Assignment 18 - Lauren Chatfield

As long as I can remember, I have loved the idea of bucket lists. I would compose pages and pages of things I'd like to do from a very young age. I love having goals and things to look forward to in my future. 

Before graduating high school, I'd like to become more comfortable in my own skin. I've always had trouble with accepting myself for who I am which has significantly hurt my mental health. While I do find it important to have goals and work towards bettering yourself, liking who you are is such an important baseline for any improvement. Before I graduate high school, I'd like to develop this skill. 

Before I finish college, I'd like to simply find a career that will make me happy. So many people get so swept up in wanting more money to buy more things to be happier and I hope I never get trapped in that. I hope that before I graduate I find something I can enjoy that I am capable of being happy with forever.

Before I die, I'd like to make people happy. I have so many people in my life that have impacted me so much and all I hope is that before I die I can change at least one life. In my mom's job, I have seen her completely change the course of students lives and I hope I can change lives too. I don't know if I'll be a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, or whatever else comes my way but I do hope I can make a difference. Very cliche but I just want to change someone.
