Amherst Youth & Community Coalition: New Year, second chances

Actually, it's more than a second chance.  Every year we get another chance to look at our lives and resolve to change the things we don't like.  It's called New Year's resolutions.  Some people succeed at their resolution, but most will last a month or so because those changes weren't important enough to suffer the inconvenience. If you resolve to lose weight and you give up the diet before you have reached your goal, then that resolution was no longer important to you.
