In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you (Copy and paste your completed response from Writable into your blog).

My break was very enjoyable. I spent time down in Mobile, AL, to visit family for a few days. I played a lot of golf with friends, and even got a new putter for Christmas! I played a lot of board games with my family and it got pretty competitive (lol). 

1) The first goal that I hope to achieve in 2026 is to finish 11th grade with A's in all of my classes. This goal is important because I am trying to maintain above a 4.0 GPA, which would be very beneficial for me for applying to colleges. To achieve this goal, I plan to stay focused and on top of my classwork, as it counts towards the highest part of my grade. I plan on studying for tests in the future, not just last minute. By doing this, I believe I will walk away with all A's by the end of the school year.

2) My second goal that I hope to achieve in 2026 is to break 80 in golf. This goal is important to me because it is a huge milestone that every golfer dreams of completing one day. I've love seeing growth and improvement in such a hard game. To achieve this goal, I plan to practice more than ever. Which will be a challenge, because I will have to balance that and school, PLUS every other event that may be happening. I plan to achieve this goal before the 2026-2027 school year begins. Hopefully during the summer or before then!

3) My third goal that I hope to achieve in 2026 is to gain at least 30 pounds. This goal is important to me because I have been on the skinny side pretty much all of my life, and easily get pushed around or "made fun of" by friends. It never hurts me, but leaves determination in my head. To achieve this goal, I plan to get a calorie tracker app to track what I eat every day so I'll hit my goal weight. I will also be careful what I eat. I can't just eat all fatty, salty and sugary foods. I will need to balance my nutrition and work out more to improve aesthetic. I want to achieve this goal before the end of the year. It depends on how many calories I eat per day, and if i stick to it.

4) My last goal that I hope to achieve in 2026 is to find out who I am. This goal is important to me because it shapes the rest of my life. Who I hang out with, what my interests are, how I like to do everything, etc. To achieve this goal, I plan to just be myself, and it will guide me to new friends, old friends, thoughts, and what I enjoy doing. Do I like to be by myself? Am I adventurous? Creative? Nice? By being myself, I hope to find out who I really am as a person. I hope to achieve this goal before the 2026-2027 school year begins. That way, I'll have a full year of being myself before college.


Today we created some new years resolutions on writable.

I enjoyed creating my new resolutions.

Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

Last year in AP world, there was an assignment due at 11:59pm on Friday, and I planned to finish it when I got home from school on Friday. But when I got home, I played basketball for an hour or two, and came inside and fell asleep unintentionally. I woke up from the nap at 11pm. Then I remembered about the assignment. I thought it was over for me. But I had to make the decision to not play video games with ALL my friends, and complete the assignment in record time. I ended up finishing it with 10 mins to spare, then I played the game. Today we finished reading "The life you save may be your own". And watched the short movie as well. ' I think the short story was engaging, and an overall good read. I got better at reading comprehension, and I'm ready for the quiz tomorrow.

Imagine you are learning about Hispanic/Latino heritage for the very first time. What would you be curious to know about the traditions, foods, music, or celebrations?

I would want to know about their whole culture. I would want to try their foods and see their celebrations and how they are different than our own. Today we did some more practice with clusters. We had the topic of "Overrated", and we had to put 5 things we thought were overrated. I got better at learning how to format and get ideas for what to write in my essay.
