After watching the movie Bucket List I was inspired to create my own. I really like this quote by an influential American author, teacher, and civil rights activist, Howard Thurman, when he says "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." This quote influenced me to write a list of things that I have done...
