Blog 15: New Year's Premonitions

From these few lines, Banquo explains that the witches are trying to gain trust by telling little truths, but in actuality, they will be hurtful at the most vulnerable times.

In the year 2010, I will try not to set standards for my friends that I place on myself. I expect a lot from myself and set goals to achieve, but I shouldn't expect that others will do the same. I often get surprised and hurt by immature behaviors and I will try to be more forgiving and accepting. People change and grow, and in some cases don't grow, and that's okay. In 2010, I want to hold on to my clear vision of my dreams and goals.

Part of my vision for the future includes continuing to do well in school and keeping that a top priority. I will set time aside to practice more SAT questions and gather vocabulary words. I also hope to find a club in school and that I feel more connected to. I love to play tennis and will make more time for it.

At home, I will try to appreciate what my parents do for my brothers and I more. I now realize what everyday entails for them as I'm getting closer to making more and more decisions on my own. They make it look easy, but I know it's not. In addition, we got a new puppy this year and I will try to hold true to my promise of taking responsibility for him more.
