Bucket List: Jonathan Mitchell

 

My bucket list has grown and developed over the years. As it stands, I would like to go on a medical mission trip at some point. It would be a great experience to go to an underprivileged country and witness what life is like for those people. Being able to help them would be very fulfilling. This would allow me to better understand people and their struggles. I would hope that after the trip, I would have more empathy for those around me. Also, I plan to go snowboarding in Switzerland. I began snowboarding at a young age and would love to experience the beauty of the Alps. Solo skydiving is another dream of mine. I’ve been skydiving with another person with me, but never alone. I used to be terrified of heights, but now I at ease no matter how high or close to a ledge I am. Jumping out of a plane alone would prove to myself that I can overcome any fear. Physically, I want to be in a condition that allows me to run a marathon. I enjoy running, but it is difficult to find time to run as long as I would like. Bora Bora is on top of my tropical destination list. It would be a great place to relax for a while.
