My Bucket List

                I don’t have a bucket list but if I was to have one, it would probably consist of three major things that I would want to do in my life.  These things would have to be encounters or achievements that no one has ever done before.  For example, I have been to Machu Picchu and this is amazing to me and to most people.  However, there have been many other people that have been to Machu Picchu and some people who even life there.  This is why it would not be on my bucket list, although I will remember it for the rest of my life.  If I was to have a bucket list, it would consist of things that almost no one has done.  Some people may say skydiving would be on their list.  There have been so many people who skydive.  Everyday there are probably over one thousand people who do it.  Wouldn’t you want to do things that only a few number of people have done?

                The first thing that would be on my bucket list would be to experience zero gravity.  There have been a lot of people who have, but not a huge number.  You don’t have to go up in space to experience zero gravity; there is a plane that flies with maneuvers that use physics to create a zero gravity effect.  This means that I won’t have to pay all that money to go up in space, but instead, I could pay a smaller amount to experience zero gravity while in our atmosphere.  The first thing that I would do would be to pour out water and drink it in the air.  Then I would have fun with back flips, lifting huge weights, and all sorts of things.

                The second thing on my bucket list would be to fly off a steep mountain in a flying squirrel suit.  I don’t know exactly what they call it, but I have heard that name being used.  This suit has webbed fabric from your hands to your waist and also in between your whole legs.   This webbed fabric allows you to pull your arms and legs out to create a gliding effect,

but also to contract them close to your body to pick up speed and dive.  To do this would be very dangerous and you would need a lot of practice before attempting.  Only stunt masters can handle the maneuvering methods that are necessary in flying with a flying squirrel suit.  I would want to do this because it would be so fun and that would probably be the closest thing to flying by myself that I would come to.  I have seen videos of this being done and it looks amazing.  You can dive, pick up speed, and then expand and let the wind coming up underneath you sweep you up and through the air.  Ever since I have seen this, I have always wanted to try it someday.

                The final thing that I would have on my bucket list would be kind of cheesy, but it is true.  I would want to have raised a perfect family.  I know perfect is impossible, but perfect in my eyes is.  If I can raise a family that is the most important thing to me in the world, I would have completed my life.   A family of my own would be the most important thing that I would have in my life, and that is why it would be the third thing on my bucket list.  The third thing is the most important.  And after I have tried and attempted the other two, the third will be waiting for me.  Although I do not have a bucket list, these three things would probably be on it if I had had one.
