Author's Note
 
I believe everyone agrees with me when I say, life should be lived to the absolute fullest. I want to go out and travel for months on end and just forget about reality for a little bit. I want to see the world different ways. I want to see the world through other people's perspectives. I just want to see the world. Yes, I created this bucket list for an English project, but I'm going to continue crossing off and adding things to my list way down the road. This project has opened my eyes and made me realize that I can go out and achieve anything I want to with the right mindset and a thought out plan. I come from a family who loves to travel, just not anywhere outside of North America, sadly. But this spring break I'm actually going somewhere tropical, the Bahamas! I'm really excited for this trip because it'll be the first time I leave North America. I know the Bahamas is only an hour away from Florida, but even though it's a small start, it's a start.
 
 
What Now?
 
There are many things on my list that I'm eager to cross off, but the one thing I'm aiming for right now is to be able to study at the University of British Columbia. I know it's going to be expensive, but in February I'll be going away for a soccer tournament and there will be scouts from a couple of universities, including one from UBC, coming watching my team play. I'm hoping that my drive, hard work, and desire to be the best on the field and off the field will help with my chances of getting a scholarship. Even just to get a chance to meet and talk with her about scholarships, because that would really give me that extra push to help cross this off my list! Getting a scholarship to play soccer at UBC could also potentially help me with crossing off number 65 on my bucket list, which is win a championship.

  3. Great video your song was sick, and the layout was pretty new and I enjoyed it. Also the annoying animoto logo wasn't at the end of your video unlike all the other ones !

  5. I actually liked the song you chose for your video, at first I didn't think I would but after it started playing I did. I thought that your theme made it a little hard to read and see your visuals but than that it was well done

  14. I like the kind of rustic theme you chose. I like how it switched up how everything was represented it kept your attention on all the points you had included.
