Bucket List for Ma Life

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." ~James Dean

Today in my public speaking class we each had to deliver our final lecture. This lecture was to exemplify what we would want the world to know if this were to be our last day; a final legacy. As I sat listening to the passion and each personal life experiences of each individual, I began to think of what I want to accomplish before my ticker bites the dust. I have compiled a bucket list for my life.

1. Set foot on each of the seven continents and travel extensively.
2. Be fluent in another language.
3.Climb one of the world's seven summits.
4. Get accepted, attend, and graduate with honors from medical school.
5. Cure amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). 
6. Surf.
7. Adopt at least one child from a foreign country.
8. Donate at least one organ, all if they are usable.
9. Save a life.
10. Scuba in the Great Barrier Reef.
11. Photograph an endangered species.
12. Add some color to the family (hint: Chocolate)
13. Skydive.
14. Shake hands with someone who has truly changed a country for the better.
15. Run a marathon.
16. Learn to play the guitar and then own at it.
17. Fall in love in a foreign country.
18. Take up photography.
19. Change a life.
20. Publish a book.
21. Learn to fly a plane and be licensed.
22. Be world-renowned.
23. Raise a happy and healthy family.
24. Experience weightlessness.
25. Complete a triathlon.

These are in no particular order and most certainly not in order of my priorities. I will add to the list as I discover new adventures that I want to embark on. Life has so many possibilities and it is too short to waste in meaningless experiences. I love life.

Love always,
