Joe's+Goals+for+Freshman+Year+and+Beyond

Hello everyone, my name is Joseph, im 14 years old, and I have many goals for high school. I am very lucky to have the chance to come to this great school and I'll be trying to make this the best four years as much as possible.

One of my main goals this year and for high school is doing well academically. I wasn’t so great in the past few years but I’m hoping to turn that around. This means to finish homework, projects, study for tests, and anything else that’s good for my grades. Also, I’ll try this year to not do everything last minute, which was a big problem for me in the previous years. This resulted into bad grades, which I didn’t want. I am also hoping to understand the material well this year and have no problems through learning the lessons. The class that I am mainly stuggling with is Spanish which I hope that I'll learn the vocabulary. Basically, if I stay on task and do the work well, I shouldn’t have any problem.

As a teenager, there’s a thing you should always stick close to, family. At my age, people tend to grow farther away from them. So one of my goals is to not be like those people and grow closer to my family. This means to spend more time with my family and doing activities together, such as watching movies or anything else that gets the family together.

Going to this school, I had lost a lot of friends who are now going to either Ventura or Buena, but I rather be here than there. Another one of my goals is to make new friends and to keep touch with old ones. Making new friends will make the next four years easier and keeping touch with old friends will also help me along the way.

My last goal I'll being talking about is sports and fitness. The next four years I'll try my best to work out and work hard in P.E. I'll also love to participate in sports. I like all sports but the sport that I love the most is baseball. I have been playing baseball for almost all my life and I would love to carry that into high school.

This concludes my goals essay for high school. Probably the goal that I would focus on the most is the academics but all of these goals are very important to me. It'll be interesting to see where I stand at senior year. I hope to succeed in these goals in the next four years of high school.
