New Year resolutions are one of the most, if not the most popular New Year's traditions celebrated on this day. People list their goals for the next year as well as retrace their steps in the previous to see if they fulfilled their wishes. Some common resolutions are getting more active, becoming a better person, trying new things, and being kinder to those around them.
Students and teachers at New Hyde Park Memorial High School named some of their own resolutions.
“For next year, I want to be a better student and a better person overall to everyone around me,” said eighth grader Madhav Shibu.
“I want to be a better student and try to be more fluent in Japanese,” said seventh grader Meera Lal.
