Gill, Emily: Bucket List

There are so many things in the world that captivate my senses in the world that I would like to do before I die. Although I am currently preoccupied with trying to find my niche in a new landscape, I do have a list of things I hope to do before my time in this world is up. I would like to go to all of the places on my 101 Places to See Before You Die poster, chase after my World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) dream, and top it all off with getting involved in Cirque Du Soleil.





First of all, I plan on traveling to every destination on my 101 Places to See Before You Die poster that my uncle got for me because we made a deal that I would try to do that. Some of the “hot spots” are Mount Kilimanjaro, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and The Northern Lights because they are wonders of art that have rich histories behind them.


I also want to work for WWE in the Connecticut headquarters because it holds a special place in my life. I was practically born watching wrestling and it’s a way that my family connects. There is just something about the wrestling industry that speaks to me and says that this is what I want and need to do. I cannot express how much working for the WWE would mean to me.


Finally, I would be fired up to get involved in Cirque Du Soleil because of the artistry that is within every performance that they do. Whether I ended up traveling to see every show they put on or being employed by them, I would have a ball. I just love the artsy, musical, entertainment lifestyle, so it would be a perfect fit for my bucket list.
