When I first sat down and tried to think of my bucket
list, I realized I did not have specific things in mind. Who does not have a
set of ideas of things they would like to conquer before they die? Well, I did
not. Then it came to me, I am terrified of most things other people put on
their lists such as: sky diving, cliff hanging and scuba diving. That led me to
see that the one major item on my bucket list is overcoming my fears.
I do, however, have other things on my list: becoming
fluent in German. After living in Germany six months that is one of them. I
took one year of German in high school and loved it. In addition, I briefly
studied their manners and etiquette. I want to take a deeper look at their
customs. While in Germany I could mark some traveling off of my list as well. I
want to be able to understand other people and their cultures. Nothing seems to
fascinate me more.
I cannot leave out learning how to play chess and
learning how to box. Strategy and performance are two of my favorite things,
and from what I have seen both of those require each.
That, in a nutshell, would have to be my bucket list. I
am sure as I get older I will find even more tasks that I would like to be able
to accomplish, but for now that is it. Bucket lists are intended to make people
feel validation that they have accomplished something in their life that they never
thought they could do or was only fantasies. I can say that my bucket list
would allow me to feel that validation.
