Contribution from Completing my Bucket List.What made the 23-year-old so unhappy?
Laura Ripley felt that she was "fat, sad and alone". Even as a teenager, she was bullied. Her overweight finally drove the young woman into a vicious circle: her free time suddenly consisted only of food and the game console. The house would not leave her.
One day Laura Ripley realized that she was wasting her life.
So she wrote a bucket list. In keeping with New Year 2012, the young woman wrote like many others a list with good intentions.
But while others forgot them in no time, Laura kept expanding her bucket list. The click moment came with a typical point in the life-list: a bungee jump changed Laura's view of life .
If she could do that, would not the whole world be open to her? The young woman learned that she had her future in her own hands. At the age of 23, when you make a list of things that you want to do in your life, it may seem too early at first glance. But can you be too young to make the most of your life?
Laura proves that a bucket list can change everything at any age.
Today Laura is a happy woman of 26 years. Out of 300 points, 120 of their destinations have already been ticked off. The success stories changed her whole life - she took off, found a new job and married her boyfriend.
