1. A "bucket list" is a list of things that you would like to accomplish during your lifetime. Please tell us a few of the things that might be on your bucket list and explain why they are important to you to accomplish.
In my lifetime, my experiences have given me a unique perspective that has driven my ambitions. In going to various different schools, one public, one therapeutic, and one private, I have met people from a variety of backgrounds who have taught me values that I have incorporated into my personality. My core values have become scholarship, passion, and altruism. Henceforth, my “bucket list” is comprised of experiences that I wish to have that correlate to those core values. Foremost, in the spirit of scholarship and altruism, I wish to study neuroscience in a desire to develop medical solutions to mental disorders, to help those who are struggling with mental illness. I am fascinated with the human brain. After completing a Brain and Behavior course in tenth grade, I recognized the passion I have for neuroscience. Next, in having so many broad experiences I have discovered my love for photography. Through photography, I can capture happy memories and save them to remember at a later time. So, on my bucket list I wish to travel the world and capture my travels through photography. Traveling has always been an integral part of my life, and through photography I wish to explore the world; by carrying around a camera one becomes more open and interested in one’s surroundings. I believe that traveling is essential for the soul; trekking the world will help quench my curious nature. In the fall of eleventh grade I decided to try something new and join my school’s cross-country team. Cross-country was a way to push myself and, since joining, I have been a passionate daily runner. Running is my release and my way of coping with stress. Consequently, my goal is to eventually run in a marathon. My bucket list has been comprised of experiences that I
