The Buried Life

Authors Note:

 Writing the list 100 things to do before I die was the most challenging project that I'd ever done. I’ve done lots of research of where I want to go in the future and things that I want to do in life. The most challenging part was listing my 100 lists because I don’t usually don’t use lists I just remember on my head and it’s better because it reminds me instead of trying to remembering it on your mind and sometime we forget it. I hope that I accomplish the things on my list and I will be a very happy when I accomplish every single one of them. Most of things on my list are about cars I want to see, own, and even to sit on, travelling to different parts of the world, meeting people, and what I can do in the future. Some of my things on my lists are very good like donating money or visiting an orphanage and some are very challenging like meeting my a very famous person or doing around the world and If some things on the list are completed and I will be very proud of what I’ve done. I learned that to take opportunities before it’s gone and I’ve done these before and I regretted them and I’m thinking to myself “ I wish I’ve done this” so this lists of things that I want to do before I die is very handy for those people who want to take the opportunity.

      Now What:


Out of my 100 lists of the things I want to do before I die; what I would like to do is to be able to drive on Stelvio Pass Road. Stelvio Pass is located in Italy with an elevation of 2757 meters and known to be the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps. Top Gear also considers it as the greatest driving road in the world.

For it to become a reality, I first need to have a class 5F driver license. I also need to enhance my driving skills. Known for its 60 hairpins turn and the difficulty of the road, I really need to be a good driver to be able to drive there. I also need a dependable car like Porsche. Having said that, I have to save up a great amount of money for the plane tickets, hotel accommodation, and renting a car. Renting a Porsche to drive on Selvio Pass would be a wonderful experience.

But for now, I need to pass my grade 11 and then finish my grade 12. Take up an auto-mechanic certificate course in Red River. Then, hopefully find a good paying job and get hands on experience in this field. And later on, be able to put up my own car business. Learn to set aside a portion of my income and eventually save enough money to be able to achieve this dream. I hope and pray that I will live long enough and have the energy to do it.
