A new year, a new decade, and another set of resolutions for everyone. What is it about New Years that makes everyone feel like starting over? With a new calendar comes a new set of goals, especially for students and teachers at FHS. So what is it that everyone wants to improve this year? Grades? Health? What about good ‘ole Dr. Staub? “I’m on a health kick,” the principal said; his resolution this year is to exercise more and eat right. Junior Deb Fanning is hoping that the new year will bring her speedy recoveries from her shoulder surgery, so she can get back into the pool where she belongs. Senior Adam Teets wasn’t thinking about grades or health; he hopes that the new year will help him “to be more open minded about women, athletics, and about our purpose and being in the universe.” Fellow senior Zack Burns would like to “play a larger role in the global economy.” Sounds like these seniors are ready for the world. Teachers have their own opinions about new year resolutions. “They never work,” Ms. Ross said, as she explained that her resolutions are always the same: to exercise more and get more organized., but we all know that Ms. Ross will never accomplish organization. Other teachers are taking a different approach to the new year. Mr. Wargo never has a new year’s resolution. He believes that one should try their best to be what they want to be every day, and not make special exceptions because of the new year. As a result, Junior Shannon Schimmer’s additional New Year’s resolution is to be more like Mr. Wargo. Moving on to more realistic goals: freshman Brianna Haglan hopes to exercise more in the coming new year, and sophomore Adam Trasport is working on “not talking so much about beanie babies because the chicks think it’s weird.” FHS is filled with character; each student and teacher hoping for a little more to be accomplished this year.; but knowing this school, if you had a New Year’s resolution that you promised yourself, I’m sure you’ve either already forgotten about it or you have moved on to bigger and better things.
