Have you ever had a New Year's Resolution? If you haven't, it’s a goal you try to follow throughout the year. If you get it, congrats, you’ve just achieved a big goal that you will probably remember for the rest of the year. If you don’t achieve your goal, you can always try again next year. I’ve talked to a few students and teachers here at EJHS and have gotten their resolutions for this year.
Anderson Shertzer
First, we have Anderson Shertzer, and his New Year’s Resolution. You may know him as Anderson, or just Ando. His New Year’s Resolution is to “Get Good.” He didn’t specify what he wants to get good at, but maybe he means life. We can only wonder.
However, for this next person, we don’t have to wonder at all. Cole Dunkin’s New Year’s resolution is to “Hit the gym.” He seems to be joking, but maybe he wants to.

John Noth, one of Mrs. Noth’s sons, has a resolution to “get all A’s.” His opinion on resolutions is that they are okay to have, and help you with goal-setting.
Macy Mullin, an 8th grader who has been in Journalism for all of her years here at EJHS, has the New Years Resolution to have “better responses to her emotions.” This is something that SEL has been teaching her, but she has decided to work on it in her own time.

Mrs. Jones
We all know Mrs. Jones. Her New Year’s Resolution is to “be kind to oneself, not to compare yourself to others or work too hard impressing others, and to really focus on what makes one happy, and discard a focus on materialism.”
Mrs. Beeman, the beloved Personal Finance and Math teacher, has a resolution too. Her New Year's Resolution is to “Read the bible in chronological order.” It seems like a big task, but I think she’s got it.
All in all, these Resolutions are very good goals, and I personally like Resolutions. It gives you something to accomplish, and due to that, you have a, well, sense of accomplishment. You feel good about yourself afterwards.
