Swift, Mark: Bucket List


         The first item on my bucket list is starting my own business. I have always dreamed of creating and selling my own products for others to use. Finding ways to make everyday tasks easier has been a goal of mine from a very young age. Searching for ways to fix problems has always been an enjoyment of mine, and I’d love to share my ideas with people in the future.

         Another item on my bucket list would be to visit every major league baseball park in the American and National leagues. Baseball has also been a passion of mine from a very young age. So, it is no surprise that I would jump at any opportunity involving traveling to baseball stadiums. Fortunately, I am a pitcher on the SAU baseball team. With a little bit of luck, I could end up playing at some of these stadiums one day. Until then, I will keep saving money to go on the experience of a lifetime.

         While I’m on the topic of traveling, I have always found myself daydreaming about visiting Europe one day. I have always been intrigued by the history of the European Theater of World War II. I would like to visit one day some of the battlefields and memorials in Europe. At the same time I'd explore many of the other historical landmarks that are spread across the continent.

            My final item on my bucket list would be to skydive. Many friends have done this before and they claim it to be the single most exhilarating event of their lives. Heights have never bothered me, but I’m still not too sure how I feel about jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with just a parachute to protect me.
