Resolutions for the New Year!

Research shows that broad, non-specific resolutions are often not achieved. People who make specific resolutions with plans to achieve them are 10 times more likely to achieve those goals than those people who just make general statements like, "I'm going to lose weight". When writing your resolutions for the new year, make sure that they are very specific, for example:

1. Improve my math grade

VS.

2. Finish the last three chapters in my Algebra book and get make up work from Connie before report cards are due

The second resolution is much more specific and thus, easier to achieve! Please make sure that for each of your 3 resolutions you also provide 2 steps you will take to achieve each goals set forth. Also, make sure that at least one of your resolutions is academic in nature (like the example provided above).
