Class Evaluation

1. Things that I like about this class is  that we learn new skills and we start to develop more typing skills. This is very helpful to me because it helped me more since it was something i hadn’t done before. I also like that we get free time when we finish early. I like it because it get to do what I want and I could do work from other classes. Another thing I like is that we were able to create a portfolio were we get to write about our opinions we have on certain things.
2. Things that I did not like about this class was that we did a lot of the same things like the quotes, they all seemed similar and there wasn’t really anything new to write besides what is right and wrong. Another thing I didn’t like was that we would have random checks because sometimes I would come unprepared. It would be my fault but when we wouldn’t do it, we always had it. But there was hardly anything I didn’t like
3. Some recommendations for this class would be to do something a little more different like not always doing student success statements. Something more fun and have more free time at the end of class.
4. The highlight for me in this class would be when I learned how to do my own blog. It was something different and interesting to do although i was confused at first because I didn’t know anything. This class showed me how to do a few things but it was difficult at first.
5. I did do my best in this class because I really wanted to get a good grade. Especially since it was something new I was doing I thought I was going to do really bad. It did get difficult sometimes but it always taught me something different.
6. Yes, I am reading my life planning goals journal because I believe it’s very important that I am able to accomplish the goals I set for myself. It’s good that I am encouraging myself to accomplish a new goal each day. Although it doesn’t always happen but it is always good to give it a try and doing something good for myself.
7. I am committed in being a CTR person it is always important to do what is right. Even though it doesn’t always happen but I try to do good honest things that way I am able to feel good about myself and make the people around me happy.

“When you tell one lie it leads to another”

Paul Hatch

This quote means that it is never good to lie. Consequences come when you tell a lie because then people begin to no longer believe you and start to question if a lot of the things you said most of the time were true. When you first tell a lie, it could lead to other lies because you are just trying to tell the truth and if you feel like you tell the truth then something bad will happen. It will not always result like that because some people are able to understand and forgive the reason why you had to lie. Although, it does matter what kind of lie it was, but either way you should always tell the truth first because if you don’t then the person you lied to could end up finding out the truth. The truth will always be around and if you don’t want to feeling guilty then be sure to always tell the truth in any situation. For example, if you lost something that belonged to your friend and you lie to them saying that you forgot it or you left it at home. It will just cause you tobe lying more to that person and you can’t tell them the truth because maybe they won’t take it as bad. If you keep telling lie after lie then they won’t be able to trust you anymore . They won’t think that you are a trustworthy person and they won’t trust you as a person. That’s why it’s always important to tell the truth

The Sting of the Scorpion

Patrick Kearon was a little boy that didn't listen to his parents about wearing shoes and his consequence was that he got stung by a scorpion. This story can relate to what we learn because he didn't choose the right and he didn't listen to his parents because he was being lazy. We must always choose the right and listen to what we are told because they tell us things for a reason that can help us or affect us. Stories like these make us realize that it is  always important to do what is right because it can benefit us and save us. Many people decide to choose what is wrong like Patrick and it will cause bad things if you don't listen and do what is right.Just by choosing the wrong the consequence could be really bad and affect you very much. The lessons in life you learn from this is to make the right decisions because if you choose to do something wrong then something wrong will happen too.

Right

“Always do right”

Mark Twain

This quote means that no matter what you always have to do what is right. Always do things that will make you a good person and make it spread and want more people to do the right things like you do yourself. For example, if you tell a lie should tell the truth because lies only brings bad things. Always do what is right and tell the truth even though it could hurt. Another example, would be that if you see someone that needs help then do what is right and help them out because they would feel appreciated. It’s like doing a random act of kindness but your doing the right thing and showing other people and teach them to do the same. Always make sure to do what is right because it would bring bright things to you. If you choose to not pick what is right then it will bring consequences into your life. Just choosing what is wrong will not make you a good person even if you tried because you are not known for doing good things for you and others. Always choose what is right and because it is the right thing to do.

The 3 Questions:

1. Can people trust me to do what’s right?
2. Am I committed to doing my very best?
3. Do I treat others the way I want to be treated?

“If the answer is to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail.”

Lou Holtz

This quote means that people are able to trust you, commit doing your best and treat others right then there can’t be ways that you can fail. It’s like you can’t fail because you’re doing what is right and people are able to rely on you and you are being a ctr person. For example, if you are really close friends with someone and you are doing what is right by treating them right, being able to trust you and always doing your best then the friendship will last a long time. It’s important to do all these three things because only positive things will happen. If your answer would be no to these questions then, no the best things will come to you because you are only doing negative things. If you are able to show that you could be what the three questions say then that is good. Not only are you doing something and proving something that is right , but you are also setting an example for other people. This could help you succeed if you say yes to these questions because it shows the kind of person you are. You are committing to doing what is right .

Challenges Teens Face Today

1. Now a day many teens are going through many struggles since they are going through puberty, school pressures and social and parental forces. Many teens go through bullying because they feel like they are different and have a hard time to fit in. Bullying could sometimes go to the extreme that some would comet suicide. Another issue is drugs and alcohol,which could get them into problems in school or at home or even the law. Cyber addiction is a very big issue because many kids are always on technology. Which grabs their attention and they don’t even know what is going on in the real world. There are many issues that many teens go everyday and they struggle on ways that they could solve it because they may sometimes they can’t talk to anybody.

2. I believe I am facing today would be cyber addiction because I like to always be on my phone and I don’t really get involved in anything. Another issue I am dealing with would be stress. I seem to stress out about anything and sometimes it comes to a point where I can’t control it and I give up. Stress is a big issue for me because I seem to begin to think negative things. I try to control it and by doing something I like and I try to go outside for like a walk.

3. Being a CTR person helps me overcome challenges because i try to have a positive mind set and and do things that i like and try not to be a closed person and take out on anyone. I try to do things that will make me feel good about myself.

4. I could help other teens by giving them advice on how to control it or try to get over it. Also, another thing would be to try be to them your story and find ways and things that they like so they could overcome it in a positive way.

Reflection: The greatest need that teens have have is trying to find positive people to surround themselves with and be able to find people they could trust and care for them. For people to always be their for them and count on them. They may sometimes not be able to find the help they need and they feel like the only way they could solve it it could be by harming themselves, that’s why they need help finding someone they could talk to.

Physical Fitness

“Physical fitness is not the only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

John F. Kennedy

This quote means that not only physical fitness is the main thing to a healthy body but having the capacity to be able to be healthy and having skills. Being able to have skills and and be intelligent could also make your body a healthy one. For example, if your doing a sport and that is helping you have a healthy body, but also the skills that you have and the intelligence that you have that will help you win. That also helps you body be strong because you are using all you know to be able to be successful. To be able to have a healthy body and physical fit be able to use all you know wisely. For me to be able to improve my physical fitness i think i would have to stop giving up more easily and try harder because I know that I could do it, it will just take more practice.Another thing would be to be able to try more new things that I could learn to do that way i would develop more new skills. Seeking intelligence and skills would help you be a better and healthy person. It would improve you more just like it would probably help me. Its important to be able to have physical fitness with skills.

Kindness

“Kindness is essence of greatness”

Joseph B. Wirthlin

This quote means that kindness could bring a lot of good things to you like greatness. Kindness is the key to a lot of good of good things. When you treat people with kindness they will treat you the same way back because you are being a nice person to them. Being kind is the essence of greatness because when you do something good and you’re being kind then people will think that you are a good person and would like to treat you the same way. For example, when you do an act of kindness like donate to someone food or cloths then that brings greatness into you because you are doing something that is good and making a difference. Also, when doing something that is kind then that will bring great things to you and you will be good to everyone because they know the kind of person you are. Just like Wirthlin said it would bring greatness because you will feel proud about doing something kind and it will motivate you to doing it even more. Be kind that way you could have more opportunities. This is the key to greatness and when that comes only more good things will happen. Kindness is the essence to greatness because good things are done.

Thanksgiving Week

I didn’t do much during thanksgiving week. It was boring and I would be home most of the time. I didn’t see my family because they were all mostly at work and they went out of the state. On thanksgiving day, my family and I spent it at my house, we had lots of food that was very good and we would give thanks and appreciate everything we had. It was fun to spend time with my family talk about old memories and about our relatives that had passed away. During the weekends i would go out with my parents to go shopping, but i didn’t really enjoy because there was long lines. Another thing I did was watch soccer games with my dad and my brother. I was fun watching the intense games although my mom was against it because she said it was distract us a lot. While being at home I watched movies one of them was The Fast and the Furious. This is one of my favorite movies because it has a lot of action. During the break I recieved a lot of homework, more than what I get during school. One of my assignments was to read a book called “Night” it was an okay book not one of my favorites, and after i had to write three essays, one on the book, one about love i think and the third about giving bad news. I also had to do a lab report on a lab we had done the last day before break. This break wasn’t the best, but it was better than being in school i mostly spent it doing homework instead of going out.

                                             Don’t do it Don’t say it

                   “If it is not right do not do it, if it is not true do not say it”

                                        

                                                    Marcus Aurelius

This quote means that when you know something is not right it, it’s better for you to just not do it because that you know that, that could have a consequence. When something is not true then don’t lie and always tell the truth. For example, when you know it’s bad to be interrupting class by doing foolish things, then don’t do it. It’s better to for you to just behave and be able to control yourself. When you know something is wrong then just don’t do it that will cause no problems. Another example, would be to not lie when you know the truth, even if it is hard because you have to lie for a friend you would need to tell the truth. I know how it feels to tell a lie for my friends just to defend them but there could be consequences. Don’t say a lie if you don’t want to tell the truth then just don’t get involved in something that can get you in trouble. Always be honest and always do what is right. It will not cause no problems for you if you do what is right and you and say the truth. That will help you in also being a better person.

                                          Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

In 1621 the Plymouth colonist and the Native Americans had a harvest feast during the Autumn which was known as the first thanksgiving. For 2 decades thanksgiving wasn’t a holiday and only certain people would celebrate it. In 1863 president Lincoln was the one to proclaim it at a holiday. In  1817 New York was the first state to adapt to the new holiday. Although it all first started when the pilgrims came to America and the saw that they were people in this “discovered’ land by Christopher Columbus. They learned the ways the Native Americans would live and they also introduced new things to them that they had never seen before. When they had their dinner which is now every November they wanted it to be a tradition when they came over to this land. After time thanksgiving lost many of it original religious beliefs and now it is celebrated as a get together with family and friends and have a nice meal. Most people like to keep the tradition and eat turkey with other sides, but for those who can’t afford a thanksgiving dinner a food drive is held that way they could have a free meal and have a way to celebrate it.

Reflection: 12 things I am thankful for:

1. God
2. My parents always supporting me
3. A family that takes care of me and cares
4. Technology
5. Friends
6. School teaching me new things everyday
7. Community
8. Food
9. Grandparents
10. Teachers
11. Having a place to live
12. Freedom

           Doing what is right, fair and honorable

         “Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing”

                                                

                                                        Chick Moorman

This quote means that it is better to choose the right then being able to win or lose. For example, you always feel good when you win something but that is mostly something for yourself. And what if you won unfairly, you would need to choose the right and be honest and tell the truth. Being fair is very important. Another example, would be when you loose you need to choose the right and accept that you lost because that is how life is. You lost fair and square so you need to be able to do was is right and deal with it, you may have not won but at least you tried. It’s important that you are able to be fair and choose the right when you win and lose. Either way always choosing what is right 24/7 is better than winning and losing because you are doing a good for you and others around you. Doing the right thing is better because you could get a price for just doing something good.

Honest

“Honesty is the best policy”

Mark Twain

This quote means that is important to be honest. Being honest could be the best thing that anyone does because then they could be trusted. Mark Twain said that honesty is the best policy because being honest will bring good things and that will help you be trusted and be a good person. An example is that when you are being honest whether you lied or not. It’s like you always have to be telling the truth and it’s to be honest then to be caught saying a lie and not being trusted. When you are not being honest then that will just cause you to be doing all of the wrong things and that can also cause for you to not be able to trust you with anything. Honest is the best policy because that way people will be able to know that they can trust one another. It’s like when you are always being honest than you could also have a good name because people know that they could trust you. It could be the best policy because that way if you are always being honest then something good could happen to you because you are always being in a good path.

Shall be wise

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:but a companion of fools shall be destroyed”

:

Proverbs 13:20

This quote means that for those that get along and are involved with the people that are wise, they should be the ones to end up being wise and successful. For those that are always getting involved with the wrong people only doing things that are not good, should not be rewarded with being wise they should be destroyed because they are not doing anything good. For example, at school you hang out with the students that are truly dedicated and wanting to learn and become successful, being around them would encourage you to want to do good. Since you will be surrounded by the people that are wise , you will to if they need your help or you their help. Everyone wants to be successful but some just want it to happen to them without even doing anything. Another example would be when you decide to hang out with people that will only encourage you to do bad things. Those that only do bad things should be destroyed and making them realize that if they want to be successful they would have to change and choose the right pathway. If them fools want to change they need to change for the right. Always be with the people that are wise at making good decisions and helping you lead into what is right.
