| AMG's New Year's Resolutions Compiled by: Emily Long New year, new you? AMG's writers share their resolution for the new year. Wish us luck in keeping them! Eunice Kim Next year, I plan to involve myself in homeless outreach programs around my school in Massachusetts. I've already been involved in my hometown Los Angeles and what kept me going were the staggering homelessness rates in places like Skid Row. I've always held the prejudice that LA is the worst it can get, and I assumed that everything was all flowers and rainbows in New England. But I plan to involve myself more in Boston and in the Pioneer Valley and figure out for myself that poverty exists everywhere. Lydia Clark My New Year's aspiration is to be the best person that I can be at work, school, and in all of my daily and personal activities. I want to continue to help and inspire others. Clarissa Wong My resolution is to read more everyday to improve my writing. Sarah Cushing Here is my resolution: To document accomplishments and important moments of 2009 in a creativity journal. Isabella Hecht I resolve to stop making New Years' resolutions that I can't follow. Caitlin Emmons I plan to not hold grudges against people for the things they do/say to me. Emily Long I plan to have an open mind and continue to experiment with my activities, interests, and passions-who knows where the path will lead me? Deborah Murad Rather than a resolution, I like to come up with a motto to help guide my year. This year my motto will be "BE BETTER." In other words, try hard to do what ever I have to do better, without complaint and in a timely manner. Nicola Pioppi My goal for this year is to become a daylight vegetarian, to help protect our earth and our animals while still occasionally enjoying a quality cheeseburger. Sarah Chaisson Warner I resolve to be more giving of my time and money - whether it be to charity, spending more time playing with my dogs, or squeezing in a little extra time to talk with friends, even when my day seems to be swamped. |
