To participate
From 2012 I would like to do my homework and projects on my own. I also want to participate in all the activities, programmes and competitions at school. I will stop watching the television for hours and use the time for playing outdoor games.

Every year, I sit with a paper and pen and list down my new year resolutions. It's the time to start life afresh! This year, I have three resolutions. My first is to make my parents proud of me. I want to let them know that having me is the best thing that they have ever done. Second is to get a scholarship, a ticket to Harvard University my dream college. And the last is to make a lot of mistakes but learn from them. With a whole new year ahead of me, I better start working on my resolutions!

Jus' perfect
The start of a new year is the perfect time to turn a new page, which is probably why so we can make new year resolutions. My resolutions are:
1. I should wake up at 4.00am.
2. I must obey my parents.
3. I should read a lot.
4. Should remain calm in any situation.
5. I shall keep my patience and determination intact.
6. I must do away with my laziness in the new year.

No more anger
One of my failings is short temper. I get angry a lot, and even if it subsides quickly I am afraid it will hinder my life and friendship. That is why, this New Year my resolution will be to get over my anger. It will be difficult as it is in my nature but I am determined to succeed and I know I will.

Green fingers
Every year I make resolutions which turn out to be hard to follow. But this year it is simple. First, I will stop bursting crackers so that it reduces pollution. Until now I had been planting a single plant in my garden only on Environment Day, but from now on, I will do so every month.
