Shana White A2    In my opinion, I need to have better goals for myself as a person. This is my last year in high school so I need to be ready for what the world decides to throw at me. I need to have stronger goals for myself because they will depend on my future, it will make me excell more, and I and many loved ones will be proud of me. My mom is always nagging on me about how this is my last year in school, so I need to step it up a notch. I agree to her opinion. Having stronger goals will depend on my future. What I do today affects what I do tomorrow. Just like how what I did yesterday affects what I did and will do for today. I always look back and think, “Well maybe if I did this, I wouldn’t be in this situation.” Maybe if I had set better goals for myself then, I wouldn’t be the same as I am today. If I set better goals for my future, then it will progress through my life and make me a better person than I am today. If I have better goals for myself, then I know for a fact that I will excell more. I will excell more in school because I’d make goals to get certain grades and turn in certain things that I honestly don’t feel like doing. I would turn in all my work on time and do what is expected of me. I know that I would excell more in life because after excelling in school, that would put me at a more higher standard for the real world, such as work. I would be more optimistic with things that I don’t particularly care for or care to do. I know that if I set better goals for myself, not only I will be happy and proud. My family will be proud of me as well. To see me excell, to see me progress in life is all my mom ever wants to see. After I walk across the stage and get my diploma, I know that is when everything will hit me. My family will be so proud of me, especially since I’m already graduating a year early. I love knowing that I made not only myself proud, but the ones who love me proud as well. I will set better goals for myself this year. It’s a new year, so therefore it’s a new beginning. I will feel more engaged in the many different activities that take place in my life. One should always shoot higher than they think because one will never know how far they can go. Give it a try, just like I am. Better goals aim for a better future.
