New Years Goals

     The first New Years goal that I will achieve is for this class and it deals with my growth and development. In this semester I want to really understand the subject of each unit and take it to the next level, not only learning the material but applying it into the real world. In order for this to happen, I really have to get a good understanding of the subject by taking in the things I learned from the vodcasts and doing labs to really strengthen my knowledge so that I can apply what I have learned into the real world. In addition, the unit reflections will come handy as I can record my understanding of the unit and apply the subject, and as a result, I get to take more away from the unit and overall the biology semester.

     The second goal that I will achieve is outside of school and deals with the swimming, a sport that I do competitively. In order for me to become a better swimmer, I need to set hard yet attainable goals. My goal by the end of the semester and continuing into summer is to attain at least one far western qualification time if not two or three. The main way I will attain this goal is to not only try to attend every swim practice but also to work hard in every practice and give my very best. In addition to water exercise, I have to work hard out of the water too, building up strength so that I have the tools to attain my goals. Overall, although difficult, my goals will help me improve not only in the subject but in being a better person as well.
