First Time For A New Year's Resolution by Hunter

First Time For A New Year's Resolution by Hunter - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

Have you ever decided to make a New Year’s resolution? Maybe you are wondering what a New Year’s resolution is. A resolution is a tradition; it is a promise to do an act of self-improvement in the upcoming year. Many make resolutions to be a better person, eat healthier, or working out on a daily basis. I personally have never really tried to have a New Year’s resolution because I know a lot of them never last more than a couple weeks. I decided to try something different this year.
I am currently attending my senior year in high school and because of that I made a New Year’s resolution. I decided I wanted to better myself in my school work. I want to focus more on school and my studies to help prepare me for college. I feel that if I take more time to study and do my homework it would better me in many ways. One way it would help is I feel that I wouldn’t be so stressed when it comes to taking tests and exams. I also think that it would help me better my future in getting a higher education.
I plan to attend college for a nursing career. My goal is to eventually become a Physician Assistant, despite the cost of schooling. I know that to reach my goals I am going to have to make more time for studying and have a one-hundred percent focus on school. I want to be able to say I was successful and I don’t want to have to worry about my financial situation and I am aware of what I am going to have to do to become that person.
I am going to have to work extremely hard to reach my goals and I am okay with that. However, bettering me and having a good work ethic starts now in my senior year. This New Year’s resolution will help me create a better work ethic for myself and also help me have more determination for scholarships such as this one to reach my goal in the medical field. I hope you choose to make a New Year’s resolution that will better you in the upcoming year as well.
