It’s the start of 2017 and millions of Americans are hopeful about keeping their New Year’s Resolutions. Some have broken their promise already of New Year’s Day, and others are going strong, resisting temptation to fall back onto unhealthy habits whether it be a poor food diet, or a need to become kinder. Here at Clarke, there are a variety of NYR that students have made to keep for this coming year. I asked around the school to get an insight of what people are doing new this year to better their character and health. I received a variety of responses, and here are some:
“Show up to school on time” - Andy Hurtado
“Exercise more” - Ethan Potter
“Make more money” - Chris Kosman
“Eat healthier” - Sydney Sickels
While many ridicule the concept of New Year’s Resolutions, or if people simply think they are fine where they are, this idea of becoming a new you has been known to be a fresh start to many. But the challenge with NYR is that many go into them without a clear plan on how to stay on track. I asked the same people what their plan was to keep their resolutions in check and these were their responses:
“Wake up earlier” - Andy Hurtado
“Plan out my day to fit in more exercise” - Ethan Potter
“Invest and work at my job more” - Chris Kosman
“Balance my eating portions” - Sydney Sickels
