Weaver, Shelby: Bucket List


I have never written my bucket list down, it has always been a thought that I occasionally have every time I add to it. The list that is ever evolving in my head has never had any real order to it either, but I have always had one item that I always think about so I guess it has priority over the other items. It will probably take me a lifetime to accomplish it but before it kick the bucket I hope to rodeo in all fifty states. Although I am not sure if they have any in Alaska, I certainly have not heard of any but maybe that will change by the time I get there. I do know they have rodeos in Hawaii, I just haven’t figured out how to come up with the money to get my horse there. But I am well on my way to this goal and SAU has been a big part of helping me get closer. Which is a reason why I chose to come here to SAU. I knew that I would get to rodeo in Arkansas, of course, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Mississippi for my college rodeos. Last year was my first time to rodeo in all those state and I loved every second of it. Before I came to college I competed a lot in Oklahoma being my home state, twice in Texas and three times in Wyoming. So at the age of 19 I only have 41 states left to go. And I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
