Bucket List Madison Crow

 Since I was young, I have always loved traveling, but I have never been out of the country. I would love to travel to at least two different countries before I graduate. I would also like to try more food and drinks from different countries. Especially from countries such as Jamaica, Holland, and Germany. Along with this I would also like to learn more about these cultures in general. 

I would also like to spend more time in nature and see more sunrises. I have seen lots of sunsets but not as many sunrises. I would also like to read more books. I really enjoy reading but I don’t do it as often as I would like to. Something else I would like to do is work a bit more; I currently work as a CNA in a nursing home, and I love what I do and connecting with all the residents.

Writing is my passion. It always has been, and it always will be. Inspiration ignites like sparks when I open my laptop and write on Google Docs. The words that I key seem like they come to life, and I can't help but imagine what's going on right in front of me. When I read, it's like watching a movie with my own two eyes.

When I graduate, I plan to become an editor/author. More specifically, I wish to write short stories, novels, plays, and other types. I am also open to writing articles for news outlets. I also like looking at and revising people's work! 

 

During college, one of my main goals is to become a writing consultant. Helping other students while also doing what I love is like a dream to me. More than that, I want to go to Universal Studios to see the Harry Potter side of the park. Harry Potter always has been a source of inspiration. The dragons, the wands, the potions, the cloaks, the scenery surrounding me... what would be a better place than that? The magic is right in front of me! Literally! 

 

I hope to be able to write like some of my favorite authors such as Tricia Levenseller and Jenna Moreci. While my writing is more flowery and detailed, theirs is simpler and easier to read. They still leave room for imagination. Throughout and after college, my ultimate goal is to improve my writing skills, to simplify my writing and avoid unnecessary details.

 Though I have never written out a bucket list, I have had many thoughts over the years about what I would like to do before I “kick the bucket”. My biggest goal for now is to graduate college with a bachelor’s degree in vocal music education. 

After, I hope to continue on to find a job somewhere in a loving, safe community teaching high school choir. I also hope that somewhere in the mix, I find a loving and caring partner to spend my life with. One day I hope to have a big wedding with all of my friends, family and loved ones. One of my biggest dreams is to wear a big princess ball gown at my wedding to symbolize the end of my girlhood. 

I hope to travel to France, Italy, Switzerland, Thailand, Japan, England, and Scotland with my partner, family, or friends. (Not all at the same time of course!) Children have always been a dream of mine. I would like to have at least two or three. I hope to live long enough to have grandkids as well. Overall, the biggest thing on my bucket list is to enjoy life, have fun, and inspire people along the way.

My number one bucket list priority is to become a general dentist. I had thoughts of pursuing dentistry my sophomore year of high school but those never solidified it until my senior year. It’s about being able to perform different procedures, the environment, and the sound of the drill that just fascinates me. I am a first generation college student, so it motivates me to become the first doctor in my family.

      Becoming fluent in Spanish has been my lifelong dream. It'll officially be my third language that I can speak to help my future patients. I believe my pronunciation is already good, I just lack practice with other Spanish speakers. A downside is that I get motivated to learn Spanish, then stop completely. Hopefully, I will find the time to dedicate towards that goal again.

I would like to travel to other parts of the USA as well as to Montreal, London, Seoul, Paris, and Saigon. Traveling gives me a sense of peace. There’s a lot of beautiful scenery out there that I want to lay my eyes on. I also want to bring back lots of souvenirs from those places and try their cultural cuisines. Those are the types of experiences I like. 

In late 2017, I self-taught myself modern calligraphy. In high school, I wanted to be able to do more than just that, so I learned how to do Chicano script lettering. A side job that I want to pursue is becoming a tattoo artist and opening up my own place, specifically for lettering. I’m not the best, but decent at it. The process of lettering takes a while, but it’s very satisfying. If not a shop, I at least want to get a tattoo on somebody.

My bucket list contains 2 main parts: the current and the future. It is important to look ahead at what you want to do in life, but you should never forget about the present. My future goal is to become an orthopedic surgeon, perhaps working at a VA hospital, owning my practice, or some mix of both. However, this is far in the future at this point, so I must focus on my current schooling here at SAU where I intend to maintain a 4.0 GPA, become an officer of the Pre-Health Club, find shadowing or internships, and conduct research with a professor. I want to do this to place myself at UAMS where I shall aim to match in a residency either in Washington State or Colorado, I love the environment in both those states.

I firmly agree with the self-actualization and improvement that Alfred Maslow established, so I envision myself improving physically, mentally, and holistically as it would be an insult to myself to not live up to my potential. I must be better. I will build myself up by obtaining the physique I want through vigorous, consistent effort; I will nourish my body by making sure I maintain a healthy lifestyle; and I shall become a better person.

Together with my medical and personal aspirations, I will fulfill the need to help others, create a successful living, harbor a family, and live the life I want to live. I want to be able to say that I climbed a famous pitch such as El Capitan in Yosemite. I want to travel the world, especially to New Zealand and to Northern Europe where I could potentially have residences. I want to have a creative hobby such as writing a book. Basially, I want to improve myself and live the life I need to.

Since the 10th grade, I’ve been in musicals at my high school and at Magnolia Arts. I’ve been in so many, but I’ve only seen two: Esther at the Sight and Sound Theatre in Branson and Hadestown on Broadway in New York City. I would love to see more musicals before the end of next semester and especially before I graduate. There’s an opportunity to watch Dear Evan Hansen in The Robinson Theatre this week, but I’m not sure if I can make it. 

With my high school choir, we traveled every year. We’ve been to Chicago, New York, and this year we went to Hollywood. Because of choir, I love traveling, and although I’m not in the choir anymore, I would like to continue to travel. I want to visit Atlanta and Florida. My parents are traveling to Jamaica tomorrow for a couples’ retreat, and I am so jealous. They’ve made me realize how much I miss traveling every year. Traveling makes my stomach rumble. The thought of all the new foods and drinks makes my soul happy. 

Even if I don't get to travel anytime soon, I still want to try new foods. I have friends in town from different cultures who invite me for dinner and we’ll share dishes the others have never tried before. I’m friends with a faculty member's daughter and I love his curry and his wife’s salmon and onion soup. I aspire to continue filling my belly with good food, although it’s kind of hard being a broke college student.

I don’t really have a set plan for the future of my life yet, but I do have goals that I want to reach. I love being around people and having a positive impact on the people around me. I plan to have a job in finance that allows me to do that. Right now I am looking into financial planning. It appeals to me because I have always had an interest in investing and it also gives me opportunities to help with people's future. I want to be seen as a leader in the workplace and someone that is trustworthy.

I want to have a family that loves Christ and cares for one another. I need to be financially stable so I can support my future family's needs. I love traveling and going on vacation so I can’t wait to take my family on vacations like skiing, hiking or to the beach. I am a Christ follower, I want to reflect him and be a light to my family and everyone.

I have always loved outdoor activities like hunting and fishing. I would love to live in the country on a lot of land where I can do all those things. Hunting and fishing give me relaxation and an escape from stressful situations. There is nothing like the feeling of when a big buck walks out in front of you, it is one of the most exciting experiences in life. I've always wanted the opportunity to elk hunt, so I hope to do that in the future. I hope to always be involved with the great outdoors and for it to be a big part of my life in the future.
