2010!!

Think for a while about what you would like to improve about yourself or your life and make a new year's resolution. Write at least two paragraphs - one focusing on your inspiration for this goal (your shortcomings or areas for improvement) and the other focused on the goal itself and your on-going plan for achievement.

This needs to be realistic and must be something you can work on every month of the year - not just during one sport season, etc. The goal does not have to be academic. Plan carefully! I'm going to check in with you on this throughout the second half of the school year.

I'm a pretty busy person, on-the-go from school to sports to friends and such. I don't always take the time to eat a healthy snack or meal in-between. I end up coming home usually late at night, practically starving and begging my caring father or mother to make me something to eat.

My resolution this year, is to learn how to cook a few types of food. This may seem rather easy, but I struggle with the motivation to learn new things when my parents can easily do it for me. That being said, they rarely agree to do these things and I should probably learn if I ever plan to leave the comfort of my parent's home.
