Goals For Freshman Year

This year being my first year of high school, I have many goals I’d like to accomplish for this year. Academically, I’d like to attempt to expand my vocabulary. There’s a countless amount of words out there that I’m sure I’ve never even heard of in my life. I feel like it’s important to be able to understand and use them, so such extravagant words don’t go to waste. Later on in life I’m sure having a larger vocabulary would most likely be helpful in whichever career choice I choose to take. Spiritually, I’d like to get to explore more about all religions than just Christianity. Being raised in a Christian home and family, the only religion I’ve been taught my entire life has been Christianity, and I’ve just gone alone with it believing it’s right not even questioning my own thoughts on what I think is true. With so many different religions in the world there are so many choices in what to believe in and you shouldn’t be held to believing in one just because you were raised in a family that’s been telling you to believe in it. Therefore, I think it’s very important at some point in your life to ask yourself what you want to believe in and not be dependent on the thoughts of other people telling you what is right. Socially, I want to be involved more with people who have the same interests as me. When I say people, I don’t only mean in school. I mean on the internet aswell. One of my favorite parts of the day when I get home is when I take out my laptop, log onto my twitter, and tweet about foster the people with my internet friends for the rest of the night.  Even though some of them live halfway across the world they are some of the best friends I’ve ever had.
