Buckets and buckets- Mckenna Elliott

Before I finish high school: 

1. Read 50 books

This is the most important one on this list because I have so much to learn, and I'm only a junior so I have so much time to enrich my mind to the fullest with information. I have a newfound interest in books because they give me feelings that the real world cannot and help me discover new things about myself. When I read, it seems as though I have no stresses or worries or cares in the world. Due to the fact that I have been, and will be, reading many types and genres of books, they will teach me how to deal with many situations in the real world. It is one of my coping techniques. Therefore, reading 50 books before next May when I graduate will be beneficial to my mind, body, and soul. 

2. Visit nursing homes and learn about ailments 

3. Do hot yoga

4. Go to a Buddhist or Jewish church or ceremony to learn about the religion firsthand

5. Meditate

6. Get in touch with my soul

7. Go camping at the Gorge

8. Road trip with my friends 

9. Do something nice for someone I don't know 

10. Clear 9'0" in pole vault

Before I finish college: 

1. Figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life!!!!!!!!

This is the priority of this list because every day I get stressed out because within the next 2-3 years, I need to know what I want to do for the rest of my life. This scares me because I am only 16 and I am being faced with decisions that could affect the course of the rest of my life. I want to be able to painlessly choose my profession, and I hope that once the time comes, I won't have to choose, but I will just know what I want to do.  

2. Test out sorority life (even if it were just for a little while)

3. Discover all genres of books and read them so that maybe I will be able to find who I am in college

Life bucket list:

1. Visit at least 10 famous historic sites around the world.

This is the most important thing on my life bucket list because I love learning about 20th century American history, as well as world history at that time. By the time I am old enough and have enough funds to do this, there will be even more historic sites around the world to be visited. It would be awesome if I were able to do this because I would be able to travel and see the world, as well as enrichm my mind. 

2. Figure out a way to repay my parents for all they've done

3. Live in Florida 

4. Go on a cruise around the world

5. Visit every European country
