5-Something You Hope To Do In Your Life

This has been my favorite of the 30 so far. It gives me a chance to be idealistic and maybe even unrealistic for a period of time. So, follows is a list of things I would LOVE to do, but probably never will unless I become incredibly rich or fall upon several spots of good luck:

-Be a professional baseball statistician.
Oh man. This has always been my profession that I've dreamed about but never really thought to be realistic. How awesome would it be to keep stats for a major league team, travel with them , and see a great game every day of your life. It would be paradisaical.

-Go sky diving.
Yup. typical dream. But the rush of actually hurling yourself out of a plane would be incredible. And a once in a lifetime experience.

-Go on an archaeological dig.
I know. It's nerdy. When I was little I read this Nancy Drew book where she gets invited to go along on a dig in Peru. It talked all about it, and I was absolutely fascinated with it. It pretty much sounded like the life, out all day playing in the dirt with people you really like.

-Become a pilot.
I don't think I would want a commercial pilot license. You'd have to be away from your family too much. But freak, if I ever got rich enough, you better believe I'd buy a private jet/helicopter for personal use.

-Meet a president.
Obviously, I'd prefer it be a democrat :) But I'm not picky. I'd like to do more than just meet them though. I'd like to have at least a short conversation. I feel like I'd have to do something substantially important for this to happen though.

-Spend a month in Washington, D.C. A week was not nearly long enough.
When I went to D.C. for We The People nationals I fell in love with the city. I wanted to see everything there was to see, but we didn't have time. I'm going to live back east someday. Back in the center of culture and history. I'm gonna see all the sights of American political and revolutionary history. Maybe I'll be an intern in the white house. That'll kill two birds with one stone :)

There's so many other ridiculous little things I would love to do. But really, I just want to help people. I know that sounds corny and overused and insincere, but it's true. I want to be a mental health and substance abuse counselor. I know too many people who suffer from these issues, and I want to help them get their lives straightened out.
