The New Year – hmmmm . . .
The year most commonly known as 2007 is here.
So I ask:
- What do you want of it?
- What are you willing to make happen for yourself?
- Gonna set some goals?
- Are you considering others?
I’d like you to consider this:
- Check out the website for The Center for Nonviolent Communication.
- Return here and post some thoughts on what you find there.
- You will get extra credit for a substantial post.
A substantial post is
- one that allows us to really understand what you’re thinking.
- it shows us how you came to your understanding.
- it might cause a reaction in someone.
- it is thought provoking.
In the year 2007 I plan to set many goals that I also plan to achieve. Each year teachers ask what do you want to do differently or what goals you want to set. Everyone sets a goal but most people that I know never achieve it.
This year I plan to eat healthier. Everyone eats junk food, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t. Like Neha said, you know it’s not healthy. So I plan to do what she does and eat a whole lot less of it.
~2007~
WOW!!!!!!! A new year already all i want this year is to get good grades pass the fcat and have a good time in school learning and being with my friends because this is our last year of middle school so im going to work on that and hope for the best!!!!!
I am responding to Amanda V’s comment….When reading her comment about non-violence and he response to Nicole G’s post for a second I thought it was a teacher talking. Not because she used intelligent words, it was the way that she explained herself, but also stated it was an opinion and not to offend anyone. I do agree with her on basically everything that she has said about the way people communicate today. These days everything is a war. Not necessarily big or meaningful but in different ways it’s an all out batle. everyone is comparing themselves to others trying to be better. That is what I believe the government is planning. It is said that George Bush cheated in the polls and that they cut off Florida’s votes. Well if this is true…why? Why would they want Bush to remain in power. Probably because Kerry didn’y fit in with their little plot. I believe that the government has a group of people in office trying too have all the power. Wanting to take over the world and I think our children’s children are the ones that are going to be extremely affected by this. On the dollar bill in a little corner, barely visible there is an owl. Now why is this owl on the dollar bill and what does it represent? Here’s a random thought maybe it represents some type of god to the government clique that’s plotting. Like on the dollar bill how it says in god we trust…well which god are they talking about? The one you learn about in the bible or this little clique of theirs? And when we say the pledge of allegiance….one nation under god….which god is that? Maybe were doing this pledge for a very bigger reason than we think. Maybe that’s why the government fought to keep god in the pledge. I don’t know it’s just a theory. Anyways I think I might have got a little off topic but not really cause I was just relating things. But all in all this world is going through a war now and I don’t think the people are fighting back, because I don’t think we know. So my point being violence is never going to stop, the war is never going to stop. Because are ego’s are to big. Everyone wants the power. well ok the end. I’m going to post my new years resolution a little bit later today cause I think this a enough writing for now.
This year i would want for us to do more exiting things at school. I had no problem doin the work just next time make it more exciting so more poeple would do there work.My goals this year isto do better in school. I get distracted by talking to my friends and i end up not doing my work. That is what i want from the new year.
~2007`
This year I want to consider others feelings before i speak because sometimes i can be really mean with what i say and i want to express myself more and find an outlet to do so, like sports o music or something. Academically, I want to get better behavior grades on my report card than last year which i seem to be doing already.
About the Center for Nonviolent Communication, I understand what they are saying about connecting with others in a diferent way and valueing everyone’s rights equally. it really does make me think about how we express ourselves and hear others.
To be honest, I don’t really know what I want from 2007. It doesn’t feel like anything has changed except for the number of our year. I haven’t really put that much thought into want I want to do and things like that.
This year I want to do better in school. It’s not that I’m failing any of my classes it’s just that I think I can do better then what I’m doing now. I just really need to push myself and study and work a lot more.
I’ve set two goals for this year: try to eat less meat (in other words become a vegetarian) and lose some weight. I really don’t know why I want to be a vegetarian but I just do. I guess I find it interesting or something like that. According to my mom I was a vegetarian when I was little so why not try again? Also when I say I want to lose weight, I mean I want to lose a couple of pounds, not be super skinny.
Honestly, I haven’t thought of any other goals to set. I think one might be not to change myself for anyone else or what they think about me. I say that because a lot of people are worried if people don’t like what they look like ect., ect.
Man 2007 already. i hope this year is good for me in many ways. I hope it is good for ithers as well, but I really want a good new year and am very pleased to have a new and refreshing start.This year I just want to do everything I can and hope for a spectacular outcome. We can only hope for the best!
THiS YEAR i HOPE iTS FUN AND EXCiTiNG AND NOT BORiNG EVEN THOUGH 2006 WASNT BORiNG i HOPE THAT 2007 WiLL BE FUNNER .
i AM WiLLiNG TO STOP GETTiNG DiSTRACTED ON OTHER THiNGS AND FOCUS ON MY WORK TO GET BETTER GRADES.
MY GOALS ARE TO EAT HEALTHiER AND EXCERSiSE MORE BECAUSE i EAT TOO MUCH JUNK FOOD AND i WANT MY BODY TO BE HEALTHiER.
THiS YEAR i AM CONSiDERiNG OTHERS BY BEiNG A NiCER PERSON.
2007 IS FINALLY HERE
Want to you want of it?
For the year 2007 I personally don’t want anything out of it. There’s really nothing that I’m striving for.
What are you willing to make happen for yourelf?
All that I hope will happen to myself is that I will be a better person somehow.
Gonna set some goals?
I don’t really have anything goals for myself to set. SORRY
Are you considering others?
Yes I am considering others this year. I hope to treat people better though.
This year I would like to get better grades. This year I am willing to make the schools volleyball team. My goal is to be a better person. Also I would like to be more open minded about different situations.
Um..I went to the site given but I did not understand exactly what it has to do with New Years resolutions. I have been asked alot about my new year’s resolutions but I have not officially came up with any yet but I have a few things I want to see in 2007. I want to have good grades, I want this year to be drama free[including with friends and family], and I really want things to be okay with my divorcing parents..I hope things turn out okay with everything..the baby and such. I would also like to get healthier..my parents say I don’t eat enough or the right kinds of food. I also want to having so much hate towards certain people and things. These are just a couple things I want to happen..
OOPS!!!!! ON THE COMMENT I POSTED BEFORE I ACCIDENTLY POSTED THAT IM IN PERIOD 3 BUT IM OBVIOUSLY IN PERIOD 5 SO YEAH!!!!!!!!
~*~WELCOME 2007~*~
A new year means new dreams and new decisions to make. People want many things in life, but something that i want this year is for everyone to stop fighting.I have noticed that people are always fighting for stupid reasons.I mean it’s ok to fight over things that make sence.
What i am willing to make happen for myself is to stop fighting as well because it only causes more problems.I don’targue with people at all but i see other people fighting all the time and it bothers me.I mean there is honstly no point because all thats going to happen is that the problem is going to procede and become bigger and more intense.
But other than the fighting, some goals that i am going to set for myself are to, get higher grades on tests and assignments(even though i already score high).I also want to be able to get into a good high school.Thats the main priority because it’s part of my future. But some other minor goals are to be safe and live life to the fullest.
Refering to the center of nonviolent communication, im not that big on “saving the enviornement” even though it conserns mine and everyone else’s health, but i think it promotes a great and healthy life style. Like i said before, im not a big enviornment freak but planting new trees, not littering and recycling sound like something good to do as a little hobbie.That might sound bad to some people.They might be thinking “A LITTLE HOBBIE!” But it may be a big hobbie to you,but smaller to other people.
Thats all i have to say and i hope you all have a wonderful and healthy new year!!!!
Samantha L — Yes, I understand. Violence can make the blood boil.
A debate? I must be honest with you– I didn’t really get your post out the CNC. Where you concluding that communication is possible with courage to speak up? Or was it that communication is available and freedom of speech is allowed, so we should use it since we have it? I’m not quite understanding what it has to do with the CNC.
What do you want of it?
For the year 2007 I want for it to be a year of success for me and all of my fellow classmates. That means for us to do good on test and for everyone to put 100% effort into whatever they do.
What are you willing to make happen for yourself?
I am willing to make alot of things happen for myself. Like get into my desired high school. End up with straight A’s at least for the last report card. Last, but not least excel in all the athletic activities I am participating in for this year.
Gonna set some goals?
Yes, I’m not going to be a precastinator that I have become over the years anymore. Catch up on my school work or whatever else I have set aside on my free time, and study more frequently for upcoming test. I’m also gonna try and make it to counties for track seasont this year. 🙂
Are you considering others?
Yes, Ive actually already started considering others from last year…well….somewhat. But this year, I am entirely considering others and their feelings, and learn not be so judgemental towards certain things or people and keep some things to myself, because I’ve also learned that everything doesn’t have to be said aloud.
***2007***
This is a new year..and that means starting out fresh. I personally think that everyone needs to just kill the drama and get ready for high school. People need to leave the middle school drama behind and just move on. This year, just learn to forgive people. Don’t forget,..but forgive. So everyone, just grow up and start out a new year. . .
**.:2OO7:.**
WOW 2006 WENT BY FAST BUT THERES SOME CHANGES i WANT TO MAKE…OK FiRST THERES FRiENDS, EVERYONES FiGHTiNG NO MATTER WHERE i TURN THERES DRAMA AND THE THiNG iS, iTS ALL STUPiD REASONS PEOPLE NEED TO STOP SAYiNG THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE UGLY AND ALL THOSE THiNGS BECAUSE YEA SOME PEOPLE DONT CARE BUT SOME PEOPLE TAKE iT REALLY SERiOUS AND HURTS THEM.
ALSO i WOULD LiKE MY TEACHERS TO MAKE THE CLASS MORE FUN BY PROJECTS AND FiELD TRiPS BECAUSE STUDENTS GET MORE iNTERESTED WHEN THiER HAViNG FUN MORE THEN WHEN THiER JUST DOiNG WORK ON PAPER, PLUS iTS OUR LAST YEAR HERE AND WE SHOULD HAVE FUN!!
BY MAKiNG THiNGS MORE FUNN i THiNK THAT MY GRADES WiLL GO UP MYSELF..iM JUST SAYiNG WHAT i FEEL…
–KELSEY
Sorry about my spelling mistake on the word vpass in te first sentence. Please let me know if anybody notuces any more.
This year I will get better grades and stop being so lazy. Also I will be nicer to my mom and my friends. My goals this year would be to study for tests and listen more
This new year I want to do better in school. I’ve never got straight A’s before so that is my goal for this year. Also I want to stop getting in confrentations with other peaple. Because I end up sitting in the office for half the day and I miss school work and my grades go down. So that effects my chance of getting straight A’s.
hmm well in 2007 i want to be like the end of 2006. the end of 2006 was great for me. I met alot of new friends and just had a great time, though i let my grades drop and i was getting in alot of trouble at home. I want 2007 to be a better, more fun year, not the year i throw away all my potential, as my mom says ive been doing alot of lately. Also, i want 2007 to be less dramatic and for people to grow up instead of being immature. Everyone makes abig deal out of nothing. Kids want to start fights just because someone stepped on thier ‘new’ shoes. feh. Anyways.. hopefully this year will be less dramatic, more fun and whatnot. Besides i start highschool this year, things will be better eventually :] I dont really have any goals in mind right now
For 2007, i plan on doing better in school, with grades and behavior. Second quarter was not good, and already Mr.Moshe decided to take 10 points off my grade the first day back, so here i am trying to get those points. I set a goal: to listen better in class and actually get stuff done this second semester.
All I want for this year is to pas the FCAT get good grades and to have fun. I think that in schol we do to much work. especially in science class. Those in my science class know what I am talking about. Learning gets boring after a while if you don’t add any fun to it.
*What do you want of it?
In 2007 i want a year full of fun and exitment
*What are you willing to make happen for yourself?
I am willing to try harder and set higher goals
*Gonna set some goals?
Like i said before i am going to set higher goals in school and in life
*Are you considering others?
Yes, in this new year I intend to consider others
Well this year my resolution is to be alot nicer to others and for people start getting of the couch get, your eyeballs off the screen and enjoy the fresh air while you can because the way it is looking now a days the clear blue sky will become a hazy green bog of war, hattred and above all discrimination. So we should learn to try to get along with people even if you dislike them you should just learn to live with things that are not fair because the real world isn’t all happy and war free its filled with loads of things i’m sure most people wouldn’t wan’t to hear in there wildest dreams. So maybe if people would become nicer and learn to live with these situations then things like the war wouldn’t be happening or even discrimination which I hate because as Nicole G stated “everyone is the same in there own way so deal with it so you can get the best out of life before there is nothing more to enjoy about it.
this year i am mainly looking foward to having a more live and exciting year than 2006. the main thing i am willing to do for this year is get better progress with my low areas in reading and i believe that’s about it. my main goal for this year is to stay focus on schoolwork…. Also another goal is me bringing up some of my grades cuz i know i could do much better
Amanda- I kinda resent my comment too-it was a bit to strong. My blood was boiled as I typed because I sudden remenbered a program on the History channel about the Civil aftermath with thousands of deaths. Uh, so, sorry? Heh. I do agree that we has grown to acept each other’s opinions more as time goes on through. I also agree that conflicts cause many problems, such as wars, and there will be always conflicts since we all have different thoughts and opinions. The CNC is swell, as it promotes peaceful reasoning. Er, I think I wasted enough of your time, so… I’ll stop now. But I’m willing to debate more, if you like.
…In 2007 i want people to stop arguing over dumb things,most of the time i realize that most of the problems can be solved other than arguing.
…Im willing to change my attitude, i’ll learn to bite my tongue on certain occassions ,but if you need to say something so that people dont walk all over you then so be it.
…My goals are to graduate from middle school with good grades so i can get into a high school that i’ll enjoy ,and don’t have to worry about stabbings and shootings.
…Considering others as in being more sincere… yeah i’ll try but everyone knows i have a problem with people who are disrespectful so this year instead of me getting all mad about it i’ll be childish just like them and whatever they do to me i’ll do it back! ! (lord bless my soul) !lol !
-HAPPY NEW YEARS, AND MR. MOSHE I LOVE YOUR HAIR! !-
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For 2007, my new years resolution is to stop fightng with my sister like I did last year. I also want to get better grades this year and focuse more on my schoolwork than I did last year. And study more for the FCAT to get a good score to get advanced classes in high school. And hopefully actually get to do all this without not commiting to what I said I would do. ; )
One of the basic things I want for the year is that the teachers of the school are nicer. I also want to be better in class and at home. Doing my classwork and paying attention to my teachers, even the boring ones, not to name anyone or point any fingers. I also want to be able to have less homework, or being able to do my homework faster so that I have time to do things that I want to do.
I am willing to stand up for myself and stop being so scared of people and the things I want to do. Mainly people who are weird, crazy, and are out of their minds. Oh man, I’m afraid of myself. Anyway, I also want to try to get some sort of income, like trying to get about $45-$50 a month. I don’t know how since I can’t get a job yet.
I’m don’t really have any goals that you don’t already know about. I take each day as it goes, or setting a goal for about a month later is the most I’ve ever really planned ahead. I have planned far ahead for two things, and the only person I’ve told about that is my best friend A.J.
I’m not really considering others in this school. That may seem kind of harsh, but I’ll tell you why. Not many people consider me at this school, so before I came back I made a promise to myself. I will only care about me. No one else but ME!!!!! Though outside of the school, sure. I considerlots of people. If I didn’t my brother would be pretty messed up because he is always biting and scratching me. Those are really the only thing that I have planned for the NEW YEAR
P.S. Happy New Year. everyone
The year of 2007, Cannnot wait to see what lies ahead maybe new things that determine our future. Heck! we might even find a cure to aids or something better for out cars to run off of. But, my new years resolution would be maybe try not to let the ipod I just got get stolen(LOL). Also, act more of my age and try to work out more hopefully because im to lazy and study my but off for the FCAT And get a high score and get advanced classes for high school. I need that for the job im getting well that’s my new years resolution, Hoopefully I follow threw with it!. ; )
*For the 2007-2008*
*i hope it will be fun. and full of excitment
* i am willing to pay more attention in school and try to bring up my grades and pay less attention on after school actvites and focus more on school
* my goal that im going to set is to not to stay up soo late because if i do i cant get up. and it effects how i do in school.
*i dont have any goals for anyone !?!?
-amanda
well my new year goal is to participate more…and be involved in school so that i cango to a good school
-WELCOME 2007- -R.i.P 2006-
This year should be more relaxed. We should all let go of our old grudges and move on. This is a brand new year out with the old in with the new. We all have a chance now to start over and leave all the bad behind. Last year must have been really bad for others and now you could all change that
Take this new year as a journey. Explore new things and new ideas.
It will be all worth it.
Mr. Moshe, are we allowed to post more than once?
I resent the “narrow-minded nitwits” comment.
Just kidding…. kind of.
Samantha– People didn’t talk a lot in my class’ discussion, either. It was always the same people to lead everybody else, but I think that the fear to step up to the plate was from the idea of being wrong, or some one going up against them with a different opinion. CNC (The Center for Nonviolent Communication) promotes open-mindedness, a factor that is needed to keep conversations peaceful. Thinking about the subject more from my last post, I have noticed that even discussions can have rivalry. Tension between two or more opinions on a subject can turn into something that can possibly lead to violence. That is the problem with the history of time. As Samantha was saying, freedom of speech was tolerated in the past, but as the world in general, we’ve grown to accept it. Now we’re just battling between the differences with major opinions and lifestyles, hence, war, but we’ve all come together in one way or another (example: the United Nations).
Sorry, more blabs from me! I just wanted to point out that just talking can lead to problems.
WOW! Amanda V. you posted a lot.
The Center for Nonviolent Communication:
I think the Center for Nonviolent Communucation has a gallant vision. It promotes an environment where everyone can say what’s on their minds truthfully and peacefully, unlike the days of yore where someone would be beheaded(and/or worse) for not following the mainstream. An example was the sanguinary raids from the South during the aftermath of the Civil war.
While reading the website, my mind stumbled upon the reminiscence of the Discussion Test. At least in my class, if I remenber correctly, many people were frighten to talk about their thoughts of the Time Machine. Of course, there were some who were drawn to the discussion, like it was their second nature. Or maybe it was because it was a test, I can’t read minds. Er, sorry for babbling on about my thoughts.
Regardless, I think if we keep doing the Discussion test, everyone, or for the most part, would get more comfortable speaking “from the heart” with a worry of a critical conflict of any kind, and maybe even broaden his/her mind, atleast a dab. And that’s the Center for Nonviolent Communication’s mission-to jumpstart the convalescent for the inhabitants of a daft world once ruled by narrow-minded nitwits.
This discussion is extra credit, so you don’t have to post to it at all.
If you want to post to this, here’s what you do:
Option #1
Go to the website – http://www.cnvc.org/
Look it over with an open mind.
Then return to this thread and post your answers to the four questions.
Or
Option #2
Just post your answers to the four questions.
* What do you want of it?
I want a year of truth and enlightenment.
* What are you willing to make happen for yourself?
I’m willing to gain more knowledge and be less clingy, perhaps even to aim for a tranquil uprising.
* Gonna set some goals?
Yeah, I will. I will listen to others more and try to be myself.
* Are you considering others?
Yes? I am willing to listen to others for thier genuine opinion(s).
For Olivia,
I think we are supposed to answer Mr. Moshe’s four questions on the new year and post your idea(s) on the data found at the website for The Center for Nonviolent Communication.
I dont understand what were supposed to post to this blog. Do we post about the time machine or do we go the website given and post any sourse of information about it???
Someone please reply back. I appreciate it. Thanks.
Great work Amanda – your talent at expressing yourself is paying off.
Does anyone have anything to say about something Amanda expressed?
I’ll tell ya’. If what Amanda posted doesn’t give someone the opportunity to say something – agree or disagree, I don’t know what will.
If you read her post and said in your head, “…hmmmmm. I don’t see it that way.” Then you should post. And explain yourself.
If you read her post and said in your head, “…hmmmm, that’s how I feel.” But you would express it another way. Then you should post. And explain yourself.
The Center for Nonviolent Communication:
My opinion is not meant to sound rude, but it is just that: my opinion.
Violence is inevitable, and it’s a part of human instinct. Unfortunately, we have not fully matured yet, so now would be an ideal time to teach us the importance of non-violent communication. Despite this, I don’t think that we should be forced into the subject. I must admit that I am not a pacifist by nature. While I agree with some aspects of non-violent communication, I also disagree with it. War is created from the failure to communicate. I may sound arrogant and uninformed to you, but I truly feel that trying to drill into the minds of today’s youth that everything has to be settled nonviolently, is almost close to impossible. I have also come to a conclusion that a few choice students that I know are too wrapped up in their own worlds to really care for the subject. Only mature minds can fully comprehend and use language as a healer. As a very broad thinker myself, I find violence completely idiotic and confusing, but I realize and understand that it’s a part of life. Violence is not something we can ‘un-teach’ ourselves all the time, especially at our age. We still have cliques and our problems still grow from the people we hang around the most.
I don’t think my answer is substantial enough. My ideas are all over the place, I know. I am going to try to expand my answer by quoting from other answers:
“Also, I want people to stop being mean & stuck up like they think their better than others. That annoys me sooo… much! Everyone is the same in their own way. So get over your-self.”
As Nicole G. from period two stated, our youth has many problems. This violence from being ‘stuck up’ and ‘mean’ creates personal problems within a clique, as I was saying earlier. Maybe the way to heal this miscommunication within our own groups is to meet new people. Mr. Moshé is doing a fine job by separating us to meet and interact with new people. A person’s friends are a very heavy influence on their actions. Should those friends be violent, it is safe to say that violent tendencies will show themselves in you as well.
“Not so violent with the war and stuff. More of a peaceful world. Not saying the war is going to end but maybe the war slow down.”
Neha from period two has similar ideas as I do. I’m stuck in the middle between violence and nonviolence. I do not tolerate fights with other people and I avoid it. If someone wants to have a problem with me, I don’t really care. If someone has a problem with someone else, I wouldn’t care, either. My opinion: let them learn their lesson. I keep myself a peaceful person by completely shutting myself away from all that fighting, because I think that it is all real stupid. War will not end, as Neha says, and I will not get in the middle of it.
In summation, since the dawn of time, mankind has shown violence. Nonviolence and violence are a part of life. Expanding our toleration for other people will lessen violence. I don’t feel that I should include myself, but we all need to grow up and know that we have the whole rest of our lives. Why waste our youth in petty fights over people we will most likely never see again? We must focus more on our schooling. Education, by completely surrounding ourselves in it, will shut negative actions off.
Yes, I’m ranting. This was no great, extraordinary answer, but it did release all my feelings on the whole nonviolent communication issue in a more … proper manner than I would have since this is for school.
“Most commonly known as 2007 is here”? What else is it known as?
• What do you want of it?
I don’t really know. I never do. I’m basically riding the year on hopes of getting out of middle school and escaping to my dream of high school. That’s the main highlight of this year for me, and it shall be the subject for some of the other answers.
• What are you willing to make happen for yourself?
I’m willing to give myself an even better education. I still have to look for ideal high schools. Once I have a clear understanding of what I want to do as for a career and the rest of my life (yes, I think ahead), I’ll make sure that I do everything 110%.
• Gonna set some goals?
No. I don’t see a need to. I think that I’m doing everything that I want already. The only goals that I have don’t apply to school and have to do with my writing.
• Are you considering others?
Others? Like… goal others? Yes, I do. I consider working more on my schoolwork, but it has not become a full goal for myself yet.
UMMMMMMM… Mr. Moshe` there’s something wrong with the date. On the blog it says… 11:25 pm but, it’s 9:27 pm. Just letting you know.
-Nikki
*HAPPY NEW YEAR*
~2007 – 2008~
*YEAR 07 – 08*
*THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE THE BEST*
This *New Year* I would like to see… my friends stop fighting, better grades, more fun things & less work. My friends need to stop fighting over stuipd things & just get along, because this is our last year in 8th grade & we might not see each other again. They got to stop acting like their STUCK UP & get over it.
I want to get better grades in… science, American History, & math. I want teachers to stop giving us sooo……… much work & give us some fun projects & things. I wish teachers would let us pick our own partners.*hint*
~*YEAR* 07 – 08~
*THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE THE BEST*
This *NEW YEAR* I would like to have more fun in some of my classes & instead of lots of work made fun projects. Also, I want people to stop being mean & stuck up like they think their better than others. That annoys me sooo… much! Everyone is the same in their own way. So get over your-self. Finally, I would like my friends to stop fighting over ridiculous things & enjoy the rest of the year & 8th grade, because next year we might not see each other.Also, i would like to get better grades in some classes.
*YEAR 2007*
This year I want people to be more honest. Last year I felt as though so many people were lieing to me just to make me feel better. I dont want this year to be the same. I want a change, I want to feel as though I can trust people.
I am willing to forget all bad that happened last year, and let go of all grudges that I had. After all, it is a brand new year. This is a good idea for others to. Let go of your grudges it feels a whole lot better than keeping all that anger bottled up for another year. forgetting all the bad is a great way to start off fresh again and not feeling put down.
My main goal this year is to be more open, to tell my feelings and not be afraid that I am going to hurt someone. Most of the time I am so scared to say no. But now that I think of it why should I be, if I dont want to, I dont have to. It’s my choice, and not anyone elses.
I am hoping to make some more goals as the year progresses.
I want a new year with more fun and enjoyment then the last year. Not so violent with the war and stuff. More of a peaceful world. Not saying the war is going to end but maybe the war slow down.
I am willing to have a more serious year when it comes to homework. I do my homework but it takes me awhile to sit down and do it. Usually I get up and watch T.V or go outside in the middle of doing it. So I will try to sit and do my homework all at one time with out doing anything in the middle of it.
My goals this year are to eat healthy and exercise more. I am not trying to lose wait but to have a healthier body. That’s because that I eat so much junk food and as you all know that’s bad for your body. Junk food gives you acne and getting acne just because something tastes good is not worth it. Not saying I am giving up junk food but I’ll eat way less than I am eating now. Plus eat more fruits and vegetables.
Eating healthy is just one thing for your body to be healthy. So I’ll start exercising more. Play more sports with my brother, jog around the block in the morning or afternoon, this plus so much more.
