The Buried Life Project

Author's Note
My name is Cheyenne Vermette and we got this to do for a project in our creative writing class. We needed 50 - 100 things we wanted to complete in our life before we die, but I put a little more than that. It was easy to think of things I wanted to do, because one thing led to another and there are just plenty of things to do in the world. I am only 17 years old, so I still have lots of time to complete them, but just thinking about it, I have already completed multiple things that I never thought I would have this soon. Many things that I can't do just staying in Manitoba or without the help from my dad and family. There will also be things on my list that involve my friends and other people, so I just want to say thank you to everyone for being supportive and being there! Can't wait for the good times to come! :)

Now What…
Many things on my list are little that could simply be done by just going out and doing them, but for some reason I just haven't. Lots of other things involve money and time, which are some things I don't have right now. I would say that I am really looking forward to all of the traveling that I want to partake in, just like many others, but one of the things that has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember is having my dad walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. This might just seem like every girls dream or maybe some people don't think too much of it, but it is especially meaningful to me because I just met my dad when I was 16. So, that was the first step I took into tackling this one thing I've always wanted to do in my life. For me to actually complete it, I just have to let life take its toll and wait and see what happens.
