This year I want to push myself to the fullest in everything. I want to learn as much as I can and do amazing in school. I want to become a star in sports. I know where I want to be at the end of the year and I have changed my mindset to make those goals happen. There is a lot I want to improve about myself as in my mindset about other categories and my body. I have learned to control myself a lot this year but I'm still working on it.
