Justyna from Illinois
As the 2005 school year came to an end, I realized that in the midst of all my accomplishments, a plague of procrastination infected me. No matter the subject, no matter the project, I procrastinated. For this reason, my New Year's Resolution is to be less of a procrastinator.
Rachael from South Carolina
My New Year's Resolution is to get 42 points before school gets out. I would like to reach 90 or 100 points before the next New Year.
Adam from Nebraska
My New Year's Resolution for speech is twofold. The first part is to have as much fun at practice and competition as possible. The second part is to buckle down and get ready for district competition. I am sure that I can accomplish my resolution.

Get a full scholarship to University of Texas by winning UIL state in policy debate, because I really want to go to University of Texas, because of their great law program, and my family cannot afford it.

Amanda from Ohio
My New Year's Resolution is to focus on my school work because I have been letting too many things get in the way and my grades are slipping.
Danielle from Missouri
My New Year's Resolution was to prepare for Congress. I usually get too caught up in CX to care at all about it. I will break, I will place, and I will win.
Josie from Colorado
I want to get organized. My room/locker/backpack look like a tornado whipped through them..<cry/whimper, cry>so depressing.
Jennifer from Montana
My New Year's Resolution was to be myself. Every other year I have tried to impress someone by changing who I am. Whether it was my teachers, friends, or family members, I have never been my true-self. That is why I am going to be myself this year without worrying about impressing anyone.
Nick from California
My New Year's Resolution this year is to try and become moreopen to other types fo debate. Last year I just did Parliamentary Debate, but I think I need to become more open and try new things. I think that will help me more after high school. My goal is to eventually become a politician so I am now trying to focus on Congress Debate.
Lauren from Virginia
My New Year's Resolution was to recruit more members to the Chantilly Forensic Team. I shamelessly plugged the Debate and Forensic Team until I recruited at least ten people! That makes me feel good to see more people enjoy my hobby: FORENSICS!
Braden from Nevada
My New Year's Resolution was to prepare my hardest to win at my State Tournament this year. It has been a goal of mine for a long time and now that I am a junior, I am going for the gold!

Becky from Ohio
My New Year's Resolution was to become a healthier eater. Originally, I had wanted to just lose weight. Then I realized that losing weight would be only one benefit of eating healthier. I decided to focus on eating healthier in general so that I could not only improve my self-esteem but also the status of my health.
Sara from Texas
Do each of my events with zest and enthusiasm.
Marie from Utah
