Reflection 1 – My Goals for This Year

Family and FriendsĀ 

My first goal for this category is to help my sibling with his school work. I would like to sit with him for at least 30 minutes a day. if I can then every other day is sufficient. I want them to be able to understand what they are learning in class to the best of their ability since he is struggling with his work. By the end of this year, I hope his grades will improve in comparison to his previous years at school. I have this goal because I love my sibling a lot and I don’t want them to struggle, be stressed out, or be worried and upset all the time because of their grades.

Second, I want to spend more time with my dad when he comes home from work. He stays in a city a few hours away and we visit him occasionally during the breaks. Otherwise, i barely see him. My goal is to spend most of the time he is here with him.

Finally, i want to meet new people in school and build good relationships. it can be classmates, teachers, and team members. by the end of this year i want to have a few friends in each class i go to and to be on good terms with my teachers.

Education

This year, I want to keep school as one of my top priorities. In class, I want to work hard and do my best and try to get the best grade I can. My goal is to pass each class with an A and do well on all of my tests, getting more than 86% each time.

When I was younger I took a few lifeguarding classes you could take at a young age. I learned many things about both first aid and saving a drowning victim but it’s been a while since I last went to one. This year I would like to take these classes again and learn/review the things I may have forgotten.

This year I want to learn many new things, both school subjects and being a better person in general. One thing I want to start looking into and learn about is leadership. I realized this in middle school and I want to properly start this year. My goal to improve this is to participate in many different things and put myself out there. I want to join leadership this year and hopefully, start volunteering as well so I can improve myself and learn about different kinds of people.

Health

Starting in October, I’d like to start swimming again. I did it a lot when I was younger but stopped for a few years. Swimming has a lot of health benefits and I have always wanted to start again when I had the chance. by grade 10, id like to have the same stamina I used to have and maybe even more than before. I would also like to be able to swim for at least 30-40 minutes without taking major breaks.

Another goal is to work on my diet and watch what I eat. My diet is very imbalanced at the moment. I’m not getting enough of certain vitamins and minerals. I want to start eating a more balanced meals with the proper amounts of each food group. I want to eat a proper breakfast every day as well and finish my lunches at school.

My final goal in the health section is to drink water every day. For the first few days i will start with at least two cups a day and slowly build up. By the end of grade 9 I want to be able to drink 5-7 cups of water every day like I’m supposed to.
