  3. In 2011 I want to follow my heart.
    I will follow it ill that is needed! for the love,for the friendships and not only.
    In love to know de feelings I have for some boy.
    In de friendships to tell if this friend is a good or a bad friend.
    My heart will also help me make decisions in my life.
    I will follow my heart when some boy makes me suffer.
    My heart will tell me not to suffer for those who do not deserve it.
    I will follow my heart wherever it tells me to the something.

    New Year’s Resolutions

    This year I want to achieve five goals:
    -Read books
    Reading books is very important and fun but I think I don’t read very much because I haven’t got much time. I think it’s easy; I just need to organize myself.
    -Not focussing on negative things
    I’m not the most positive and I think it’s one of my faults, so this year I will achieve this goal that I think is the hardest of five.
    -Make time just to have fun
    I spend a lot of time studying and sometimes I don’t have time just for fun.
    I think a way not to focus on the negative things is to have a time just for fun.
    This is my third objective.

    -Love mother Earth

    I always pay attention to the planet we live in but every year it’s necessary to remind myself. Recycling and not polluting the planet is the best thing to do and if we think that we can’t improve alone, the truth is that nobody can do this for us.

    - Want what I have

    “When you understand that you have everything, you’ll be rich.”
    I think this goal is the key to be happy.

    Being happy for me? ...

    For me being happy is something that depends on each one, and we can be happy in many ways, drawing a smile, a laugh, doing everything that makes us feel good.

    Each one is individual, and in my opinion, we must fight for our happiness, for what we want, and never give up on anything or anyone.

    I'm happy, and I appreciate the life I have, and the smile that I have in my face all day since I wake up. I'm happy to support my friends, but I also have my bad moments. When I'm down, I know that I can count on my friends and my parents. They give me strength to put up with the rainy days and the dark. Thanks God that these days almost never exist, because I know how I am and how lucky I am.

  8. In the year 2011, I will reach some new objectives, but the most important ones for me are: do more exercise and visit some museums.
    In 2011 I will do more exercise to have a better live stile, not to have serious health problems and to be satisfied with mysrlf. Do more exercise will also help me in tennis to have mobility in court and to wim more games.
    Andin 2011, I will visit more naturals museums, art museums, among others. Those museums will help me to improve my knowleedje in several areas, will also help me in my studies so I will get better marks in school without those results in school I will get a punishment and so I will spend several weeks without training.
    Those two objectives are the most important things for me in 2011.

    What I want to do this new year is to achieve certain objectives, such as climbing the marks of the first teaching period, give my best in dance and swimming, do physical exercice, because I love doing it, being open to new ideas, not focus on negative thoughts ...
    I intend climbed the grades in the first teaching period, because it would be very good for my future.
    I also want to give my best in dance and swimming, because they are two activities that I practise throughout the week and I love being good in all the activities I practise, so I try to do my best in everything.
    I want to be open to new ideas, because it's always good to have a fertile imagination.
    I intend not to concentrate on negative thoughts, because this is very bad for a person's life.

  11. My New Year's resolution is be happy. Well, of course to be happy I have to do somethings with my life.
    I want to be a better person, first of all. I think I was stupid and selfish sometimes, though, during the time we grow, things change, but they have to be better, not worse. I want to help people more and make new friends.
    I want to be confident, do things, including works of school, with no fears, show to people that I can be good in anything and I can still be trustful, positive and cool.
    I'm gonna keep dancing. I love it and people say I'm not that bad in it, so why not? Oh, but I have to stop watching so many TV shows, even though I love them, so it's really hard.
    I need to spend more times outside, in nature, because I spend too much time in the computer.
    Well, about studying harder... I don't think I need it. I spend three hours studying with my sister, because she has more difficulties than me.
    So that's all, I guess. This is my New Year's Resolution!

    In this year I want...

    ...Be happy (happier);
    ...Follow my heart, bacause sometimes I have decisions only with my head and I forget my heart;
    ...Set goals, because only then can I succeed at what I do;
    ...Pamper myself, because sometimes I forget myself;
    ...Not to compare myself with others, because I think everyone is different and we have to learn to live with our defects and qualities and not with the flaws and qualities of others;
    ...Be true to myself, because if not, I'll cheat me and all those around me.

    1.I want to enter the framework of excellence, with the biggest number of fives. It will not be easy but I can do it if I work hard;

    2.I want to be the best player of MondialMt2. I know it's a little absurd to have this ojective, but this game is very funny. All the players always want to be stronger and better;

    3. I will not watch so much television, because I know that it is not very healthy. Instead of that I am going to practise sports like swimming and football;

    4. I will help a friend to get better grades. My mission is to make all the negatives that he has into positives. It will not be easy but I will not give up. I know he's a little ruffian but deep in his heart he wants to learn and be a good student.

  24. Hello,

    This year, I'm going to try to do all my new year's resolutions.
    I'm saying that I'll try, not that I'll be able to do that.
    I'm going to follow my heart and I'll try to do that by telling all the people I love that what I feel is true. And that they'll never get out of my life.
    I'm going to face my fears. Well, my fear. This year I'll have to find the courage I need to talk with the "special person" that is taking away my insanaty.
    I'm going to be true to myself like follow my instincts and help myself.
    These are my new year's resolutions and I hope that in the end of this year I will have done all this stuff.

    In 2011 I´m going to be honest and true to myself so it is best to follow my heart. To do that it is necessary silence so I´m going to get in touch with nature. Walk in the countryside, listen to its sounds (birds, insects, the wind…)and meditate.
    I´m going to do more exercise because it is good for health. I´m going to play table tennis 3 times a week in a team.
    I´m not going to focus on negative things because we must be positive to feel good with ourselves, the others and the world.
    As I like music I´m going to listen to jazz and try to know more about the singers. I´m going to play different music in the piano.

  29. Among all the points that I saw on the film, these are my main goals for this year:

    - Dance and exercise:
    Dancing is one of my favourite hobbies and this year I would like to join a dance school. I love sports, so dancing is also a good physical exercise. Besides dancing, I also want to maintain volleyball, badminton, swimming, basketball and handball.

    - Help others:
    I never minded helping others. So, this year I want to continue helping others, because I also like to get help when I need. I will try my best to get good results with all my friends.

    - Don’t compare yourself with others:
    This is an interesting goal for me this year. Sometimes I have more trouble in trying to think about something like others, but the final result is not always positive for me. So I want to have more confidence in myself, I want to get my results in my way.

    - Set Goals:
    My main goal for this year is getting good results in school. This way I hope to have more and better opportunities in the future. Regarding other goals, these are already described on this work.

    - Face your fears:
    Sometimes it is difficult to face my fears. But I want to go on facing them as I have done until now.

    - Make time just to have fun:
    In spite of all of my goals for this year, I have to make time for me. I want to be with my friends and family. I want to live my adolescence with fun.

    - Be true to yourself:
    This is something I want to maintain. I think this is very important for any of us.
