Everyone has a list of goals or achievements they want to reach before the final stage of their life. It’s about making sure your life has been fulfilled to all its potential and about experiencing new things. I have many things on my bucket list that all involve seeing something for the first time or accomplishing something important to me. Items on your own list can range from simple everyday things to big dreams.
