100 Things

I am in class that makes me think about me and my goals and dreams. Its very fun but not as easy as you would expect. For example, I had to think of 100 things to do in my life time. That may not seem like very many things to do before you die, but when you have to think about the 100 things you want to invest your life and time and sweat in, its a little harder.
