#GOALS

     Junior year is rumored to be the most difficult grade in high school. With challenges come goals, and I have many that are both academic and personal. During the school year, my goals are as usual: get good grades, don't procrastinate, and try not to be too stressed. I now have new goals to find a perfect college and prepare for it. This means good SAT scores, getting into the National Honor Society, and being the best all around person that I can be. Aside from school, I also have many personal goals. I hope to acquire a driver's license soon, allowing me to get a job. These are both steps towards achieving my main goal: foreign exchange in Japan. I suppose this could be considered an academic goal, but I am doing it for the experience rather than grades and credit. I also want to make more friends, travel to new places, and become a better photographer in order to capture it all.  I aspire to be more appreciative of life, and enjoy everything while I am young. All of these goals contribute to making me a better person than I am now, and I am very determined to achieve them.
