2012

What newness or changes would you like to do for yourself in this new year? (You can come up with two or three aspects and expound on it.)

We cannot turn back the time, so every second counts and every moment is important to us. Every time, when we hail the New Year, we usually bemoan about the things that we did wrongly and the things we failed to do. These can be for family, friends, school, work or just own personal things. Although it would be hard for us to change, we make resolutions to improve ourselves and we try to make thing better and right. Just like other people, I made some new year’s resolutions in an effort to improve myself.

Working hard for having a higher GPA is my first resolution. I have just spent one semester in Brent school but I am already in grade 10 which means that I only have 2 years to enter a university. Though I am a new student here, I realized that my GPA is not good enough to enter my aspired university. Of course, no one wants to go to universities which have bad reputation and my aspired university requires lots of things. Therefore I want to get more than 3.5 of GPA although it is a big challenge for me and I want to satisfy my parents.

Looking back my action, seeing the many things or the things that I bought and ate makes me realize that I spend too much money. Every time I see my allowance, I sigh because of significant negative number which means I spend more money than I am supposed to spend. Instead of spending money for eating, I would save money to buy necessary things such as shoes, bags and more several things. Moreover, my second resolution is to save 1000 pesos from my allowance every month.

Teens today make using bad words part of their lives. I am a teen and I also made using bad words part of my life although using bad words is not good for me. If I keep on suing bad words, I think my future children will learn wrong values from me and it will get worse and worse. So I have decided not to use bad words even if it might be the hardest thing for me but I would give an effort to achieve my goal.

I am looking forward to many positive changes, this 2012. My resolutions which are reaching a higher GPA, saving money and discontinuing the use of bad words may be difficult for me but I believe that I can do it. Through my resolutions, I hope I can have meaningful 2012 and I want to achieve everything though, it would be hard for me.
