Staley, Cody: Bucket List


                  At some point everyone dies, but before I die there are a few things I wish to accomplish. Among my goals I have dreams of traveling many different places and going on larger than life adventures. Some of the places I would like to travel include Europe and its major cities: Moscow, Beijing, Tokyo, Jerusalem, Chernobyl, and Easter Island. As for Adventure I’d like to trek through the rainforest, walk along the Great Wall, climb part-way up Mt. Everest, go skydiving in a wingsuit, and scuba dive at the Great Barrier Reef. I have many lofty and not likely goals I wish to accomplish within my lifetime, however I also have many reasonable goals I wish to complete.
                  Before I die there are some things I absolutely need to accomplish to feel satisfied. Sometime within the next ten years I want to start a family and have a stable well paid job. I want to make enough money that I can care for my mother as she gets older. I want to invent something that changes the world for the better if only in some small way. Something I absolutely can’t die without learning is how to solve a Rubiks cube. Everyone has things that they want to accomplish before they die. Everyone should at some point take the time to write down a bucket list. Writing this bucket list has been a valuable use of my time and I encourage others to do so at their convenience.
