Bucket List: Andy Hua

 Like many others, I have long-term aspirations and goals I would love to achieve during my life. Some of these goals are a cakewalk while others will be ambitious, taking much of my time and dedication. My bucket list is composed of nothing too grand or extreme, just what I deem as important for my life that will fulfill my happiness, satisfaction, and accomplishment in my work and myself as a person.


As an aspiring software engineer, one of the larger goals on my bucket list is to be offered a full-time job at a tech company after graduating college that allows me to live a sustainable and productive life by doing what I love. With that, I must achieve the multiple checkpoints within that goal such as doing well in school, gaining experience from internships, and graduating with a degree. With this job, I wish to make and save enough to support my current and future family, especially my mom.


One of my other large goals on my bucket list is to travel East and Southeast Asia. As an Asian-American immigrant born in Vietnam, I wish to venture around these parts of Asia and experience these fascinating cultures, especially Vietnam, now that I have grown to be mature to greatly appreciate them.


Lastly, I have a minor, yet important, goal on my bucket list which relates to my passion for music and as a percussionist. I want to be offered a contract to march in a Drum Corps International group. It is a great honor and accomplishment that I wish to achieve in order to partake in an activity super renowned in the music world.
