This year is a new start for me so my first new year's resolution is to get along with my brother better. I'm going to do this because we are ALWAYS having fights and arguing over little things like if he took my phone I would start shouting at him and pushing him around. I'm going to do this because my parents are always stressed when they hear us shouting. I want to do this because in order to love myself I have to love others. If I stop fighting with my brother then I can get along with people worse than he is and not retaliate to what they say or do.

My second new year's resolution is to work harder in science and maths. To do this I want to use more mathematic and scientific words to show my understanding. To do this I want to take part in group discussions more to prove that I understand the topic and to explain something to someone. I want to do this because it will be really important in SATS and secondary school and it will help me achieve my dream of becoming a Medical doctor.

My third new year's resolution is to help my mum in the kitchen more often. My mum shouldn't be doing practically all the work in the kitchen and it will give her time to catch up on other things. It will be nice because I always chuck my plate in the sink and run off to watch television. It will also help me so that I can get used to it and do things independently in the future.
