Hight, Lake: Bucket List


                  Nobody truly knows how long their life will last or what things they will be able to accomplish during this time. Due to the uncertainty that life holds, some people create a list of what they would like to do during their life time; it is called a bucket list.
                  The first thing on my list is to graduate from college with honors. That opens the door for many more opportunities and gives me a much better chance of being successful. This will probably be the first thing checked off the list.
                  Of course, I also have some thrills on my list. I believe that going scuba diving would be an amazing experience. I would enjoy being able to see in person what lies deep in the ocean. It’s a view that pictures alone cannot duplicate.
                  Skydiving is another thriller on my list. It would be hard to convince myself to do it, but I know I would love it afterwards. It is a feeling that I would like to experience and it also would be cool to be able to say that I’ve jumped out of an airplane.
                  I need to be able to afford the thrilling activities on my list so money deserves a spot as well. Landing a solid job, preferably as a physical therapist, and earning a very nice salary is another item on my list. I want to have a job that I will enjoy doing while making some good money.
                  The last item on my bucket list is that when I have a son, I would love to get to be his peewee football coach. Football was a big part of my life growing up and I wouldn’t want anything more than to be able to share that with my son.
