New Year's Resolution for the School Year~

     Education has become my top priority since entering high school; acquiring a high GPA and SAT score is my goal throughout the year to get into a good college. Since education seems to be important to me my 3 resolutions consists on school based things. 
                           My 3 resolutions are:
                                   - Develop a better study habit.
                                   - Score above a 1500 on the SAT.
                                   - Memorize word-smart edition.
   
       My study habit has been lacking since i have entered high school; this is because most of my time is spent socializing, reading and playing sports. Spending time studying for school and after school classes (SAT Preparatory classes) is something that I need to work on. By developing this skill, i will not have a problem learning and in-taking information in the future. This is something I would like to achieve because it will make my mom happy. By developing this skill, I would most likely be able to get into a better college; this is because with the advantage of having a better study habit, focusing on studies will not become a problem. Though this resolution will be difficult and extremely boring, I will please both my parents, my family and myself; so... I have to achieve this goal.

     SAT Scores are my life, my everything; my goal is to score above the average 1500. To achieve this goal, I attend after school SAT preparatory classes, to advance my math, vocabulary and writing skills. I want to score above the average because it will in fact get me into a a good college 60%-70% of the time. (I also do this to make my mom happy.) SAT test are in fact difficult tests, they test each individual skill on specific people; later specifically grading and ranking them into specific scores. SAT scores are very important to colleges, thus important to me, I want to major in medicine, a hard course, and getting a score above the average 1500 will give me a chance to get into a school that has a medical course. 

   Last of all my goals is something no one wants to do; memorizing the word-smart editions. memorizing something similar to a dictionary is not exciting but needed. Word-smart is used constantly in the SAT test and in college courses; so...memorizing is a must. My weakest point is vocabulary so far in my classes; so this ill help me lengthen my vocabulary knowledge. Though this may be the worst resolution that I have to do, i must achieve this goal. By also developing this skill this will guarantee that you, or anyone else, will not have a hard time adapting to the advance vocabulary of a college professor. 
      I know, why is this person writing about her resolutions and why are they really boring. Well, this is an assignment in Journalism to enhance our writing skills. Its boring because I have to be serious about school; majoring in a medical degree is not going to be easy and time consuming. Like my mom says "You are not going to have a social life in college, so why not start now?" I really do not agree with this but I have to listen :(. I also wrote these resolutions because they can be achieved, not like my resolution two years ago where I wanted to do things such as: I wanted to punch a shark and go skydiving. I am in Junior year now, as my mom and daddy say "You gotta act your age and start being serious now, or your college life is screwed!!!" The wise words of my parents are quite depressing but this is the things I have to do:)                     
                                     Thank you very much for reading this~~
