What I want for 2017 - goals and ambitions

This new year will hopefully bring good things to my life and I want to do as much as possible in this year as I can, to help me in the future. This includes working on things at school, cadets and other activities, which I will talk about in this post.

Firstly, I want to finish my bronze d of e. I started this in April 2016 at cadets, as soon as I turned 14. At school I would be doing it this year but thanks to air cadets, I got a head start. I have not been giving this as much attention as I should because I haven't even started my skill section yet, nor have I decided what I am going to do. I only have to do it for 12 hours so I am going to choose anything that is available to me. I have nearly completed both my physical (6 months) and my volunteer (3 months) sections.

Also, I want to take my career as an air cadet to the next level and become a corporal, the rank higher than a cadet. I really believe that this will help me develop as a person and help me with life skills. to do so, it is recommended that you go on a camp (which I wanted to do anyway) so I will put my name down for the next one. the only issue is that it will be during school term and collide with anything important, as I am doing my GCSEs. However, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I can catch up with lessons.

On my instagram page I currently have around 230 followers and I really want to reach around 350 at least by the end of the year - that is my current goal. Normally I don't like to set myself goals for fear I don't reach them but this is something I think I can achieve.

I will possibly be starting a YouTube channel this year, but it depends on how things go. Currently my life is busy enough with all of my hobbies, school, homework, sleep, friends and having down time. Most of my down time is spent on social media (a bad habit we all seem to have) so I might try to cut the amount of time I spend on social media down. I feel that I am staring at a screen all day, and it's not healthy.
