As I step into the new year, I want to push the boundaries that held me back in the past. These boundaries limited me and slowed my growth. I need to embrace the challenges in my life that will bring me towards success. For example, I want to run 10 miles instead of 5 at the park before I join track & field. I want to help my family more than I did before when they struggle because the world is becoming more and more oppressive on our emotions and opportunities, and I want to ensure a good future for my family, as well as my extended family like cousins, aunts and uncles. I also want to improve on my trumpet & piano playing skills so I can follow my dream of becoming a musician. I also want to plan for the future to apply for the University of Nevada, Reno and take Engineering. To sum it all up, this year, I am committed to acknowledging my weaknesses and mistakes I made in the past, using them as stepping stones to bring about wisdom and strength. I will also make more intentional and thoughtful choices, ensuring that each decision I make empowers me and connects to my long-term goals/milestones for the near future.

For the new year, I hope to improve at virtually everything I am capable of, so I can be more confident in whatever I am doing. For example, I am not very confident in my guitar skills, so I usually choose not to show them off when I get the chance; I would like to change that. I also wanna beat Kobe and Brce in an MMA sparring match first try!

As cliche, as it may be, this new year I plan on going to the gym consistently. Although it’s common for people to say this and then stop after a week, I genuinely don’t plan on doing so. I want to not only gain weight this year but also build more muscle. As crazy as it sounds, it’s not to impress anyone, but instead just for my clothes to fit better. The issue right now is some clothes look better depending on your build which is what I’m trying to address. As it stands I’ve been doing pretty good in keeping up and hope this doesn’t change. Another goal of mine is probably going to make music. I’ve always had a passion and especially with the new year and all the progress I’ve made recently, I believe it’s time. I already have my Spotify page and instrumentals made so all I have to do is add vocals. The issue is I want to genuinely make music people want to hear. I swear 2025 will be my year,

As a new year begins, I’ve been thinking about different goals and milestones I hope to fulfill this year. Whether it be getting my driver’s license, traveling to my dream destination, or learning a new skill, I’ve set my sights on some exciting achievements for 2025. Personally, I want to achieve abs and grow my hair to my stomach this year. Thank you and have a good 2025

For this year, i’m really looking forward to getting a job as a CNA at the hospital I volunteer at, almost a year ago I finally got my CNA license and I haven’t been able to use it because the hours don’t fit with a school schedule. I’m just really looking forward to the fact i’ll be able to help those in need at the hospital and get closer to reaching my goal to be a healthcare provider.

For this new Year I was wanting to be able to go snowboarding and focus on my mental health and experience new things that I haven’t experienced like new foods as an example.
