opportunities we have and the opportunities we can create for ourselves.

Part One: Fast Forward
You are in high school. In just a couple years, you will be out of
high school. Crazy, huh? What I want you to do is think about that. Think about the next 10 years. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?

In at least 10
sentences, contemplate these “What do you want to be when you grow up”
questions:
• What do you want to be doing in 10 years?
• What type of career will you have?

Lake?

do?
• Would you work at a job you didn’t like if it paid you
more money?

• Would you want a job in which two days are never the
same?
• Dog? Cat? Chickens?
Cows? Marriage? Children?
4-wheeler? Boat? Lawn?
Astro-turf?
Part
Two: The Bucket List
Why have a bucket list? If you don’t live your days by
personal goals and plans, chances are you spend most of your time caught up in
a flurry of day-to-day activities. Ever feel your days are passing by without
any real purpose? What were your accomplishments in the past 3 months? What are
your upcoming goals for the next 3 months? Look
at the things you did and the things you’re planning to do next – would they
mean anything to you if you were going to die today?
Having a bucket list reminds you of what’s really
important so you can act on it. The whole point of a bucket list is to maximize
every moment of your existence and live your life to the fullest. It’s a
reminder of all the things you want to achieve in your time here, so instead of
wasting your time in pointless activities, you’re directing it fully toward
what matters to you.
Now, we need to
really think about the “Big Picture.”
INSTRUCTIONS- Students you need to...
In at least 3 to 4 paragraphs think forward
to when you are 95 years old, sitting on your porch swing and reflecting on
your life. What is on your “Bucket List”
that you will be thinking about on that porch? Remember to use proper language conventions, grammar, spelling, and organization of ideas.
Here
are some questions to think about when creating your Bucket List.
• What if you were to die tomorrow? What would you wish
you could do today?
• What have you always wanted to do but have not done yet?
• What would you do if you have unlimited time, money and
resources?
• Any countries, places or locations you want to visit?
• What are your biggest goals and dreams?
• What do you want to see in person?
• What achievements do you want to have?
• What experiences do you want to have / feel?
• Are there any special moments you want to witness?
• What activities or skills do you want to learn or try
out?
• What are the most important things you can ever do?
• What would you like to say/do together with other
people? People you love? Family? Friends?
• Are there any specific people you want to meet in
person?
• What do you want to achieve in the different areas:
social, love, family, career, finance, health, spiritual?
• What do you need to do to lead a life of the greatest
meaning?
