New Years

Now that it is a new year, people from all over the country are making resolutions for this year.
Here are a few definitions of resolution: The state or quality of being resolute; firm determination. A resolving is to do something. A course of action determined or decided on

About 50 percent of Americans make New Year's Eve resolutions, but only 15 percent manage to keep them, according to www.realscienceofsuccess.com/.
Most of the Americans resolutions are to lose weight, or to achieve one of their goals in life.
According to the book, about 2000 years later, the Romans started the New Year by assessing the old year and vowing to accomplish more in the coming year.
Another good thing about the New Year is that it is like a fresh start for some. If the past year was a terrible year, then most people are excited to put it behind them and move on with the New Year.

2009, I think that this year will be a great one. I have practically been looking forward to this year since I was little, but that is only because I graduate this year. But I have other reasons for thinking that this will be a good year. First of all, last year was one of the worst years ever, the economy was no that great, and the mid west flood, which was a pretty huge impact on my life. Another this is the presidential election was last fall and the new president was elected and this year it will take effected and president Obama. So supposedly we are going to have a noticeable change.
Anyways, New Years is one of my favorite holiday, you get to reflect on the past and decide on your future. I am hoping that the year 2009 will much better than 2008, I am hoping for the economy to get better, the president to be a good leader and make good decisions. My personal goals this year are to put my puzzle of a life together and make something useful of it.
