I have thought about the phrase “bucket
list” probably thrice in my existence on earth, but for those three times I
did, it really meant something special to me. I am proud to say that while I have
accomplished some of the items on my list, such as coming to the United States
of America to study; the majority of it still remains unfulfilled. I have
a very extensive bucket list but for the sake of this article I will write just
the five items at the top of my scale of preference.
The first thing I will like to
do is to become a professional and registered medical doctor, people ask me why
do you want to be a medical doctor and not an engineer since you are good at
math and physics and I simply tell them there are enough people doing the
engineering jobs but not enough “life savers.” My utmost passion in life is to
help people in need, especially those people who can’t get sound health care
because they don’t have enough money to pay for their medical expenses. It is
unfortunate that the health industry is turning into a money making industry
rather than one to help the masses. One day I hope to change that with the help
of like-minded people.
The second item on my scale is to travel to
and explore all countries in the world. The beauty of nature, people and
culture cannot be appreciated by just watching them on television; even a high
definition set will not provide the physical or emotional connection like that of
seeing, feeling or touching a real object. I believe that every place,
person, and object on earth has its own importance, therefore I want to
explore, feel, and be united with them.
Thirdly, I want to get married and start a
family of my own, which is very important to me because I want to raise my
children in a very humble and educative way just as my parents raised me. I
will be there for them in every way possible so we can make special memories
together. Another thing I will accomplish before my demise is to start a fully
functioning sport center and gym back home in Nigeria for youth, so that they
get to involve themselves in meaningful activities that can turn their life
around for the better, rather than engage in violence.
The
fifth and final thing on my top five things I would like to do before I kick
the bucket is meet Ellen DeGeneres. She is in totality what I think a person
should be: fun, loving, caring, open, kind, and most of all humble. If there is
one person except my family and friends I would like to spend the rest of my
life with, it will be her. In a nutshell I adore her and she is the best.
