What’s YOUR Top 20?

I made a list of twenty things I wanted to do before I died recently. One thing about teenagers our ages is that, we rarely ever think about death as a plausible occurrence. When we are young, we feel as if we can live forever. I don’t like to think of not being on this Earth, I rather think of an idea worth living for. After I read my “things before I die” to my mother she told me her list. Her list, I might add, is AWESOME!! However, you can decide that for yourself…

 1. Go to Wimbledon Tennis Tournament

2. Go to the Cannes and Sundace Film Festival

3. Go to Australia

4. See the Grand Canyon

5. See Old Faithful

6. Take a Cruise to an Island

7. Go to Brazil (preferably for Carnival)

8. Swim in Lake Tahoe

9. Stay in a hotel that cost $1000 a night

10. Visit the 7 Wonders of the world

11. Eat at the most famous restaurant in 10 major cities around the world

12. Meet Barack Obama

13. Take a train tour of Eastern Europe

14. Take a road trip across the US and Canada

15. Take a helicopter ride over Alaska

16. Take a bike ride through Ireland

17. Go to Bucking Ham Palace

18. Visit every island on the planet

19. See a live volcano

20. See all your children accomplish their dreams in life

My list, I suppose, happened to be pretty juvenile. It might have been my mother and I’s age difference. Most of the things I want to do, she had already done. The list above, are twenty things MOST people on this planet will never accomplish. My goal is to try to let my mother experience these things before she dies of either cancer or old age.

What are your top twenty???
