BEFORE:
My change is to control my anger. Why I want to control my anger because I want every body not to be scared of me. This change will help me get more friends. The change will help the world by every body wont think I’m a bad person. I will talk to some people to help me with this change.

AFTER:
I did achieve my goal because I went three months without getting mad, and I made 4 new friends. How I did this was by getting help from my family and friends. They told me when I get mad I should count to ten. My friends helped me not get mad. I have more friends because I don’t get mad. I learned to count to ten, to take steps away, think about good stuff and not negative stuff. Well, it changed my life because now people are not scared of me. Now I am not marked the bad and mean guy. I am marked cool and nice. This changed my life and helped me be a better person.

Vicente Araiza I want to accomplish not getting into trouble so that I can do good and not get suspended. I won’t be in trouble and I won’t fight. I want to accomplish good grades in math.

I am not getting into trouble like last year. I haven't been suspended for awhile. I am doing better than last year. I am getting better grades. I have memorized and learned fractions and I am doing better in math. I am being helpful in class and trying to get more things in my brain for AIMS and benchmarks. If I do good in school I will get a better job. If I keep working hard I can get an even better job.
Celeste Nunez I hate that I get mad at my boy friend, mom, and my sister. I got mad at my boyfriend because of the thing he does. Thing like not calling me, not writing back to me on myspace, and not know that I like him a lot . I gat mad at my mom because I can’t use the phone a lot and I don’t gat what I want all the time. And last I get mad at my sisters because they go in to me room when I’m taking to people. Sometimes I’m happy and I get mad all of all of a sudden. When I get mad I stop talking to people and stop working and I get frustrated. When I stop talking to people I feel all ugly inside. I don’t want to feel ugly and bad and stop talking to people around me. If I stop getting mad all the time I will feel so much better. I will have a lot more time to work on the change the world project if I am not as angry as I was. If I am not angry I will be a good role model. I achieved my goal partway. I know I did because I don't fight with my sister, and I don't get mad at my boyfriend. I worked at not getting mad by talking to people about problems. I learned how to control my anger. I practiced by listening. I have a bad habit of saying stuff back to people, like talking back. I learned to put my hand over my mouth or say things in my head to myself. It has helped me get into less trouble. I am happier because I do not get in as much trouble. I don' fight with people as much anymore. It will help me in the future by not quitting or by not throwing problems aside. I work through my problems now. I am happy I acheived my goal.
Sarah Houde I would like to change one thing about myself and that is my temper. Sometimes I just want to hurt someone because they make me upset and I cant help it and I just want to stop. I want stop my temper so I can get along with my friends better. I think I am not getting mad at people as often as I did. I am not getting angry at people because I am quiet when I am mad. I am sensitive. I feel happier now. I want to be happy and not act like I did when I was little.
Victoria I want to change the way I am shy. I want to change the way I am so quiet in class. I think if I change the way I am so shy I will have more friends. I will be noticed by a lot of people. If I am nice and out going, I will be more like a leader. People will look up to me. I did and didn't acheive my goal because I am still kinda shy to talk in other classes. I achieved it by talking to people outside. I said hi to more people. I still want to raise my hand in class. I think I still need to work on achieving my goal.
