Many people say they want to acheive certain things before their time on this earth is over. My sister wrote a list in high school of all the things she wanted to do before her time was over, that list changed as she grew into a woman and I realized all the things that I want to acheive. I know that this list will grow longer as I age, but for now it is a start. As the years pass I hope to be able to cross off everything on my list. I encourage everyone to write a list as well. You will be surprised at some of the smallest and largest things you want to happen in your lifetime. Things to look back upon and say "I truly lived".
