South East students speak of their own “bucket lists."
SEHS students share their idea for what they would like to do before they die. This is the ultimate question that many humans think about. Still some never think of it, while others think of this question daily.
For those who consider this question daily, “Carpe Diem” is the motto they live by. They hesitate to wonder what the future might be like, because they know anything can happen in a mere second.
Students at SEHS have far more interesting goals for their future than just achieving the obvious. “Before I die I want to take a vacation at the Maldives Islands,” said Erick Valdez, a junior at SEHS. The Maldives are some beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean.
Valdez is setting a high goal for himself in his own idealistic future and setting himself for excellence in his high school career.
Andrea Chavez, a junior said, “I want to be a Sumo Wrestler and make a big house for homeless people.” Both of Chavez’s ideas are inspiring. It’s surprising to some in California to hear that a high school student wants to be a Sumo Wrestler before their death. The fact that she wants to help homeless people is very caring and humanitarian to do so. Its not so often that one meets people who wonder what its like to be a Sumo Wrestler and willing to try it.
Blanca Siodia, a junior said, “I want to crowd surf before I die.” It could be something very simple for some, but for siordia it is a goal to achieve before her time runs out. Marianna Reynoso, a senior, said, “I want to bungee jump off a building before I’m gone.”
Students at South East dream to achieve what seems impossible for some, but possible for many.
Not a lot of people think about what they would like to accomplish before they die, and I love that your article will make people question themselves about it. Whether it's being a sumo wrestler, owning a big home for the homeless, or skydiving, I think people need to step out of their own reality to dream of doing the most impossible thing, and achieving it. I'm sure the students that contributed their quotes were excited to think, "Imagine if I could do that!" I enjoyed reading the article, and it's fascinating to know what other people would love to do sometime before they die. Great work!
ReplyDeletewell its a very god article on what i have read. i would like to say not all people like to think of that because they don't want to face up on the negative sides. if i would start thinking of when i would die i start by doing my favorite things
