“You will go far with CTR”

Mr. Haymore

This is a very powerful quote, it means that if you decided to to always choose the right then you will go far in life. If you decide to do what is wrong then everything will go downhill for you. You could never go wrong with choosing the right because it will bring so much joy and good things to you because you are making the right choices. Ctr will make you go far like being able to accomplish all of your goals that you had set for yourself and you will be able to do many things that you never thought you could do. For example, if you choose the right for the rest of your life then you will be an example for everyone and they would want to do the same as you and now you will be making better people. When do the opposite then people will see bad in you and it won’t do you any good. Make sure to always choose the right if you want to go far in life.

Class Evaluation

         This class was quite an experience because we learned many different things. Somethings I liked about this class was that we were able to develop new skills that helped me a lot along the way. I liked how we were able to use different sites to keep on practicing our skills and become better at it. I also liked how we had to do the medical career pathway because I got to learn about many careers and even some I didn't even know they existed. I was very interesting to see how we are able to learn many things in the digital computing world. The last thing I liked about this class was that we were able to work on projects with other people and not always stay seated the whole time.

       It wasn't always fun to do somethings. Somethings I didn't like about this class was that we did the same thing almost every single day for the whole school year. I would've wanted to be able to learn more new things outside of just typing and codes.  Another thing that I didn't really like was we always had to be seated in the same seats and it kinda got boring. Most of it though was not as bad though I think this was a good class. 

    Some recommendations for this class would be that to do more class activities and not always be doing the same thing. Also, be able to learn more of a variety of new skills that way others could experience if they like it or not. I think that is all because most of the things we did were fine. 

        The highlights for me in this class would be the when we got to work on the CTR and valentines day project. They were very fun because we got to work with people we wanted to and we were able to move around It was fun to be able to work with others that we felt comfortable around with. It wasn't everyday we did it but when we did it was fun. Another highlight of this class was when we were able to walk around in class to be able to talk about or breaks. It felt nice to be able to talk with people and talk to them about our experiences. 

       Honestly, I wouldn't always try my best because I would get tired of always having to do the same things. Also since in many student success statements I felt like I had to repeat myself sometimes because some quotes sounded the same and almost meant the same thing most of the times. When I did try my best was when we would different things like reflect on some videos or in the medical career pathway because those were things that interest me. Also when we would get the chance to pick any topic and research about it. But I learned that it is always better to try and work hard then to show no effort.

      I actually do read my life planning goals journal because I do think that it is important to be able to set goals for ourselves that way we are always able to improve and become better.  It way not be easy sometimes but it is worth a try. I like the fact that I am able to set any types of goals even if they may seem impossible but maybe it may happen one day. I think it is good to keep in mind that it is better to always know what way you want to go in life that way you make it a goal and soon accomplish it. 

    I can't promise that I will be a CTR person because sometimes it is hard to do because I do things that are wrong. Although i will try my best to do what is right and be able to make the right decision on my own that way I could become better and be a role model to others.  It is always better to be a ctr person because I know I will go far if I do it although there may be some obstacles along the way.

To be a CTR person

“ The ultimate choice is to be a CTR Person-to always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7”

Mr. Haymore

This quote means that the right thing to always do is choose the right. When you choose the right you could never go wrong because it only brings good things and benefits. That is the ultimate choice because if you want to do what is right you have to always make the right decision and be able to do things on your own. For example, anywhere you go you must be able to choose the right and help others and yourself that way good things could also happen to you. If you don’t decide to choose what is right then nothing good will happen, only consequences will be coming your way. Choosing what is wrong could never bring good things because it is not benefitting anyone if you say it is then your just lying to yourself. Choosing the right never lets you down because you develop this reputation and you become a legend because people know you for all the good things you have done. I have witnessed people that are choosing the right and they do very well and are always there to help other people. They are able to teach others what is good and what is bad and make us realize that choosing what is right can help us anytime and anywhere. Sometimes it maybe hard to make some decisions on our own but we always learn from our own experiences and that’s how we are able to become better.

Beautiful Character

“If there is beauty in character,there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home,  there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world. Conclusion: If there is beauty in character there will be peace in the world.”

Chinese Proverb

This quote means that there should always be peace because it is the best that can happen to everyone. Not getting along and having an ego is bad because you are not expressing to someone how you feel and you are not trying to make peace with them which is wrong. It is not the right thing to do because if you want to have a good character and have order then there will be peace for everyone. When you have good character there is going to be peace in the world you learned to forgive which is important because you know it is not good to not have peace. Having world peace is a very important thing because that way everyone is able to live and be whoever they want and everyone will get along no matter what. It is not very common to see peace but when we do it is good to learn from others that way we learn to do it ourselves. Having the beauty in character would make everyone a better person because we all know what is wrong and right and we could admit it ourselves when we are.

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”

Thomas Carlyle

This quote means that if someone doesn’t have a goals then how do they know on what they are suppose to focus on. They don’t have a  specific destination, like a ship is they don’t have a rudder then it won’t function properly. Having a goal is important because you are focusing on one thing to accomplish and you know where and what you want to do in order to accomplish it. The ship with the rudder know where it is suppose to go because the person has the goal to get somewhere and if the ship didn’t have a rudder then how would it ever get there, it’s like it’s not suppose to do anything. For example, if someone doesn’t know how to ride a bike, then there goal is to be able to do it. So they focus on what they need to do in order to accomplish it. If the person didn’t have a goal then how would they ever accomplish it, they don’t have that determination to accomplish it because they don’t have the idea to be able to complete it. This applys to my life planning goals because I will set goals for myself that I will try to accomplish that way it could help me be more successful.

Memorial Day Weekend

My memorial day weekend was fun and bad because a lot of things went down personally. Things I did were going to my uncle's house to spend sometime with the and my grandma that came from Mexico to visit. It was fun to see my cousins and talk to them and keep up with things that have been going around. Another thing I did was on Saturday I went to my friends party, it was her 15 and I had a lot of fun because I went with my friends and I got to see a lot of people I hadn’t seen in a long time. We talked a lot and we also got to meet some new people which was also interesting. On the next day I didn’t do much because I got really sick and I felt really weak which didn’t motivate me to do anything. Movies I got to watch was “Gifted” it is about a little girl who is very smart and good at mathematics and it was good movie I got to enjoy with my family. Some CTR experiences I had over the weekend was I helped my parents with the chores around the house. Another thing I also did was homework, I sadly procrastinate and it caused me to not be able to finish my draft for my essay because it was a lot to do and I couldn’t handle the stress. The book I had to read in order to write my essay was Across Hundred Mountains, it was a very interesting book I enjoyed to read and it was quite long and it has caused me to begin to lag. I overall had some good and bad days, even though there have been better but things happen for a reason.

Forgive

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

Forgive means to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake.

Alan Paton

This quote means that in order for you to heal and feel better you have to learn how to forgive. To be able to live a positive life you need to learn how to forgive someone because when you don’t you will just feel bitter all of your life. It’s also good to forgive because that way you are able to give someone else a second chance. Being able to give someone that second chance is important because you free them from having to be live guilty and they know that it is also time for them to heal. For example, if you get in a fight with your best friend learn to be able to forgive them and give them a second chance. Just doing that will make you feel better and you are also letting them know to start over and not make them feel bad for what they had done and you could both learn from that experience. It may be hard at first to do it because it is not always easy, it may take sometimes, but when you know it is time you could heal and positive again. When you don’t learn to forgive that you feel guilty and miserable because things will never go back to how they were. Healing is the best thing you could do in order to recover from something that may have been to hard to handle.

Memorial Day

Memorial day is special day when we get to remember the people that died while being in the military. This day is always celebrated on the last monday in the month of may which is in the late spring. Some ways we could show honor and respect on memorial day is by having public festivals and feast where everyone can get together and have a good time. Another thing that is done is that many people take flowers and put out pictures of the people who died.

Some interesting facts are:

• It became a federal holiday until 1971
• It was originally called Decoration day
• Every person that died serving for the country gets put is a small American flag put on their grave
• Over 2 dozens states claim to be the birthplace of memorial day

Somethings I would do to show honor and respect on memorial day is be grateful for everything that they have done for the country. Another thing I would do is fly a flag in my house to show honor. And lastly I would support the military families that have a family member in the military or someone who passed away.

My thoughts and feelings on memorial day is that I do feel bad for all the families who may have lost someone special to risk their lives. Yet I am happy that they get to remember them and be proud for what they did to defend all of the people in the country. My thoughts on it is that, this holiday should be more well known because don’t even know when it is and it is a very important day for the country. This is a very special day when many people get to be remembered for the benefits they did to our country that made us all better and stronger. They are a big influence and I think they deserve all the respect. They did so much for many of us and they we all need to be grateful for what they did. These people  should never be forgotten for all the good they did I think we should do more things in our community that way we could all get together and have a special moment as one big community.

Do Right

“Dare to do right”

Rex D. Pinegar

This is a powerful quote because you should always do what is right because it is a positive thing to do. This dare should be one of those that you should be able to complete because it is simple and you are doing it in a kinda manner way.

When you dare to do what is right you become more and more of a choosing the right then choosing the wrong kind of person. For example, when someone dares you to always do what is right then you will do things that will help you become a better person and you will be able to make better decisions for yourself and you will always be honest about things. When you take the challenge to do what is wrong, then you are not benefiting yourself at all because all you’re gonna get from doing what is wrong is bad consequences.

Nothing

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong”

Nothing is ever gained when you do what is wrong because you can’t get a reward for doing something that can affect you are others. Doing what is wrong will bring you prison, trouble, and no one wanting to be around you because they would think that you’re a big danger for them. For example, if you rob a store, you won’t gain anything from it because you will be looked for to go to prison and you will have a bad reputation for what you did. You can’t gain any good not even if you try to hide from it and avoid it because it will always be following you until you do what is right.

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle?  No, never! I’d die first.”

This quote means that once you say something like your word of honor it’s because you are going to go by it and won’t break it. When you say that you are going to do something you have to keep your word, it’s just like a promise you make that you are going to keep. Keeping your word is important because you show yourself that you’re capable of doing something and and not going beyond. For example, when you give your word of honor that you will never lie, you must always keep it because you gave your word of honor. After you give it you can not tell a lie because you gave your word which is like a promise. If you break your word then that can affect you and others because you weren’t being honest and broke it. Be able to keep your word of honor because that truly shows that you are able to accomplish things without even doing anything wrong.

A Promise

“A promise must never be broken”

Alexander Hamilton

    This quote means that once you promise to keep a promise, it is then to never be broken. Promises are a big deal because people are able to trust and rely on you and you know that you will always be there for them. When you break a promise you show that you are a fake and untrustworthy person. Promises are to never be broken because it could affect the people around you and it is not easy to forgive someone who they trusted and ended turning their back on them. Keeping a promise could be hard though because it depends on whether it is something very hard to hide if it’s wrong or right. For example, when you promise your friend that you were going to go with them to a school event with, you should be a responsible friend and go with them and keep your promise because once you promise to do something you have to do it. If you don’t keep the promise and leave your friend hanging then, that makes you a person that they know they can’t count on. Always keep your promises because that shows how true you are and it shows others that they can always count on you no matter what.
