Corbitt, Joshua: Bucket List


We all have achievements that we want to fulfill before we die.  Some people may share your desires while others could care less about them.  That’s just how it is, we all care for different things.  Here are the achievements that I care the most about.

I have always enjoyed fishing, ever since I caught my first brim.  After many years of fishing for bass, I developed a goal for myself that is not so easily reached.  I want to catch a ten pound bass.  Anything in the double digits will do, but a ten pounder is my minimum requirement.

One of my greatest desires is to have a house on a lake.  Whether fishing from a boat or swimming in the lake, there is always something fun to do.  If I had a house on a lake, then I would always be having fun.

I want to pursue my college education until I obtain my master’s degree.  Being the first person in my family to attend college, I believe that this would clear a nice path for the next generations of my family.  I hope to stir up a desire in them for a college education.   

In my future career, I hope to earn my own lab.  That will be ideal; with so many machines and chemicals at my disposal, I could demonstrate countless experiments.  

Getting married and having a family has always been important to me.  It is something that has always been in the back of my mind.  Finding a great woman, passing on what I know to my kids, and giving them every opportunity on the way is what I hope to achieve.
