My Goals for a New School Year

There are many academic, social, and spiritual goals I have set for myself for the new school year. The picture in  this post is a summary of all of my goals for this year. Academically speaking, I would like to maintain good grades for each nine week period.  I would especially love to do better this year in English class, which has always been my weakest subject and lowest grade.  Another goal I have is to stay more organized in general and to keep up with my schoolwork and homework much better than previous years.  Lastly, I plan to manage my time better while doing school related tasks, in hopes that I don't procrastinate as much this year.

I also have several social  goals set for myself this year.  This year I want to be a better friend to the people I've  known for awhile and also to the newer students who I don't know yet.  Therefore, I also want to make at least one new friend this year.  I also wish to put others interests over my own in general. Unlike someone who is egotistic and unpleasant to be around, I want to be the person that people actually enjoy being around.

The most important goals I have for this year are those that are spiritually concerned.  This school-year I would love to develop a more meaningful and depthful prayer life.  One of my favorite verses is Phillipians 4:6 which says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God".  This year I am going to work to make this verse more prominent in my life by having a more constant contact with my Savior.  Another area where I intend to grow spiritually is in sharing my faith.  It takes a bold spirit to fearlessly share with others the gift of grace that God offers to us, and that's what I am praying about and intend to work towards.
