Assignment 18 - Sarah

If I’m being honest the future scares me: so many possibilities, choices, and paths. I haven’t ever really thought of a specific bucket list before. I have general goals, like to be someone people can look up to or help someone get through a tough time. But as for specific goals while thinking about what I would answer to this blog post I came up with these things to start my bucket list.

1.       During my remaining year in high school I want to fly a kite. Although it sounds arbitrary and pointless, which it kind of is, I never have flown a kite and I think it could be a fun experience. I imagine having a picnic in a park and going kayaking and flying a kite. It would be a blast to have a time like that with my friends before I leave for college. I hope that if I do ever fly a kite it can be beautiful: something like a bird or butterfly or even one that is an odd geometrical shape. I hope I also get to do this with someone who has flown a kite before so that I have better odds of getting it to work.

2.       In college I hope to find a group of friends that I belong in. I have been fortunate enough to have a wonderful high school experience. I have found a family within the band program and my church and have many good friends in addition to those. In college I want to have the time of my life with people who I grow extremely close to and who accept me to be apart of their family. Although this isn’t necessarily one thing I can check off a list it is my goal for my time in college.

3.       I love to travel. My dad travels for work and so he often will take my whole family on vacation because he is so comfortable with the traveling process. I hope that before I die I can travel more. I want to hike, skydive, and scuba dive. But, the one thing I especially want to put on my bucket list is to see the Northern Lights. They are beautiful in pictures and I can’t even begin to imagine how beautiful they must look in person.
