Riddle, Morgan: Bucket LIst


A Bucket List, is a list of things that one has not done before, but wants to do before dying, or “kicking the bucket.” I am hopeful that I will not be kicking a bucket anytime soon so that I will have plenty of time to get through my Bucket List.
The first thing on my list of things to do before I die is to visit Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona was originally a colony developed by the Romans, but grew quickly after the onset of economic revival and industrialization. It is now the second largest city in Spain and flourishes with culture and art. Perched on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is one place I would love to travel.
Along with traveling to Barcelona, I would like my travels to take me abroad to experience other places in the world such as Greece, Jerusalem, Beirut, and Machu Pichu. These places are rich in culture and history. My hope is to travel to these places and get a better understanding of their culture, and hopefully gain a greater respect for their history.
With a greater understanding of the cultures around the world, the third thing on my list would be to focus on the problems in my own backyard. Problems such as natural disasters devastate America every year. My hope is to one day make my time and talents more available to those in need when disaster strikes.
Although disasters seem inevitable, there is still hope. My fourth task to complete before I die is to give a child hope through adoption. Taking children away from horrible situations and bringing them into homes where they can grow and be happy and seeing the new life in their face will be my ultimate fulfillment in life.
 I want to embrace anything that comes my way. I refuse to spend my limited amount of years on this Earth complaining. My final goal is to just experience life and the lives around me.
