Hamal, Pranit: Bucket List


Life has many stages. People must face various challenges to be successful in their lives. Some make bucket lists either in writing or only in their minds. The main idea of a bucket list is to decide or plan the things to do before dying. Having a bucket list helps envision life goals making them easier to achieve. 

I have always dreamt of  becoming a computer programmer. So, the first item on my list is to graduate from the Computer Science program at Southern Arkansas University with 4.0 GPA in 3.5 years.

Another item on my bucket list is to join the army. Since childhood I have been really interested in becoming a soldier. The discipline, loyalty, respect, and personal courage soldiers must possess motivates me. I would like to join US Army Corps of Engineers, among other things, they develop computer software for hydrologic engineering.

Traveling is my passion. I would like to travel all seven continents. I like to learn other cultures, taste different foods, learn languages, meet new people, and gain more knowledge by doing so.

Skydiving is one of my favorite sports which I have yet to experience. Jumping from an aircraft and performing acrobatic maneuvers in the air during free fall before pulling the ripcord is awesome. I would like to experience it from the bottom of my heart.

My bucket list is not that exaggerated and long, but I believe that if I put in all of my efforts I can achieve every one of these goals and be successful in life. Finally, I only have one life and I need to do something great and interesting with it!
