Resolutions: Do You Make Them?

Happy New Year!

Today probably finds you back at school after a nice long break. But I'm sure it wasn't long enough, was it? If you're anything like me -- you probably feel like you need a vacation from vacation!

Did you make any New Year's resolutions? If so, what were they? If I had to guess, I would say your collective resolution is to share more poems on the Express It page because poetry submissions are totally off the hook right now!

Or, do you rebel from the tradition by not making any resolutions at all? AND, there's another problem: January 1st probably doesn't feel like the beginning of a new year to most of us. The new year begins in August or September when school starts!

I'm trying to think of a resolution for the Teens' Website. Can you help me come up with one? What can be improved upon? What needs changed? In 2009, what is the frontier for this website?
