Over 2012 I have resolutions to be a better person all around. I also don't want to give in so easily. I forgive way too easily when sometimes it should take awhile. Some people are in awe when I tell people it's okay. I always give people chances, too many of them. Especially when all they do is screw me over. I want to be a stronger person and do what's best for myself sometimes. 2011 was full of a lot of hurt because I let people walk all over me, and it's not going to happen this year.

This year i hope to get better grades than what i did last semester and i hope to go skydiving this year!! Also i hope to get back into basketball and get better at it and play next school year for Branson. And i hope to make 2012 better than 2011 because 2011 was not a good year for me an i hope 2012 will be AWESOME!!

For this new year I want to get a job so I can start saving for college. I will start focusing more on my grades so I can do the best I can for my future. I am also very excited on getting my license so I can start driving to school and go shopping for my mom. Lastly I need to really work on my History class because that is my worst subject and I want an A.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things that very few people know about me is that I enjoy writting poetry. Last year, I avoided my writting, and slowly stopped doing it. Some of my stuff is good, when i can get the inspiration... Anyway, one of my resolutions was to get back into my poetry again. I've started carrying around a couple small notebooks that I can write in whenever I feel like dumping some emotions or past experiences on some paper.
ReplyDeleteI am making a resolution to not miss anymore than two days of school for the rest of the year because I don't wanna take finals. Also it would be awesome if I could end the year with straight a's which that is something I'm going to try to achieve. Also not during the school year but over the summer I want to go to the grand canyon so that's an exciting goal I would like to achieve.
ReplyDelete10/11/10 ilovejordan
This upcoming year I want to really focus on school and finding a job.I want to start saving for a car and putting money away for savings. I hope that I can get a good score on the ACT in order to get some sort of a scholarship. I would also like to venture out and make more friends and get to know more people at our school. I'd like to get in really good shape and start swimming over the summer. Im excited for 2012!
ReplyDeleteFor my new year I would like to try harder in school I mean I get good grades now I would just like to improve them and get no b's and all a's. Also I would like to try and commit to going to more summer conditioning for football. Lastly I think along with everyone else I wanna strive to be that better person I can be!Even if i only accomplish one of these things it will be a goal of success which is good enough for me.

This year, I want it to be all brand new all start off. I want to get my head outta my butt and Just sacrifice the easiest time of my life and just to do school work. I want to Pass and be succesfull. i dont want to be some Hobo. I want people to remember me for who i am. not for what a bad kid i was or not for the trouble i was getting in. I want to make an impact on peoples lives. i just havent figured it out. See everything positive. Don't look at one thing and see a bad side too it, remember things can ALWAYS get worse than the scenario. Be thankful. Happy new year mrs. Snow Sincerely Bob Marley
ReplyDeleteI know this is sad to say but i try not to make a new years resolution. I think that it is pointless, because you know that your going to break them anyways. It's like you make a promise to one of your friend and you tell yourself and your friend that you will do it and you don't cuuse you are breaking a promise. When you make a resolution you make a promise to yourself and then you break it so once again. So why make them when you now your going to break them. I just stay true to myself and do things that I now that I can do not what people expect me to do
ReplyDelete~AnimalLover1996~
ReplyDeleteI made a new years resolution to treat people better, i know sometimes i can be a serious brat. It took my friends, family, and my bf to show me that. So, from now on I am trying my hardest to be nicer. Hopefully it works out for me lol :)
No resolutions for me this year as they never seem to follow through since it would take a pure stroke of luck to complete it. I plan on receiving my license next week as well as figure out what route I will take with the insurance plans. I hope that I will have no struggle achieving a Summer job assuming I don't have to go to school over the Summer to pass the Sophomore year (but we all know that won't happen, right?). Thinking about life after high school is probably a good idea as well...
ReplyDeletei dont really have any new years resolutions, but i reall just hope to keep on being myself.i dont really want to change into someone i'm not and be fake. so i guess that is kinda my resolution.
ReplyDeleteMy New Years Resolution for 2012 is to make more friends! Last year I relied on the few close ones I had. I realized that when they were gone or couldn't hang out I felt lonely. I'm very shy so it'll be hard, but totally be worth it in the end! I would also like to eat healthier. On the first night of the year I threw up all the food I had that day. It wasn't fun at all so I thought making some changes in the food I eat will help me feel more energized and stronger!
ReplyDeletebjymmc
ReplyDeleteThings i hope to accomplish this new year is getting all or at least most of my work turned in. I hope to also get better grades and not to get in trouble as much as i did last year. Some goals that I have for outside of school are just being a better person all around and helping out around this house more with stuff my mom needs me to do to make all of our lives easy.
This year i want to start my new year out good. Making better decisions, listening to my parents, invloved with church more, being nicer...especially in the mornings. hehee. I want to also work on my language, as in not saying bad words and stuff like that.
ReplyDeletei have been doing good so far with evrything and i hope and wil try my hardest to make is last for a while. (:
One new years resolution I made is to get a job. Another one is to get ny licence when I turn 16. I want I job so I will have money once I get my license. I also want to keep good grades and make the baseball team. Also by the end of the year I want to be able to climb v6's.
ReplyDelete-OU Sooner
i did not make a resolution. but i got a punching bag for christmass. so what i was thinking was working out getting stronger, faster, more agile. i can put a perty good eunf behind a kick with my right leg but not my left. i going to make my left side stronger because it's weak right now but not for long.
ReplyDeleteblackwolf
I really hope that this year i will be as diligent (i think thats how you spell that) as i can with completing and turning in my assignments on time. And i am also hoping that i will be better behaved in class and what not. im also going to try to help out a lot more people, no matter what it is. unless it has to do with illegal drugs or something like that. that stuff friggin blows.
ReplyDeleteNevets
This year, I would like to get more active and lose weight. I know it will require a lot of work and commitment, but if all those other people can do it, then I know I can. I just need to have self control about food, and I need to change my daily (after school) schedule to where I work out. My brother-in-law has a work out plan and he invited me to join it! I'm really excited to finally feel the satisfaction and self-completion of hard work and dedication to getting in better shape.
ReplyDelete-Nannerb
I honestly don't have that many, except make over the amount I did last year working, and saving as much money as I can. I'd like to improve my personality eventually, but knowing my major problem is procrastination, it'll take a while to improve. I'd like to get a little more calm when a bad situation occurs, and a little more thankful for the things that I have or that are dear to me. I'd also like to get a bunny! (:
ReplyDeleteXxlovesxxpiexX
Well I hope this year is going to be a good one.It started off pretty bad though.This year I want to get better grades,and be a nicer person.I wish me and my step dad would stop fighting and to get along. I want to be on a lot of peoples good side for once. Thats what I want to change for the new year.
ReplyDeleteThrough the year of 2012, I would like to make sure I do better in school and keep my grades up, plus pay attention and not fall asleep in class... especially in English and science class. when it comes to friends and family i just want to be their for all of them whenever they need me to be.. for the next years i will be a great student and a great friend too all...
ReplyDeletesuperpups23
In 2012 my resolution is to give up pop. My boyfriend and I are doing it together and whoever gives in first has to pay the other 40 bucks! I also would live to have straight A's. Good grade come easy to me so I know if I pushed myself harder I could have straight A's. I hope 2012 is a good year. I'm excited to see what this year holds for me!

I'm am goin.g to reach these goals by work really had in practice and then eat right and lift weights hard. I don't really know how I'm going to achieve my last goal but ill try to figure out how to.
ReplyDeleteMy goals for the year 2012 are that i will get in much better shape for summer, and get straight A's. I also I wanna become more outgoing. Lastly, I would like to get ideas together for college!
ReplyDeleteBon. Quisha
i have a couple of things, one is to get good grades in school for the rest of the school year.second i want to stay out of any trouble but i am sure i dont have to worry about that.the last thing is to do good in the sports that i am participating in this last semester.
ReplyDeleteI hope to improve myself by trying to make better choices for myself and not for what I want. What I feel is right and will be better in the long run. I hope not to make as many foolish stupid regrets thing year. I am going to try harder to help myself become a better person. I hope in the long run I like the transition and choices I am going to make this new year. I do not want to leave this year behind with poor choices. If I find myself in a sticky situation I hope to take a step back and realize my choices and see if I am making the right choice or not.
ReplyDelete-Katwomen(:
the thing that i have to accomplish is to stay out of strouble and get better of having study habbits and to get things done better and alot qiucker than ussually do.
ReplyDeleteThis year I'm going to make it the best one yet. Im turning 16 so I'm going to get a job. I plan on saving for a car. After I get my car I'm going to open a savings account and start out money back for my collage fund. I will be a junior here soon so on this summer brake I'm going to visit some collages and get a variety of them so I can start makeing my choice on which one I want to go to. I also plan on buckling down and working hard in school. Sweetpea10
ReplyDeleteI just had surgery over break, so I hope to start this year fresh. I hope for the best of this year. We never know if tomorrow may come or not. I want to get my license early this year. I could make a list of all the things I want to happen this year, but I just hope for the best and to have fun :)

ReplyDeleteThis year, my resolution is to try and have more patience with people;) ha um i also am gonna try and help out as much as i can with anyone that needs someone. I hope i can accomplish going to nationals, state and become a chapter officer for ffa. This year i know that will be better than last year! I am gonna work hard towards grades and attendance, i would love to be finals exempt this semester and get a jump on my summer! i cant wait to get my car, this summer will be great:)
I do not have anything I would like or enjoy to improve. but there are many things I need to improve on like: doing my homework, having better penmanship, getting a job and just getting things I need done done. There are still many more things that I can change or improve on because I am definitely not perfect, and I think I can say the same for everyone.
ReplyDeleteRIKU
Things that i would like to improve in 2012 would be to get better grades in math. Also another thing that i would like to improve is my strength so i won't be the smallest person on the football field. But the most important thing that i would like to work on is my future after highschool because that day is coming closer and closer.
ReplyDeleteThe beastiest beast on the beastiest planet in the beastiest country in the beastiest state
I'm rather excited about this year. I figured out what college I legitly wanna go to. This summer I plan on being a little more responsible with getting a job and...well, keeping it too. I'm getting a car at the end of this month although I won't be 16 until May. So the things I should probably work on are responsibility and respect.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a resolution per-say, but I do plan on doing a lot of things with this next year. For one I plan on actually trying to get my assignments done. They may not be on time, but at least they will get done! I also plan on not falling behind like I did last semester, as I hate taking credit recovery. I also am going to be turning 16 within the next week,, and am going to try and get a job. I'm kinda looking forward to that, but I'm kinda not as well.
ReplyDeleteWell I definitely had a great New Years! I turned 16!! so excited. I have some resolutions, I hope to not be so impatient to things that just take time. And I am hoping to get a better job this summer so I can pay for my car insurance. I am wanting to also end this year off right so that when I get off for summer I don't regret anything that happened during this year or for the rest of the year! I also have a resolution to try and not get hurt in sports as much as I have been. I also hope to accomplish my goal of try to walk in two different people's shoes and see what their life is like. :)
ReplyDelete~Sophie12
my new years resolution is better grades, try to find a new and fun activity, and my last ones is to try not to drink any soda for the whole year of 2012.
ReplyDeleteMy new year resolution is to get more sleep instead of at school and keep up with my grades as they come out so i dont have to cram on the last week. not fun for me i want to not have to worry about grades dropping or my parents seeing my grade online. really i dont think the world is going to end in 2012 i thought it was real like 3 years ago but now it seems a bit silly but, i guess we can wait and see if it does. this year hold alot for me. i plan to do more growing up and getting my license so i can drive where i need to go. my goals for this year are nearly set. :)
ReplyDeletePurple~
ReplyDeleteMy newyears resolution is to to a better sister. My sister and I fight a lot and have trouble getting along. I would like to inprove our relationship. We are already doing a little better, but it can be hard to change your attude towards someone. I want to be her friend not only her sister. Hopefully in time I can pove to her and myself that I can be a better sister.
For the new year i plan to better myself by working harder in school. And working hard at basketball. I havent made any resolutions. But I do want to work hard to make new accomplishments like straight A's. Also i want to travel. Now that i am able to drive myself i want to take road trips to places i havent been before. And i want to have an enjoyable spring break.
ReplyDeleteI really hope this year goes smoothly. That i end up with good grades, make great memories, and have a great year. I don't want any drama like this past year. I would like to try more things. Things i probably would never do or at least not want to do. This year i want to make better decisions. I didn't really make a new year resolution only because when i do, i either forget or never end up doing it, so i just don't make one.
ReplyDeleteRiverSwimmin
I want to get all my grades up and keep them at A's.
DeleteI also want to get my drivers license. I don't really have any other resolutions. Maybe to get a car and job to.

This year I would like to improve myself by not fight with my family so much and try to see things through their eyes. Sometimes I think they're being mean but in reality they're just tryin to be protective bout what I do.
ReplyDeleteBubbles96
I really hope to make a lot of new friends and better grades. Usually it's the same each year and I always succeed. Maybe it's time to make a new resolution like joining a new sport and bettering myself! :D
ReplyDeleteMy new years resolution is to be good, and listen to my parents. Well, follow their rules. I'm tired of being grounded everyother day. Ha! Also, I'm gonna try to have good grades, it's just hard because I am lazy and I get very bored in school. But this semester I'm gonna try to get good grades. I want to make everyone proud thisyear.
ReplyDeleteEmm123
I want to be a better person and not take anyones crap. i want to get my permint this year and start driving hopefully. i hope my mom and dad start getting along but i dont really want them to get back together because there will be more fighting. i hope everyone in my family gets along and not fight but i dont think that going to happen. well got to go bye!(:
ReplyDeletei only have a coupke of resolutions. and that is to get a medal in track. and to get better grades in some of my classes. like english for example. and geometry. oh and world history. and thats pretty much it.

ReplyDeletethis new year is going to be better than the last. this year i have decided to start studying quantum physics. i have always loved how albert e came up with the atom bomb. the breaking down of molecules and putting them back together is something i would like to learn about. i know this will be hard to learn about, but i am looking for a challenge. every history report i have ever written has been on the atomic bomb and einsteins theory of quantum physiology. thats why this year is going to be better than last.
This year, my only resolutions would be to get more of my assignments done, and hopefully bring up some of my grades. Also, I turn 16 this Saturday, so Im hopefully going to get my license within the next week(if I pass). Another thing is, I want this year to be filled with way less drama, than there was last year. By the way things are going so far, I doubt that will happen though.
ReplyDelete-volleyballerr12
In 2012, I want to learn how to balance my social life with school better. I tend to avoid my homework and school projects and procrastonate so I have more time with my friends. This semester I want to get atleast an 80 percent by the end of the term in all my classes. I also want to keep in touch with my family and visit them more often. Hoping to start the new year off well!

this year I have a reolution to be a better person. on new years eve i looked at myself and said, "wow I'm a jerk. I haven't been nice to my freinds, I've lied alot, and took advantage of people. that's why i have made a pledge to be a better person.

Oh how I'm ready for the new year!! I'm going to look back at 2011 and take all the stuff I learned and use it to better myself this year! This year I want to be the best! I want to fix stuff at home, mainly I want to fix stuff at school more than anything, this year at school is already better than last year but I want to put all my effort in to school cause I want to make it in life.. I want to be to school everyday, and get awesome grades but I need to kick it into gear... I'm starting off slow but I can't wait till everything falls together :)
