My Bucket List

people   say  i'm   a   dreamer

Bucket List Introduction

In life, you are only limited by your imagination and creativity. I think it is imperative that students see I have dreams and goals (that I plan on achieving!). Not only do my dreams provide motivation and purpose for the challenges I face every day, but they also remind me not to lose sight of the big picture. I check off items I have achieved and date them; this is a visible reminder of my accomplishments! It feels good to be reminded of what you have done and what you are capable of doing. Mainly, I want learners to believe they can achieve anything, and I NEVER want them to lose sight of their dreams. However, I also want them to realize that they must have a plan and purpose to achieve their dreams. I want them to be highly reflective as they consider their behavior and actions in terms of their goals, and I want their goals to grow as they do. And most importantly, I want them to learn from their mistakes and have CRAZY dreams, because mediocre dreams only lead to mediocre achievements and I believe everyone is capable of doing something great.
