Class Evaluation

Things I like about this class include my peers. I also like the fact that we use computers instead of writing because writing gets tiring and my peers make me feel safe. Another thing I enjoy about this class is that its CTR and we get to learn new things by doing research.

What I dislike about this class is the fact that you gave the CTR project to only some classes and not all. In a way its not fair but you're the teacher after all. Other than that this is a good class. 

My recommendations about improving the class is a bit more time to complete our work because sometimes its a little bit of time and sometimes I fall behind. Also you should choose one day of the month to let us sit were ever we like.

The highlight for this class was that say that we learned a lot about you. We asked you questions and you answered them all. It was cool knowing what you were into and getting to know you a little better. 

Yes I did do my best in this class. When it came to the SSS I would put all my thoughts into my work. I would express what I truthfully felt about the statement and also for our research ones I actually did my research and always made sure to paraphrase it. 

Yes I am reading my life planning journal. At home I make sure to write in it and to challenge my self because I am challenge ready. Another thing is that I have actually completed some short term goals. I completed on getting straight A's , getting a A for bio med., etc.

Now I am committed to being a CTR person 24/7. I believe that I am committed now because it is very important. Being a CTR person helps one think before they act and that is very important. All actions have consequences that can be seen as good or as bad.

HONESTY

You better believe it

There was medical students taking a test one day and during that time most of them started pulling out cheat sheets from their pockets, shirts, etc. One guy in that class saw and stood up for it. He said that he hadn't come all this way to take this test and then find out classmates were cheating, and if he saw one cheating he would call them out for it. Soon after everyone began putting their cheat sheets away. Because this man set a high standard for everyone in that room it turned out to be the highest  Medical graduating class in history. The other incident was two high school friend were taking a test and one asked the other for the answer to the question. The other one thought about i and said no. he friend seemed a bit disappointed but didn't push her for more. These are great examples of always being honest. Doing something in a honest way with no lies and no cheating will feel way better than using that. By doing that you won't be hurting or playing nobody but yourself. Maybe you will be the only one to ever know you lied but that is enough guilt to live with forever with yourself. Telling lies is not right it's will never be right.

“When you Tell One Lie, it leads to Another”

Paul Hatch

I believe this quote its true. Once you lie it's hard to go back. When you lie you see how easy it is too continue lying and getting away with it but it's so hard to stop and say the true. The more you lie and neglect the fact that you are telling a lie will close many doors. I believe this because after you lie whether it's big or small a lie is a lie and it can hurt others around you not only yourself. Telling a lie is being selfish. When you tell a lie people will start believing you lots and then if they find out all along it was a lie they will be hurt. They will feel betrayed and that's not good because word will get around of what you did and eventually no one will trust you. Having no trust from nobody is bad because almost everything you do relies on trust. Example: your mom is trusting you to clean the house, you lie and say your sick , she'll get worried and take you to the doctor. After the doctor will say something like he seems fine nothing is wrong you'll get caught. Unless you tell another lie and make it worse. Telling lies is choosing the wrong. You could have avoided all that by just saying the truth and choosing the right and being honest on why you didn't clean it. It's better to get in trouble over saying the truth than saying a lie.One must always tell the truth and not lie because it can be really hard to get someones trust back and it can really hurt both.

The Sting of the Scorpion

Elder Patrick Kearon of the Seventh

One day when they were in the desert, he was gonna go explore. His parents had always told him to wear shoes because they would help with better protection when it came too snakes. Scorpions etc. One day he go up and wanted to go explore. He didn't feel like putting his shoes but he knew it was the right thing to do, he disobeyed anyways. He went along and put his sandals and thought “they are like shoes after all.” he was wrong. A couple minutes into exploring he says he felt a sting that felt like a thorn he looked down and his surprise was that he saw a scorpion. A scorpion had bit him! The pain ruched up to his leg and he sat down and started calling for help. His parents rushed over to him and saw what had happened, they quickly loaded the car and began their drive to the hospital near by which was 2 hrs. away. When they got to the doctor they said it wasn't that bad and numbed his leg so he wouldn't feel pain. After that he said he learned his lesson. What he learned was to obey and do what's right even if you don't feel like it. What i learned was to always listen to what other tell you it because they tell you it for a reason, especially if they are older. We must always do what's right, even if we don't “feel like it” because either way, its what's right.

"Always do right."

Mark Twain

         I Believe that this quote has the three most important words. I think this because by always doing right you will get the best work. If you do right you will succeed. You never choose to do wrong because that will just backfire and will not let you succeed. Doing whats wrong will make you a bad person. Choosing the right will make you a good one because being CTR person helps you think before you act. Example is you hear some rumor from someone. You must choose the right and just keep it to yours self. Not whats wrong and go ahead and keep spreading it. Why? because some one can be really hurt by you doing so. Ones actions dont only affect us but everyone one around us as well. The choices we make today will affect us tomorrow, everything we do will always come around weather its good or bad and you like it or not. Karma will catch on too all the good and all the bad.  That is why  I agree with this quote, "Always do right."

"Its better to be alone than to be in bad company."

Unknown                 

I think this quote means if no one wants to follow its is okay. If you are alone but its the better way of you learning it is okay. I think this because if people want to influence you to do bad things that's not okay. I your so called friends do that they are not really your friends. Even though you see all them doing it, it doesn't mean its good it actually means that they are dumb. But you must prove you are smart and better than that by always making sure to choose the right. You must stay committed to being a CTR person 24/7 no matter what. You must think of all your consequences before you act on something. If you are studding and your friends hit you up to go party but you know you need to study and stay home so you do, you will have a better chance of passing at test etc. now if you choose the wrong you may fail that test and then it can affect your grade, it can affect your chances of getting credit etc. it can have a very bad impact on your life that's why i agree with this quote to be alone and have a bright future than in bad company with a not so bright future.                                                                                                 

World War 2

      World War 2  began on September 1, 1993 and went on till September 2, 1945. The countries involved in this war include; Axis Powers, Germany, Italy and Japan. On the other side were the Allies. They included Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, China and the United States of America. World war 2 did not occur in one specific place, instead it took place all across the globe. Most action took place in Europe, East Asia, and islands in the Pacific Ocean, but others were seen in places as far away as Madagascar and the Aleutian Islands. Poland, China, Russia, and Germany saw their territories directly involved in war and suffered terribly, although the united states and Canada helped by sending soldiers to fight, the country in general didn't get to see much action. Things that took place during the war include:

• Pearl Harbor bombing by Japan on December 7, 1941 (japan attacked the US naval base at pearl harbor. They attacked in 2 waves. First to knock out ships and airfields and second to finish of what was left.)
• Germany attacks the USSR opening Eastern front on June 22, 1941 (Hitler sent three armies into Russia to the north, east, and south. Hitler would not let his men surrender, and most of them died during the brutal winter and from starvation and disease. 91,000 men surrendered to the USSR in 1943, but only 5,000 would return to Germany because of this attack it  led to the opening of the eastern front of the war.)
• Atomic Bomb Dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Three Days Later on  August 6, 1945                  (US pilots dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The USSR declared war on Japan three days later, and the US dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki. Causing the Japanese to surrender.)
• Bataan Death March and Japan takes Philippines April 9, 1942 (Japanese took Philippines and most US forces surrendered.  Japan forced US troops to march 55 miles and more than 7,000 died.)

         We can honor and show respect by donating to  USO. Also we can speak up and learn more about them. If there is a memorial go  visit one to show support to all the fallen soldiers. Lastly a simple thank you would be nice.

Challenges Teens Face Today

       Most teens are very smart but when it comes to peer pressure most give in and choose the wrong. During this time, teens go through overwhelming external and internal struggles.Several major challenges teens face today are self esteem, body image depression, drugs, alcohol, under age sex, bullying (cyber), stress, etc. Nowadays a guy wants a pretty skinny, nice figure girls, and on social media people are influenced by girls and they try to be like them. Social media is a big challenge because on it everyone pretends to be someone they aren't.  Something I deal  with are school & stress. Some people expect so much from you they, expect you to be perfect and you try to be it to please them till you're so fed up with it and you stop. You stop and take time to make sure to love yourself because there's no such thing better than self love. Being a CTR person helps because you get to see yourself as a better person. CTR is choosing the right therefore saying you are a CTR person helps because you make sure to think before you act. I can help other teens by talking to them I can help them out if they have a problem and  I know there is something I can do to change.

      The greatest need that teens have is to be loved and to find purpose in life. I believe this because with out having or seeing a purpose in living you find everything boring. By not finding a purpose in life you see everything as bad when in reality it's not. A  teen needs love. A teen needs to learn how to accept them self even if others don't by loving yourself. When you learn to love yourself you won't care what others think or say and they will start seeing you for who you are.

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basics of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

John F. Kennedy

I believe that this quote means that physical fitness isn't only for other to be amazed with what's on the outside rather than what's on the inside. I also think that it means that physical fitness plays an important role in our lives. Being healthy doesn't only mean having a fit body it means having a strong mind, being intelligent and choosing the right. We must always be CTR 24/7. Fitness and intelligence go hand in hand because in the morning it is said to believe that if you eat a good breakfast you are most likely to do better than other who have not when it comes to learning. Not having a breakfast can distract you because you might feel hungry and just be thinking of food on the other hand, if you did have something to eat, you will be ready to learn. Staying healthy includes: not doing drugs, not taking alcohol, staying away from junk food, exercising daily, studding, reading, doing your work and taking care of yourself overall. Your intelligence doesn't only depend on your brain it depends on your health overall. Being fit gives you  a healthy body, a healthy body gives you a strong brain, strong brain, ready to learn, ready to learn, bright future, bright future, happy you.

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

Joseph B. Wirthlin

I think that this quote means being kind is important. Another way of saying it is treat other the way you want to be treated. If you are kind to some one you will get kind things back to yourself but if you are rude or mean you most likely wont. Kindness comes with good karma. If you are kind and do kind thinks you will get kind things back. Now if you are the opposite of kind and are rude and mean etc. you will not get kind things back. You will have bad karma come your way. Being a CTR person is being kind to others. Not being CTR is not caring. Random acts of kindness are very powerful. Being kind only makes the world a better place, nothing more, nothing less. even if its the smallest act of kindness. 

Thanksgiving Week

      This past thanksgiving week was pretty fun besides the three essays that I had due plus a booklet and extra credit. My first two days of break were dedicated to getting my work done. I stayed at home most of the week. On Thursday I went to my bestf house early in the morning. Then I got picked up and  we went to my father's side of the family to spend thanksgiving for a while. Later on that night he drove us to my mom's where we spent the rest of our thanksgiving. After that I went home with my favorite cousin Jessica. We went Black Friday shopping like at 12 then I got home at like 2 and got picked up again by them at 6. We went to different malls and we bought so many things. After that they brought me home and I went to sleep. On Saturday I stayed home and my cousin came over we talked about things then we took a nap. After that nap we watched movies ate junk food. On Sunday I decided  just stayed home alone and go ready to come back to school the day after. On Sunday I also read the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel because I thought we were gonna have a test on it but we did not. The book was interesting because it was actually based on a true story. It also had parts that made you sad but made you think and showed how we really shouldn't take things for granted and always be thankful for what we have.

“ Manners maketh man. ”

William Wykeham

I agree with this quote by William. I believe that this quote is true because if you have good manners people think of you ass a good person. If you have manners you have good character. If you have manners others look up to you and you are a positive role model. By having manners people will trust you they will see you as a responsible person. Now if you show that you don't have manners people will see you ass the negative role model. Manners include you saying hi, thank you, please, how was your day, etc. An example of having manners is someone gives you something and you say thank you. Saying thank you is very important. If you say thanks you you will make others feel better and you will be liked by them. Now if you are given something and you just take it without giving thanks the person that gave you it can start doubting them self. They may find it rude and you will come of as a bad person even if you weren't meaning to.

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true don't say it"

Marcus Aurelius

This quote implies that you must always be honest no matter what. I think it means this because you don't go spreading lies or doing bad things. It can also mean that having a good character is important because you think for yourself. An example of "If it is not right, do not do it;" is if everyone is smoking and they invite you to hit the blunt too but you know it's wrong. You don't do it! Why?!?!?!?! because you can get into serious trouble. If you do do it you are not having good character you are not choosing the right. Now if you don't do it you are being CTR.  Now for the "If it is not true do not say it." An example of this is if someone tells you something about someone else and you don't know if it's true or not you don't go around spreading the rumor and telling others. It's not right you keep your mouth shut and be honest. You choose the right by being honest and by making sure you have good character. You don't do things you know are bad, you choose the right 24/7, make sure you have a good character, and you are honest.

Thanksgiving & Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day is on November 24. It is the day where you celebrate by giving thanks and  show you are thankful for what you have etc. The first thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the new world.They did it to give thanks the Native Americans for helping them out. It has been celebrated as a federal holiday since 1863 when American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dweller in the Heavens". Thanksgiving is on the last Thursday of the month of November. On this day people usually take the chance to go with family and get together eat all the good food and show them you care and that you are thankful for having them. Most common foods eaten on this day are Turkey, Ham, Mashed Potatoes with gravy, etc. Other than the United States thanksgiving is celebrated in Canada. Some people before eating give thanks to god for putting food on their plate and that he continues helping them out as a family.

I am thankful for:

1. Having a family
2. Being healthy
3. Being able to go to school
4. Getting the help I need at school
5. Having people who care and love me
6. Being able to have a home to go to everyday
7. Having food
8. Getting a good education
9. Having good friends
10. For having a best friend who cares
11. That I have a life
12. For everything I have and own

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

Chick Moorman

This quote means that when you do what's right you will be a winner no matter what. If you are trying to get a job but someone else gets it, but they cheated and you didn't you are still a winner. You are a winner because they cheated and you were 100% honest. The cheater will have guilt. They will not feel good about cheating. On the other hand you will feel good even though you didn't get it because you were a CTR person. Being a CTR person no matter what will automatically make you a winner. Even though you didn't win the job you choosing the right and not cheating dose. Unlike them they cheated and they might not know how to do thing, or they lied. They will eventually get the bad karma back and they will become total losers. Even more of what they already are. You will get good karma for doing the right and you will be even more of a winner. Choosing the right is very important. Being a CTR person will always make you a winner no matter the situation!

Why is it important to honor on Veterans Day? :

Special Interest & Reflection :

A special interest that takes place on veterans day is how going to a VA hospital is showing respect. Helping them out is cool because being able to help them is fun You get to give a little back. Even though it might be something little to you it can mean a lot to the. I feel like veterans day is very important. I also feel like this day should not only be a one day thing we should be nice to them all the time.

1.Have the courage to say no.

2. Have the courage to face the truth

3. Do the right thing because it is right.

These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity.

I believe these mean that having integrity is very important. I think this because to have integrity you need to follow them. If you wanna be successful and be a CTR person you will do the three listed. You will do them without even thinking twice about them if you really have integrity. Having integrity means being trustworthy that some one can rely on you because you will always be there whether it's to hang out, job interview, practice or to talk etc. You must say no to all the bad things. Ex: they offer you some drugs, you have the courage to say no. You face the truth. Ex: you did something wrong and they ask if it was you, instead of saying it wasn't you say it was and face the truth and maybe even apologize. And lastly, do the right thing because it's right. Your friends are ditching school but you do to school without them because it's the right thing to do.

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

Proverbs 13:20

       I believe that this quote implies that those who are not trying shouldn't be rewarded. I think this because if they don't try they don't deserve it. While other people struggle to get it it's not fair. If you choose the right group you will be successful and if you choose the wrong one you won't be. If you have the right group make sure to not change them for bad ones, because they are helping you. Now if you choose the wrong set of friends your life is just gonna go downhill because they won't help you. They'll just use you till you're completely useless they'll leave you. IF you choose wise friends you will be wise and successful. If you choose the group of non-wise friends you'll be a fool; just like them. Your wise group of friends will help make sure you are a CTR person while the non-wise group of friends will make you/encourage you to choose the wrong. Ex: the wise group will help you study for a test while the non-wise will encourage you to cheat.  

“The best recreation is to do good.”

William Penn

This quote means to always do good. No matter the circumstances you choose the right. By doing good you will be able to re create and feel good about yourself. Now if you do wrong you won't be able too. Say you have a job interview. You're stressed but you end up getting the job. Then you can relax cause you feel goo. If you get it the by doing wrong. You won't be able to recreate and feel good because you did wrong. Always be good and able to recreate.
