Many people like to set goals for themselves each year to help them accomplish something that they wanted to do in that previous year. Goals can be something like starting to eat healthily or going to the gym every week or even just brushing your teeth three times a day. It is important to set goals for yourself in life. So today I decided to ask some students what their biggest goal is for this year.

         Many of the students’ answers to this question were to pass all their classes and their grade level. But there were also some other answers. For example, a student, Kate’lynn Williams, said that her biggest goal this year was to do good in softball. Another student, Charity Bagley, stated that her goal was to make her family proud by doing good in school. Creating and setting goals like this can help you through school and through life.

         Do you have a goal this year that you want to achieve this year? If not, I challenge you this year to set a goal for yourself and achieve it. Set a goal that will motivate you. It can be something small or it can be something big, it is your choice. It might seem like a dumb idea now, but trust me, it will be worth it.
