People
always say, “Life is short, so make the most of it.” I never realized how short
life actually is until last year when my mom unexpectedly passed away. She was
only 44 years old. The sudden loss of my mother at such a young age has made me
want to live my life to the fullest. To help keep track of my life goals I have
created a “bucket list” for myself. My real bucket list is quite long, but for
the sake of everyone’s time, I will narrow it down to the most important items.
As an aspiring art major, I want to complete the Studio
Art track at Southern Arkansas University and then pass the certification for
teaching. However, my first choice in the career field will be working for an
art-related company. If this does not work, I will have the teaching
certificate to fall back on. If fate has it that I become a teacher, I will
further my education to become an art professor. After this I will hope to find
a job with the Arkansas Razorbacks, simply because my mother was an
over-the-top Razorback fan and I want to honor her memory. Achieving this goal
will also make me extremely happy and proud of myself, along with knowing my
mom would be proud of me.
On a different note, another item on my bucket list is to
vacation in Cozumel, Mexico. Cozumel is known for its awe inspiring underwater
reefs which I would like to scuba dive. Of course, I would have to first learn how to scuba dive. I plan to dive only
after I master the skill and trust myself enough to not let this bucket list
goal be my last. While I explore the marvelous reefs of Cozumel I plan to take
as many underwater pictures as possible, as I have a thing for photographing
nature. Like my aspiration to work in the artistic side of industry, or become
an art professor, this goal of exploring Cozumel’s beauty is for my profound
interest in nature. Accomplishing both goals would make my mom proud, which
helps push me to make my dreams reality.
