New Year's Resolutions Can Make Better People by Logan

New Year's Resolutions Can Make Better People by Logan - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

I am not really big on New Year's resolutions. However, this year I decided to get more organized. All my life I have been able to just get good grades without studying and being unorganized. This is not how I need to be anymore though. I need to have everything together to help myself. It causes less stress and will help me study for school much better. Being unorganized for me has always been an issue, and I realized that for senior year and college, that is not going to work. I will wind up losing something and not being able to get my work done.
I also realized that I need to start caring more about my future. It will not be carefree anymore. It will be challenging, and I need to get ready for it. I am getting prepared to go to college to be a teacher. In the past, I have just not worried about much, but now it is all that matters. It is crazy how much someone can grow up in high school and realize what is best for them. I am glad that I finally learned that. I expect great things for my future. I also hope that my attitude about all of this is unchanging. I cannot stand when I make a New Year’s resolution and give it up. I refuse to be one of those people, I want to actually succeed in my life now.
