“You will go far with ctr.”

-Mr. Haymore

What this quote is saying is very true and important. The reason why it is true is because if you choose the right, then you will go far. You will be able to complete school, and get a good career. You will start your own family, travel around the world, and do whatever you ever dreamed of. You will be able to accomplish your goals, because you chose the right. You will be a happy person, that has many dreams, and you will be able to show others what ctr is like. On the other hand, if you go the ctw path, then you will not go far. You will not get anywhere, because you keep on choosing the wrong. For example, a ctw person will use drugs, and never accomplish anything. That will not get you anywhere, because you are not doing anything to make you happy. If you are a ctw person, you will not be able to accomplish things such as getting a good job, and getting a family. The reason why is because ctw people are lazy, and they do not do anything to make a change. You will get nowhere being a ctw person. As you can see, there is a difference between choosing the right, and choosing the wrong. You should always choose the right, because it will make you a happy person. Being a ctr person means that you will surround yourself with good people, that have a positive impact in your life. On the other hand, if you are a ctw person, then that means that you surround yourself around people that choose the wrong, and are not doing anything good. If you choose the wrong, then you will be lazy, disrespectful, mean, hateful, rude, and dishonest. That is bad because you will not be happy. You will spread all those bad things to other people, and that is not good. In conclusion, being a ctr person, will bring peace. It will bring positivity, and happiness. You are a ctw person by not bringing those things. A ctr person will love everyone no matter how different they are, or where they come from. A ctr person will radiate happiness, and bring love to the world. This is why it is important for everyone to be a ctr person, and always choose the right, because that will get you far in life.

        

Class Evaluation

Some of the things that I liked about this class was the fact that we always got a medical career. The reason why is because we were able to learn about more careers that we did not know about. To add on, I also liked the student success statements. The reason why is because we learned many good quotes, that were very important, and had a lot of meaning. They taught us many things about life. In addition, I also like how we did life planning goals journal. The reason why is because I think it is a good idea that we write down our goals. That will help us know what we have accomplished, and what we still need to accomplish. It is a great idea to write in a journal what are your goals in life.

Some of the things that I did not like about this class is the coding. The reason why is because I am not really good at it. To add on, I really do not like to code. Even though it was hard, I did learn many things about coding. Another thing that I did not like was the computer science vocabulary. The reason why is because I think that the words were very hard, and hard to understand even we were given the definition.

I recommend to not have hard words for the computer science vocabulary. To add on, I also recommend more work that will involve working with others. The reason why is because that way they will be able to talk more to other classmates that they do not know as well. I think working in group will be better to communicate.

The highlight for me in this class was the ctr class project. The reason why is because we were able to show others what choosing the right is like. To add on, we were able to show others why they should be ctr. We showed the difference between ctr and ctw, so that our classmates can see how they are different. We showed them our information in a powerpoint.

Yes I really did my best in class. I always tried my best in all the medical careers. To add on, I always tried my best on explaining what I think the student success statements mean. I always wrote examples for the student success statements, and always tried to explain the best I can. To add on, when we would get projects, I always tried my best in them with my partner, so that we can be able to get a good score on them.

Yes, I am reading and writing on my life planning goals journal daily. I think it is very important to work on it daily, so that you can keep in mind what your goals are. That way, you know when you have accomplished one, and you will be able to write victory, because you have accomplished it. To add on, it is also very important to write down your goals. I do write down new goals that I have in my life everyday, so that I can know what they are and keep them in my mind.

I am committed to being a ctr person. The reason why is because you have the chance to help many people in the world for the better if you are a ctr person. I love to help others. To add on, being a ctr person is great because you get to see good stuff happening around you, because you are surrounded by good people, and a good environment. On the other hand, if you were a ctw person, then you will be surrounded by ctw people. I do not like to be surrounded by ctw people, because they can bring negativity. If you surround yourself with ctr people, then that will bring peace, and positivity. I am a ctr person because I care for others, and I am always there for others when they need me. A ctw person would not care at all if someone needs them to be there for them. Being a ctr person is great because you are able to spread peace and love. This is why I am a ctr person.

 

                       

“The ultimate choice is to be a ctr person- to always choose the right 24/7!!!”

-Mr. Haymore

This quote is very important. The reason why is because it is telling us that choosing the right is the best thing that we can ever do. It is telling us that choosing the right is what everyone should do, because it is the correct choice. To add on, there are many example of how someone can be a ctr person. For example, if you see a piece of paper on the floor, and you do not pick it up and throw it away, that is an example of ctw. You will be guilty, because you know that you should had chosen the right. On the other hand, picking it up and throwing it away, that is what should had been done. You will be happy knowing that you chose the right. Another example can be helping someone. For example, if you see someone that is struggling carrying bags to their car or something, then you should help them. You should help them, because that is the correct thing to do. What is not correct is just leaving them alone, and letting them struggle. To add on, you should also help them because you never know when you might need the help, or when you might be in their position. You would not like someone just looking at you and walking away. This is why it is important to always make the correct choices, and choose the right. If everyone in this world chose the right, then this world will be a happy and peaceful place, but unfortunately, many people do not choose the right, and many bad things happen. If you do not choose the right, then you may regret it later, because karma might happen to you. As you can see, this is why it is very important for everyone to choose the right. Choosing the right is a choice that everyone should make.

  

“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 quote is saying is all very important. The reason why it is important is because it is telling us that if we have these things, then it will bring peace. It is telling us that having a good character will bring harmony to our homes. This is true. For example, if you are always respectful at all times, and you get along with your family really good, then that will bring harmony and love to your family. If there is harmony in the home, then there will be order in the nation. What I think it means by this is that if there is love in the house, and also peace, then you will learn to do the same to others. You will be able to give that to the whole world, because you have that at home.If you give peace to others, they can learn, and they will do it to others, and the whole world will do it. To add on, where it says that order in the nation will bring peace to the world, I think that that is the most important part of this quote. It is saying that is everyone is raised respectful, and with peace, they will be able to give that to the world. This world would be peaceful, and with no ctw people. To add on, it is our character, that will bring peace to the world. I saying this because if we are all nice, and helpful, then the whole world will be like that. If we all treated each other will peace and happiness, then we will all be in peace. This is why I believe this quote, and how it says “If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world”. This quote is really important, and very smart and wise.

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

-Thomas Carlyle

What this quote is saying is that if you do not have any of your goals written down, or you do not know what you are doing, then you will be lost like a boat. For example, a boat must need a rudder so that it can be able to guide to the boat to a destination. If someone decides to go somewhere, but they do not know what they are doing, then they will be lost. To add on, it can also relate with a relationship. If no one is putting effort to the relationship, then that is like a ship without rudder. It will go nowhere, and they will get lost and hurt. As you can see, this is why this quote is very important. It can be literally or figuratively. To add on, this quote is also saying that if you do not have any goals, then you will not have anything to accomplish, or anywhere to go. This is why this quote is very important, because it teaches us to always have a goal, or destination, to know where we want to go in life, and not be lost. This is why this quote is very important.

“When a deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive.”

-Alan Paton

What this quote means to me is very true. I believe that you should always forgive, because if you do not, then you will be holding a grudge. It will stay with you forever, and you will always be thinking about what you could had done to change it, but what you didn’t do. A very good example of this is like the one that we saw in class, where the woman was able to forgive that guy, because she knew that if she did not, then she will not be living in peace. To add on, another example can be if someone has done something to harm you before. They may feel guilty after, because they know that they did the wrong thing. You should forgive them, because they feel sorry for what they made you go through. You should be able to forgive, to be able to recover, because the only way that we will recover fully is if we forgive, so that is very important. If you do not forgive, then you will live with the thought everyday of your life, knowing that you should had forgiven the person. This is why this quote is very important, because it is able to teach us things such as forgiving. If we forgive, then we will live in peace and happiness, and not live holding a grudge.

“Dare to do right.”

- Rex D. Pinegar

What this quote is telling us is always do what is right. It is daring us to doing what is right, instead of wrong. For example, if you get dared to do drugs or something, then you should have the courage to say no. you should say that that is not the correct, and not do it. You should stand up for yourself, and dare to do the right. Another example can be hurting someone, either emotionally or physically. Maybe you are dared to harm someone, but you should not do it. You should not do it because that is the wrong thing to do. Just like this quote says, you should do the right, and have the courage to stand up for yourself. This is why I think that this quote is very important, because it is daring us to doing the right, and that is what we should always do. We should always choose the right, and be a ctr person, instead of a ctw person. This is why I believe that this quote is very important, and it teaches us to doing what is right. There are many more examples, of doing what is right, but these were just a few. We should all be dared to doing what is right, and that way, there will be many more good people in the world. This is why this quote is important.

“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.”

-Dan Dierdorf

What this quote means to me is that you always have to keep your goals, and accomplish them. If you have many goals, and you accomplish them, then everything falls into line, just like this quote says. To add on, if you always do what is right, then that means that you will succeed. This is why it is important to always do what is right. For example, if you actually study for a test, and you do not cheat, then that is doing what is right, and that will make you succeed. You will get a good score, and it will be worth it. To add on, another job can be at work. If you always do your job correctly, then you will be put in a higher level. You may be a worker to a manager. Another example can be if you decide to do what is wrong, then you might end up in jail or something depending on what you did. This shows the difference between what doing the right can lean to, and what doing the wrong can lead to.This is why you always have to do what is right, because then it will fall into place. This is why this quote is very important to know about. To add on, this quote is also saying that if you have goals that you want to achieve, then you can make it happen. You just have to believe that it will happen, and you will see that everything will fall into place just like the quote says. This is why i think that this quote is very important, because it teaches you to always have goals, because it is possible, and to always do what is right to be able to succeed.

Phillip Riggs

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.

-Phillip Riggs

What the first success statement means to me is that you should always work hard for anything that you want. You should never give up, because that shows that you are not hard working. For example, if you have a really hard test that you need to study for, then you should study, and not give up. You should study until you know that you are prepared, and you should not give up. If you do give up, then you will get a bad grade because you are not trying. What the second success statement means to me is that you should always follow your dreams. You should do what makes you happy, and not others. You should follow your passions, because that is what makes you happy, and what you know you want to do forever. What the third success statement means is that you should never do anything just for money. For example, you should not just get a random job, that pays a lot, rather than your dream job. You should not do it for the money, and this is what it means by not chasing after money. You should do something because you want to, and because it makes you happy, not because of the money. If you do it for the money, then you will be unhappy. The last success statement means that you should always do good things. The reason why is because if you do good things for others, then good things will happen to you. On the other hand, if you do bad things to others, then bad things will happen to you. Karma will get you. For example, if you steal money, then it will go back to you. You may not know it, but you may get your money stolen or something, and that is because you did something bad, so know that will happen to you. This is what i think that each of them mean, and why they are so important.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

 -Dennis Prager

What this quote means is that you should always have good values. The reason why is because it is the most important thing you will every have. The reason why I think this is because having good values makes you yourself, and it makes you a ctr person. On the other hand, having bad values does not make you a ctr person, it makes you a ctw person. The reason why is because if you have bad values, then that means that you are disrespectful, and not trustworthy. This is why i think that having good values is important, because it will make you a great person. For example, if you want to eat junk food, and you think about the consequences, such as getting obese and health problems, and you do not do it, then that is having good values. Instead you eat a salad. The reason why this is having good values is because you decided to do something that will not harm you, and instead you did what was right, and you did not do it. This is why I believe that this quote is important. To add on, another example can be if you are deciding on whether or not you should do your homework, or be on your phone. You are tempted, but you know that if you do not do your homework, that you will be behind. So you decide to do what is right, and you do homework. That is the right thing to do, and that shows that you have good values, because you are doing something that is right, and not incorrect. This is why this is important to know. 

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

This quote is very important because it is telling us how you should always do the right thing at all moments. You should always be honest and truthful. To add on, if you always do the right thing, it will make you a ctr person, while doing the bad thing will make you a ctw person. This is why it is important to do the right thing at all moments. For example, if you see an elderly person dropping something, then you should help pick it up. You should not even hesitate and think if you should help or not. You should help the person, because it is the right thing to do, and they may be having trouble picking it up. It would be a wrong choice if you did not help pick it up, because that is disrespectful. It is the right thing to help others, and it is the wrong to not help. Another example would be if someone dropped their money, and they did not notice. The right thing to do is give them back their money, because it belongs to them. To add on, another reason why you should always do the right thing is because if you do something good, then it will pay off later. On the other hand, if you don’t do the right thing, then it will come back to you. This is why I believe that this quote is very important, and it is so true. It also teaches many things. This is what I think the quote means.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff

What this quote is saying is something very important. It is saying that is you do something wrong, then nothing good will be gained from that. For example, if you decide to cheat on a test, then you will gain nothing from that. You will just be a person that can not be trusted, and you will be dishonest. To add on, another example can be while playing a game. If you decide to cheat on a game, then you will not be a ctr person. You will gain nothing from cheating. It is going to take you nowhere, because you will not be trusted. One example to show that doing what is right can take you places is in school. If you always try your best, then you will get very far. On the other hand, if you never try in school, and you are always doing what is wrong, and you are always ditching, and you do not care about school, then that will take you nowhere. If you do this, that is wrong, and it will take you nowhere. The reason why is because when you apply to universities, they will see that you are a ctw person, and that you do not try at all. They then will not accept you, because you are doing what is wrong, and not trying. As you can see, you will gain nothing if you do what is wrong. On the other hand, if you do what is right, such as always doing good in school, they will see that you have a bright future ahead, and accept you. Doing what is right will gain you a lot of this, meanwhile doing what is wrong will not gain you anything. This is why this quote is true, and very important to know about.

"It's A GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time."

-Pam Knox

I agree with this quote because it is true that you should always do the right thing at the right time, because that is just the correct thing to do. To add on, it will make you a ctr person if you always do right. On the other hand, if you never do what is right, then that will make you a ctw person. That is not correct because it will make you a person that is disrespectful. For example, if you see that someone cheated in a game, then you should say so. The reason why is because it will not be correct to stay quiet. You should say what happened, because that is what correct. One the other hand, if you do not say what happened, then that means that you will also be cheating, because you saw what happened, but did not say anything. This is why it is very important to always do and say what is right at the right time, instead of staying quite. In Conclusion, it is very important, and that is why I think that this quote is very important. It will help you be a great person.

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: Places me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, every so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw chalk line around me and have my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first." 

- Karl G. Maeser

What this quote means to me is to always keep your word. The reason why you should always keep your word is because if you do not, then you might end up hurting someone. For example, if you decide to keep a promise for someone, but then later break your word and promise, then you will end up hurting the person. To add on, it is important that you always keep your word, because then people will know you as a liar. This is why it is important to always keep your word, such as Karl G. Measer, and not break it. In addition, he was a person that was very well honored, and the reason why is because he always kept his word. This is also very important, because if you keep your word, then many people will know that you are respectful, and responsible. On the other hand, if you never keep your word, and always break your promises, then you will be know as disrespectful, and not responsible. This is also important because always keeping your word makes you a ctr person. The reason why is because you are truthful. If you do not keep your word, then you will be known as a ctw person. This is why this quote is really important. 

The 10 Indian Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all dwells therein with respect.                 
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.
3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
6. Do what you know to be right.
7. Look after the well-being of the mind and body.
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
10. Take full responsibilities for your actions.

These ten commandments are all really important, because they can help make someone a better person. For example, commandments 6 is important, because it is telling you to be a good person, and always do what is right, and not wrong. It is important that when you make choices, they are all correct choices. To add on, commandment 9 is also important, because it is telling you that no matter what is going on, or the circumstances, to always be truthful and honest. That is really important because if you are not truthful and honest, then that will cause many problems, and you will have to face the consequences. In addition, I think that commandment 5 is really important, because if you see that someone needs help, then you should give assistance. You should also give kindness to everyone, and show respect, just like commandments 3 says. You should never be disrespectful to anyone, because that is not correct. In conclusion, these commandments are all really important, because they are useful for being a ctr person. These will help everyone know what is right to do, and it can help you not be a ctw person. This is why these commandments are really important.  

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

What I think that this quote is saying is that the only good type of investment is goodness. If you do not have an goodness, then that is not correct. It is very important that you have goodness in everything to do, because that will make everything ctr, meanwhile if you do not have goodness in everything you do, that will be ctw. One example of this can be helping someone out. You are doing something good, and that will never fail you. If you do goodness, then that is great because then goodness will happen to you. On the other hand, if you do something, and it does not have any goodness in it, then that means that it is not correct. You should not be doing anything that do not have any good in them. You should always do things that have good in them, because that will lead you to the correct path. If you do things that do not have good in them, then that means that it will lead you to the wrong path. You should never go the wrong path because that is not correct. In fact, if you do things that do not have any good in them, then it will fail, but if there is good in it, then it will not fail. It will be success. To add on, all ctw will fail, but ctr such as goodness will not fail. This is what I think that this quote means by saying that goodness is the best investment.

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

-Theodore Hesburgh

What this quote is saying is that you always have to make the right decision, because it is correct. You should not make a decision because it is easy or cheap or popular. You need to make a decision because it is ctr. For example, you should not do something good, such as help someone out because there are many people watching, so you want to show that you are a good person. You should help the person because you want to, and because you know that it is the correct thing to do. Many people may only do the correct decisions and choices, just to make it seem like they are a good person, and that is not correct. If you want to make the right decision, then do it because it is correct. You should never do anything if you are doing it to get popular. For example, people just may think of fame, but that is not everything. You should never just think about yourself. If you decide to make decisions because you want the easy way out of everything, then that is not good. You should always challenge yourself, and never make any decision that is easy, cheap, and popular. If you are doing something, then do it for the good. This is why you should always make decisions that are right.
