I have so many things that I would love to do before I die, some of them (in random order) include:
1. Go sky diving
2. Travel around the world
3. Start my own successful PR firm
4. Get married and have children
5. Send my dad on a well deserved vacation
6. Go to times square for new years
7. Visit the olympics
8. Enter a triathalon
9. Climb a mountain
10. Learn how to snowboard
11. Scuba dive
12. Own a luxurious sports car
13. Start my own charity
14. Write a book
15. Learn how to sing
Those are just a few of the things I could think of at the moment. The thing that I most want to be remembered for is making a difference in the lives of others. I don’t want to one day be too sick or old and look back on my life wishing I had done more. I want to be known for bringing good things to this world, being a face that has brightened the lives of others, being a positive impact on someone who desperately needed it. I want to leave this life knowing that I have done a large amount of good, never taking anything I have for granted. So many people sit around wanting to do something, but never having the courage or strength to do it. There are so many opportunities to give back and so many people that need us to do it. I want to die knowing I used my health and my strength to impact the world. That is what I want to accomplish most in my life.
Looking at other people’s stuff, going skydiving seems to be in a lot of peoples goals. I’ve always wanted to go bungee jumping though. Not sure if that’s better or worse.
I think your goal in life, wanting to be remembered for doing something great is wonderful. I hope you achieve it and that you help make this world a better place.

Great list! I didn’t think to choose Times Square for NYE, entering a triathlon, and learning to sing, but I would have now that you mention it! Good luck with your book-writing and charity-starting; those are also two goals I have. Anyway, good luck on finals and have a great summer!
