One word

I chose the word FOCUS because this is something I need in my life right now. This word connects to all parts of me - my family life, my school life and my personal life. I know that I need to focus so that I can be successful in all I do in 2018.

My word FOCUS means that in my family life I will be more attentive to my parents and younger brother. I will pay attention to things like keeping my room clean, picking up after myself and helping around the house. I will take time to do my chores the right way so I don’t have to redo them.  Being focused will also help me not to say something mean and hurt someone’s feelings.  It will remind me to say sorry when I should.

Living my word FOCUS will also change my life because it will change my attitude towards school.  I will take time to FOCUS on my school work and understand how important it is for my future.  I don’t always like school and it’s difficult for me sometimes.  This shows in my school work when it seems like I’m not focused at all.

Finally, being focused will help in my personal life. The first step I’ll take to live this word is to FOCUS and be a better listener.  When I listen closely to others I will hear what they have to say and then I can answer the right way.  This will make conversations more interesting for me and I won’t just wander off in my head.  I will try to make the other person feel good and for them to want to talk to me. This will help my personal life as I get older.

I look forward to using my word  FOCUS as much as I can.  I will FOCUS so that I can have the best family life, school life and personal life in 2018 and beyond!
