Bucket List: Leah Wells

 

            Death and fear are concepts commonly considered as the greatest causes of loss. Bucket lists were created to combat the fear of death as a person’s specific goals transformed death’s despairing loss-of-time into life’s hopeful time-spent-well. A bucket list’s primary purpose is to be a list of accomplishments in life in order to avoid a list of regrets before death.

            When considering my list, I realized that the important goal was to live a fulfilling life filled with love and joy. To attain that goal, I first need to complete college and begin an occupation that will be both sustaining and enjoyable. With this career, I hope to be someone influential and trustworthy to others. After becoming self-sufficient and spending some time orienting myself to a new life, I hope to start a loving family which thrives in a comfortable, loving environment. I hope to be able to raise my children to be kind individuals capable of sharing their love with others. As I think of my future family, my greatest wish is to be a good mother and a loving wife. I also hope to be able to travel and learn about the lifestyles of different people. My parents and I love traveling and learning about new destinations we visit. I wish for traveling to become a hobby which I can enjoy with my future family.

            I also wish to grow personally, to grow into a person who readily helps and encourages others. My greatest wish overall is to become a loving, trusting person and to follow God’s plan for my life.
