Bucket List: Roger Ward

 

Before, I had never thought of writing a bucket list but had heard of them, but when younger I did not see the point. Now, I realize their logic. Growing up and getting a job used to be  far-off, but now both are closer and closer. My bucket list is not extensive but it lays out my plans for life.

            My main goal is to graduate college completely debt free. I am set up for that, but I know that I need to keep working extra hard to make that future a reality. Before I graduate though, I want to get a summer internship with Intel, Google, The FBI, or Tesla. I am majoring in computer science and am leaning into data analytics or cyber security. If I can secure one or more of these internships I will have good experience before I graduate and, hopefully, a way in for a job with those organizations.  My final career/lifestyle goal is to just make enough money to buy a small house with internet so that I could potentially work from home.

            Some more of my fun focused goals is to relearn piano, to travel and to cook. I took piano lessons when I was 7 to 9 but then I dropped out; I regret it every day. I still love music and know how to read it; I just need to practice it more. I also plan to travel the world. Some places that I want to go first are France, Japan, and Switzerland. I want to be able to see all of the great sites in these countries and experience their culture in ways such as music and food. I would like  to learn more cooking skills from these places, because I love to cook in my free time. My favorite style of cooking is Japanese and I think it would be really cool to visit Japan and see how authentic Japanese food is made and maybe learn a few things while I am there.
