The year is wrapping up, and all I can think of is what my New Year’s Resolution will be. Last year I made one, but it kind of went out of the window the first couple months.

However, I believe 2013 is a special year for me, and I want to aim higher than ever. So I am going on a limb to say that my New Year’s Resolution is to be a consistent follower of Christ and play in the NBA or top division FIBA team.

Here are the New Year’s Resolutions for the Chaminade Silversword student newspaper staff writers.

Mathias Berbel

My New Year’s resolution is not getting arrested because if you get arrested it’s bad and I’ve been arrested to many times.

My New Year’s resolution is to call my parents more often because I feel guilty for not making enough time for them in my busy schedule. It’s a six-hour difference from where I live in North Carolina.
