Apples, Milk, Sometimes Baking Soda

When I was younger a trip to the supermarket was inevitable on the weekends. Every Sunday I would sit at the kitchen counter and practice my penmanship of the word apple, or milk, and sometimes baking soda. That was my job. Make a list of everything we need for the week while my mom would rifle off item after item. My hard work always seemed like it would go down the same path, either my mom would forget the list in the car, or at home on the counter, or couldn't find it in her purse. Either way, the list never seemed to make it to the store. But- every weekend I would continue to make the list, simply because I wanted to. Then came the era of apple, and carrying around a smart phone my mom no longer needed my penmanship to every weekend, and she no longer lost it. However, I love lists (again, probably because of my love for words) and they are quick reads that can sometimes have a big impact. SO- here's my list.

A List of Dreams:

1. Mold, and shape everlasting friendships to last past high school graduation.

2. Graduate from college with everlasting memories, powerful "WOW" moments and with a degree that I am proud of.

3. Land a career helping people, as that helps me.

4. Be positive. Through thick and thin, and hopefully inspire others to be just as positive.

5. Leaving a lasting legacy of making people smile, and be happy for the little things, that's all I really want to be known for. Simply, being a good person.
