My Bucket List

Goal setting is something very important to me and that I follow. There are so many things I need to achieve so I can do other things in life that I actually want to do. Planning helps me achieve those goals.

I've had goals in the past, such as graduating high school and going to college. Now that I am in college I have more specific goals. Some are maintaining good grades, balance school work, social life, and a job, find a major I enjoy so that I can someday have a job that I love. As of now the main goal in college is to find an major that is right for me.

After college is done and my new life starts, I want to get married, have children, buy a house, find an amazing house, and enjoy going out or hanging out with my friends and family. After all those goals have been made, I would like to expand my bucket list to things I like or enjoy. Such as traveling to other countries to see what farm life is, run a marathon, swim in the ocean, be on TV, meet someone really famous, buy a ranch, and live life to the fullest.

I hope that my bucket list continues to expand, because the future holds so many surprises and I'm always ready for a surprise.

I never though it would happen. My mom called me and told me she was going to have a kidney transplant. I was so happy for her but at the same time I was scared. She told me how the process worked. To me it seemed long and difficult. I was going to be without a mom for almost three months. During the time she was gone I did my best to take care, help, and love my family.

My mom was always there to do the laundry and to make us meals. Now she was going to be gone for almost three months. My sister and I decided we would have to take turns doing both of those things. It was something we had to do. I believe I did my best to take care of my family through the obstacle my family had to face.

Since my mom was in Rochester and we were at home, there was no one to help us out with remembering things and being responsible for things. I  chose to watch out for and help my sister with her things. In return she did her best to help me. It was a challenge but I dont think I could of done it any better. It felt good to know that I was helping my sister out with things.

The hardest part about the whole situation was that my mom was not there to physcially love my family and I. So my family decided the only way to fill us with her love was to love each other even more. Just by saying loving each other, the process was alot easier to handle. My family and I got through it and I believe we were at our best to accomplish that.

It was a long journey for my family and I but we all survived it. It took us through obstacles and challenges but its only made us stronger. I believe we got through it, because we all did our best to find ways to work things out.
