Class Evaluation
1. Some things I liked about this class were when we would work on our Microsoft Xcel worksheet because I learned many new things about Xcel that I didn't know before. I also liked the CTR card checks because it was fun seeing who had them and who didn't and if we did we would get rewarded. Also the CTR videos we would see.
2. Some things I did not like about this class is that we didn't really explore more programs for the computer.
3. What I recommend for this class is to explore more programs so students can learn more about them.
4. I highlight for me in this class would be the videos we would watch about people choosing the right. They were very interesting to watch.
5. I feel like I did my best in this class in everything except the journals because I kind off got behind a bit , but then I caught up.
6. yes, I try to read my life planning goals each day and when I skip a day I make up for it the next day and I do the double amount of time.
7. Yes I am committed to being a CTR person because I learned what could happen to me if I CTW and I've heard about the consequences.
8. What I learned about this class that I am looking forward to telling other students who unfortunately haven't taken this class yet would be the importance of CTR and how your decisions determine where you are going to end up, therefore you have to be careful.
9. What I will always remember about this class is going to be to always CTR, and about how many people CTW and the consequences they had to face.

“You will go far with CTR”

                            ~Mr. Haymore

This is a very outstanding quote by Mr. Haymore. What this quote means is that when you CTR you will go really far in life. All your hard work and dedication will finally pay off. When you CTR you will continue to grow and grow as a person. You will grow straight above, like a palm tree. If you CTW you will not grow straight up. You are going to curve and go down. Steph curry continues to grow up and straight above. While the other guy, James on was growing up but then he CTW and now he's going no where. You can be the best player but if you CTW it isn't going to matter how good you are. If you CTW it can change your whole life completely just ask Jameson. You can go from being the most known person to a nobody. If you chose the right you will escalate your way to the top and be the most known and skilled person. It only takes one wrong/bad decision to fall all the way to the bottom and never be able to get back up. If you are having trouble making a decision, chose the right one because you will never regret CTR.

    The ultimate choice

Of all the choices you will ever make, one choice supersedes all others- the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make the correct decision for the remainder of your life. This one choice, The ultimate choice, is your keystone for being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will affect you for good more than any other choice.

The ultimate choice is :

To be a CTR Person- to always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7 !!!!!

                                                          ~Mr. Haymore

This is an excellent quote my Mr. Haymore. What I think this quote means is that the best decision you could ever make is to be a CTR person. Being a CTR person will make your life easier. It will guide you to the right path. It will make, making decisions way easier. If you are a CTR person you won’t have to worry about making a wrong decision because when you CTR you are never wrong. CTR will make you a better person each day. If you CTR good things will happen to you. You will get rewarded for your good deeds. You will feel so much better about yourself.

The Harmful Effects of Tobacco

Smoking is very dangerous. Smoking damages your lungs and can eventually cause lung disease or even lung cancer. Breathing tobacco smoke can change your blood chemistry and damage your blood vessels. Your blood pressure and heart rate go up when smoking. 15.7% of teens smoke in the united states. We can help promote non smoking by making many gatherings and informing people about the harmful effects of smoking. We can also pass out flyers. I promise never to use tobacco product.

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

What this means is that if everyone in the world has a good character then the world will be a better place. The world would have harmony. The would would be full of peace. The problem is that not everyone has good character in this planet. Some people are too selfish and only think about themselves. They only care about themselves and not about others. Hopefully one day all those people with excellent characters can help those with not so good character. Everyone in this world was born with a good character. But many people were taught to have not such a good character. Hopefully one day we can make this world a better place.

Challenges Teens Face Today

Several Main challenges teens face today are Drugs, Study pressure, pressure in a relationship, needing to look good, depression,addiction to social network, eating disorders, and keeping their grades up. A  major challenges I am dealing with today would be trying to balance out school and soccer. To try to overcome this challenge I try to finish all my hw in class and whatever I have left I do it at home after practice. It would also be grades because if I slack off a little it will go down. Being a CTR person has helped me overcome any challenges i might face because I mostly am able to identify which is the right decision to make. Also it helps me not slack off and stay on top of my game. I can help other teens overcome challenges by advising them by strategies and what i do in order to overcome a challenge.

Malik Stewart & Roman Chapa

These 2 stories are some great example of what we should do and what we shouldn’t. Malik Stewart teaches us how in life you aren’t always going to win, and when you lose you have to know how to be a good loser. He teaches us good values. When Malik last the fight he went to go hug the winners dad. The winners dad was fighting cancer and malik knew what he was going through because he went through the similar thing with his dad. His dad was suffering from heart attacks so he knew what it felt like to want to make that special person proud. Roman Chapa is an example we shouldn't follow. He is a cheater who would cheat in horse races. He would electrocute his horse so he can go faster. He won that race but was caught. This is something we shouldn't do. It is better to fail with honor than win by cheating. After all , if you fail with honor you are still a winner.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

                                                             ~Sophocles

This is an excellent quote by Sophocles. This quote means that it's better to lose the game fair and square. It’s better to know that you gave it your all and still lost because at least you feel proud of yourself. If you win by cheating then you will feel bad about yourself. You are going to feel disappointed in yourself. In life when you cheat , you are only cheating yourself. You are the only person you are harming. If you win and you win fairly then you will feel really good about yourself. Cheaters never win, and when they are caught they get even more consequences. For example if you cheat on a test and get an A but then you get caught, you will have even more consequences as if you would have not cheated but passed the test.

               Memorial Day

Memorial day is a day where we honor and remember those who have died in active military service.  Memorial day falls on Monday, May 30. Some ways to show honor and respect on memorial day are to make a thank you letter for a soldier. Also you can show honor and respect by visiting a local veterans cemetery , or war memorial. You can also visit and take cookies to a nearby Veterans hospital. These are all many ways to celebrate veterans day. On memorial day I will enjoy my freedom by spending time with my family.  I will also maybe go to the cemetery. I think memorial day is a great holiday. We should truly take our time to celebrate this holiday because many people have died for us to be where we are at now.

Eight great reasons to tell the truth

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There is a less chance of misunderstanding , confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don't have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain reputation for being truthful- a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside.

These here are some excellent reasons to tell the truth. Telling the truth is much more simpler than telling a lie. When you lie it gets you into another and another lie. A lie is very hard to keep and will eventually come out. The truth always comes out. If you tell the truth you might get in trouble but if you lie the consequences will be 10 times worse.

Money always comes and goes. It is better to be poor and do what you truly want to do, than to be rich doing something you hate doing. Not everything's about money, you are not rich until you have something money can’t buy. He also says that you have to work hard. If you work hard for your dreams soon , some day they will come true it all depends on how hard you work for them. He also says that if you do good, good things will come to you.

World Records

There are many world records out there. Each year more and more people all over the world set new records. The guinness book of world records is a book that contains records set by people. Some of the records are

• The oldest living women which passed away at 116 years old. Her name was Susannah Mushatta Jones and was from the USA.
• The oldest cat living name scooter which is 30 years old.
• California’s based candy company creates largest taffy candy in the world. Weighing 237.68 kg (524 lb).

 

My favorite world record was the longest living person because you don't know when your last day on earth is going to be and it is pretty cool to live up to be that old Especially when you don't know what the future might hold. I would like to break a record. I would like to beat the record of the longest time hula hooping because i can last a pretty long time. Last time i lasted was 15 minutes non stop.
