Writing

Answer: My dad makes new year resolutions every year. What's most fascinating is that he comes up
with the rarest of resolutions each year. He strives hard to keep them. At the end of the year, he takes
stock of the situation to see if he was able to fulfil it.

Off late, I have been inspired by my dad. For the last two years, I’ve been making new year resolutions.
Last year, I resolved to exercise daily and keep myself fit. My father encouraged me. Every time I
slackened in my resolve, he kept reminding me and encouraging me. Today, I feel fit and good about
myself.
