Gurung, Tashi: Bucket List


Honestly, the majority of my bucket list is no different than that of most people. I want to go on a world tour, look at the Northern Lights, visit the Grand Canyon, hike the stampede trail, bungee jump, and visit the Everest base camp, among others. Performing Tango and Salsa in front of a crowd, going to and confessing in a church, and praying in a mosque may be bit distinctive.  Like everyone else, I am enthusiastic about all of these amazing experiences. However, I want to underscore the objectives that are more important and unique to me.
The first thing on my bucket list is to intern and then work in Wall Street.  During my high school years, I listened to BBC World Service, an FM station, more than I listened to music. This exposed me to the world of finance.  Apparently, I am halfway towards my goal because I’m already in the United States. I want to spend a considerable amount of time in the United States and engage in extensive research especially on economies that have had astronomical economic growth in the past decade, such as China, India, South Korea and Chile. My next goal is to work in the Finance Ministry of Nepal and have my picture hung on its wall for my contribution to the system.
The last thing I want to do is to see the prefix ‘Dr.’ in my name. And I want my Mom to see it, along with all her friends.
