New Year's Walk

As I took my walk today, I wanted to reflect on 2015. I went to some of the places that influenced me more last year. Mainly my neighborhood and the Golf Course nearby. As I was surrounded by the beauty of nature in my neighborhood, I realized that the biggest regret that I have from 2015 was that I haven't been thankful enough for what I have. I realize that there are many things that I am blessed with that others are not, such as my friends, my family, and a roof over my head. Over the next year, that is definitely something I want to fix next year.

As cheesy as it may sound, I try my hardest to make a New Year's Resolution every year for myself. I look at these Resolutions as a road map to become a better person than I was the year before. For 2016 my New Year's Resolution is to cement the bonds that I have made at Seattle Christian so that they will last even after we graduate. You only get one shot at making these friends, so its important to be a good friend to others so that you can maintain these relationships going into the rest of your life.

Lastly, I realize that I need to face my problems head on. This last year has been all about excuses about why I don't need to do this or that I shouldn't do that. This next year, as I go off to college, it will be filled with unknowns. I need to tackle all the challenges that I face with an open mind, so that I can defeat any problem that I come across. If I let these challenges cripple me, I'm not going to get anywhere in my life. I hope to make 2016 an even better year than 2015 was!!!!
