My Birthday Wish List

One of the things that my parents promised us when we were children is that for our twenty first birthday they would grand us our birthday wish. The wish could be anything we desired (within reason) and within a budget (up to $25,000), but they would grant it. They let us know about this when we were five, so we had nearly sixteen years to think about it.
The benefit of all that time to think about our wish was that we were going to carefully weigh our options. Ideally, we wouldn’t pick something ridiculous or dumb, and I think in some sense, it has made us appreciate the value of thinking through our decisions. Had they chosen not to give us the time to think, I think that all of us three kids would have been disappointed with our choices.
With my birthday coming up in just a couple of weeks, I think that I have finally come up with my wish. I have decided that I want to pursue my childhood dream of swimming with dolphins. I have found a cruise line that offers that as one of their cruisers activities in Mexico and have looked into the price for our whole family to go, and it will fit in the budget.
I can’t wait to experience my dream with my family beside me - I think that it will be my best birthday ever!
