I will lose 15lbs by the end of the year. This was my New Years resolution for at least 3 years. Sometimes I kept it and other times I…didn’t. The battles made with making and keeping New Years resolutions are becoming repetitive. A resolution is simply, “a firm decision to do or not to do something”. Some make resolutions and attempt to stick with them and others prepare a response on how they don’t make New Years resolutions. Rather you choose to make a resolution or not, at the end of the day, YOU want to be better YOU than the previous year. Looking deeper, making New Years resolutions can and will put pressure on an individual to perform. Not to mention there is always someone to say, “I thought you were going to stop doing this” or “start doing that”.

The long-term behavioral goal that I wish to focus on for this assignment is to do physical exercise five-days a week. Regular physical exercise would help me maintain a healthy weight, reduce my risk of heart attack and stroke, improve my mood and well-being, and is an important factor for a long and healthy life.

An issue that is hotly debated is if there should be year-round schools or not. Some people think year-round school is beneficial, but there is evidence why there should not be year-round school. The first school was made at 1635 and there has schools that had the full summer break since then (“First Public School in America”). Since schools have been successful with an full summer break till now there is no need to change to year-round schools. There should not be year-round schools because it disrupts events in the summer, cost more money, and messes up schedules.
