It's that time of year, AGAIN. Time to make a resolution or goal and play a little game to see how long I can keep at it before it's too hard to continue. Does it sound like I have little or no confidence in myself this year? Does it sound like I've been down this road one too many times? Well, that's because I have.
Every year I have the best intentions and set this lofty goal that I know I'll likely never stick to. Last year it was to spend less money. For the month of January 2011, I was pretty good and only spent money on the necessities such as mortgage, food and gasoline for my car. But if I were to be honest, my month of austerity didn't last very long and it wasn't long before I was buying my favourite things again (shoes and handbags! - :)
For this year I think I will choose to set a goal that improves my life but will still be reachable. This may sound silly but I think I will try to drink more water this year. Drinking water will improve my health and it's a lot cheaper than other drinks.
For my students, a resolution or goal will usually be involved with your learning. Try to think of one or two things that you can and want to achieve for the rest of this year. It could be something such as always remembering to push my chair in or sitting properly in my chair.
What are your goals or resolutions for this year?

I don't really like goals or resolutions. They are kind of boring and not fun.
ReplyDeleteI do want to improve at a couple things. One of my goals is to get more money for my birthday or Christmas and spend it all in two hours instead of three. I also think one of my goals is to lay down the suger but it might be imposible.
One of the goals at school is to sit in my chair properly which I am not doing right now because I forgot. Don't blame me. I will sit on my chair proper and not the way that I will fall backwards and die. Also I could put my chair down and it landed on some one foot and then it would be all my falt and my chair would by taken away.
I think I should stop eating mcdonalds even though it is the most dilisious food in the whole intire world.

I think new year goal is useless yet so nice I gusse is the feeling. I set a goal every year but never achive it. But this year I am trying to set a easy goal but not a very easy one. I'm going to try my best this year to reach my goal.
ReplyDeleteMy new years goal is too not be as jelous when my friends are not talking or playing with me. Because I have too friends who are playing more then with me. And one of them use to play with me everyday. I get really jelous so I am going to work on that as my new year goal.
This year as my school goal I am going to try to start at the beginning of my sentences not the middle. And my next is too start to write neater because my writing is messy.

I think that it is kind of hard to get the right goal,especially if it is something that is hard to do.
ReplyDeleteMy personal goal is to keep my grades as heigh as possible and to try to not argue with my sister and so far it has been very hard, because we share a room and she always makes it so messy.
My school goal is to try to ignore distractions and just keep on working.
I think goals are helpful. They make sure you get better in what ever you wan't to get better in. It does help me a little bit. Some goals are really hard to acchive. Some are to easy so you need to pick reasonable goals.
ReplyDeleteMy personal goal is to keep my room cleaner. because there is junk every where. Then my Mom slips on it and tells me to clean my room. Once I even slipped on something.
My school goal is to sit in my chair propraly. I probably could break my neck. Some times I sit propaly. I hope I never hurt my self.

I think people should stick to their resolution because if they are going to brake their new year resolution Why ? did they make it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteMy new year's resolution is that I will clean up after myself. I am going to stick to my goal for the rest of the year.
My mother always says that she will go on a diet but then she will go of here diet for a day and eat junk food.

I have set a few new years resolutions that never even lasted a few seconds. But they were REALLY REALLY STUPID <.>. My friends had some pretty stupid ones too ;{. Even my sister had stupid ones too:[.
ReplyDeleteMy goal was to Get one hundred trillion dollars so I could get an Xbox 720. Too bad it will probably come out in 2552 :[. But I do want go to mcdonalds and buy one hundred big macs! It would be fun.
Once my dad said he will never eat sweets ever again. He said that for about two years :/. And IT was a promise he made. But one day I went out to the garage and I opened the door I saw my dad stuffing his face with brownies from now on I don't trust him:/

I think new years resolutions are silly. Because people don't even do them. They just choose a hard one then when they cant complete it they choose a easy one and they complete it in a week.
ReplyDeleteMy new years resolution is to play more video games and do my chores more but its going to be possible its noting to be impossible like home reading.
My school goal is to stop getting in trouble and learn the ukalayly and I want to complete faster then the new year. I hope im not the only one who wants to do my new years resolution.

I think that New Year resolution's are werad because when you set a resolution you usually and up breaking it. Not all people do but some people do.
ReplyDeleteMy New Year resolution is to do chores. I don't like to do chores but I do like that I get pay and if I don't I get pay and I'll get grounded.
My school resolution is to get a A in gym. One of the resons that whet a A in gym is because I always got a B in in gym.

I think that setting goals is a good thing. But if you set goal that is to hard or to easy then there is no pont in setting that goal. That's why you have to set a goal that is just right.
ReplyDeleteAt the begning of the year I set a goal to get 1500 steps in R.A.C I reached my goal and set a new one for 1800 steps.
Right now my personal goal is to come up with a personal goal because I don't have one. so ya

I dident make any resolutions about the new year except for one, to be awesome, infact, that's what I said in Canmore!
ReplyDeleteOver the Christmas break, I went to Canmore and when I wasent in the hotel, I was ether in the hotels outdoor heated pool (yes, it was in the winter) or in sunshine ski/snowboard resort. That was the best 2 days of my life!!
Oh! And one more thing, my school goal is to be awesome! That not that hard!
~ angryman 4-two
I think that resolutions are a grate idea.
ReplyDeleteI have not set one before but I think my mom and dad has set one before.
My New years resolution is to be more organised. My parents will like that but I do not think I will do it. I wont last through the year. But I want to try to be more organised. I think i'm going to be more organised for school and at home.

ReplyDeleteWhat do I think about setting new goals and resolutions? Well than let me tell you I do like setting goals/resolutions but only once in a while. Because then I will run out of things I want to make different.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for this year is to drink at least two cups of water or more for the month of January maybe more. I don't think it will be a hard goal I love water and I just want to drink more than I do in a full day.
My first school goal is to sit in my chair properly and not on my knees. this goal will be harder than most because it is a habit that I have always have even at home.
My second school goal is to have my desk cleaner because it is always messy. This goal will be easy because I just have to work hard.
My third and last goal is to be better at math. This goal is going to be a really hard goal because I am not good at math really not good at math.

I think that setting resolutions will be great for me. I really need a lot of goals to keep my brain working. I need to get bater at Fabulous 50 Fiftys.
ReplyDeleteI am not good at multiplication and division.
I don't think that the goals I set are that hard to do. I will try my best to do them. My goals are to read the books I started reading.
My school goal is to try my best at every thing.
~Solaria Stellar

ReplyDeleteFor my goal is to Listen to my mom and my dad

I think new year's resolutions are good. Sometimes because it help people.
ReplyDeleteAt school as a goal I want to write more sentences. At home my goal is cleneing my room.
~bubbles
I think setting resolutions are very nice because it gives me something to do. Some people don't like resolutions but I do. I love trying new this like trying new goals. When I set goals or resolutions same thing but at home I have a goals and one is keep my room clean and eat less junk food. My mother always makes resolutions and like lots of people she does not do it.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of goals and I have never failed one.
I have goals in school and at home. I think that
goals are not hard. But sometimes they can be.
It depend on what the goal is.
One of my school goals are spell better. That is
something I can do. It is not hard and it is easy. I love this goal because I love writing.
At home I am making a book at home and working
on my goal.

I think it is silly to set a new years resolution because you try to hit your resolution you can never hit your goal. One of my resolutions were getting taller it didn't reach it.
ReplyDeletedonkeycheese
I think that my new years resolutions and my resolutions is to keep my room clean every day and make my bed. I want to have neat writing.
ReplyDelete~strawberry
My goal is to be nicer to everyone instead of complaining,,listening better,catch up more on my work,try not to get bothered by people and help people.
ReplyDeletemy personal goal is to help my mom clean more in the house, she cleans almost everyday,and sometimes I think she needs more hands than just 2 hands. Its pretty hard sometimes because when im in the middle of playing a video game I cant help my mom.
my goal in school is to work harder in class and be more kind and listen more. sometimes its hard because somebody distracts you and its hard not to listen to them.
-Rufusomalley
I think they are a good way to help people work
ReplyDeleteharder on achieving things. But some goals are to hard to achieve. Like last year my mom set a goal to stop smoking and....it failed after a week.
I think a good goal for the class is being quieter at lunch.
I have two personal goals. To find a word in the
einglish language that rymes with my name. My other goal is to do better in french and social.I
do not have any other goals.
A school goal I have is to do better in french another is doing homework faster. Getting better
at french is sort of hard. Doing homework faster is hard for me because paying attention is hard.
~bookfreak
I try to set a New Year's resolution every year, and most of the time I don't stick with it either.
ReplyDeleteThis year, I decided that I will speak what is good and true, instead of making fun of people.
I think that is a reachable goal for me.
I'd also like to be better organized, but I don't know if that will happen . . .
