The New Year is already here. I guess you have all done your New Year's resolutions for 2025. For my students, that is to say, for younger generations, it is a great deed. Unfortunately, for older people it has become just a routine to turn over a new leaf.

Yes, the new year has started, so everyone will have their own goals for 2025, for example: mine are to try to improve as a person, it will be a bit difficult, to get better grades because I didn't make any effort last term, to stay away from bad influences and to help more at home. I don't know if I'll be able to accomplish them all, but I'm sure that I'll accomplish almost all of them because if I don't start to focus more on my studies, I won't be able to have a good future.
