This is a colorful list of all the stuff I want to accomplish in my lifetime. Rather than calling it a bucket list which I find depressing, I’m calling mine a 100 before 100 list.
First things first…
- I’ll write a book. This isn’t a someday scenario. This WILL happen. It has to. I have all this characters and stories in my head that I have to get out of my system. They may not be any good and they’ll probably not sell but at least they’ll be out there.
- I’d love to teach. To be able to give understanding to little minds, to inspire them, to make a difference in their lives. One way or another, when you teach, you are changing the world, one little mind at a time.
- Make a difference with my medical degree. I won’t just be a regular doctor. I want to do something spectacular. I haven’t figured it out yet but I will.
- Make my parents proud. They take good care of me and one day I’ll make them proud of me.
