New Year Begins!

What's so great about new years?
Personally for me, and well as many other people, it's a new beginning. I'm going to reflect my past year 2010, and overcome what I can achieve for 2011.

For 2010, I did many life changing things:
* Moving from NC to WA was pretty main thing for me. By this, I have gained new perspectives such people, weather, and education. It also had an impact that throwing away your junk is quite tough, I regret a lot of things I did not bring.
* Had a vacation in Japan: Visiting my grandfather's grave was cool. I met my father's side of the family and realized that my cousins were twice older than me.
* Losing my suitcase during the travel. This was a catastrophe. My clothes were gone, the spare SD card for my camera... only arrived the day leaving Japan. This experience had changed me. I should be grateful for a few things, not wanting for more and more.
* Recording what I read and when finished. I did this so I can see how my books affects test scores on reading. For 2010, I read 47 books (4 Japanese, 43 English)
* Received about 30 Shonen Jump Comics (composed of many chapters from various mangas). This wasn't a good thing but made me realized that if you happen to give out your possessions, you somehow receive something in return (indirectly).

It's time that I made more positive changes for 2011:
* again record my books that I read, but will be more than 50!
* challenge myself to get a Varsity Letter in community service. Perhaps gold metal for 250 hours?
* Part-time job. I've been dreaming about going to interviews and making money for the past 2 months. It's time that I become independent and getting out of the house instead of earning allowances for massaging my parents. I do that for free :)
* Take Biology and Algebra II online. This I cannot be sure. It's something I want to do.

These are my reflections. I wonder what somebody else's look like...

Happy Year of the Rabbit everyone!
