With the new year of 2013 fast approaching, many people have their own goals that they want to accomplish, including to lose weight, to get more active, and to gain more self - confidence in themselves. These goals also commonly include making a change to peoples’ communities and even the world. I personally want to accomplish many goals in 2013, most specifically and importantly to gain more self confidence and become more active. In terms of academics, I definitely plan on becoming more independent when I work, without procrastinating. Hopefully, if this plan works out, I’ll be proud of myself and won’t need as much help with anything as I always used to get. I will also change myself by becoming closer with friends of mine, thereby gaining more social confidence. These goals are great enough to help me when I go to college in two years. There’s a whole world of endless possibilities, and I will do whatever it takes to make all these changes, as if I’m going to become a whole new version of myself. I feel that with more confidence comes more independence and responsibility for actions, so I’m not going to let anything get in the way of changing myself.
