Time flows so fast that the past year was already over and the new year is here.

Now, this is the time to sit down and reflect about things in the past and set the
goals for the next one. Do you have any regrets for the past year and any hope for
the next one? That is an important question and you have to be honest to find the
answer for yourself.
For me, the past year is a special year. There are a lot of memorable things:
happiness, sorrow, loss, help and gratefulness,.. The biggest loss is my Dad being
taken away from me forever. He was the greatest person whom I love, admire and
respect the most. My Dad brought me into this world and loved me with all his
heart. He sacrificed unconditionally his life to give me a full life. I always tried my
best to study and work hard in order to deserve his sacrifice. And I knew he was
proud of me. My only regret is that I rarely showed my love to him. Every time I
was with him, I was really shy to show my love. I don’t even remember the last
time I said “ I love you, Dad”. It’s bad because I never have any chance to do it
again. So I realized that I have the greatest family and I have to love it as much as I
can. I paid a heavy price to learn that.
In the next year, I hope that everything will be better with my family and me. I
have to study hard and try my best. My success in the future will make my family
happy who have great hope in me. One of my goals in the new year is using
English fluently. Besides that, I will do well in school and join in a lot of events to
have more experience and widen my relationship.
I hope in the new year I will continue to try and achieve my goals.
