I started to make a list of 30 things to do before I turned 30, but that seemed too stressful since I only had months and not years to get there. So, instead I reflected on 30 cool accomplishments or experiences I have had in my nearly three decades of life... In no particular order.
1. Toured the Dominican Republic in a monster truck
2. Mentored high school students
3. Modeled for Nordstroms
4. Visited every state on the East Coast
5. Earned my Masters in Business Administration
6. Climbed Mt. Etna in Italy
7. Learned to play the piano
8. Earned my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification
9. Won a city wide essay contest
10. Flew in an ultralight plane...This was one of the scariest experiences of my life, but what a thrill!
11. Became fluent in Spanish...I've lost a lot of this, so it is time to hit the books or get into some language classes again!
12. Elected to the Westhampton College Leadership Court -- perhaps my proudest accomplishment
