Go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

          Universal Studios Orlando unveiled their latest edition to the park June 2010-- The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I have been an extreme fan of Harry Potter ever sine I can remember. I have a vivid memory of my neighborhood friends and I playing Harry Potter with stick wands in my front yard, pretending to play Quidditch. Saying that Harry Potter was a large part of my childhood would be an understatement. And as the final movie that has been long anticipated opens I will be front row at the midnight premiere to catch the last minutes of Harry Potter. That's why before I die I would like to experience the magic that I have always hoped to be a reality. Let's face it, who wouldn't want to buy a wand from Olivander's, drink butterbeer, and walk the halls of Hogwarts?

Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day

      Breast cancer is more apparent today than ever before in history. Although it is not a curable disease it is one that is fought and beaten every day. Today 1 in 4 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is the most notable of its kind and raises millions of dollars to not only fight the battle, but win the war.
     In my family, every generation so far has had breast cancer, so for me the likelihood of accumulating the disease later in my life is twice as likely than any other woman. This past December my Titi (aunt) was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, although not as widespread as others, she received a double mastectomy and is continuing her cancer treatment through June. When my aunt got diagnosed my world was rocked. It became more real for me that life is shorter than I initially thought. Although my aunt's survival rate for battling this disease is 98% she is also 45 years old, too young to get cancer, so I thought. The reality is is that breast cancer is something that every woman will face someday whether it's themselves, a mother, a sister, a friend, we are all apart of the wrath of breast cancer.
      I wish not only to walk the race for my aunt, but my grandmother and all of the other mothers, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, and friends out there. I will walk among the strong and powerful survivors as I accomplish something that is helping find a cure to end a war that has been going on far too long.
                                                                SAVE THE TA-TA'S!!!

Drive across America, coast to coast

        I have never felt like I was dying, I have never had any near death experiences, but as I become an adult I would like to have experiences and share memories that I will remember until I die. So here I will explore things I would like to do before I kick the bucket, after all you only live once.
      Before I die I would like to travel cross country and marvel and all of the beauty our country has to offer. I want to go see Bourbon Street in New Orleans, experience the southern cookin' of the deep south, go to Disneyworld in Orlando, hang out with Italians in Atlantic City, New Jersey, see Wicked on broadway in NYC, stay at a B&B in Cape Cod, drive the infamous Route 66, and land back home in San Diego for some quality mexican food.
