Bucket List: Dalton Grissom

 

Bucket lists have entertained and fascinated people for a long time. Such lists allow people to work on themselves and to plan future goals. After, they allow for reflection on what they have accomplished. I am at the beginning of my life and still have a lot to do. Below are a few things that I wish to do before I die. 

First, I would like to have kids and grandkids. I just want to experience the joy of bringing up a little one so much like me and passing along my stories to them. I feel this is the most important item on my list and by the end of the line I can look back fulfilled. In the same vein, I want to have my own land, not rented. A nice open field where my kids, grandkids, and maybe even great grandkids can run and play without a worry in the world would be ideal. 

The next item on my list is to start my own business. Whether it’s in the cybersecurity field or in the medical field, I want to have a nice business with many clients and to be well respected. I would love to have my own American Dream, start something from right here in college, work my tail off and grow an empire. 

My final item on my bucket list, one less meaningful to me, is to get a recreational pilot’s license. I’ve always loved planes and everything associated with them. Having one would be completely unrelated to my work but it would make me happy to get in my own plane and fly whenever I wanted.
