2011 has come and gone, and a new year is upon us. As soon as the clock strikes midnight on January 1st, people instantly stark looking forward to the new year, and begin thinking about what resolutions they will make to make this year the best one yet! The beginning of a new year is also a time to reflect on the year that has ended; on the happy times, sad times, and memories you will never forget. Whether it be to stop drinking soft drinks, stay fit, or spend more time with family and friends, the new years resolutions people make can truly change their lives forever.
Every year, I make resolutions, but I usually end up forgetting about them in a couple of months. This year, however, I have made resolutions that I really want to stick to, especially in English. Even though I was pleased with my work in this class last semester, there is always room for improvement. I think the main thing that I want to improve on this semester is time management. Since it was out first semester of high school, no one really knew what to expect, and I was definitely not prepared for what was to come. I found that I was struggling to get things done and becoming very stressed out. I hope that this semester I can better organize my time and plan ahead so I am not rushing to complete assignments at the last minute.
Sarah, I really enjoyed reading this post. I really like your goals for the new semester in English class. I have no doubt that you will be able to fulfill them because you are such a determined student (and person).
ReplyDeleteGood comment, Terri, and good post, Sarah. Time management is a popular New Year's resolution, particularly among students who are experiencing an educational transition and moving to a new set of time management demands. Let me know if you would like some tips or some help troubleshooting your current system.
