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.

"They're only truly great who are truly good." 

Goodness = Greatness

George Chapman

             I agree with is quote. I think that this quote is a very powerful one. When one is good, one is great. But if one is bad one will not be seen as great. One can not be great unless they are good. To begin with if one is a great person, everything in life will go good, making being a great person important. Say there is two athletes. One is truly great and doesn't cheat he does everything the way he is supposed to and then the second athlete is a CTW person and used steroids to cheat. In the future The one that showed he was great will have a good future while the one that was not so great will have a bad future. Being a great person is being truthful to who you are and to others. You will have a good future if you start by taking baby steps that prove you are great that will then lead you on to be truly good. If people live by George Chapman's quote they will have a very good future and career. Goodness in deed does determine greatness. First one has to be great in order to be good. Being a CTR person will only be the start to being truly great. After you will be a truly good person
