2006 was a year filled with its ups and downs. A lot of good things happened; a lot of bad things happened, but that’s how we get through these years. 2006 was the year I graduated Jr. High and got into a great high school. 2006 was the year my hamster died. 2006 was the year that I made new friends. 2006 was defiantly a year that I went through a lot of grief. To be honest, last year I believe changed me in a few ways. I feel like I’m going to make a difference to many people some how this year. I’m not sure how, but I just got that feeling.
Well, many of you will recognize this. It’s the same meaning of a New Year as I had typed up and put in quotes last year, and I find it to be the defiant meaning, so here it is:
“To me… a New Year means to start over from the beginning, but continue to grow in life. For example, if you were doing bad… you can throw that all of that sin away and make your new year a better one by being a better role model, but you keep growing as well. You heart, your hopes, your dreams… they’ll continue to grow as you grow as well. I’ve already thrown some of my fears and some of my sin away… and now I feel better than ever and I just hope throughout the year I’ll continue to feel that way, and of course… God will continue to guide me through life as well!”

I feel as if I have gotten closer to those friends that I met in 2005, as well as get close to the new friends I had met last year. Last year, you read how I met Jen on May 22nd, 2005. We have defiantly gotten closer. I have gotten closer to other online friends I have known for almost two years now. They’re all great, but I think the best moment for me was when I went to high school and found some girls that wanted to be my friend. I love them all: Alex, Amber, April, Briana, Catarina, Emily, Genny, Sierra. You are all great, and I thank you all for being by my side helping me out and just being the great people you are! That goes for my online friends as well. Thank you all…
Wow… I actually made goals for this year, and I seriously mean these goals. This is what I want to do for myself and for others. Well, here they are:
My Goals for the New Year:
• Take school work more seriously, and pull my grades up
• Be nicer to my little sister
• Help my parents around the house more
• Improve graphic designing and film making during my free time
• I know I can’t quit piano anytime soon. I might as well make time to practice everyday when I’m done with my homework and studies, even if it is chaotic
• (When sophomore year comes) Try to find an elective that will be an easy ‘A’ like choir, but is something I am interested in. Also find a club to join (check out photo club)
I also have others, but I’m not sure how to word them, but now you know what I am planning on doing to change the way I live.
Happy New Year everyone! Have an excellent day!
