Bucket List: Teressa Hedglin

 

Everyone has a bucket list – at least in their hearts – starting when they are children. I have never written down what I want to accomplish before I die. I have always felt like if I focus on what is right ahead of me, it will lead me to the next step. Thus far, this technique has worked out great for me, and I feel I am on the right track! However, I do still have these long-term goals in mind. 

I have a few goals for my future family and home life. I would like to travel the world with my children, though that sounds stressful, and let them experience many different cultures while they are young. When my family has settled down, I would like to have a nice spacious home for my children to grow up in. I dream of raising a healthy family. I would also like to have a variety of animals such as a mastiff dog, hamster, hedgehog, snake, and more. 

I have big dreams as far as my work goals go. The first thing I want to do after I get my Bachelor’s degree in Music Education is direct while teaching music theory classes at a high school. I also plan to sell my musical compositions throughout my career to bands and orchestras to perform. While I am directing at my high school, I will be getting my Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Music Theory and Composition. With these degrees, I will be directing and teaching music theory at a college. Number one on my bucket list is to direct a Drum Corps International (DCI) band one day. They travel the world performing shows for millions of people daily. Travelling the world doing what I love sounds like bliss to me.
