New Year’s Resolutions “Many people make New Year’s resolutions. They seek to develop decisions to put an end to old habits, develop new ones or achieve goals that are important to them. Sometimes, we succeed in keeping our resolutions, but after the third or fourth month passes by, we set aside our good intentions and resume back to our old habits. Before making a resolution, we should evaluate our true motives and level of commitment to change. This year, let’s bring in the “new” and put an end to old habits.”                                                                                                                  -Darlena Swann 

Be Strong We become stronger when we pursue a better education for ourselves and for our children. We become stronger when we demand a safer and secure environment. We become stronger when we stand up for equal rights and justice. We become stronger when we choose to live a healthy lifestyle by taking better care of our bodies. We become stronger when we decide to live in peace and harmony with others even when we’re not accepted. We become stronger when we succeed at fulfilling our dreams by overcoming obstacles. We become stronger even when we fail because we learn from our experiences. Today, I will focus on something positive to draw strength from.                                                                                                                                               -Darlena Swann
