2018 has been a year full of changes, trying new
things, and working hard. It’s filled
with excitements and important things that have benefited every
one of my family members.
Through this joyful year, I have achieved a lot and
participated in many events, which made me stronger. How? By
trying new things, your eyes will open “further.” Here is an analogy. Imagine you are sitting in a dark room, and
there is one window. As you lift the
window shade, more and more light streams in.
As you experience more, the further you will understand the world. Some important achievements and benchmarks
include –
1. Learned to cook simple dishes
2. Worked hard throughout the year (https://worldthroughchildrenseyes.blogspot.com/2018/06/farm-animal-pillow-case-by-william.html)
3. Read many books (https://worldthroughchildrenseyes.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-7-habits-of-highly-effective-teens.html)
4. Got my first job: volunteer library assistant (https://worldthroughchildrenseyes.blogspot.com/2018/12/my-first-job-by-william.html)
5. Worked with LA Phil and sang in Andrew Norman’s A Trip to the Moon with LACC (https://worldthroughchildrenseyes.blogspot.com/2018/02/and-oscar-goes-to-by-william.html)

I feel that in the 11 years of my life, 2018 has been
the best and most productive. 2019 is
right around the curb, and I can’t wait for the clock to strike twelve. The Old Father Time will release his grasp of
the year of 2018, give birth to Baby New Year, and die a symbolic death. 2019 marks the beginning of more hope, joy,
and appreciation. It’s the year before
another decade as well. I have already
have my hopes high for the New Year.
Some of my excitements and hopes for 2019 are –
1. Learn how to cook more dishes
2. Use the “Appreciation Jar” that mom made to recognize other people’s help and contribution
3. Work even harder than I did in 2018
4. Grasp good opportunities that come by to experience more
5. Enhance my extra curriculum activities

Baby New Year is very close now, and I set my hopes
high, hopefully I will be able to accomplish my goals. Goodbye for now and the next time I write a
blog, the year shall be 2019.
