Student Success Statement

“You will go far with CTR.”

Mr. Haymore

This quote by you is so important. This quote is something that students should always know and be aware of. I think it's a very truthful quote. I say this because if you choose the right, you will come a long way.  You will be successful. CTR opens the doors to success and good.  Choosing the right will always bring back to you eventually. Little by little you will grow. Choosing the right can never go wrong. By being a person who CTR you will have good character, love, support, a great future, and most of all your hard work will always pay off. An example is the Curry’s. One curry all his high school life set records, he was amazing, he was valued, but he was not CTR. After all thus, where is he now? Who knows about him? Did he make it big? The answers are I don’t know, nobody, & no. Those answers came from CTW. He was CTW not CTR and because of that now he has nothing he dreamed for. Now the other Curry, did he set records? Was he known in high school? Only by his friends and family and no he did not but one thing he always did was CTR. His amazing choice of being a CTR person and making CTR choices payed off in the end. He now has a beautiful family, a good record, has been the MVP not once but twice, he got what he dream for, he became pro. He did this by being CTR and choosing the right. Choosing the right opened door for him and gave him what he deserved for always being CTR. He got rewarded in the best way all because he chose the right. Choosing the right will indeed take you a long way.

Class Evaluation

To begin with this was a very cool class. I enjoyed this class because I got to learn very important things. I liked the daily student success statements you gave us. I liked those because they taught me some valuable life lessons. You would always do an excellent job at choosing amazing quote and you never made them boring. Another very important thing I liked was our Life Planning Goals Journal. I really liked that because that journal is filled with many of my goals I have and have not accomplished yet. It is so helpful; and beneficial to me.

Although there were many highlights of this class there was also things I didn't like. I didn't like how we only coded for a little, I say this because coding is very important and something that will for sure come in handy in the future. Another thing I did not enjoy was the vocabulary. I didn't enjoy it because in my opinion it was a waste of time. None of us really took the time to look over them every day to memorize although I did try. The vocabulary was not my favorite also because it wasn't a challenge. It wasn't something i got to look for etc. I didn't like that it was just copy and paste then we did nothing with them.

Ways to improve this class in my opinion is a bit of more group projects. Although we did have like 3 or 4 I would have loved to work with my peers to do more. I would have loved for you to assign us a challenge and using only technology we had to figure it out. We had to get a solution using what we have. Also I do not recommend the computer science vocabulary because personally I didn't get anything out of it. At least not yet.

A for me in this class was the coding. I enjoyed the coding so much because it is something i'm really into. My goal is to finish the whole coding chapter and go into finding out more. Another highlight was the magic 8-ball. I think this believe this because not only did i get to challenge myself i got to learn from my mistakes. Although i'm not not 100% sure I did it right, I really tried my absolute best on it.

I strongly believe I did try my best in this class. I say this because I always made sure to try and maintain my A. Although right now I have a B it's because I was absent a couple of times. I don't like seeing B’s in my report card so in my goals journal there was a goal to always maintain A’s. I always made sure to write down everything i thought of a quote and include everything you asked for as well. Another thing is I always made sure to carry my CTR card with me and I even got an extra one to give to my friends. I always tried to be a CTR person in and out the classroom. Lastly I would always do  my work.

I am reading my goals journals daily. I also always make sure to write in it at home, (I have a reminder on for everyday that says to write in my journal on my phone.) When I read them and I notice I have completed or met a goal I get this satisfaction I can't explain. I look forward to completing all my goals in that journal. Even after this school year is over, I will make sure to continue and write in my journal because it is very valuable to me.

I am committed to becoming a CTR person. I am committed because being CTR is so beneficial to you and others around you. When you are CTR many doors open in a blink of an eye because that's when you become a role model. You become a role model when you are CTR because you have a good character. Having a good character is so important because if you are there for people, people are always going to be there for you no matter what. When you are CTR you learn to always make good choices. You learn to always be the bigger person because sometimes in life you may give but not get. That is fine though because in the end you'll have the bigger reward and not one bit of what if left in you. You will have a good clean conscious.  

Thank you Mr. Haymore. For teaching me such important things. Thanks for showing me what CTR is & introducing me to a life planning goals journal.

“THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is to be a CTR Person - to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7!!!”

Mr. Haymore

This quote is very important. Anyone in this world can relate to this quote no matter who it is you are and how you are. This quote is very powerful. This quote will show your beautiful character. The first best choice you can ever make for yourself is choosing the right; becoming a CTR person. When you choose to do so the world will change for the better, doors will open up for you you will learn what self love is really be about. You will be rewarded in the best way and that is by receiving love and care from others. Choosing the right comes with many challenges that will try to get to you to do what's wrong but if you try, try hard enough, anything is possible. Reach for the stars, that way if you fall the clouds will be there to catch you. An example of choosing the right is say you see a paper.  A plastic wrapper just laying there and you have two choices. 1. Go pick it up and carry it till you see a trash can or 2. Leave it there, as you never saw it to be taken to the ocean and possibly killing an animal. If you are CTR you will choose the 1st one without a doubt because it's the right thing to do. Being CTR examples are; Not cheating, helping, telling the truth, helping, spreading peace and love and most of all showing amazing character. Good character is a major part of choosing the right.

Name:

The topic I chose was Pride.

Why did I choose this topic?:

I chose this topic or this even because it's a big event. I chose it because it is very important to some people and to their people it is there freedom.

Description:

(Pride parades for the LGBT community are events celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender culture and pride. The events also at times serve as demonstrations for legal rights such as same-sex marriage.)

Pride is a parade, march an event in which people who are gay, lesbian, queer, trans, and straight etc come together to support the LGBT committee. This even is very important to them. I strongly believe that everyone needs to show respect no matter what it is your beliefs are. I think so because coming out “the closet” is a big deal and we don't know how hard it can be for someone to do so. I also think that pride is amazing because it's a safe space for all the people there. People who are a part of the LGBT are strong and amazing people. They are making a change in the world and they are helping lots of people going through the same thing. I also believe Pride is good because you get to see many cool things. I have attended a march and it was amazing. Love always wins. Pride shows you that no matter who you are you will always be accepted because it's who you are and even though there is people who will not accept the good people who do out win the bad. At pride people get to meet other, make new friends, learn new things, and you get to dance and sing and have an amazing time. In my opinion pride is very important. At this event you can meet famous people who support the LGBT community and you can meet other famous people who are apart of the LGBT community. A famous trans person is Gigi Gorgeous. She is a role model to most people apart of this LGBT community.

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

 

Everything this quote mentions is very important in my opinion. It is stating that everything starts from character. Character comes from us, the people. If we want peace, we are the first step. If we have a negative attitude, only we (ourselves) have the power to change it and have peace within ourselves to later spread it and share it with the world. An example is having good character (being respectful, helpful and or caring, etc) will bring harmony to your home after you guys as a family have harmony, you will spread it and the nation will have order. If our nation has order there will be peace over all. Basically it is saying how peace all starts from character and how character comes from you. Us a people we have the power to spread what we want to the world to all the younger generations and to teach the older ones. If you really want peace you must learn to value your character and always have and show beautiful character. Dont scream, fight, cheat, smoke, etc because that will only cause hate within yourself and you will not have peace. If you don't have peace you will spread that negative energy and that will affect the world. Choosing the right being a ctr comes with good character if you are CTR you will have peace within yourself.

"A man without a goal, is like a ship without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle

        This quote means that without a goal you won't know what you want or where you will end up. Without a set of goals you will be lost, like a ship has no purpose without a rudder. In this case it shows how important goals are and rudders are. Without one you'll be lost and have nowhere to go and nothing to do. For example without goals we will not have nothing to do, nothing to look forward to and most of all we won't find our purpose. Now if you have a rudder you will go somewhere and you will get there. This quote can get interpreted in many ways and can be used in many different situations. When you have a goal you'll find what you wanted. You'll get everything you've ever worked for. Without a goal(s) it will be hard. Something that helps us is our Goals Journals. Our goals journals are our rudder and without it most of us in this class room would be lost. Goals will help you do something big. A rudder and goals come hand in hand and they both are very important. Goals are a must in one's life to have a successful future. 

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend I did a lot of preparing for my 15. On friday I went to eat with Allison then went home. On Saturday I went out with my parents and bought things I needed. We went to go cut my hair at the beauty salon later to the hall where my 15 party is going to take place. We tried foods to see what I wanted to give out to eat and then we tried desserts. I met other girls who are going to have a 15 and we really bonded on how stressful party planning is. On sunday I had movie night with the fam and we also had a barbecue. They cooked some food then we began watching movies in my house livingroom. Also on Sunday and the first half of Monday I did homework. I wrote my 10 paragraph essay, (4 pages) for english and then got some rest. Another thing that happened this weekend was 2 very important games 1 of chivas the other one of mexico took place. My whole family was excited to see them and we did. I also got some things over with and now to wait for this weekend to do some more preparing. This a good weekend and i was happy i got spend it with my family.

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

Alan Paton

Forgiveness is very important. When you forgive you open yourself to the process of healing. In order for one to heal or recover or what ever else you may call it you MUST first forgive. You will grow and you will help others around you grow and heal too. Forgiveness, 11 simple letters, 1 word, a very hard action. Forgiving is very hard to do because you always want to hang on to revenge, or you will always be out to hurt the person who hurt you. Thats dumb though, there is such thing as karma that will get back 10x worse and if you don't forgive, let something go you'll just make yourself miserable. A great example of forgiveness was the one  you gave in class. It shows how she forgave the man and they both grew as people, they both got good outcome from it, most importantly they both forgave and had peace. If she wouldn't have forgiven him, they wouldn't have been able to grow, would probably hate themselves, would be depressed etc. But she forgave and now they get to help others from committing the mistake he made. They got a positive outcome of a negative situation. You forgive and you grow, let it go, but you never forget. Everything happens for a reason and no matter what everyone has a purpose in this world.

“Dare to do right”

Rex D. Pinegar

This quote coming from Rex is very powerful. 3 simple words but a huge important meaning behind them. Nobody EVER needs to prove something wrong to anyone to be cool or for things to seem right. If it doesn't look right or feel right 100% then it’s not right. This quote is daring us to live with choosing the right instead of wrong. There will always be that friend that dares you to do something that is wrong. They can say things  such as “let's ditch”, “hit the blunt”, “drink alcohol”, “lie to them” etc. But one should always have the courage to say “NO” and stand up for doing what's right. At the end of them day the bad dare will only affect you the most. It will show you are weak and not strong nor cool nor brave. Why? Because you have no authority in what is you believe. This wrong dare will impact you and the ones you love around you the most. Good dares will help you grow and show good character.  Living by this dare is very important because in order to succeed you mustn always choose the right.

“If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how to, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed.”

Dan Dierdorf

To me what this quote means is when you do good and you push yourself to get what you want you will be successful. Always have goals and set realistic one, so you can accomplish them. This quote also says that when you push yourself to have more than one goal and push yourself even more to accomplish them them then you will. You will because everything will “fall into line.”Doing what's right is always important. When you think of right you think of CTR and when you think of CTR you think of a CTR person; when you are a CTR person you always do good and make the right choices no matter what and that is extremely important if you want to be successful. An example is when we write in our goals journals we set realistic goals and as we continue adding on we continue accomplishing other ones. That is making us grow and as we grow we are becoming successful. Another thing is that as you accomplish one goal it becomes easier to keep on going and accomplishing other ones. This is a very important quote. Always set goals, make them happen, and then you’ll see success come your ways.

Phillip Riggs’ Four success Tips

1. Work hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don't chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come back to you.

To me, the first statement means never give up and always try. When you try hard enough and work hard enough to get to a goal you will complete it. Working hard is important because it shows you are and you want something. Number two to me means that when you do what you love you will be happy. See if you find what you love and you do it for a living, you'll never really get bored because it's what you love. When you go for things you love to do or are interesting you will be successful. Now. number three to me means that money is a materialistic thing. Would you rather be genualy happy and have love or miserable with all  the money in the world, alone? I would rather be broke and happy than rich and miserable. $Money$ doesn't buy you happiness. Lastly, what that is basically saying is what goes around comes around. Karma is a thing. You do good, you get good back. You do bad, you get bad back. You get what you give and that's final. I therefore think these tips are very helpful and 100% true.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

Dennis Prager

         This quote means that you shall always treasure how you are are. Good values include good character, and most of all choosing whats right. I believe this quote is true. One will get criticised based on how they are and how they are includes their values. If you have good values, you are a ctr person. An example of a good value is when you didn't study and its so easy to cheat, but your good value tells you thats not right and you don't do it. Having good values opens up doors. They open up doors because you are showing amazing character. You are showing that you are loyal, keep your word of honor, a CTR person, and respectful as well as self respect.  Using or having good values will always lead one to doing what is right.This is a very important quote because good values are a must for a successful living.  Now, if you choose to have bad values, values that are not good you will affect yourself. Bad values will backfire and you will be seen as a CTW person instead of a CTR one.
