Teen Graduates To Meet ‘Bucket List’ Goal

Item: Richland teen scratches off 'graduation' from 'bucket list'/Laura Katy Zaichlin, Tri-City Herald

More Info: Liz Evett was met by nearly 650 cheering peers, relatives and teachers as she was wheeled into the auditorium wearing a purple cap and gown. "When we came in the auditorium and we saw all the people -- whoa," said Evett, who was diagnosed with leukemia three years ago and relapsed in April. "I am so thankful." The West Richland 18-year-old stopped responding to chemotherapy in June and was given weeks to months to live. She immediately began checking things off her "bucket list" of things she wants to do before she dies.

Question: What would be on your 'bucket list'?
