“New Year, New Me”

With 2016 coming to a close, it’s almost over which means it is time to start thinking about New Year’s resolutions. It is a great opportunity to make self-improvements in the new year. These changes could range from trying new activities to making a new fitness routine everyday. Students at Sacred Heart are excited to see what 2017 brings.
Creating personal goals is common, but maintaining those goals can become a struggle. However, some Valkyries are willing to give it a try with these resolutions:
SHA students are always trying to be successful in their schoolwork. See that through these students’ resolutions:
- Senior Kaelin Gentile said, “To not slack on my senior year.”
- Senior Lizzy Pass said, “Decide on a college.”
Other SHA students have different resolutions than the typical fitness or school-related goals. Here are some resolutions that you don’t hear everyday:
- Sophomore Ava Medley said, “I should floss my teeth.”
- “My resolution is to brush my hair, because I don’t do that,” said senior Christian Davis.
- Junior Maddie Hall said, “mine is to wear more jewelry.”
The faculty of Sacred Heart is looking forward to a chance to make improvements in their lives as well. Here are some New Year’s resolutions from the faculty:
- “I want to read a book every month.” said Ms. Ferch.
- “Make my bed every morning,” said Mrs. Swiergosz.
- After some thought, Sr. Lorna said “Maybe I should try to smile more at lunchtime.”
No matter what you want to achieve, establishing a New Year’s resolution and sticking to it is a task worth trying. Share your New Year’s resolutions with The Rune on Twitter @SHANews_Lou.
