In the film A Walk To Remember, the main character had a list of 100 things she wanted to do before she died. That inspired me to make a list of things I wanted to do before I die. Plus, the season finale of the Buried Life is on tonight, a show where a group of Canadian boys travel around the United States, crossing off things on their own bucket list and helping people do things on theirs.

The average person, depending on which country you live in, lives for about 70 years. That’s about 25,550 days. Approximately 613,200 hours. What do you wish to achieve in this time?
Great bucket list! There are many things that you can accomplish with greater ease, such as planting a tree, receiving (most likely) the Alexander Rutherford Scholarship, you probably already inspire people and you don't know it, and you make a difference when you are volunteering and helping others out. Otherwise, renaming a star is impossible, like the Sun…but I don't think you mean it it like that. But you can do what the characters in a Walk to Remember did and pick a random star, and graph the coordinates and it's yours! You don't even have to pay money! Any star that doesn't get named by scientist isn't official, so you could technically get the all stars in the Milky Way named after "June", but it just wont be recognized as such in textbooks!
If it were up to me, I would recommend the book, "Tuesdays with Morrie", a man on the verge of death speaking about life's greatest lessons, and to dedicate more of my time to the community and others (family, friends, animals in the wilderness) is definitely one of them!
