Bucket List: Kaleb Morrison

 

            When I ponder the concept of a bucket list, I find myself with bittersweet feelings. Bitter, because the loss of my life might wrench these plans from my grasp at any time, but sweet, for the idea that I can alter the list whenever, and should I live long enough, see them through.

 

            Firstly, I wish to further my education in the field of engineering. Having always had a passion for making things, I want to learn as much about the field of engineering as I possibly can. I am unsure precisely what direction my interests will take, nor do I yet know if I’ll pursue a graduate degree, or go directly into a job and get years of first-hand experience working and learning from my colleagues. In truth, I would be satisfied with either of these, and more so with both.

 

            Secondly, I wish to delve into the field of computer science, something which has captured my imagination in these past few years. I love and enjoy what little programming I have already done, and I wish to further my skills so that I can include computer programs of my own design in my engineered creations one day.

 

            Lastly, I wish to visit Switzerland. As I understand, it is a country which welcomes skilled workers, which I hope to be one day, and is praised for its quality of life. Most importantly of all, however, is its impeccable scenery. Whether I will visit or stay in the country is a decision I will have to leave to the future.
