So this year will be my last year in high school. And I plan on making it count. No, I don't plan to attend all the parties and sieze all opportunities to ditch classes.This time, I plan to work hard. Initially, I always plan on doing this every school year. But, about two weeks in, it always falls apart. I end up with bad grades, not because I am not able to do the work, but just because I simply do not try. I took a long time to think about why this is happening to me, and decided it was time for me to fix it. I made some resolutions for myself and anyone else who may be in the same situation.


1. Get a Good Start!
This year, i vow to get up when I get woken up. No more laying in bed for half an hour. No more rushing around to get ready. I will get up, get ready, and get out.

2. Get Organized and STAY That Way!
This year, i vow to organize my papers, books and supplies, and keep them that way. I won't trow loose papers into my locker, or toss garbage from lunch into my bags.

3. Pay Attention!
This year, i vow not to let boys or friends take all my attention.

4. Do Homework!
No more excuses! I will take the time to do my homework and get it in on deadline.

5. Respect Teachers!
I will take into account all things that my teachers have to say. I will accept their offers for extra help, and respect their rules.

Wish me luck!
