This year's resolution isn't going to be those "I'm going to loose more weight" ones. It's going be a goal that will not only benefit me but others around me. Lately I've been noticing that I spend the school day with the same few people and stop meeting others. For every 3 times I hear my name I will try to make friends one person that I've never spoken with. I know it sounds awkward but I believe that it will make me a better person than what I already am. But before I do this I have to gain confidence in my ability to speak nice and friendly to others. Believe it or not but I am a very shy boy. Once I get comfortable talking to someone, which is usually when I get to know them a bit more, I speak about the most random nonsense. But when you first talk to me I'm shyer than that one kid you have at least in one of your classes that won't talk for all the money in the world.
Even though we're living in a world were depression and stress are affecting so many of us, it still seems that we can push
through that to some extent to have at least one friend or that one person to turn to. Meeting new people has to be one of
the most exciting and worthwhile things that you can do
with your life. Therefore making new friends can benefit my way of having decent relationships with others. Back to the way I'm going to gain my confidence, I will swear on my enchiladas to at least say things such as "Bless you" or "How are you" to all the people I believe need it the most. Thus making depression decrease to those who I meet. Nice isn't it?
I want to accomplish all of this by the end of the year because not only is it something that will actually affect lives but it's something that will make me believe that I have become a better person. I just adopted a simple everyday resolution and made it my goal. I feel better for myself! Hopefully by the end of the goal I have not only helped my life become more rich in peace, but also others too.
As simple as this sounds, it is a profound and inspiring goal. It's not very often you will here anyone, let alone someone as young as you speak such encouraging and common-sensical words. I have much respect for this goal and the way you have communicated it.
