Big and Small Bucket List

       Goals are what keep people going whether it would be waking up at a certain time or passing college with all A's. We make goals every day. One of my simpler goals is to wake up for class every day. I have set quite a few goals for my first year of college. I want to get all A's in every class. I would also like to stay out of trouble. These goals are like a small bucket list that is always changing once things are completed.

       The big bucket list pertains more to life over all. I want to pass college and get a good job so I can have all the toys I want like a four wheeler and a boat. A bucket list isn't just for material possession either. Usually the list has places to go and things to do. I want to someday go to Canada and Mexico. I would go to a European country but I have seen too many movies where they chop up just Americans over there.

       Designing and building my own house is also something I want to do so it has everything I want.  The house can be a challenging because it will cost a lot.  After all that I am still making my bucket list.  I don’t really have much I really want to do but probably have something when I get older.

The Moment

        The moments we remember are usually our best moments or where we shine.  Everyone has got one that they cherish.  These memories will never be forgotten no matter what.  I have quite a few of these memories that have to do with many things like sports.  I remember when I had three sacks in one game.
        I don't even remember who we were played that night.  I just remember the coach saying we need to get a stop here to get the ball back.  When he said that I just wanted to get out there and kill anyone with the ball.  This was my senior year so I did get to play defense on second and third downs when it was long.  I was a smaller D lineman only weighting 160 lbs.
        The reason I got to play on those downs because I was fast and a crazy tough son of a gun.  The season before that when I was a junior I broke my wrist with three games left.  I played those three games before I went to the doctor.  I ended up missing all of basketball in a cast.  I actually had that cast on for four and a half months.
        I was known on our team as the guy who felt no pain.  I was good at getting through the line when there was space.  The quarterback snapped the ball and I was off the line before my opponent.  They were passing the ball on 3rd and long.  I made it there beating my fellow D linemen and getting the sack.  I was not the only person who came in on these downs.  There was one other person.  We always made a bet to see who could make it to the QB first.  This made the sack that much better.  We were asked to do this two other times and were successful.
        I picked this moment because I was performing at the top of my game.  I did have a few other moments where I did good that season but I liked this one.  There was another time when I scooped and scored the winning touchdown in our season opener.  That was a great moment also.  That made me the leading scorer on our team for three weeks which is good for me but bad for the team.
        The moments where you are great will always be with you and bring you joy.  I plan to use the motivation as a challenge to complete my goals this semester and every semester.  I don't really got anymore to really say about that so if you got any question just comment.
