Assignment 18 - Grace Payne

Before I graduate high school, I want to reach as many academic goals as possible. For example, I want to get as many 5's on my AP Exams as possible (except AP Physics, because Physics.) I think I have a really good chance to get 5's on the rest of my exams, so that's one of my goals. Also, I want to get a full ride to a University. That's an especially lofty goal, seeing as full rides for academics are difficult to receive, but I think I have a good chance of getting one.

Before I graduate college, I want to travel to as many US states as possible. I've been to a lot of the states East of the Mississippi, but I haven't been anywhere West of the Mississippi. It's unlikely that I'll be able to travel to all 50 states (darn Alaska and Hawaii), but the 48 continental states are extremely possible. Also, similar to my goal from the first part, I want to graduate college with little to no student loans. I plan to get a PhD (I have to be an occupational therapist, which I want to be), so graduating college with my undergrad degree and few student loans would be a great start.

Before I die, I want to make it to every continent, including Antarctica. I've been to Europe, but I believe that every single continent (and really every single country) has their own culture and stories to tell, and I want to visit as many as possible. Antarctica is probably the one that is most interesting to me, but I rarely ever see anything about Antarctica, so I think it would be a fun trip.
