I'm Illy! For 2025 I really want to get closer to God! I also want to get way better at focusing as per my ADHD and other special needs it'd be nice! I already work out every day, but getting better would be nice! And also I plan on not being so clumsy, though I've already fallen on my face like 8 times this year, I want to get less clumsy! And not counting reading my bible through, I'd like to read a LOT of books! And my last would be to learn more about science! :D

New Year's Resolutions aren't my favorite, but I deem this as an opportunity to encourage others. My resolution for 2025 is to grow even closer to God in my relationship with Him. Lord, please, encourage us all to open our Bible's every day. You, Alone, Lord, feed our hunger, and water our thirst. You, Alone, Lord, are worthy of our praise. We ourselves are not worthy of a loving God, but Christ died on a cross for our sins, knowing that we would continue to sin against Him. That is love, people. We sin against Him continuously, day in and day out. He is so gracious. Acknowledge your sin, Repent of your sins, and turn to Christ. Jesus is coming back, and that could be any moment, so be ready. Take off the old man and put on the new man.

One more resolution of mine is to get even better at basketball as I join my local school's Basketball team. Lord, please help me during this season of sports. I rely on Your strength, Lord. Please help me in my weaknesses, and Lord, please work through me to share the Gospel throughout the team. We can't rely on ourselves. If we do, then we are prone to failure. But with You, Lord, we can do much more than those who are without you. Lord, you took the weight of sin off of my back. Please, take the burden off of my teammate's backs.

I shall forever continue to trust in You Alone, Lord. God bless the person who is reading this, and remember, rely on God for your strength. Repent!

We had a New Year's party where we wrote resolutions for other people and drew them from a hat.

Mine was to do 20 push ups and then be done. Well... I already did them.

But now my REAL resolution is to do them every day to get in better shape. Who knows how many I will be able to do next year!

Hii people I'm Luke :)) I came here in the middle of the year ish (October). adapted very well and I love it here :)) Enjoy my paragraph :DD

It's now officially 2025 whatttt !!!! time is flying :0000

I've been thinking about some of my resolutions and some things I'm planning on completing over the new year to explore and better myself. Without further ado, here's my chaotic, insane, coolio, list :))

1. Listen to one album each day of 2025- so far, so good ! I'm a huge music nerd, so expanding my taste is something I'm very much looking forward to. Music is a big thing for me and has gotten me through so many hard times. I find this resolution to be important and fairly easy to complete. If anyone wants to suggest me with anything I'll put my email below at the end :)).

2. Read and draw more than I did last year- Last year, I slacked in both categories. This year, I'll try my best to work on and improve my drawing skills, as well as get lost in more stories. There is nothing more invigorating than diving into a good book or finishing a drawing you're satisfied with. Also: stop beating myself up about my

drawings!! They're probably good yet I still am dissatisfied about them >:((.

3. Get my driver's license and a job- I'm 16 now, two years away from becoming an adult, and need to become more responsible. Sure, I keep up on my chores whenever possible and keep myself from procrastinating often, but at this point that just doesn't cut it anymore. I'll get a job somewhere, put the money I make into a college fund, and get my license since I'll need it in the future and it's an important goal in life. Completing important, fundamental goals in life is a big thing for me. If I manage to do both this year, I'll be proud (tho I am lowkey scared ahh :c )

4. Become more social- I've struggled to socialize my entire life. If I become more social, I'll be happier and I'll have super coolio friends :000. I need to stop being afraid of interaction the way I currently am (typing this up is hard, too). I was bullied for a long time and struggled to get out of my shell. I need to pick myself back up and put myself out there :)).

That's it!! If you made it this far, thx sm for reading:33. As promised, here's my email if you wanna be friends/talk about anything, I like a lot of stuff :)) abbottl284@pavcs.us

For 2025, I want to focus on managing my time better and addressing my past mistakes. I know I can't go back in time to change them, but I wish I could prevent my past self from making those choices. If people choose to be unkind to me, that's their decision. I've struggled with low self-esteem and have forced myself to fit into a crowd where I don’t belong. Now that I’m in 11th grade and soon to be in 12th, it’s time for me to take a step back, let go of the past, and move forward.

So as again, Time managment and self-esteem is my goals..

# data[].attributes.body
Since it is now 2025, a new year hopefully a good one.

My New Year's resolution is to reach my goal which is to get student of the month and to be on more honor rolls.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a lot of New Year's resolutions, I really wanna be productive this year especially now since I'm in high school, and every year now truly counts. You have to use every year wisely cause after this, after Highschool your life truly begins. First I wanna join Varsity Football, Basketball, and Track. I wanna go pro in Football and each of those sports can help me reach that goal. Basketball can help me with my athleticism since most basketball is based on athleticism. It is the same as track which would help my speed and ability go faster. Second I need to get into shape, I can't be a D1 athlete and be out of shape, so from January till the start of the Varsity football season (which is the first sport I can join other than the spring sports). I want to get close to my goal of dunking on a 9ft rim and or higher, I got an 8.5 ft rim last year in 2024 (I think) and now time to reach higher (literally) and be able to get to 9ft or even 10ft and officially dunk. Third, this is off the sports topic, but I wanna memorize another juz in the Quran, I am Muslim and I am trying to become a Hafiz which is someone who has memorized the entire Quran, cover to cover. I memorized, well re-memorized the last juz, the 30th juz. I am now on the 29th so that's what I am planning to get done and more as well. Fourth I wanna get the Goblet of Fire done, I finished Prisoner of Azkaban on New Year's Day with only 6 minutes to spare till 2025 and since then I've been reading Goblet. I got myself into Harry Potter back in mid-2024 or 2023. Either way whatever year it was (it prob was 2024) I have been reading and watching all about it. I sort of watched the movies first since I didn't have the books (bad idea for those who wanna get into Harry Potter, READ THE BOOKS FIRST DONT WATCH THE MOVIES UNTIL AFTER!) and now have started reading the books. So ya I wanna get Goblet done and get started at I think Order of the Phoenix next. Fifth, start doing things that not most people do like being able to do a backflip. The reason why this is something I wanna do is because I remember this quote somewhere, idk who it was from but that doesn't matter but the quote was something like this, if you wanna be better than everyone else, you gotta do what everyone else isn't doing. That's how you get ahead. What this is telling me is how that the only way you're going to be better than someone, your gonna have to take a different path than them, it might be hard or easy but it's your path, and it's going to be different and it has to be. You're gonna have to do things people normally don't want to do but that's what gonna make you better, stronger, and smarter. That's why I love that quote, it might be word-for-word accurate or it might never have been real and it came from my heart but either way, it is still true and very impactful. Those are just some of my resolutions, it's long for just 5 points but y'all told me to yap bout New Year resolutions so I yapped, so ya... HAPPY NEW YEAR, HUZZAH WE MADE IT PAST COVID (which I'm surprised humanity has done), and have fun this year, no matter what life throws at you, each day is a blessing, and not many people can see that. You live one life only so live it well, do what's right, use every day wisely, and remember that even when you're down get back up cause life will get better even if it looks like it won't. God puts us on different journeys for a reason, even when others seem less hard than others, everyone is dealing with something different. Don't give up and keep living cause eventually, we are all gonna die and you're gonna regret giving up and doing nothing with your life if you do give up. So keep working, keep improving, or try to. Live the life you want to live, take risks, and regret nothing. Life is a journey where no one else's is the same so don't compare yours to anyone else cause everyone else's is different and you are different, embrace it. May god help us all find our purpose and live a good, happy, successful life and a good 2025!

This coming year I am going to try to go outside more. It has always been an issue for me and I have been working really hard to change that. I want to feel the sun on my face and the breeze on my skin. Wish me luck!!

My new years resolution is to work harder to see/talk to my siblings more. My sister moved to Delaware and she works 2 part time jobs that take up a lot of her time and so she can't visit as much anymore. My brother moved to Arizona to go to college and he doesn't get breaks very often except on Christmas break he got to fly down and hang out for a week. Luckily I can Face Time my brother and my sister. My sister and I already have plans for January and I am sure we'll get more for February. My brother and I Face Time every day now and play video games together or just talk.

Hello what I would like to work on is going outside of my comfort zone trying new things seeing new places, so I can gain inspiration from those places. And in 2025 I just want to continue to gain knowledge, when I do that, it'll help me know what to do and what not to do. I just want to continue to be happy through the tough times and bad times. And I love sports, so go Chargers, Phillies, 76ers, and I'm gonna continue to be the best student I can be.

Love, ZP

Ari M. - My resolution reflection: Self esteem ( This is a long answer, but please read it all, it'll be worth it, I promise! :) )

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, my dear readers! :)

For a LONG while now, I have struggled with self-worth and self-esteem. I always used to push myself to be someone I wasn't, just so that people would like me. I used to want everyone to love me, and I pretty much - at the time - had no enemies... or so I thought. It was then that I realized that, in reality, I was my own enemy, trying to mold myself into any shape for everyone, like a piece of clay. Now, I realize that I am who I am for a reason, and if people don't like me, that's their choice, not mine. And I am a VERY nice and forgiving person, so if people want to take time out of their lives - and mine - to be hateful and discouraging, then, again, that's their own decision.

I promise to whoever is reading this, one day, the clouds will clear up, and the sun will shine. Everything will be okay in the end. And if it's not okay now, then right now is not the end.

For 2025, I have a challenge for you, my dear reader: Don't give up. Don't let the hope fade. You are worth the world, and no one could ever put a price on you; you are irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind, special. And if people want to talk bad about you behind your back, then let them: They're behind you for a reason.

Now, you might ask me, "How are you so positive and nice all of the time?" and "Have the skies cleared up for you yet?" And my answer is no, they haven't. But when I saw that little sliver of sunshine through the storm clouds, I knew the storm would pass. Yes, the sun was far away, but I knew it would be over eventually, all I had to do was keep pushing through. And I'm positive because I know what it's like to be treated badly, to be talked down to, degraded, and made to feel like I'm worth nothing. I never want anyone to have to feel how I've felt, not ever.

I know it seems like I'm a very strong, independent person, but truth be told, sticks and stones DO break my bones. But, I've learned that that's okay, because this life is a game: But, it's not about winning, It's about how many points you get along the way.

I promise you, things will get better. The storm clouds will clear, and blue skies will appear. Please, never give up. I am counting on all of you to be the best people you can be. You can do this. It's a new year - so it's time to let go of the past and keep moving forward. I know you all have incredible talents and inspiring futures.

Please, take it from me, life will get better. Will it be soon? Maybe, maybe not. But it will be okay in the end. If you give up now, you'll lose everything. That's not what you want, I know it; You just want to be happy, we all do.

So push past your limits, and be the best person you can be.

I believe in you all. :) ☆

Love and light,

-Ari Montalvo ♡

My New Year's Resolution is to find the positive in each day, and doing so, I plan to write it down and keep these little logs in a jar until the last day of 2025. At which point I will reflect on my positive findings and show myself that even during hard times, there are positives able to be found somewhere, big or small. :)

In 2025, I want to get even closer to Almighty God and read His Word more and more. I also want to lift weights more. Hopefully one hour every day.
