Bucket List

Before I die there are many things I want to accomplish. All these things range from traveling across the world to starting a family and a career. So I have decided to categorize all the different things I want to accomplish in my life into three different categories: things that I can accomplish in five years, things that I want to be done in ten years, and things that I want to have done twenty years from now.

Most of the goals I want to have reached five years from now are all going to be academic and school related. The first and main thing that I want to have achieved five years is to graduate from San Jose State University with my degree in film/radio and television. To achieve this goal I am going to have to be vigilant and am going to have to make up a four or five year plan to take all the classes I need to graduate in this area. I am very notorious for procrastinating and like to usually put things off to the last minute, but if I am going to make this happen I am going to have to change my attitude towards work and am going to have to buckle down and get this all done. Also to graduate with this degree, I am going to have to pick out a minor in some area. That’s another thing I need to choose and need to stop procrastinating on. All in all I am not worried about how I am going to get this done, and thats because I know that I love film and that it is my passion to be a great cinematographer. I know that I will try hard and I will fight to get this goal accomplished.

In the next ten years from now, I want to be able to start my career within the film industry. My dream job is to be either a cinematographer or a director. I have always loved film and movies, and I know that if I try, and get into the film industry, I will succeed. Hopefully by this time, I will have learned all that I could from all my college classes. I also would really like to have met the girl of my dreams, and marry her by this time in my life. I know that it sounds extremely cliché, but I would really like to be able to start my family and I want to be able to have the main supporters in my life as soon as I start my career. I know that I will really need all the support I can get in the field of work I have chosen.

In twenty years from now, I want to be living comfortably in my own home with my own family and with my well paying job. I also will want to start traveling across the world. I want to visit New York, Boston, and then I want to move on to Europe. I basically want to know that I lived a good life and have done everything I have wanted to do in my lifetime.

All in all, I don’t want to achieve outrageous things before I die. All I want is a family and a career in film. Though there are things that would be cool to do like: skydiving and flying planes, I know that the things I need before I die are more important. I just want the simple things in life.
