Everyone has a variety of things they would like to accomplish in their lives before they die. Death is something people fear to think about. Some people may fear death because when you think of it, you notice the number of things you have not done and always dreamed of doing. Many people want to live their lives to the fullest, even if that results in jumping off bridges or jumping out of planes. Before I die I want to fly around the world in a private jet, go to England, have a family, create an optometry center, and zip line across a jungle.

First of all, I want to fly around the world in a private jet. Just to capture the beauties of the world would be a breath taking experience. Being able to see everything from a bird's eye view and having the ability to look out the window see the world. Seeing all the civilizations and all the water, everything just seemed like a dream, or just my imagination. It feels like an enormous painting of the blues of the water and greens of the trees and whatever other colors there could be. Even just to fly over the north or south poles get a glimpse of the glaciers and mountains and to see the Great Wall of China, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Eiffel Tower and much more.

Also, before I die, I would like to go to England. My father was born in Gloucester, England and I want to see where he grew up. In addition, I have relatives that are living there that I would like to meet. England just seems different from the United States and would be an extremely interesting experience. For example, seeing the castles, the King and Queen, Big Ben, and then just to listen to the British accent would give me a sense of how life is there and how it was for my father.

In addition, I would like to get married and have a family. Life is full of phases and these two aspects of life make it the most enjoyable. To find a spouse who is willing to love you till their death and always have their support when needed. Then to have a family with the person you love and to raise your children together. It will be a great feeling to have and hold that baby and know it is yours. Even though you are now responsible for someone other than yourself, you realize how responsible you need to be. Even though being a parent is not easy it comes with one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Before I die, I would like to create an optometry center. This building would house a great number of optometrists and the latest equipment to further research. The creation of the center can also lead to devolvement of new theories to allow blind people to see again. This building can bring optometry to the next level and into a future with many new treatments. This center could give people a new beginning and to be able to get back their vision they had lost in the past. I would make this center in honor of my brother, because he lost vision in his eye. His loss made me realize that maybe there could be a way to get his vision back so he can go back to living his life like he used to, along with the many other people who have lost their vision.

Nevertheless, I want to zip line across a jungle. It gives you this feeling of your stomach dropping and a rush of adrenaline when you are going through the jungle. It is almost like a roller coaster or as if u were flying like superman for a few minutes. You get this feeling that you are on the top of the world because you can see everything is beneath you. I would like to zip line through a jungle, because it seems so exotic and unrealistic. It is a way to do something bizarre without putting a real risk to your life.

Before I die, I want to accomplish as many things I can and make the best of the limited time I have on Earth. I want to fly around the world and see all the sights our world has to offer. I want to go to England and meet my relatives and see where my father grew up and experience their way of living. Also, I want to get married and have a family, even though raising children can bring many ups and downs, overall it brings feelings of happiness and joy. In addition, I want to build an optometry center in my brother’s honor to find new treatments and theories to get a patient’s vision back. Not only do I want to create an optometry center, I want to zip line through the jungle. Zip lining through the jungle may sound unrealistic, but you achieve a feeling of being on top of the world. Before I die, I want to accomplish as much as I can, and live everyday as if I were to die tomorrow, because we never know when that day will be.
