Curtis, David: Bucket List

    Over the course of my life, short though it may be, I have already seen countless amazing things that people do, and think to myself "I want to do that!" often forgetting these things just a few moments later. Some of these things, however, consistently keep popping back up and I have compiled a short list of the major things that I want to do sometime in the future.

1. Scuba Dive at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia
    For a couple years now I have been scuba diving a number of times in Arkansas. The allure of gliding through the water far below the surface, observing the fish - not only observing, but also being observed - always keeps me coming back for more. In more recent months, however, I have found myself attracted towards the brighter colors and diverse marine life of saltwater reefs, such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

2. Go skiing in Colorado
    There's just something about snow that I love despite the cold. Skiing has a way of bringing people together while still giving people personal space because skiing is a sport that requires a lot of space.

3. Go parasailing
    Ever since I was a little kid taking to the skies has always been a dream of mine despite the fact that I have never been in the air. Just the thought of being carried aloft by a flying parachute and being able to see for miles around makes me want to get out and go right now. Parasailing is, literally, letting yourself go where the whim of the wind takes you.

4. Visit Six Flags over Texas
    I have always had a very strong affinity for roller coasters! Roller coasters are one of my favorite pastimes. Six Flags over Texas is the home to a wide variety of coaster, with many of the biggest and baddest coasters you could imagine.
