping is one more thrill ride that I think would be epic fun. Not only would I be jumping from a high place, but I'd hanging upside down while doing it! That may seem a little crazy to some but then again I never considered myself to be the sanest person in the world.
                  I am in love with music and listen to all types of it- from hip-hop to alternative. The three instruments that I want to master are piano, guitar and saxophone. I have played sax before and currently own a guitar but I am not very mastered in either. Hopefully I’ll get serious enough to learn before I get too old to do so.
                  I used to dance when I was younger. I loved dressing up in my costumes and makeup and putting on recitals for people. My two favorite events where tap and jazz. I enjoyed listening to my tap shoes click-clack across the floor as I did my routine and the feeling of the jazz cushions on my feet as I leapt into the air. Dancing was a true passion and I hope to one day to do it again.
                  The last thing I would want to do is to visit all fifty states in the U.S. I have currently been to Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, and Alabama. The United States has so much character and history displayed in each state and one never knows what kind of awesome or quirky things one may come across.
