If I Had Only 24 Hours to Live

I would like to ask myself a tough question these days since I am the coming assistant of "Exploration of Career" course in NTHU College—what would I do if I had only 24 hours to live? It is an interesting and thought-provoking question. Of course, I would be a little sad to learn I had only 24 hours left. But, I would also be grateful for knowing this, because I could end my life in a good way.
First on my list would be saying good-bye. I believe farewells are important and we should not be afraid to past away. I would say so long to my good friends; say adios to my dear teachers and bid my relatives adieu. I would be sure to tell them all how much they mean to me; I would stress how much please I have had with them. Then, I would wave good-bye and wish them all the best.
Next, I would visit some of my favorite places. I would say good-bye to the beautiful world, too. I would enjoy it splendor one last time. In the morning, I would climb a mountain, enjoying the sunrise. In the afternoon, I would swim in a crystal-clear river. In the evening, I would lie on the beach as the sun sank below the horizon. Additionally, I would also visit some meaningful places near my home. I would go back to the neighborhood where I grew up.
Last of all, spending most of the time with my family is a top priority. They are the most significant people in my life. Therefore, I would want to be surrounded by them when I go. We could go out and see some sights together; we could enjoy the last meal together as well. But most of all, I would like just to be with them at home. I would tell each one of them how essential they are! I would thank every one of them, telling them how much I love them. And I would stay with them until my time was up.
Certainly, I would like to live more than another 24 hours. Thinking about this question has not been easy. In fact, it has been quite saddening. However, by considering it I have learned a lot. It can remind me of precious things in life, letting me cherish these thing as if there were no tomorrow. I have realized who the special people are in my life; I now know what matters most to me in this world.
