Lacing up her roller skates, senior Sarah Graves takes a deep breath before she blades down the twisty street lined by endless rows of tall, old-style houses.

And then she opens her eyes because, for now, she has only been there in her dreams.

Visiting San Francisco, CA, is one of the top items on her bucket list, Graves said.

“I want to see the Victorian houses, drive along I-5, which runs parallel to the west coast,” she said, “and roller skate down Lombard Street, the most windy road in San Francisco.”

Some day, Graves said she’ll drive across the Golden Gate Bridge in a convertible and play the “Full House” theme song.

“I will do that one day,” she said. “Wait and see. I’ll post it on Instagram.”

Before she dies Graves said she wants to see and do everything she can.

“I want to go to Rome and have the Pope bless me,” she said.

Hopes, dreams and fears to conquer are just a few categories for the countless items that can appear on bucket lists.

“Bucket lists are a great way to organize your goals,” junior Olivia Kellar said. “You can mark things off when you achieve them.

When she was a freshman, senior Madison Howard said she decided to make a bucket list of her own.

“I was just sitting there and thinking about what I wanted to be like in 10 years,” Howard said, “and I thought I better write it down.”

Her list ranges from climbing mountains and visiting Japan to raising a family one day.

“There’s a song by Josh Abbott Band called ‘My Texas’ that lists a bunch of things you can do in the state,” Howard said. “I want to do everything in that song before I die.”

Senior Brendan Wynne said he has a hunger to travel the world, literally.

“I want to try foods in their most authentic form,” he said, “like a calzone in Italy or some traditional South American recipes.”

Wynne said he would even give the delicacies, such as scorpions, crickets or even sautéed ants, a try.

“You just can’t think about what you’re eating,” he said.

Outlining a bucket list is great, English teacher Carol Campbell said, “so your tomorrows can offer hope and joy.”

“I would pray to be blessed with good health,” she said, “to enjoy my kids, grand kids and hopefully great-grandchildren.”
