As a start, I want to ride in a hot air balloon. I have always felt afraid of heights and situations where I can’t easily escape, both of which are inevitable when riding in a hot air balloon. The action of riding in the air balloon isn’t just about the view or the feeling of the wind cold on my face- but the fact that were I to ride in one, I’d have conquered my fears and not allowed them to control me.
On a more serious note, I want to graduate college. Twice. Neither of my parents have attended college, making me the first to have the chance to graduate. I want to feed my ambitions like a flame by getting as much knowledge under my belt as possible. I plan to graduate with my first degree in computer science, and my second in pathology. Both of these things have interested me since I was a 10 year old, learning to do basic block-coding on Scratch while watching video after video on epidemics and deadly diseases- I was a weird kid.
I want to travel to Japan. It’s as common a wish as any, but I find some nostalgia when thinking about Japan and how my dad would bring me home souvenirs from his deployments overseas. The cute dolls and Pokemon merch became a token for the joy I’d feel watching him walk through the door after months of no contact.
Overall, I want to live a life where I feel fully fulfilled and happy. My bucket list is due to change, as life ebbs and flows and my wants and dreams will as well. But I will never strive for a life that’s less than.
