Are you amongst the group of middle aged woman who say you're going to get rid of those love handles every New Year? Well you're not the only one. Around 56% of people either forget their goal or don't keep track of it. A New Year's Resolution is a tradition in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behavior, to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life. Teenagers make resolutions too. East High baseball star athlete Tyrone Roundtree states, “I want to physically and mentally prepare myself for this upcoming baseball season and college career.” He plan to achieve these goals by vowing “to hit the gym and the books as often as possible, schedule to meet with my counselor once a week to make sure I am still on track to be successful and college ready.” College transition and physical health appear to be common goals among young East High students. Fellow East High scholar Pipper Holmes states, “I plan to improve my health, my education, my charisma, and meet my college application deadlines.” To make sure he stays focused and doesn't forgot his goal, Pipper also added, “I will seek help from my counselor Dr. Diodato and show up to advanced weight training every day and take what I learn from there and continue it at home to achieve my new year resolution and not lose track of it.” Some of the common goals around the world tend to be to improve physical well-being, eat healthy food, lose weight, exercise more, eat better, drink less alcohol, quit smoking, stop biting nails, get rid of old bad habits. According to a study about 38 percent of people say they’re going to exercise more and about 32 percent say they’re going to eat more healthily. Will you stay out of the 56 percent of people who fail to reach their goal or will you fall victim like the rest? Since many people fail to achieve their goal I encourage you to pick a goal, create a plan, and stick to it. Remember: “New Year, New Me.”
