Today is the start of a brand new year. To me, the new year is like a fresh start. I make a little time to take inventory of my life and look for ways that I can not only improve me, but can improve the lives of those around me.
This blog is a project, inspired by Linda Yollis' Picture a Day Challenge, that I am beginning with my students to take a picture and write something every day. Yes, weekends count.
The rules are simple:
* Take/use an interesting photo - Your photo can be recent or older. It can be related to school or not. Fridays will be reserved for a 20 Time photo.
* Tell us where the photo came from - Did you take it? Did someone else?
* Write something to go along with the photo - You could tell a story about the photo or something else that is on your mind related to the photo.

* End with a Question - Get your readers thinking about your post. These question should help to start a discussion in your comments section.
* Write every day and have fun - You will look back on this at the end of 2016 and remember what was going on daily.

So this year I have three goals for myself.
1. I want to spend more time with my family this year.
2. Read more for pleasure
3. Get more regular feedback from students
So for the new year, I challenge you to start writing. You may find it to be really rewarding.
What are your goals, personally and academically, for the new year?
