Loved

Yeah, the truth hurts but hey you have to start somewhere right? This kind of sucks because everyone else in my age group and my friends seem to know what exactly they're going to do while I'm cluelessly floundering behind them.  To prevent myself from developing an existential crisis at the ripe old age of 14 I've decided to at least write down some type of general game plan (?) to make sure I’m not totally dead in the future.

I want to be...

1) Personality/Habits

My self esteem isn’t very high and I really want to be confident because confidence in yourself is something that everyone should have.  It makes you feel good about yourself and helps out incredibly in social situations and oral presentations and speak out.  I also want to be kinder, overall, to my parents, family members, friends, classmates, peers, teachers, etc.  

2) Grades

As a typical traditional Chinese teenager raised in HK, grades are a pretty big thing To be fair, my family members have been a lot more lenient and “freeing” compared to others as they don’t want me to fret and be anxious.  And it’s usually me (yes sue me I’m a nerd) pushing myself to reach goals, staying up late studying, working hard for grades, etc.  Though I try really hard (and most of the time hard work does = good grades) there are some classes that I’m just not good at.  To be specific, math, Chinese, and: P.E. So I’m aiming for improvement, improvement, improvement, and hopefully get honor roll/principal roll consecutively in high school.

3)  A good person

 Yes this goal may be simple and popular goal and hopelessly overused in terms of goals and resolutions but nonetheless it’s a good goal.  Well at least it’s better than being a bad person? Not to mention very hard to achieve because what is exactly the definition of a "good person"?  Well to me, I want to be the type of person that people (my family, peers, friends, classmates, teachers, etc) trust, depend on, respect, and fear.  Okay maybe not so much fear but everything else is yeah, pretty much what I want to be.
