The New Year brings opportunities for one to create New Year’s resolutions. The first 3 weeks of January are the most ambitious time of the year. It’s most commonly known for crowded gyms and smokers trying to kick the habit.

People of North Arlington High School have also been talking about their resolutions. Student Nicolette Zamora wants to “save money.” Student Jennifer Barrera wants to “stay fit and find a job.” Culinary arts teacher, Ms. Dempsey wants “to be more kind.” Many of the students surveyed had similar resolutions and several also added “improve grades” as a priority.

It’s never easy dedicating ourselves to our resolutions; nevertheless, we must make an effort. It is crucial to at least make an attempt, because if successful, our self-esteem will increase tremendously. Motivation can only be as strong as the individual who sets the resolutions. Good luck to all on your New Year’s resolutions. We here at the Viking Saga have one also- to have more people visit our site. Share us on Facebook!
