Lesson 44

Making And Reaching Goals
目標設定と達成

There are so many things on my bucket list, maybe I’ll never do them all but I can try. I’d love to try bungee jumping. This involves having a long elastic cord attached to your legs then jumping from a high bridge or crane. Also I really want to try sky diving. First, you fly very high in a small plane, then jump from the plane and fall for about five minutes before finally opening your parachute.

One of my dreams is to climb Mount Fuji. I remember the first time I saw Mount Fuji. It was like a spiritual experience and I knew at that moment that I had to climb to the top. I think it’s one of the most beautiful mountains in the world and the view from the top must be just as beautiful.

My other goal is to swim with dolphins. I have never seen a dolphin in real life. They seem like such intelligent and gentle creatures, almost magical. I want to dive into the water and swim and play with them. They say that sometimes dolphins rescue swimmers who are in trouble so I’m sure I’ll feel safe with them. I think everyone should have a bucket list and try and do as many things as they can.
