This year, I want to get healthier by exercising more and improve my grades in school. To get healthier, I’ll try to work out at least three times a week, whether it's going for a walk, playing sports, or doing a workout video at home. To improve my grades, I’ll stay on top of my homework, ask questions when I don’t understand something, and study a little every day instead of cramming last minute. By being more active and staying focused on school, I hope to feel better physically and do well in my classes.

Over the past year, I've learned a lot about balancing my responsibilities and managing stress. I discovered that breaking big tasks into smaller steps helps me stay organized and not feel so overwhelmed. I also learned that asking for help is important, whether it's with schoolwork or personal challenges—I don’t have to figure everything out on my own. Another big thing I’ve learned is the importance of staying active, even when I feel busy; exercise helps me clear my mind and feel more focused. Finally, I've realized that being kind to others, even in small ways, can really make a difference in someone’s day.
