Bucket List: Vivica Carpenter

 

“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.” –Abraham Lincoln.

 Humans are not wired to be monotonous, instead, we are designed to be unpredictable, vivacious risk takers who defy all the rules. With the hassles of everyday life, however, it is quite common to start to slip into a repetitive and boring lifestyle. For this reason, it is becoming more popular for people to make a bucket list—a list of goals that one would like to accomplish before passing away. I believe that a bucket list should include goals that make you question yourself, question your sanity, and question why you didn’t decide to accomplish them sooner.

The first goal on my bucket list is to have one of my paintings or drawings showcased in an art museum. I have had a passion for art since I was a child, and I have always enjoyed inspiring others through my art. Having my artwork hung in a museum for thousands of people from all over the world to see is one of my biggest dreams.

Another goal I have listed is to travel to Egypt. My fascination with Egypt started the first time I watched the movie “The Mummy.” Ever since, I have dreamed of traveling there just to see the pyramids and to dig for undiscovered tombs and passageways.

My final goal on my bucket list is to create generational wealth for my family. I want to be sure that before I leave this earth, my family will be taken care of even decades after I am gone. If this is the only goal I get to cross off of my bucket list, I would still feel as if my life made a difference in someone else’s life.
