Bucket List: Paige Hudson

My bucket list would start off with the obvious goal of graduating from Southern Arkansas University with a four-year degree in my major, which is Modern Languages: English Education. I’d also like to minor in Music Education, which I’ll be fitting into my schedule next semester. 

Music is a very big part of my life, so another goal of mine is to be a part of an orchestra. It doesn’t matter which one, as long as I can play music. My main instrument, as it’s been my whole life, is the clarinet. A big goal of mine is to learn how to play every wind instrument, as well as piano and violin. 

A non-music related goal of mine is to travel. I haven’t really been out of Arkansas much, but I would love to travel to different countries and experience different cultures. I think I’d still like to live in Arkansas, though. Relating to my major, another goal of mine is to become a high school English teacher. I’d specifically like to teach AP English Literature and Composition, because my favorite part of English class has always been analyzing texts and writing essays. I’ve always been passionate about the arts, so pretty much every goal I have is related to things of that sort. 

I believe if I complete all of my art related goals, then that would make my life much more fulfilling by the time I die.
