1. Travel to Africa
When I was a little kid I thought everyone watched nature programs on Animal Planet but I was wrong. Instead of staying up late to watch Hannah Montana or any other kid show. I stayed up to watch Meerkat Manor, Big Cat Diary, and all the new episodes of Planet Earth. When I finally realized I was the only 3rd grader watching these programs I also realized I was absolutely obsessed with animals. Especially those in Africa, it had my favorite animals such as cheetahs, lions, meerkats, and hyenas. My dream is to save up enough money and go on a safari at a nature preserve called the Masai Mara in Kenya Africa, this nature reserve is known for the great amount of rare animals that call this place home.

2. Swimming with Sharks and Whales
My parents took me to the Florida Aquarium when I was probably 8 and saw a man in a cage with an 11 foot shark swimming around him. Jokingly the women working there said to me and a group of other children, who would like to join him and experience being dinner for a shark. My hand shot up, I have never been so mesmerized by something before. Than after seeing a guy in Australia on T.V. do the same with a great white shark I was convinced that’s what I want to do.

I was lucky enough to go whale watching in New Jersey I got to spend sometime seeing some of the world's largest mammals it was so cool. We saw Humpback whales and Pilot whales diving down into the depths and smacking their fins against the waves. That memory has forever been ingrained into my mind my parents agreed that when I am old enough they would look into me finding a place where you are allowed to swim with whales.
3. Travel to Each Continent
Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, North America, Australia, and Antarctica are the 7 continents of the world. I would love to see all different kinds of cultures and meet all different kinds of people. I have visited Europe a few times to see family, I was absolutely fascinated by the old buildings and the history surrounding all the different cities we went to. I can’t even imagine all the different cultures in this world that I haven't seen personally and all the beautiful sites around the world.

4. Buying/Naming a Star
Stars mean a lot to me they represent family, let me explain. From anywhere you are you are seeing the same stars as someone 1,000 miles away. I’m a little bit of a nerd when it comes to stars I just think it's fascinating that any star (besides our sun) is being seen thousands of years ago because it takes so long for the light to reach this planet.

5. Seeing the Firefly Squid
I’m not quite sure how many people actually know this exists but I found out about it about 2 years ago and it was so cool that I wrote it down in my notes on my computer so I wouldn’t forget. From what I know Firefly Squid are about 3 inches long and glow to attract small fish to eat. In Toyama Bay Japan during the months of March and May they convene together to release their eggs lighting up the bay. It's a truly amazing sight and one I think everyone should see!
