Despite my cautious attitudes towards ambitious undertakings, I have nevertheless generated a bucket list of my own for goals I would really like to accomplish in my life. For now, I will focus on those goals I would like to accomplish before graduating from high schools. I already accomplished one of these goals by making the Henry Clay Baseball team last year, yet I still have numerous endeavors left unfulfilled. For instance, before graduating from high school, I would like to make the cross country varsity team (as opposed to the junior varsity team in which I have been a member fro the past three years). I would also like to compete in a hot dog eating contest, or something else ridiculous of that nature.
My high school bucket list is rather boring—I must admit. My college ambitions, however, are anything but uninteresting. Before I finish college, I hope I will have become amazingly awesome at guitar, reveling in my newfound ability to jam to my favorite rock anthems. I would also like to travel across this vast country by motorcycle and experience life on the road in other states, with nothing but a few meager essentials and sanitary supplies, money, and a restless need for adventure without the heavy burdens of responsibility. Lastly, a mullet or a beard would be sweet.
As for general ambitions that I wish to accomplish at some point in my life, I would like to go mountain hiking with my dad; we have been planning this trip for a while now, so it might even happen before I graduate from college. Far more ambitious than my desire for traveling across America, I would like, at some point in time, to travel to various important sights and cities across the globe. Basically, I'm a dreamer who yearns to experience it all, although this is in no way anything to feel ashamed of. To quote a great man with a similar longing for adventure, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."—Ferris Bueller, Ferris Bueller's Day Off
