School Year Goals 2012

It's now August and that means that school is right around the corner. In fact, I'm headed out today to do all my school supply and fall clothes shopping. Surprisingly, I'm really excited for this year. Now that I've adjusted to going to a different school, I have a feeling that a lot of great things are in store for me this year. But, in order to ensure that I have a successful year, I'm setting some goals for myself that will be effective as of August 16th (the 1st day of school)...

1. Go to bed early. (Like 9/9:30) This summer, I've realized how much tired and unfocused I get when I don't get enough sleep.

2. When it's homework time, the phone and computer are put away. I had a big problem with this last year. When I was "researching", I found myself on Pinterest or Facebook time and time again. This was probably the reason for my grades not being as high as I wanted them to be.

3. Don't be afraid to ask for help. I'm a somewhat shy person, so asking the teachers/tutors for help has always been a challenge for me. But I really need to do it.

4. Be more organized. (Basically meaning keeping all my binders organized)

5. Be more involved. Last year, I was only in like 1 club. If I want to get into BYU Provo, I know that I need to be even more involved. So, I've decided I will be in the following clubs this year....

> Young Republicans
> Student Coalition
> Rock Bridge Reaches Out
> Future Doctors of America
> Ambassadors
> Model U.N. (maybe, it depends on my schedule)

6. Read and research ALL the things my teachers tell me to research.


All in all, I really think that this school year is going to be a successful one for me. I know that if I stick to these goals, it for sure will be a successful one.
