The year of 2009 is almost over. After a long and tiring year everybody is ready to bring on the New Year. New Year's Day marks the end of one year and begins a new year it also is a time to make the changes we want, or maybe need, to change. There are people all around the world already thinking about what their new year resolution is going to be.

What kind of goals do you want to achieve this year?

Freshmen Kody Kent  wants, "To give back to people who have helped me in the past. I think I'm going to do that is I will volunteer to help them out when I can."

Sophomore Chris Fenton has a different goal he tries to achieve every year. "I try to be a new person with the new year. I try to make sure my family is happy and joyful," he explained.

While many kids have goals in their personal lives, the most resounding resolution seems to revolve around students' school work. Each year students try their hardest on the basic school resolutions.

Senior Ariel Lawhon is one of the those students trying to buckle down for that final stretch at CHS. "I'm going to get good grades so I can graduate next year. I'm going to make sure all of my work is done and completed," she said.
