new years! - 2010

Like most, I celebrate New Year’s by going to parties! I was invited to three different parties this year and we decided to go to my mom’s friend’s party! We eat, play games, have fun, and watch the ball drop in New York! You can’t help but remember all the ups and downs of the past year like big accomplishments. Some I remember are my eighth grade awards night, my first day of high school and my Confirmation. All these were amazing moments in my life that I will remember forever. I look forward to the coming year, not only for our skating show we have at my ice rink but for a big step in any teenager’s life, starting to drive. Fourteen and nine months I will start driving. I cannot wait, this is something I will take with me the rest of my life and I get to start in 2010!
Along with remembering the old and new I also make new years resolutions! To me the definition of resolutions, is a promise I will try to keep to help improve my life in this coming year. This year my plan includes eating better or healthier. Make my portions healthier and the food I eat. I am going to try not to eat junk food or fattening foods like I normally do. Another thing I need to start doing is exercising like running or working out. I am in bad shape and I need to get in better shape. It would be healthier and a better life choice.
One more thing I need to work on is my study skills for school. Normally on school days I hang out with friends after school instead of concentrating on studying for tests or quizzes I have which in turn makes my test scores low and then makes my grade in the class lower. I need to not do anything on school days and concentrate on school and studying then save plans for the weekend. I cannot wait for this New Year and hope it will be a great one!
