People will know you for different reasons during different stages in your life. But my big issue now, and what people know me most for, is inheriting responsibilities and having to grow up too soon. My mother passed away from breast cancer 2 years ago, and my father passed away a long time before that. Since I was the eldest child, I took over the role my mother left. I ran her business, took care of my younger brothers, and ran our household. I had to drop out of school, because there was so much to take care of. Till now, I'm still getting the hang of the responsibilities I was left with. And well, thats what I'm known for right now.

- My bucket list
-
Create a foundation for cancer research, dedicated to my mom.
My mother has always been a very big part of my life, and its very sad that she was taken away by cancer. I'm sure a lot of other families struggle with the same things me and my family had to struggle with. So I would like to help fund the research for the cure of cancer. And at the same time I would like my mom's name to be associated with something that helps people, because she's helped countless people in her life time.
Build a B&B in Ibiza, or in Greece.
I absolutely adore the beach. So I would love to retire in one of the most lively, but beautiful beaches in the world, and make a living doing what I love most. I don't want my resort/b&b to have more than ten bedrooms so I get to get to know each of my guests, and so my resort has a real "home"-y feel.
Write a novel
Because I would love to leave my thoughts and ideas behind for the world to either learn from, or identify with.
Travel the world.
Everyone knows that this world is full of vast amounts of beauty. And I would never want to leave this world without experiencing and seeing all the wonders of the world with my own eyes.
Raise a child.
My mother raised an and took care of me. And I feel like its my duty to return the favor. And there are lots of children who don't have anyone looking after them. If I adopted one of my own, I'd be doing my part helping those kids out.
