As 2016 comes to an end, people are reminiscing on the good memories, and the bad ones. Along with all the memories, many are also starting to think about what their new years resolutions are. Some may be going back to their resolutions they made last year, or the year before, and some might be starting with a fresh new list. Whether it is to get back into the gym, not procrastinating so much, everyone has at least one thing on their mind. This year, though, I think we should all make a goal not so much for ourselves, but for others in the community.

I hope as you think about all the resolutions you want to make in the new year, you think about the people who are homeless, jobless, or just need a hand. There are so many people who are struggling without a shelter and are trying to live each day with whatever they find on the streets. Maybe on your walk to work or to your next shopping stop, you can help someone in need. A little help will always go a long way.

My news years resolution this year to be a little kinder to everyone I meet. I want to be able to help people who are in need. I want to meet new people with similar future goals as I might have. I want to make new friends, and travel more; to see what this world truly has to offer.
