New Years means alot to me. On January 1 is my mom birthday, so I made a New Years resolution to give her something special. I though about giving her an Adele CD for her birthday ,but i don't have money. I was going to ask my dad but i didn't. She not mad though. My other one was i am going to get a 6 pack of abs! Everyone thinks I'm alittle big, so i want to cut some weight. My brother has on so i need one too. My brother is a year and a day older that me, so i want to bench press more than him. He is only 15bls. ahead of me. I can and will bench more than him. My next one is i want to a nicer and more freindly person. I'm not mean or anything but i can be a jerk sometimes. I love to have freind, and i'm a fun person to be around. I also want to help people out when they need it. Like giving someone a hug when they feel sad or lonely. i also want to get my learners when i turn 15 this year. my brother got his on his birthday. His birthday is right next to mine. We will probly go on my birthday.

In 2012 my 5 resolutions Would have to be being kinder,smarter,more of myself,mentaly stronger,and calmer.First,I would like to be kinder.I think I can be mean sometimes,but I am Bi-polar so Its going to be hard for me.Then I want to be smarter.I'm already smart in the first place,but sometimes I feel pretty stupid.So I would like to be smarter or at lest feel some what smarter.After that I want to be more of myself.I am getting better at it .Which I am highly proud of ,but I can always use more help in that area.Plus when I am completely myself one of these days.I have this dream I will own millions and be a rock star when I do.After that I want to be Mentaly stronger.I lose my head of anything.I cry alot.I get angry alot.I then get sad and so on and so on.Then again I am bi-polar so I guess that has alot to do with it.Lastly I want to be calmer.I think If I have a calmer mind It will help me during the day.It will Help me make better choices I mean.These are the 5 things I want to improve in the year 2012.Wish me all the luck in the world

My 2012 resolutions were hard to think of and before it came I thought and thought. My 5 resolutions would be eating healthier,becoming more outgoing,not putting myself down,also excercising more, and improving on my cleaning skills (like cleaning my room). My first resolution being healthy was that I use to be overweight when I was in elementary. I didn't care about anything until I started eating healthy and when my friend Nick

The things I want to improve on is my grades. I want them to be spot on, so I can go to the high school. I really want to see how it works over there. The teachers are hopefully just as helpful as these ones here in 8th grade. It doesn't matter how I pass ,but I want no grade less then a 90 on my report card. I working hare to get it , but the road is getting tougher and tougher. I can't wait to see my hard work on that report card. I want to really see me go to the University of Florida. I just want to play sports there. It's tough to make it out this city ,but I can do it. It takes patience and self-courage.

to start off my year i have a few resulitons that i would like to complete throughout the year. i will do this as if it is a top charting and start with lhe least important. the fith resoultion that i would like to complete is to always stay on task. i say this because at home i start to do my chores but get side tracted and not finish which then gets me it trouble.also at school i get caught up in talking instead of doing or finishing my work. my fourth reason is that i want to get better grades. this is because i im only at an c avrage and i want to have a a avrage so i can be honors classes next year.after this i want have more effort in my work instead of slacking off. secondly i want to not get in trouble at all because i need to improve my behavior. my top reason is that i want to be truthful and never tell a lie except if i have to. those are my reasons to to become a better person. those are my resolutions.

I'm not to sure that I realy make any new years resolutions, but if Idid, my first I would try to be a better older brother, because i,ve been a not so good one so far. I get aggitated through out the day, so I take it out on who ever gets in my way. I'm normally more helpful than any one else in my family,so my younger siblings come to me for help or any thing they need. I try to ignore any nuisances, but it's really hard to with a huge family in a double wide trailer.

My first New Year's resolution is to get better in math. Last 9 weeks, I learned that this 9 weeks count more and if i wanted to go to the 9th grade with people i know I need to start getting better grades. My second resolution is to teach my sister how to ride our four-wheeler. I've keep telling her I would but then I'd get to caught up in other stuff so I never have the time to. My third resolution is to stop getting in trouble in connections classes. Even though I don't have the teacher's class I was getting in a lot of trouble in, I still get in trouble in my other connections class, just not as much. My fourth resolution is to start doing these web questions more often. I've been so caught up with other schoolwork, especiallay math that I forget to do them every week. My last and final resolution is to get all my resolutions done with before the end of this yeaar.

I would like to do greatly on the CRCT. If I do score good, it look good on me going into HIgh-School. I would like to stop fighting with my sister. Me and her can't get along. We are always fighting. Sometimes I start it, and sometimes she starts it. My last goal is to have a good year. I want to finish out school strong and start next year strong. want to start out next year good too, I want to be ready for all the chalenges 2012 brings me. Bring it on 2012.

my new years resolutions are workout, upgrade my style, get better grades(especially in math),try not to be mean to my little brother,and study a little bit more than what i'm doing now.I want to start working out so i can feel like i've accomplished my full complete physical change. Because my mom says i'm skinny and i want to be skinny for a reason and i think working out with other people is fun.I also want to upgrade my style or swagger i need it. When people say i have none i pretend like i don't care but inside i really do. I think to myself that i have no sense of style really i don't know how to mix it up.

Not all five of my resolutions are ABSOLUTELY major in my opinion. However, a couple may be. One will be that I want to draw better. My drawing are already pretty good, and I got a new computer software for Christmas. You draw comics with it, and last time I checked, I wasn't the best with a tablet.

With some goals not accomplished from 2011 we all want to make this year a wonderful experience.many people want to accomplish things in careers,sports, and even school grades. Me I have a good bit of goals. Some have to do with school,sports,and myself. I would like to improve my grades and have all As on my report card. I would also like to improve my tumbling skills and maybe make my backhand spring way better than it is. I want to get better grades because I want to really be put in good classes in high school so that will help before I go to college. I want to improve my tumbling skills because it will help me be more fit. To be fit you can do a lot more things, like improve your back handspring which I would also like to do. I want to be a fit person not an unhealthy fat person who whines and complains about it but never does anything.

UM.... well, first and foremost I would like to make sure I don't die! Just kidding; I don't think were gonna die in 2012. However, I want to be more healthy when it comes to dietary needs. I don't eat like I should, and want to do a lot better when it comes to eating. My health is very important to me. It would be devastating for my parents to see me in bad conditions. This brings me to another health issue I'd like to improve. Not physical, but spiritual health (in other words my religion). I've been needing to get into the bible, and I bought a daily devotional book. Even though it isn't the WHOLE bible, it still covers all the books of the bible, beginning to end, using verses. My third resolution would be applying that to my everyday life. I'm mostly nice and "Christianly" (that's not a real word), but I'm nowhere near perfect and become moody.

My first resoulution would be to get better grades. Im doin pretty good now, but maybe if I brought them up my mom would stop freaking out about them. My second resolution would be to stop aguring with my brother. We fight over alot of things. We agrue over shotgun, where the toothpaste goes,and who gets the computer at momas work. Every single mornin we have the same fight over who gets shotgun. I think sence hes still in elementary that I deserve it, but iI guess moma doesnt agree with that. My third resolution would be to be better at soccer. I was on the team last year but I had no idea what I was doing. Makenzie helped me out alot. So maybe if I practice I play again this year. My forth resloution would be to get my backhand spring. I had it about 2 months ago, but then I fell on my head really really hard. Then I couldnt do it after that. So i will keep practiceing at not fall on my head again and then I can get it! I dont really have a fifth resolution. Maybe I will make one sometime down the year!

One thing about new years is resolutions,and if I had to choose five resolutions I would have to think. First I would want to be nicer. I say this because I believe if I were nicer things would be better. Also if I were nicer I would have more things come to me kinda like karma. Next I would try to keep my room cleaner. My mom says my room is never clean, but it is. So I am going to keep it clean under her standers. Also I would try to do better grade wise. Because I make honor roll, but there is usually one high b. Then low to high A's. I want to keep all my grades middle A's. One more thing would be not to break my phone more than twice. Usually I break at least 4 phones. Lastly I would want to keep everything in good condition. Usually it is, but some things do break, and I want that to stop, but some things will break, and I can"t stop that, but I don't want to break alot of things. That is my five new years resoultions

Last year was the best all thanks to you and the rest of my teachers! But my first resolution is to work harder on writing and presenting poems and reports. Which I am not doing so well. The second is to work with my stepfather at the habitat for humanity. The third is to be kinder to others and try to help them more. Which will be hard for me. The fourth is to try to pay more attention during class and not fail it at all. The last is to try not to be so quiet and try to be a bit social.

Though 2011 was quite a year, I barely accomplished any of the resolutions I made the year before. Yet, it is now 2012, and I am looking forward to accomplishing ALL of the resolutions I have planned. Though they may seem boring resolutions for one to make in the light of a new year, all but one are presumably the most important resolutions I’ve made all my life.

I have recently made a huge change to the way they live. Instead of spoiling them by placing their small cage in my room, I moved their cage into the kitchen, that way they could start to understand the process of growing older, and hopefully rely a little less on me. I was even given another cage for my smaller dog Blonde Bomer to rest inside. I almost gave in the first day they slept in the kitchen. Though Cinnamin seemed fine, she had that distraught look on her face and was poking it right against the tiny bars of the cage. The look resembled that of the expressions that those animals have on the animal cruelty commercials. Blonde Bomer wouldn’t stop whining the whine he whined when he was afraid. Yet, Cinnamin and Blonde Bomer needed to mature before they could move on. As of 2012, they can hopefully conquer potty training next.

Thankfully, I don’t have trouble falling asleep, and don’t wake up until early or late morning. I like to think of Friday as a day where I can somewhat redeem all the hours of sleep I’ve lost during the week, and when I awake, I feel replenished for another set of six days. Though the system may seem terrible, it works rather well. Despite this, however, I have made getting more sleep as my final resolution, though it will be difficult to carry out.

My new year resolution is passing the writeing test and the CRCT,makeing new friends in high school,geting more girls in church and becoming more of a christan also looseing 15lbs. I want to pass the writeing test so I can go to high school so I can make my family happy. I want to pass the CRCT and all the sections to make myself happy and my teachers even my friend. If I go to high school I want to meet my old friends and also try to make new friend so we can all be together. I want to get at least 5 more girls so we can play games like basketball and to show them whats it like being a christan. I want to become more of a christan so I can get to know god in my life more. So I can become a Sister. I also want to loose 15lbs. Because so I can feel energetic while I'm in high school. Even I'll be happy about myself that I did it. It will also keep me in shape. High school is a lot more challening. So I want to be perpared for that people may say that it is a long way away but really time flys by really quickly. So its actually not. So that is why I'm perpareing for it. I want to show my friends what I can do. Also to make my family proud. For me I want to make an aproument in myself. So I can be happy for what I did. Even so I can be perpared for what the high school gives me.

For this new year,I have a few things that I would like to change and improve. One: Do a little bit better in school. I know sometimes i forget things like homework and such. I want to change that. I can easily see where I wrote that down and complete my homework. I am really looking forward to improving my grades also. This homework reminder will help me to get better grades. Two: try to eat healthier. I know I do not make the best choices in food. Instead of coming home and eating chips or whatever, I can eat an apple or something instead. I will feel better and feel more ready for the next school day. Three: Stop being so lazy! My mom never has a "list" of chores for me to do so when she asks me to do little chores. I don't want to. I do them eventually. But maybe I can just do it now so I can get it over with so it wont be so bad. Four: Try not to fight with my sister. We don't physical fight... well when we do she starts it..... But anyway, i want to try to treat her more nicely and hopefully she will do the same. Five: Be nicer to my parents. When they ask me to do something, I always make it clear sometimes why I dont want to do something. I d it eventually. But I should not have a response and just go do it because I dont do nearly enough for them. SO I hope i can acomplish my New Year's resolutions!

WEll my new year resoulations are to have a great year, pass the CRCT, and start over with my grades. cause that would be a good thing because I could get my grade higher and move on to the next grade and and to just have a really good year with my teachers and connections. Cause if I can do all of this I will be ready for next year. It would be a good thing if I passed I could go on to the next grade and go to highschool and do sports there. So all of these are my resoulations for the new year.

I havne't really thought about my new year's resolution yet. It's really late to start thinking, but now I guess I have to. My first resolution would be to eat healthier. I already eat pretty healthy, but I eat ALOT of junk food still. This would be good because it would a step closer to being healthier. My second one would be to be more active. I spend a majority of my time in my room. That is unhealthy. By getting more active I am making myself more healthy, and I will probably be a little happier. My third resolution is to learn to forgive people more easily. I am bad about holding grudges over little things. This can be potentially bad for my relationships with my friends and family. I don't want to be that way, so I will start forgiving people. My fourth resolution is to grow up. This isn't something I can just wake up and do. It takes time, and it takes effort. I need to grow up a little. The smallest things bother me, and I'm too immature most of the time. That can get me in trouble. The only solution is to grow up some, so that is what I'm going to do. my fith and final resolution is to be nicer to my parents. I always yell at them, and tell them rude things, but I need to change that. One day they won't be around and I will regret being so mean to them when I was younger. I don't want to be that way. I want to look back at my relationship with my parents and admire how good it was. This is another thing that I can't change over night or in a day. It will take alot of effort and work. All of these resolutions will be hard either because I'm giving up something I love, I just don't want to put forth the effort to change it, or because It will require alot of work and persistance.

I'm not really one to make resolutions because that puts pressure on you to break it. Below are a list of great and wonderful things that I would love to do this year. Although if I don't accomplish them, I won't be disappointed in myself. I'll have fun doing them and WANT to continue my list. We ALL want to eat better, work on our fears, improve our grades, and our relationships and I hope to continually work on those things daily. Right now my job is to be a student and a 13 year old girl and to do my best, have some fun, and learn from my mistakes.

I have many New Year's Resolutions. First there is practicing more baseball. Since I live with my mom, I dont have any body to practice and throw with. Now, I have a net. I can pitch and throw into it to keep getting my arm stronger. I can hit into it too.

There are many things that I would like to accomplish. I only get to choose 5. These are: fixing things like gocarts, doing more playing in the yard, working on my brain.Sometimes your brain just needs a workout. You have to give it one. I know I am not doing a very good job. Oh, 2 more things is to take pride in myself. That will be hard for me to do. I don't know why. It just will. I would also like to clean more in my house. By that I mean helping my mom. Cooking supper or whatever it may be. I always wanted to fix things, but now my dad said we could. My brothers got a go cart one year, but it's been broke for a long time. So I decided to fix it. Since I have not done the blogs.That is why I am not doing a very good job. Those are for the new year. Accompilshments I want to make.

Well, my new years resolutions are to 1. Make better grades in school. Because when i dont make good grades I get grounded. And when i get grounded my phone gets taken. And i cant live without my phone! 2. Be nicer to my brother and my sister. Because when we fight my mom gets mad. And we get grounded. And our phones get taken. Number 3 is to stop being so consumed by how I look.Noone judges how you look as much as you judge yourself. Number 4. to find a part time babysitting job. As of today i already have one. So now ill have money.And number 5. to be a better person. Some times I can be kinda mean to some people who get on my nerves. And I want to feel like i always should give back to others who ned some one to help them. And tell them that everything is gonna be ok. So those are my new year resolutions. I hope that most if them come true. Some of them already have.

My 1st resolution is that im going to try and be a better person. I am going to try and be nicer to people and you know stuff like that. I have already started by always telling the truth. i never really likes lying any ways. I am going to pay more attention in class. I will keep my grades up as i always do. I will try and be more responsible. i really have to be responsible so I can get a phone. Because I really need my own phone. And i will try my hardest to be responsible and stuff.

New Years means ALOT to me. It takes a special place in my heart. I have lots of New Years resolutions, but im only going to use five of them. New Years rsolutions are important to everyone. Well, atleast they should be. Some people don't have any at all. But, I feel bad for those jerks.

2011 was a good and bad year for me. It was full of sadness, tears, hope, faith, love, and pretty much all emotions as well as birth and death. The first of the year started off with sad things for me. But as the year went on and I made it through, things started to be better and lighten up. And as they say you have to get through the rain to get through the rainbow. Right? Well this year has proven that to be completely true.

If I had to pick five resolutions they would deffinately be to get better grades, help my parents more, be on time, be nicer, and to tell the truth. I want to get better grades because I get in trouble when I don't. I also want to get better grades because its important to me. I want to help my parents more because they always complain I don't do enough around my house. So I want to clean up more. For the most part I want to be on time more. I'm always late getting up and for everything else. I need to work on that the most. I want to be nicer too. Me and my brothers and sister always fight and get in trouble. I'm going to try to be nicer to them so we all don't get in trouble. I can't live without my phone. I want to tell the truth because lieing gets you no where. If you just tell the truth the first time you usually get in less trouble than when you lie. When you lie you have to lie many times usually and it turns into a big mess. So hopefully after all of those resolutions I'll be a much better person. The most important is the time one. Everything will go smoother if I'm on time. Hopefully by the end of this year I will accomplish at least 2 of these resolutions.

My new year resolution would be to, start getting better grades in school. Because school is important. I'm taking it seriously, but not serious enough. Another thing would be to stay to myself. I've learned the hard way that you can't trust anyone. Can't trust anyone and a lot of people change on you. But I'm not changing one bit. I'ma be the same old Ashlee Simone Royal i am today! I'm not changing for nobody!

Its a new year! You know how everybody has a New Year resolution. Well I have a few myself. My first one is to go to ninth grade.That is my most important one. Which I think I will because I do pretty good in school. Another one of my New Years resolution is get stronger. Right now im in the 500 pound weight class. And no thats not how much I weigh it is how much I can lift. I hope to be in the 550 or 600 pound weight class.
