Bucket List: Deziray Elkins

As an honors student at Southern Arkansas University, I plan to graduate with a bachelor's degree in nursing. I would then like to further my education by receiving my license as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. 

Besides school and work, I have a few other things I would like to do in the future. One of those things includes skydiving! I would like to do other things that fall into that category as well, such as ziplining and bungee jumping. 

Because I have not traveled much in my 18 years of life, I want to travel to all 50 states. I would also like to visit a few places outside of the United States such as Mexico, Italy, and Egypt. The main reason is so I can try new foods! 

I used to play tennis and softball, so I would like to get back into those or maybe even learn to play a new sport. Being able to surf would be cool, however I do not have good balance. 

Art has always been a big part of who I am, but lately I have not been in touch with my artistic side. Getting back into that is on my bucket list as well. I have always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, mainly the guitar. 

I want to be financially stable enough to build my own house and have a lot of pets. Getting married and starting a family is also something that I would love to do. I want to be fit and healthy, along with kicking my bad habits. Finally, I would love to be able to support my family, especially my Granny, financially and emotionally.
