Wilson, Taylyn: Bucket List

There are so many activities for a person to experience in their lifetime that if one did something new everyday for his or her entire life, that person would not put a dent in the list. Most people select a  few of the activities they want to do before they die and create a bucket list. Mine, for now, consists of swimming with sharks, learning to play piano, riding in a hot air balloon, visiting every country in the world, and running a marathon.


    My entire life I have avoided doing anything dangerous, so swimming with sharks would give me an opportunity to change that. Of course, I would be in a cage or controlled environment so it would not be stupidly dangerous.


    I took dance for thirteen years and never had the chance to find another talent. I have always envied people who were musically inclined and would like to see if I have some talent in that area. Any instrument would be nice to learn but I have always loved piano music.


    In my opinion hot air balloons are pretty and would be a neat way to see the world. The view and experience seems it would be better than an airplane or helicopter ride.


    This is probably on every bucket list made, but visiting all the countries in the world would be a great way to use my time in life. It would be interesting to get to visit and interact with each culture.
    The final event on my list is to run a marathon. It is something I have always wanted to achieve since  I can barely run a mile now. To be able to run a complete marathon would take extensive training and discipline but to push myself to that level of endurance would be rewarding in the end.
