For 2011, I want to make sure to define what it means to be an educator. I'm Megan Yost, and a Junior at Grace College (from Wabash and home quite often). I'm majoring in Elementary Education. For my time at Grace, I have thought being an Elementary Education major has been fun and fits my personality, but with Student Teaching quickly approaching, I realize... I'm getting older and getting closer to being a teacher. I feel if it's only fair to future students and their parents if I know how to define myself as an educator. I want to be the best teacher I can be for these students. So here is to 2011... finding myself in the realm of education and taking my teaching skills one step higher. I hope to see that it not only benefit me within my profession, but my future students and parents as well.
Well said Megan! GREAT goal for 2011! Kimberly and I only hope that our children have you, or someone with the same values, goals and ambitions teaching our boys! Good luck to you!

My goal for 2011 is to get MARRIED, join the Catholic Church, and use more of my time to volunteer. I'm on track to join the Church in April and will be getting married in the Church July 16th! After looking back at 2010 I realized I could spend more time helping others this year.
I'm going to get (more) organized, and live by my list.
I just cleared my desk.... Right into a laundry basket.
I have pen in hand, and I've started several list as I sit here and work. Helps to clear the clutter in my head.

Well... where to start? I hope to get myself in better physical shape. Not only for myself, but since I became a grandma this past September I will have to be in good condition to run and play with the little guy as he gets older.
In 2011, I am working on being more patient with my kids. No more yelling or getting upset over the things that just do not matter. I do not want my kids to look back over their lives and say..all Mom did was nag an yell.
For me, 2011 isn’t about making self-improvements; it’s about loving myself for who I am. Sure, maybe I should make a resolution to not reach for the Maker’s Mark when my 1-year-old son spills steak seasoning all over the floor (which the dog immediately eats, then vomits up). And yeah, I could probably work on my road rage (as indirectly suggested by my son, who growls at other drivers from the backseat when I start yelling choice words at them). So what if the house isn’t perfectly cleaned every day, dinner isn’t on the table at 6:00 sharp each night, and I don’t spend time at the gym toning a jelly belly that is only rivaled by Santa’s (it’s winter, no one can see it anyway!)? I say we should all be happy to be who we are and quit putting so much pressure on ourselves with unrealistic resolutions. Maybe without feeling like failures, we’ll all be happier and our lives will consequently improve. So here’s to 2011, the year of being complacent! Wait, is that a toast? I need something to put in my raised glass—hand me the Maker’s…
In 2011, I want to set aside more family time. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of each day working 8-5, that I often forget that spending time with my family is WAY more important than making sure our house is clean and that all of the dishes are done! In 2011, I'm going to just sit with my kids if they want me to, read 10 books to my daughter in one night if she wants me to, play video games with my son if he wants and let the housework slide a bit. I am not going to stress about getting everything done around the house in a certain amount of time. Afterall, housework will always be there waiting for me . . . my kids won't. They won't want my undivided attention when they get older. So, I better take advantage of it while I can!
I am looking into the possiblity of having lap band surgery. For myself. I want to lose weight somehow for myself. If I win I want to save the session until I am at my goal weight. I want to feel better for myself. Not just to look better, but to feel better. I want to be able to run around with my kids. I want to be able to go bike riding with my kids. I want to do so much. The surgery would be a help in changing my lifestyle. So I pray that I am able to have the surgery.
2011 will be all about positive thinking. No more negative thinking or negative self talk for me. I will love every minute of my life for what that moment is offering me. Whether it is a lesson or a gift. I will be aware of any negative thoughts that try to enter my mind & I will change it immediately. Along with that I will be surrounding myself with positive people. There is too much negative in the world and God gave us such a beautiful world to live in, we all need to enjoy it while we can. I am greatful for my life, my faith, my family, my friends, myself. This is what my 2011 holds!
For 2011, I want to live for MYSELF!!!! I have had 2 major struggles in my life thus far and have learned that life is short so make the best of what God has given you, so.......I plan to make myself happy and not worry about what others may think or say about me!! I am going to live life for myself and my family and not stress about what others may think, say, or do!!
WOW!!! Thank you all for your time and thought into your comment. I believe 2011 is going to be great. Being YOU is sooo important, Love YOU, enjoy YOU and as always smile often!

In 2011, I want to not worry about EVERYTHING so much. Those of you that really know me should understand this! I am the queen of stress and worry! I don't really see this happening, but even a teeny tiny bit less would be an improvement! Wow, this would improve so many areas of my life if I could do this. I have it so good, truly good, but I freak out so much that sometimes I think I miss out on some of the joy in life!!!
In 2011 I plan to work a little less and enjoy my kids a little more before I blink and they're grown!
For 2011 I am going to be a mommy again for the 2nd time, so that means no resolutions for me!! I really want to put my best foot forward and enjoy my little ones while they are still little. I am going to not stress over things and enjoy my beautiful life and fantastic family. After all in the end they are the ones still standing beside you and loving you for who you are!!

oh 2011 i am not sure what i want to do with you! my husband wants me to have the table cleared off all the time and the house spotless. but with working fulltime and 2 small kids i do not see that happening! but i guess one thing i want to do, and it is going to sound silly, but i want to grow my hair out. when i get stressed or feel out of control i cut my hair. i believe it is because i can control that! i would like it to be past my shoulders. it stems back to me controling my stress not it controling me! so here is to long hair for me! (do not worry it would still need trimmed!)
