New Year’s Resolutions

Why is it so hard to keep a New Year’s resolution? Do we make unrealistic goals for ourselves? Or do we make our resolutions right before the clock strikes 12 without really thinking them through? Even know I haven’t been very good at keeping my resolutions for the New Year in the past, I am firm about keeping and following through with my promises therefore three resolutions that I am determined to follow through on are to getting my license, exercising daily, and applying to colleges.

First, getting a license is a big deal in a teenager’s life. In this New Year, 2014, I am setting a goal for myself to get my license. I already have my permit, so I am one step closer to reaching my goal. Getting my license would benefit my parents. I could help them out with grocery shopping or running other errands while their busy. It would benefit my siblings as well. I could pick them up from school if they don’t want to ride the hour long bus ride home, or drop off my little brother at preschool if my mom needs to get stuff done around the house. I could also help my mom out when my siblings go out. 10 pm is usually to late for them to pick up my 13-yearold siblings at a friends house, so I could pick her up. Having my license would benefit me as well. I wouldn’t have to ask my mom for a ride to a friend’s house, so I could drive myself. Getting my license would not just benefit me, but would also benefit my parents and siblings.

Second, experts all over the world recommend exercising daily. Another goal I have is to begin exercising daily. It would help strengthen my core, which would help with many things that are going on with my body. It would help with the constant stomach pains I have. My doctor recommended that I do excersices that strengthen my core, but I keep holding it off. Exercising daily would also help with staying healthy. I want to be as healthy as possible. Exercising would also build up my immunity. I also

    If adolescents are mature enough, now, to get their school permit at 15, they are mature enough to get their license. Most kids turn 15 their freshman year of high school, which means a lot of responsibility is put on them. This will allow students to be careful with their driving, because they will get the privilege of driving at 15. Another plus to letting kids get their school permits at 14 is that parents won’t have to won’t have to get off of work to get their kids from extra-curricular activities, and students that walk home, even in the dead of winter, won’t have to…

    Lastly, teenagers actually dislike the idea that they have to depend for their parents for everything. We don't like asking our parent to chauffeur us everywhere, especially up to the point we graduated from high school. Once we graduated from high school, would the parents still want us to move up to the real world without a license ?! So learning how to drive at a young age is one of the biggest steps to adulthood and the age for driving shouldn't be…

    Most teenagers consider their driver’s license as their ticket to independence. With a driver’s license, minors are able to drive themselves around whether it’d be to school, work, or other activities. A driver’s license for a minor could also mean, tragic car accidents, night out at drinking parties with friends, vandalism, drug use, gang violence, and trespassing. The question we ask ourselves is, whether people under 18 be subjected to legal curfews or restricted driving privileges? Minors or those under the age of eighteen should be subjected to legal curfews and should have restrictions on their driving privileges.…

    A major event in my life that marked a transition from childhood to becoming an adult is when I got my driver's license. Getting your driver’s license is the first taste of true freedom that most 16 year olds get to experience. However, with great privileges comes responsibility and the ability to take on that responsibility. When I went to take my driving test, I was extremely nervous and a bit scared. I wasn’t nervous or scared of the actual test, but the pressure that I put on myself to succeed on the first try as did my two older siblings. Turns out I did pass and I can still remember how I felt on that April day. The feeling of accomplishment and joy that fell on me that day was unbelievable. After I got home from the DMV, I drove myself accompanied by my little sister around the neighborhood. Driving around that night for the first time without an adult made me realize the freedom that I was given from having my license. Along with the freedom comes the responsibility of your passengers and yourself to return safely and the trust given by your parents for this privilege and not…
