The Daily Pilot went to Corona del Mar High School to ask

seventh-graders, “What are your New Year’s resolutions?”

‘To help more with the community, like picking up trash and to be more

organized and on top of my studies. I want to be more engaged with my

dancing and theater.’

Stephanie Finney, 13

Corona del Mar

‘I don’t need to make a resolution. I feel blessed to have good

friends and a wonderful family.’

Katherine Ossipoff, 12

Newport Beach

‘Help friends a lot if they need it and be respectful to everyone

around me, even if they’re mean to me.’

Jaffer Kattan, 12

Newport Beach

‘Be more independent and responsible, and to be nicer to other people.

I’ll try to get better grades too.’

Victor Hoang, 12

Fountain Valley

‘Continue doing well in school, be more organized, and would like to

keep up with everything.’
