MY NEW YEAR PLANS
The New Year is
a great time to reflect on the changes we want to or need to make. If you’re a looking
student at ways to improve yourself. New Year’s Resolution is a secular tradition in
which a person makes a promise to do an act of self-improvement or something
slightly nice, such as opening doors for people beginning from New
Year’s Resolution.
Commit yourself to getting good grades. Good grades are
entirely necessary to get into a good school unless you’re a top notch athlete.
The best case scenario is that you have good grades from the beginning.
However, if you start off badly and improve your grades, colleges will give you
points for this. Many admissions officers won’t look at your application if
your grades are too low or show a steady decline. Spending a night studying
while your friends play We may not excite you, but you need to look at this
long-term. Think of it this way, grades are a bridge. They will serve you to
get into a college where you will have more freedom. In college, grades may not
be as important as in high school.
Try something new. High school is a great time to spread your
wings. It’s about new experiences and self-discovery. Want a certain
internship, there’s no harm in calling up and asking if they have any room for
an eager high school student to work there. Want to try a new sport or
activity, go ahead and try it. You’re not expected to leave high school knowing
exactly what you want to do, but this is a chance to start narrowing down your
interests. You’ll never know what you like – or how good you are at something –
until you try something.
Be excited about
going to college. Wherever you go to college, you’re going to meet new people,
learn new things, and have a great time. That’s reason enough to be excited
whether you end up attending a first choice school or a safety.
