Class Evaluation 

  I like that i sit next to my friend Emily Perez (aka "HEY ITS EMILY). We help each other whenever we need help on the computer. We became friends because of this class. Also, that we win prices just by having our CTR card. Even if I never win.

I don't like the Student Success Statements, since sometimes I don't agree with them. Or sometimes, I just don't know what to say in those 10 sentences that are required,

Not include SSS in our daily routine.

I think the highlight is the motto CTR (Choose The Right)

I think I do do my best in this class since I am always putting effort into all of the work given by Mr. Haymore.

I actually do. I wasn't really looking forward to it in the beginning, but I find it to be really helpful.

I am being commited, because CRT stands for Choose The Right, and choosing the right is always the right thing to do.

“When you Tell one Lie, it leads to Another.”

-Paul Hatch

   What this means is that it’s never okay to lie. When you say one lie, it forces you to say another to cover up the first one. Instead of lying, say the truth. It can help you alot. Also, it wouldn’t stress you out. By that, I mean not worrying if the person you lied to found out you lied to them. It is really hard keeping a secret from someone. Also, you wouldn’t want someone keeping a lie from you. Getting into the habit of lying is bad. Choose the right, and say the truth.

“The Sting of the Scorpion”

-Elder Patrick Kearon

This story is about the time Elder Patrick chose the wrong. Him and his family went camping to the desert. Before this trip, his family had warned him to put shoes on because of the dangers of getting stung by snakes, scorpions, etc. That day he disobeyed his parents. He was going to go on a little walk. Instead of putting on his shoes, he put on sandals thinking nothing was going to happen to him. So he went on his walk and on that walk he got stung by a scorpion. He was rushed to the hospital by his parents. The nearest hospital was 2 hours away, and meanwhile he had an excruciating pain. That day he realized why his parents told him to wear closed shoes and why he should always listen to what they tell him to do. I learned that you should always do what’s good for you. Also, that you should always listen to your parents, because if they tell you to do something, it’s for your own good.

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

-UNKNOWN

What this means is that being alone isn’t always bad, and that having company isn’t always good. For example, if you are with a group of bad people. They can get you into a lot of trouble. They can sometimes even cause really serious consequences. Like if they convince you to do drugs or drink alcoholic beverages. That person may be driving, and you can get into a serious car accident, and even die. But, if you are alone, you won’t be at risk of anything dangerous. That’s if you’re not doing anything you’re not supposed to be doing. You can be focusing on school. You can even be doing something as simple as watching TV. You just have to Choose The Right.

Challenges Teens Face Today

What are several of the major challenges teens deal with today?

• Some teens (specifically dreamers) have the challenge of not being able to apply to college, because they are undocumented. It is a challenge for them, since they want to become someone in life and aren’t able to do it because of one paper. Not all colleges prohibit them from doing it, but states like South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia. So, the teens living there have that major challenge.
• Self- Esteem and Body image
• Stress
• Bullying
• Depression

What are one or two major challenges YOU are dealing with today? What are you doing about them?

One major challenge I have been dealing with for a large amount of time is stress, especially with school. Teachers never hesitate in giving us homework, but don’t realize we have other classes and other activities we need to do.

How does being a CTR person help you overcome any challenge you may face?

Like I said before, one challenge I have been dealing with is stress. Being a CTR person can help me because, when I finish my class work early, instead of waiting to do it at home, I can start at school, if I have time.

How can you help other teens to overcome their challenges?

I can help other teens by just asking them what’s wrong and giving them the attention they need.

Reflection: What is the greatest need that teenagers have?

The greatest need teens have is being more social with others. To communicate and meet new friends.

“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

       What this means is that being fit doesn’t only help you have a healthy body. It helps you with your intelligence skills like John F. Kennedy said. For example, if you exercise regularly, it will help you think better. Also, without a headache, you can learn better. It will help you concentrate. Things that can help you are having a healthy diet. Not only that but exercise like jogging or playing a sport. You need to stay out of certain things. For example not doing drugs or drinking alcohol. Choose The Right!

“Kindness is the essence of greatness”

-Joseph B. Wirthlin

    What this means is that being kind is key to being great. If you want to stand out, be kind. You need to be kind to others anyways. When you are kind, people will remember you as not only kind, but respectful. If you are not kind, people will look at you in a negative way.

Thanksgiving Week

 The whole break I spend most of my time with my sister, which I really enjoy doing, since my parents we’re at work. Monday thru Wednesday was spent on doing our homework that way we’d have the rest of the week off. On Thanksgiving morning, my family and I woke up later than usual. We woke up, and decided that the four of us would go eat breakfast. After that, we got home and started to get ready for the Thanksgiving Dinner. We started doing our chores while my mom was preparing the turkey. She made turkey with stuffing and mashed potato with gravy. While the food was getting ready, I had finished my chores, so I decided to help my mom out in the kitchen. When everything was done in the kitchen I decided to watch a movie with my sister while my dad went to the barber shop and my mom was cleaning the kitchen. After that we started getting ready for the dinner, so we showered and got dressed. I spend Thanksgiving with my parents and my sister, which I always enjoy doing. While the turkey was getting ready my dad and I watched Chivas vs. America, since we both enjoy watching soccer. 1 hour into the game and our food was ready, so we ate. The food was really good. I enjoyed my break with the people I love the most.

“Manners maketh man.”

-William Wykeham

 What this means is that your manners show who you really are. Or the way you treat people. For example, if you are a polite person, that shows you are a polite person. You are a respectful person. But if you show the opposite for example, Donald Trump. It shows how you really are. Someone that is disrespectful. Someone who is sexist. Someone who makes fun of kids with special needs. That is someone with no education. That is a disrespectful person. It shows how he truly is.

“If it is not right don’t do it; if it is not true do not say it.”

-Marcus Aurelius

What this means that if something isn’t right, you’re better off not doing it. It will help you.  It will keep you out of trouble. For example, if you want to do drugs. You know it’s not the right thing to do. That means you obviously shouldn’t do it. For the 2nd part of the quote he is saying not to lie. I think that sometimes lying isn’t always bad. It depends if it affects the person you’re telling it to or not.  In other words if it benefits them or not.

Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving is celebrated every 24th of November.  The first Thanksgiving was in 1621, but it didn’t become an annual tradition until 200 years later. So that means that the 1st Thanksgiving celebrated as an annual tradition was around the 1800’s. We celebrate Thanksgiving due to the Pilgrims first successful harvest in 1621. The first Thanksgiving was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. One of the biggest traditions in Thanksgiving is to eat turkey. Also mashed potato, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Another tradition that day is the Macy’s parade in New York.  It has been a tradition since 1924. The most important tradition is to spend the evening with your family members and loved ones.

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

Chick Moorman

 What this means is that winning or losing isn’t always important. Doing the right thing is though. Another way to say it is that you win or lose things but as long as you know you tried. Winning isn’t always good. Especially what you won. If you won something that is bad, then you shouldn’t be proud. If you lost a game or something you shouldn’t be sad. Winning isn’t always important. As long as you enjoy what you’re doing and having fun, then it’s okay. Choose The Right!

My feelings towards Veteran’s Day

 I think Veteran’s Day is important. We need to pay respect for the people that served our Country. Not only that, but they fought for our freedom. They risked their lives for us. We need to be grateful for that. That is why we have a day especially for them. Not all veterans survived. Most of them lost their lives fighting for us.

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.”

W. Clement Stone

For the first one it means to say no when something is wrong. For example, if you are with a “friend” and they offer you drugs. You know drugs are wrong. You need to say no because you know it is wrong. For the 2nd one, you need to accept what is right from wrong. For example, if your friend offers you an alcoholic beverage, and you think that one won’t hurt. You need to have the courage to face the truth and not drink it. Why?, because it is wrong. For the 3rd one, If there is a movie on tv, but you haven’t started on your homework. You need to do what’s right. The right thing to do is do your homework. It is more important than watching a movie.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed,”

-Proverbs 13:20

 This means that who you choose to hang out with is how you are. For example if you hang out with ctr people. You are most likely to be like them. You will do what’s right because that is what’s expected of you. You won’t be doing drugs, drinking, etc. If you choose to hang out with the wrong people then there will be lots of consequences. You don’t want to hang out with people that ctw. You can be getting into alot of trouble. You don’t want to lose your freedom for a mistake. Choose to hang out with the right people, the ones that choose the right.

“The best recreation is to do good.”

William Penn

  What this means is doing good is the right thing. For example, if you are currently doing bad in school. You can recreate that. You can start to do what is right. Instead of being lazy, you do what is needed of you. There is also a way of recreating yourself in a bad way. For example, if you choose to do bad instead of good in school. I’m not saying that’s what you should do though. You need to choose what is right.

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

• William Penn

 What the first quote means is that even if people are against the right thing, the right thing to do is what’s right. You don’t have to listen to anyone. Be the person to do what’s right and make a positive impact. For example, school uniforms. Even if the whole school is against it, the right thing to do is bring your uniform like you’re supposed to. The second quote means that even if everyone is for something wrong, it doesn’t change the fact it’s wrong. For example, if you are at a party and everyone is doing bad things. Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s right. It means everyone is wrong. You always need to choose what’s right for you. 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

I think what this means is that don’t let a small goal go between you and your biggest goal. For example, if you want to be a good basketball player. Your biggest goal is to practice and do good. What you want now is probably to go home and relax. But you can’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now like Peter says. You need to be practicing a lot. You also need to put in a lot of effort to reach your goal. It’s like doing homework, but you get a text and get distracted. What you want most is to do your homework. But what you want now is to reply to the text. But, if you don’t sacrifice it, you can finish your homework and continue with the conversation. You need to choose what’s right.

Homecoming

Define homecoming: A high school, college or university game, dance, or other events in which alumni are invited.

History on homecoming: One of the first homecoming games/dances was Kansas vs. Missouri in 1911.

Why do we celebrate homecoming?:  People celebrate homecoming to spend time with your friends.

Events/activities: football games, dances, week-long activities etc.

Why is it called homecoming game?: I think it’s called homecoming game because alumni come to they’re “home”/ team.

Homecoming etiquette: It is a tradition that people wear floral accessories.

Opinion: I think hoco is a good opportunity to spend time with your friends.

“A good name is better than anything you can achieve in life,”

Coach K.

What this quote means is that what people think of you is more important than anything. It’s people’s impression of you what matters. For example, you would want people saying positive things about you. You wouldn’t want people saying negative things about you. For example, when  you see someone. After you leave, they’ll remember one good thing you did. But if you are a bad person they’ll talk about how much of a bad person you are. In my opinion it doesn’t really matter what people think of me. EVERYONE has done something bad in their life. No one is perfect. Also, just because you have a tattoo on your body doesn’t mean you are automatically a bad person. I think that people who have that type of mentality are rude and disrespectful and shouldn’t judge people just by looking at them.

“Global Opportunities: Careers in Other Countries”

Canada:

   The #1 job in Canada is a mining or forest manager. The median salary for that job annually is of $104,000.

Mexico:

   The #1 job in Mexico is a vice president (executive and management). The median salary for that job annually is of $360,000 (mexican dollaras)

Reflection:

   I think I would like to work in another country. I think it just depends on the opportunity given for me. For example, if it’s something I can find here in the US, ill just stay, but if it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity then i’ll take the risk to move.

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

Proverbs 22:1

   This means that money doesn’t matter. What matters most is what people think of you. For example the way you treat people. If you treat them correctly, then they’ll remember you in a good way. Everytime someone mentions your name, they’ll remember what a good person you are. But if you treat them bad, then they won’t even want to remember you.
