Some people set goals for sports, jobs, or academics. One goal for sports is to be the top leading scorer. A goal for work is to get a promotion within a few months. Lastly, a goal for academics can be to have straight A's all year.

After about 10 years working as a fireman he meets 17 year old Clarisse McClellan who makes him realize that his job is wrong. Also, over the Thanksgiving break I attended a Key Club event. In this event I helped out with the counting of how many toys were left over from last years toy drive. This year city council plans to give away 5,000 toys in their annual toy drive so I was asked help with inventory. It was a great experience and I would definatly do it again. Lastly, my family and I met togther at ...
