Class Evaluation

1.I like this class because it makes you think about life and making the right choices. This class is like a place where you can find the advice to all your questions. I also like that we have the opportunity to learn how to use technology and that we get to share with our classmates. This class gives me insight on the things that are bad and shows me how to turn them good.

2. Somethings that i didn’t like about this class was that it was too quiet at times. In other words there wasn’t much participation from the students. Another thing that i didn’t like was the time limit we had to write things. I wouldn’t have enough time to process my thoughts.

3.Some recommendations i have for this class is to encourage the students on participating. Also giving us at least 5 minutes to discuss the prompt before writing about it.

4.A highlight in this class was getting to know more about the people in here and learning more about my teacher. It showed me how we all can make mistakes and not make them again.

5.yes, i feel like i did the best that i could in this class. I tried hard to answer the prompt but something that i need to work on in this class is my participation and my typing.  I feel like i can do a bit better on both areas and next semester i plan to do so.

6.yes, when i have time at the beginning or at the end of the day i do some thinking. I look at my goals and i plan how am i going to do that. I believe that little by little i’ll reach my destination.

7.yes, i'm committed to being a ctr person. The reason for this is, when you're a better person things tend to go better for you. So being as better person will help me stay away from trouble and bring new opportunities to me.

What i heard and what i saw in the video…

At school:

There was these two girls and they were about to take a test. During the test one of the girls asked the other girl if she could help her or let her copy. The other girl shook her head no and the other girl respected her decision.

At medical school:

So it was a testing day and some of the students have studied while others have not. The teacher passes out the test and then leaves. Once he leaves the students that didn’t study take out their own cheat sheets. Then there was this one guy who spoke up and said that what they were doing was wrong and if they didn’t stop that he was going to tell on them.So they put away the papers and continued there work. A lot of them graduated.

I learned that it’s never good to cheat and that if you set your mind to something you can accomplish it.

“When  you tell one lie, it leads to another.”-Paul Hatch

This means that it’s bad to lie because lying can become a bad habit. In other words lying once will make the possibility of lying twice more probable. It isn’t good to lie because all that lying brings you is more lies and the more lies you have the more trouble you're bound to get into. They say that you can’t get away with anything and it’s true you may think you have but in the end it strikes you in the face. What my point is that you should always be honest but honest the right way. Don’t go all around telling people what you think of them if it’s negative and say that you're just trying to be honest. That’s not honesty because you're hurting them without warning. When you decide to be honest take it easy...find a way to word it so that it isn’t that bad...because in  the end someone will end up getting hurt but not as badly as if you were to lie. An example of this when my brother said leave but he did . It would have been easier for us to accept the fact if he would have been honest with us. It hurts more  when you find out the truth from another person then from the actual person because you realize that they were willing to lie to your face than instead of being honest.

The sting of the scorpion
By patrick kearon

When patrick was small they lived in the peninsula and well his parents told him to put on his shoes. As you can tell in the peninsula there are many dangers that lurk there and that’s why you have to be careful. So young patrick didn’t put on his shoes but some sandals. He thought that his sandals were going to protect him and either way he wasn’t going very far. So as he was walking he got stung by a scorpion and he described the pain as excruciating. He started to call for help...and then his parents came. They took him to the doctor and they said that everything would be okay. They numb his foot so he wouldn’t feel pain. That day he learn to not wear sandals when going to explore and that he should have chosen the right.

A life lesson i learned about this story is that our parents are always right..they are always trying to protect us but we don’t see it like that.

“Always do right.” Mark Twain

Always do right in other words choose the right. In order to do right you must learn how to immediately spot the difference between wrong and right. This semester i have learned something that can help you with this and it’s becoming a ctr person. A ctr person is one that chooses the right without even questioning it. I'm still in a learning process on how to be a ctr person 24/7. So what is right… right is doing things that make you feel good about yourself and amazes other people by your character. To get into the habit of doing right you must first perform a random act of doing right. For example study before a test because it’s the right thing to do. Once you do one right thing it won’t be hard for you to another one. Note that if you do the right things will turn out great for you...So if you’re good, good things will happen. Also just remember that there is a reason why you're doing it. Keep that in mind and pursue greatness. Like how my school says it “your greatness waiting to happen.”

“ it’s better to be alone than in bad company.” unknown

To me this means that sometimes we worry about the wrong things like for instance not having friends but maybe it’s for the best. We have to look at things in a positive way as in maybe things will change. What this quote is trying to say is that if you're going to make friends choose the ones that do you good. Choose the friends that want you to be happy than those who don’t . as you can see it’s better to be alone than with a bad influence that can drag you down with them. For instance having friends that only want to have fun will get you into the habit of only wanting to do fun. What type of friends are those. I rather be a lonely child then have my life turn upside down just so that i can have some  friends. I know it’s hard because you're like the only one with no one to go to but … eventually you’ll find a friend that really is a friend. The best thing that i can say is that when you are looking for a friend make sure to be yourself and trust me you’ll be noticed.

World war II

World war two is remembered every december the 7th, since december 7, 1941.The countries that fought against the united states in world war two were Japan, Italy, and Germany. World war two was a global war so it took place in many locations. Some of these locations are the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean, Europe, and Russia. Listed below are some events that happened during world war two:

• June 22,1941. Germany Invades ussr opening eastern front. In this event the thing that happens is the Hitler sends Germany to attack on Russia. Out of the three armies 91,000 people surrendered and only 5,000 men survived. In the end the result of this war was the opening of the eastern front.
• May 13, 1943. Allies drive Germans out of North America. In this event the british are fighting the germans and italians over the course of 3 years. The U.S. tank defeated the German tank therefore making 240,000 germans and italians surrender.
• June 6, 1944. D-day. This event was when the Polish, Canadian, British, and America tricked Hitler by making a fake invasion in one place while the real invasion was going on somewhere else. They got to successfully invade France and with that they got a “foothold” on Europe.

A way that you can show your respect is by thanking the veterans and if you get the opportunity to talk to them than do. Other things you can do is get a military observance calendar, a pin, or a book on the event.

Challenges teens face today

Some major challenges teens face today are peer pressure, low self esteem, depression, and abuse of drugs and or alcohol. Let’s start with peer pressure it may sound negative but it can also be used in a positive way. What is peer pressure? Well the most common form is that it’s known to be used in a negative way. For example your so called friends peer pressuring you into ditching school or doing things that you aren’t certain about but we sometimes give into peer pressure just because we don’t know how to say no. Low self esteem is another common issue teens have...why? I don’t really know. To me i guess it’s because we're too afraid to be who we are. We underestimate our true potential because of these fears...fears that pull us down with them. Low self esteem can lead to depression. Depression. Feeling sad all the time thinking that there is no hope in the world, that nothing good ever happens. You see the problem these days is that we feel as though the whole world is against us and that there is no one to but there is. Try to be positive. Last but not least drug and alcohol abuse. It’s crazy to think that such young people with there life ahead of them spend their time throwing it away. Then again it all connect to peer pressure and hanging out with the wrong people. So before you do anything set yourself a rule to resist the pressure and think about the consequences it could have. For me two challenges i face today is low self esteem...I don’t have it that low but i would like to have it higher. I also face the challenge of body image and i guess that it contributes to the reason why i have a sort of low self esteem and the lack of confidence,but i’m working on it.Being a ctr person helps because it can help you make the right choices. It can help you stay away from drugs and all the negative peer pressure. Being a ctr person helps you focus on other things rather that the pending problems which make you think less about the wrong and more about the right. We can help teens today by being a supportive friend and staying positive. All we need is a little bit of hope.

REFLECTION: The main challenge we face is staying true to our selves. As a teen we have to face many challenges and it may not be so easy. Just know that it doesn't last forever and that things happen for

a reason. If you ever feel down or need a little boost of encouragement listen to music. I would like to recommend the song Understand by Shawn Mendes it’s a really nice song.

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis 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.” President John F. Kennedy

To me this quote means that if you want to prosper in life one key thing is your health. Many people don’t think about it but what if you made it really far and you aren’t in good health, you won’t be able to enjoy your life. I haven’t really thought about it but now that it has came up i plan to be and stay healthy. Some things that i need to do is exercise more that just 30 minutes. You see exercise is important because it helps you maintain your weight and it also makes you feel good. Exercise is essential to someone's well being and if i want to be healthy then i must exercise. Another thing i can do to improve my health is eat more healthier and try not to stress as much.There are  many things that i can do to improve my health and there are also thing that i can stop doing or not do. In other words something that i should stop doing is waiting for the last minute to do things or saying that i don't have time when in reality i have plenty of time. You see if i want to physically fit i have to get active...i have to make energy from my laziness. So something that i’ll try not to do anymore is waste time. Time is precious and very limited so i should use it and make it worth it. Other things one can do to stay away from harm is to stay away from drugs like smoking and drinking alcohol.

“KINDNESS is the essence of greatness.” Joseph B. Wirthlin

To me this quote means that in order to be a great person you must show kindness. If we were to set the example it would soon be popular to practice it and kindness does make a difference in people. Being kind is showing others that you care for them and in a world like the one we live in we need to be shown that good people still exist. In other words being kind is what people look about in a person. Your personality tells much about you and when your kind all that people see is that your kind. They don't see anything else like your flaws or your mistakes. They think even after everything that has happen to him/her they are still kind.

Thanksgiving week

My thanksgiving break was average, in the sense of fun. I mostly worked at the post partum department at a hospital and got the chance to hang out with my work buddies. That same week i visited my mom’s friend,she makes some pretty good food. Most of the time i was bored with nothing to do. There was this one night that was unique unlike the others. I went outside and laid down to watch the stars. The best part of my break was spending more time with my family. I got to hang out with my sisters more and that’s something that i miss doing. Another remarkable experience i lived through during my break was that on thanksgiving we went to my grandma’s house. There my sister pushed me around the blocks in my grandma’s chair. It was fun because i never did something like it before. In that moment i felt full of life and at some points she would break and i would become terrified. Me and my sister also did something else we watched a movie together. It was a nice night and all we did was laugh but not to loud since it was night. I enjoyed it much and also the moments i got to share with the people i love. So in the end  my break was boring but these moments made them unforgettable.

“ Manners maketh man.” William wykeham

This quote by Mr. Wykeham reminds me of the way my parents raised me. They would always teach me the importance of showing good manners and how to speak properly. To me i think manners make you look more professional and nowadays you can rarely find people with manners. We have forgotten the importance of being polite and showing respect. Just the other day i asked this lady if could open the door for me ,i’m a bit shy so i sort of whispered it. She told me what’s the magic word and i thought she was playing. For a few seconds i stood there shock and then i said please and she opened the door. Saying please is a good manner one must learn. That day made me realize that as long as you be polite you can go a long way. Manners help us be friendly and civil people...haven’t you ever wonder why when you sometimes say thank you the other person doesn’t respond to you, doesn't that feel horrible. Without manners we can tend to be really rude and if you're rude people tend not to like you. And then you feel like the whole world is against you but in reality you bought yourself upon this.So remember always be polite and set that example you’ll suprise yourself and others around. Manners are great so express them.

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.” Marcus aurelius

To me this quote means that don’t get yourself into problems because you want to be all up into somebody’s business. That’s what the first part of this quote tells me. In other words don’t decide to do something bad just because you want to fit in or because you may think it’ll be fun. We must learn that our actions have consequences. We must learn that what we do can turn on us and affect us at any moment. For instance say you sold something. You may think no harm done right, well wrong. Eventually the truth comes out and when it does the consequences aren’t that pretty. So just be on your best behavior and if what you're doing isn’t good or right then don’t do it at all. Stick to your rules and resist the pressure. The second part of this quote tell me that don’t spread around rumors. If you don’t know what happened is better to keep your mouth shut. Talking and contributing when you don’t know what’s going on can have many negative effects. An example of this would be telling someone you know what someone else said about he/she. The person would investigate and if what you said and the person said she said doesn’t match they may believe the person is lying to her. This may start a fight and guess who would be in trouble for it. That’s right you for opening your mouth and telling what you thought you heard.In conclusion the best advice i can get from this is that if your not involved in something stay out of it for you may be the one who comes out affected by it.

Thanksgiving and thanksgiving day

Thanksgiving what a marvelous holiday it is celebrated on the fourth thursday of november because of president Franklin D. Roosevelt . Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday from the last thursday of november to the fourth thursday of november in December 26,1941. It has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789 since George
Washington made a proclamation about it. Thanksgiving became a federal holiday since 1863 during the civil war when abraham lincoln made a proclamation stating that it was to give thanks to the heavens for all that it has brought...in other words to be thankful. The first thanksgiving ever is said to have taken place in 1621 when the plymouth settlers sat down and enjoyed a fall feast after a successful harvest. They ate things that are now common on thanksgiving day with the fellow Wampanoag indians. All though it wasn’t planned to be a yearly thing, when the pilgrims came from England to America it soon did.

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

To me this means that as long as you play fair everything will turn out to have a positive outcome. In other words playing fair has it’s perks in the end...you’ll win and have pride or loose knowing that you tried your best. This quote tells me that not always will we win and succeed in things. We can’t always get our ways and win but what we can do is accept that it didn’t work out and maybe next time it will be different. We must learn that there will be times when we will lose and it will be hard for us to accept it but it’s the right thing to do and the only choice we have. I remember once in the third grade entering a spelling bee. Let’s just say that i didn’t win. The hardest part wasn’t losing but accepting it, accepting that it was a fair game and that anyone had the chance to win. In life we are destine to do great things and the greatest thing you can ever do is learn from the things you do wrong and choose to do the right. So next time you're playing in a game make sure to play fair no matter what the outcome may be. Most importantly if you want to win try hard and put your effort into it… that’s the right way to win.

Student success statement

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 three magic keys to living your life with integrity.” - W. Clement Stone

To me, this quote meaning is to tell us to stay true to ourselves and who we are. That's why Mr. Stone states that as long as you have these three keys you’ll be okay in life. In other words as long as you follow the three simple rules he stated you are bound to stay true to yourself and that is one thing we always try to do. Growing up can lead to many obstacles and decisions where you are challenged to stand up to what’s right . taking the advice from Mr. Stone will help you become a better person  in life. Having the courage to say no, well that can be challenging especially if you're saying no to someone that’s very close to you. If we want to stay true to ourselves and show integrity we must learn the ways of how to use courage to back up what we believe is right. Saying no, telling the truth,and doing what’s right can all lead us to a better life of integrity.  It’s not difficult to follow these little steps it just may feel a little funny getting use to them. As long as you try you are bound to learn them and when you succeed,you’ll be one step closer into becoming a better person. An example of this would be not telling a lie. Next time you do something bad apologize for your mistake and promise to not do it again. If you keep practicing this habit it will be  easy for you to follow it.

"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." - Proverbs 13:20
To me this reminds me of the types of friendships you can have. There can be good ones that can bring great things. And there can be bad ones that can bring bad things.It's like you get what you choose in some sense. This reminds me of middle school the first week back to school everything was new and it was time to make a choice. When it comes to making new friends in a different place it really does challenge you. It's hard sometimes to choose the right group of friends because you may think there nice but in the end they were bad desguised as good. So what I'm trying to say is that when your choosing your friends think about it first. Think about how life would be when they are invoved in it.  Overall friends are suppose to be there for you and help you when you doubt yourself.We sometimes make mistakes when we choose these influences but as long as you learn not to make them again you'll be okay. So choose your friends so that they have a positive impact on you instead of a negative one.An example of this would be in middle school i chose the right friends. I know this because they always helped me and encouraged me to do great. If i would have chosen bad friends then i wouldn't have the support i had and i don't know what i would have turn out to be.

“The best recreation is to do good.”-William Penn

For starter what does it mean to recreated...to me it means to become better at doing something or to improve yourself as a person.In this quote by William Penn the message i recieve is that in order to become a better person you must learn ho w to recreate yourself. To me this means to try your best in everything and if you make a mistake just learn from it. In other words to recreate yourself you must stop judging yourself and start appreciating the things you have improved on. We sometimes are to hard on forgiving ourselves so we should recreate ourselves to forgive. Take up something that challenges you and face it. When you succeed in it you will find that you have recreated the person you were before. Recreation is great you become a better person smarter and more confident.An example of this would be if you are sometimes greedy practice sharing. You’ll  become a more sharing person that people will love.

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.”- William Penn.

To me the first part of this quote means that you must always stand up for what’s right. Other people may not agree with you and it's okay if you stand alone. In other words if you know what’s right stand up for it , and follow your instinct. We know the difference between right and wrong and we may not always make the brightest of choices. So what i’m trying to say is that if you believe in something stand up for it even if everyone is against it. Follow your beliefs and what you think because most of the time you will be making the right choice. An example would be if you're at a party and everyone is making bad choices you either walk away or avoid facing it. Everyone may think things of you if you choose the right but don't mind them. You choose the right and feel good about. Feel good that you trusted yourself in doing the right thing and that you're the only person that actually stood up for your beliefs.

The other half of this quote goes well with the first part of the quote. It’s like a yin yang sign their is always a little good in the bad and there is always a little bad in the good. What is wrong the opposite of good...right. To me this means that don’t follow people because you don't want to be left out. In other words if everyone is doing wrong You must not follow. You must realize that not because everyone is doing it will make the things you do good. An example of this is lieing or cheating not because everyone does it will it become good. Lying and cheating are bad because they hurt people and they hurt the person that does it. So alway choose the right.

“ DON’T SACRIFICE WHAT YOU WANT MOST FOR WHAT YOU WANT NOW. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU WANT MOST AND SEE IT OFTEN.” Peter Vidmar

To me this means to focus on your future and on working towards your goals. In other words what this quote means to me is that you may want to do many things in life but don't seem to find enough time for it. You must not give up on your goal just because of that you have to keep aiming for it. In our everyday life we have to contribute to accomplishing this goal if we really want it. What Peter Vidmar is trying to tell us is that sometimes we must sacrifice things for the better good. Sometimes we have to stop doing the things we want to do at the moment to focus on the the things that we’ve been working so hard for. We all have control over what we do and with that being said we all have a choice. When making a decision we have to choose what’s right. Don’t give up your goals because they seem impossible, or because their are to hard to reach. Focus on what matters the most and on what you believe in. Don’t forget what your goals mean to you and remind yourself of them often.

Example: SOMETIMES  i want to watch t.v. but i have homework to do. My goal is to have straight A’s. So what i do is finish my homework and then if i have any time left i’ll watch t.v.

Homecoming

A school homecoming is a dance after a football game where couples and friends hang out to have fun. Usually there is a homecoming king and queen that are crowned that day.

History: This all started in a game of 1870. There were three people who were on a tie to making the first homecoming: Baylor, Illinois and Missouri but it wasn’t made into 1910. These homecomings had similar concepts and events like a football game, rallies, parades, speeches and school dances. The purpose of it all was to gather the students up and build school pride in them. It had become widely popular and by the 1920’s there was homecoming in all the U.S. as it was known for tradition.

Why celebrate?: In school we celebrate homecoming to unite the students so that they can make stronger friendships and gain school pride.

What is their?: In a homecoming there usually is a football game, a school dance, and spirit week. Some other school do speeches, parades, or rallies but they alway involve a football game.

Why is it called the homecoming game?: The reason that it’s called a homecoming game is because it’s the first time where the football players play at their school against their rivals.

Homecoming ettique: Buy a corsage for your date.You must dress semi-formal and have fun be with your friends and sometimes witnh your date. As courtesy dance one slow song.

Reflection: Homecoming sounds like a great idea. It’s sounds very fun and very useful. All the events and activities from homecoming sound like an adventure that some people will enjoy.
