Student Success Statement

“You will go far with CTR.” This quote was stated by our vey own teacher, Mr.Haymore. I agree with this quote. If you do wrong in life, you wont go far. Although if you are aware of the consequences there is in every choice you make and you choose the right descision, you will succseed in life. For instance, if you’re asked to go celevrate the last day in school and you go and have a fun time but later on in the day they bring out bear and you decide to stay you just lead yourself to the wrong path. Although if you decide to leave you will feel good about it because an accident can occur. SO CHOOSE THE RIGHT !!!

Class Evaluation

There are many things I like about this class. For instance, the songs that are played after class. I also enjoyed that we were taught different lessons. That took part in my life a lot. It really helped me when I walk out of this classroom. They made become a good person. They made me choose the right. And when I thought about doing something I wasn’t supposed to, I thought about the consequences. These lessons Mr.Haymore has taught us has really impacted my life and probably my classmates as well. I also enjoyed how we wrote in our life planning goals journal. When we first were asked to bring a notebook into class for this reason, I didn’t even realize how many goals I truly had. Once I got to accomplish some of them and started writing victory, I felt satisfied. I think this journal really organized my thoughts, goals, and dreams. Bringing in this journal was a great idea for everyone. And lets not forget, I learned more and more each day to type without looking at the keyboard.

Some of the things I did not like about this class was how we didn’t always have enough free time. I also didn’t enjoy the fact that I wasn’t always able to finish my medical term research the first semester of the year. It felt like it wasn’t enough time. Also sometimes it got a bit boring back here where I sit. It would’ve been nice to move seats.

A recommendation for improving the class, I would say, keep the class interested and interesting. Some people lose focus and wander off. So maybe telling interesting stories while staying on topic is a way to go. Also, some new typing games would help, having the same typing tutor can get a little boring. One last thing I would say, is change students seats. Besides that I think the class is fine.

A personal highlight I would say for me is that I got to meet new people and make new friends. They helped me throughout the semesters in what I needed. I also think that our Life Planning Goals Journal has a great impact on me too. It made me more aware of the goals I have and in how much time I have to accomplish it. But also, being able to type without looking at the keyboard is a big one. I have always wanted to type without looking down and that is something I wrote in my journal, and I accomplished it. A friend of mine always knew how to do this and I found it fascinating, now I never really had the time to attempt because I was always busy. But now I am glad to be in this class because I accomplished yet another goal.

In this class, I always tried to do my best. Although sometimes, I do have to admitt, I didn’t feel in the best condition and I could’ve done better than what I had originally turned in. But overall I think I did the best I could.

I try and read my life planning goals daily, although sometimes I have to much to do in one day and I can’t get to it. Although, summer is coming and I plan on continuing to write and go over my journal every day. Each day I will strive to do better and write more goals and get where I want to be, but that can only happen if I continue with my journal.

Becoming a CTR person can be challenging, because you will always have a friend or someone in your life who wants to do something wrong and they’ll involve you, but that is your descision on whether you want to go along with it or not. But I will strive comitt on being a CTR PERSON. And I will try to make the people in my life to be one too! Thank you Mr.Haymore for teaching us so many leasons and student success statements and making us become better people. I can honestly say with no doubt that each and every single one of us have done a good deed because of this class. So I just want to say THANK YOU !

To be a CTR Person

Student Success Statement

“The ultimate choice is to be a CTR Person-to always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7 !!! This quote was stated by our very own teacher, Mr. Haymore. I agree with this quote. I agree with this statement because, I think becoming/being a CTR person will determine a lot in your life. I think that if you choose the right when you are supposed to, good things will come to you automatically. For instance, if you do your homework, get good grades, do things when you’re supposed to or asked to, then you will earn the things you want in life. Although, if you ditch school or don’t do what you are supposed to be doing, you won’t be successful in life. So Choose The Right all the time.

  

Beautiful Character

Student Success Statement

“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 woirld.

This statement was stated by Chinese Proverb. I tink this is such an accurate quote. One great thing can lead to many amazing other things. I think everyone should try to be the best character they have within. And I think this is what the quote is trying to emphasize. If you’re the best person you can be, you will covert everyone around you the same. I think this is a great quote people should live by because we will bring peace into the world. I agree with this quote.

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.” This statement was stated by Thomas Carlyle. I agree with this statement because when you don’t have  destination or location on your ship, then you will never go anywhere. You end exactly where you started. Same thing with a goal. If you have no goals in life, you will not go anywhere. You have no idea what you want to do. You don’t have an idea of where you want to go. I think this is what Thomas Carlyle is trying to explain and emphasize. I think everyone should set goals in there life to get where they want to be.

  

Memorial Day Weekend

This memorial day weekend I went to the lake with my family. We had a picnic and played really fun games. I must say there was a plethora amount of people who arrived at the park. I think they came for the same reason we did. To celebrate memorial day. I think we were lucky though because we found a perfect spot with shade and somewhere where there wasn’t a lot of people.  We left early in the morning and didn’t come back until late afternoon. After the picnic at the lake, I went to the mall. I bought new clothes because my brother will be graduating soon and I will be there to watch and we all have to look presentable as possible. After that I went home back with my family. We decided we should buy something to eat because everyone was too tired and no one wanted to cook. So my mom and myself went to go buy some tacos for the family. During the three day weekend I also stayed up until one in the morning to watch movies. One of the days that I was off, I helped my brother assemble a toy. I didn’t have any homework during the three day weekend so that was great because it was time consuming. Overall, this three day weekend was a blast.

    

Forgive

Student Success Statement

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.” This was stated by Alan Paton. I think that this statement is trying to explain to us that if you ever want to feel good in life you need to forgive. You can’t feel hatred towards others. You can’t hold grudges either. Forgiveness is the cure to all problems. For instance, as we saw in the video during class, one of the ladies mom had said if you don’t forgive you will grow old and bitter. This young lady forgave the man who is the cause of her daughters incident. I agree with Alan Paton. I agree with Alan because if you don’t forgive others, you will not live at peace or comfortable. Neither you are the person you need to forgive. You will both feel wrong about the situation.

Memorial Day

1.What is Memorial Day?

Memorial Day is a holiday in which those who died in active military service are remembered, traditionally observed on the last Monday of May.

2.When is Memorial Day?

Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May annualy. This year it will land on May 29.

3.What are a few ways to show honor and respect on Memorial Day?

• Writing a thank you card/note to send overseas
• Visiting a local veterans cemetery, or war memorial
• Visit a nearby veterans hospital
• Enjoy freedom by spending time with your family

        

5. Originally Memorial Day was known as Decoration Day, meant to honor the Union and the Confederate soldiers who died during the American Civil War. By the 1900s it had became a day to celebrate all American soldiers who died while serving in the military. It wasn’t until 1967, that it was legally named Memorial Day. The true origins of who held the first Memorial Day celebration is a deabted subject. Approximately, 620,000 soldiers on both sides have died during Civil War. The flag is supposed to be flown at half-mast until noon, and then raised to full mast until sunset on Memorial Day.

6. Something I would like to do in respect and honor of Memorial Day, is doing a random act of kindess. I have always wanted to try it out, and what better day than on, Memorial Day.

7. Memorial Day is a day where everyone should be considerate of and be taken seriously. We had brave soldiers who fought for us and we should honor them, even if it is something small such as visiting a hospital. That itself is enough. We should be appreciative of everything. Memorial Day isn’t just a day off of school. We should be showing our respect to them.

Do Right

Student Success Statement

“Dare to do right.” This was stated by Rex D. Pinegar. Rex is trying to emphasize that the only dare you should be attempting are good dares. You should only be doing dares that are beneficial to you. For instance, if you are dared to jump from one cliff to another, you shouldn’t do it. Although if you’re dared to do your homework for three whole weeks straight, you should do it. Attempt dares that will do you good and the people around you. You don’t only have to do good dares, dare people to do these dares also. I agree with Rex D. Pinegar. Everyone has  been dared in their life, why not go for a good dare.

Stand Alone

Student Success Statement

“Dare to stand alone.” This quote was stated by Thomas S. Monson. I think what Thomas is trying to inform us is that we shouldn’t be afraid to stick up for ourselves or be the only one to choose the right. It doesn’t necisarrily mean that we have to isolate ourselves or exclude ourselves from hanging out with friends or family. It just mean that you should know when and when not to be hanging out with certain types of people. For example, if your so called friends ask you to join them to smoke a ciggarette, and everyone you know is tagging along, you shouldn’t be afraid to say what you want. You should be brave and leave. You should have courage to say no and choose the right. It is ok if you’re the only one not smoking. This makes you the bigger person and it says more about you. It shows a lot of character. I agree with Thomas S. Monson because I think everyone should dare to stand alone if that is what it takes to be brave and show courage.

      

Astronomers

Today I chose to research an astronomer’s responsibilities and what they do. I thought it would be interesting to know more specific information about astronomers. Astronomers study the ways in which various forms of matter and energy interact. Theoretical, astronomers study the nature of time or the origin of the universe. Astronomers spend much of their time working in offices, but they also conduct research in laboratories and observatories. Most astronomers work full time. Astronomers study planets, stars, galaxies, and other celestial bodies. They use ground-based equipment, such as radio and optical telescopes, and space-based equipment, such as the Hubble Space Telescope. Some astronomers focus their research on objects in our solar system, such as the sun or planets. Others study distant stars, galaxies, and phenomena such as neutron stars and black holes, and some monitor space debris that could interfere with satellite operations. Astronomer’s usually need  a Ph.D in physics, astronomy, or a related field is needed for jobs in research and academia. Some of the important qualities that are needed is analytical skills, communication, concentration, critical thinking, curiosity, interpersonal, math, problem-solving, and self-discipline skills. Some positions with the federal government, such as those involving nuclear energy and other sensitive research areas. May require appicants to be U.S citizens and hold a security clearance. The median annual wage for astronomers is $115,870 as of May, 2016.

     

Student Success Statement

“If I’ve got correct goals , and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.” This was stated by Dan Dierdorf. I think Dan is trying to explain to us that if you have set yourself into a positive direction, then it is fine if you know the rest of your path or not because you will soon be headed into the correct path because you’re doing what is right and good for yourself. No matter what you will suceed. For instance, if you earn good grades in school, but you are not sure on what you want to study in the future for your career, it is ok because along the way you will know. So I agree with Dan Dierdorf.  If you set your goals and standards high and you meet them, everything will fall into place.

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

   to you.

Reflection: I think that these 4 success tips are something everyone should live by. They are inspirational, and I think they would be great for every situation you come upon. I can encorporate these tips in a daily schedule in school. When I become an adult and have a career, these success tips will be benificial for me. For example, in a job I should always keep in mind to work hard and try my best. The second tip is benificial because I shouldn’t get a career I know will bore me or not be to my best interest. Not chasing after money teaches me that I shouldn’t do things for money. And doing good things to others will bring good to me and positivity.

The Right Thing

Student Success Statement

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.” This quote was stated by one of our former presidents Theodore Roosevelt. I agree with Theodore. This is a good quote to live by because it will always remind you to choose the right at all times. For instance, if you were invited to attend a party, and you knew there was going to be alcohal and drugs and you accepted the invitation, that is choosing the wrong. Although, if you were to choose the right you would say no because it is the right thing to do.

Nothing

Student Success Statement

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.” This was quoted by Wilford Woodruff. I personally agree with Wilford. I agree because you can’t have success in life or at all when you do what is wrong. For instance, in order to get a job, your friend has to get fired. So because you want the job so bad, your friend gets fired. Then you get the job. That isn’t fair to your friend. Your job should be earned because you worked hared for it. It isn’t right to gain what you want by do something wrong to another person.
