I know my #1 for my high school list in very vague, but that's only because a lot goes into having a positive overall experience. I mainly want to be able to look back and say "yeah, it was fun", or really refer to these as the good old days. For me, achieving this goal includes participating in theater, hanging out with friends, watching movies, etc. I want my priority to be enjoyment, because for a long time I let school take over and obsessed over little things.  Taking a step back and just living life is what I want to do.

In college, I want to figure out what I want to do by taking classes in a lot of diverse areas. I appreciate the Academy, but I do feel like it has restricted me in my choices. I would've loved to take so many more classes at Henry Clay, but there simply wasn't room. In college I really want to figure out what I love, because I don't quite know yet. 

I feel like I have a really generic list... but that's okay. I think it's because the future is still really vague to me. I don't know what I want to do, but I want to love it. I want to wake up excited and go to bed satisfied. I was really close to putting go to the zoo and aquarium a lot at the top. I love the zoo and aquarium. I would love to learn more about all the animals and how I can help them. Maybe I'll even work at a zoo or aquarium. Who knows!
