“You will go far with CTR”

This quote is saying that when you choose the right it boosts you up to a better future. When you make the right choices you do what you want and from, there you accomplish many more things the right way. Making right choices does take you a long way because if you don’t make right choices you suffer consequences. Making bad decisions only takes you to bad places like jail, or you could end up dead. People sometimes don’t know what to pick between bad or good, maybe because it's easier the wrong way or harder the right way. No matter what the situation is you should always choose the right way. If it’s challenging challenge yourself to do it that way you learn how to do things and the next time it's easier to do. People sometimes think choosing the right is a joke but in reality it's something everyone needs to do because if you don’t make right choices in life you won’t be successful and you will always be having a hard time. If you feel like you're under pressure because of friends or family don’t worry about what they say worry about what is best for you and what you have to do to be successful. If you let others bring you down you aren’t going to get anywhere, don’t let others get in your way because everything you do is for you to be happy with yourself and to make those who you want, happy.

Class Evaluation

          What i liked about this class was that we didn’t only learn how to type but we also learned how to always make the best choices in life. Not everyone gets to have a teacher that wants and shows what is best for their students so we should appreciate that. I also liked that we got to challenge ourselves to do certain stuff at a certain amount of time. We not only learned how to use a computer but we discovered new websites and sites that are beneficial to us. I also liked how we were always willing to help others even when we don’t want to.

         What i didn’t like about this class was that we never really did anything other than the student success statement and the medical term research. Also that some students didn’t follow directions knowing that this was a class that is all about choosing the right. Something else i didn’t like about this class was that we never moved seats throughout the whole semester. Some things the class can improve on is doing stuff other than what this class normally does. Also having students move around to meet other people or make more communication with those in this class.

        A highlight for me in this class was that no matter where you are in life you should never give up. Life is too short to give up on whatever you want to do and you should live your life to the fullest. You should always do stuff the right way whether you want to or not because if you don’t it will affect you and the consequences will come. You should always have a helping hand to others and always be willing to be there when somebody needs someone to talk or they just feel lonely. Another highlight was to be the best person you can be because even if some people don’t like you the way you are you shouldn’t care and you should always be yourself.

        I really tried my best in this class i did what i needed to do when it had to be done. Sometimes i would get lazy but i would still get my work done because i knew i had to. This class wasn’t as hard as i thought it would be. I know when stuff have to be done and if i don’t get it done i try to complete it with the time that i have left. I think i did pretty good in this class i could’ve earned an A but i didn’t. I'm good with a B as long as it was lower than a C it’s still something i should appreciate.

          I am not really reading my life planning goals journal on a daily. I read it sometimes when i want to but sometimes i don’t really pay attention to it. It is an important thing to read because everyone should be aware of what they want to accomplish in life. I am aware of what i want to accomplish in life but i don’t really have to read my journal in order to know so i don't really read it.

           Yes i am committed to be a CTR person because if i make bad choices in life it is not going to get me no where. Being someone that makes good choices is someone who wants to be successful in life. I want to be successful in life and i want to get stuff done the right way. Some people may think it is a joke to choose the right but in reality it's something everyone needs to do to be the best person they could be and to be successful in life.

“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 in the world.”- Chinese Proverb

This quote is saying that when one has good character and has a nice sense of humor more people will get along and there will be more happiness in the world. When people are always upset or like to complain about everything people get into problems and that causes drama. There are people in the world that are not very fortunate and they probably need more of what we have. Some of those people appreciate what they have and are happy with that. Us people that are fortunate we should appreciate what we have and get along with others and be happy. When someone is nice, generous, and likes to see others happy that is beauty in character because not only do they think about themselves but others around them. That’s how it should be everyone should make others happy that way those people could go along with it and it will be a cycle that will never end. This applies to us as people because if we know that we are nice people we treat others in a good way and we want to get along with others. If people are not like that and don’t want to even make others happy they are selfish and don’t want the world or just others in general to be happy. That is why we should always have the best of character so that there won’t be hate in the world and so that we can bring others together.

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

This quote is saying that someone who doesn’t have goals can live life or accomplish things, it’s like a ship without a rudder the rudder doesn’t function. In order for you to accomplish what you want or do what you want to do you have to work for it. When you set a goal but you don’t put in effort to accomplish it it won’t work. This relates to me for example in school i have to work for my grades otherwise if i don’t i would have all fails. In order to get good grades i have to score good scores on tests and other assignments and i have to put in effort. If i don’t put in effort i won’t have good grades and the work won’t be done by itself. In life things have to be done by one in order for it top work or to happen. If we don’t make it happen nothing else will. We have to work for what we want or what we need, our goals should be accomplished by us. Either we work for it or we let go so that it won’t be accomplished.

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

This quote is saying that when we do something that affects us or other people the only way we will forget about it is by forgiving ourselves. When you do something to harm yourself or other people your conscience follows you and you always think about it. It’s something we can’t control but we can fix by forgiving ourselves. If you did something to someone else you have to forgive yourself first before saying something to the other person. Even if they are still not okay with what you did you know that you did the right thing. Forgiving is something that has to be done, because if you don’t forget you will live in anger and regret. For example, if you get in an argument with your mom and you know you did wrong in something you have to forgive yourself for that then apologize to your mom because you know you did something wrong. Even if your mom thinks that you did something bad you know that you went and apologized to her for what you did. When someone doesn’t forgive they always live in fear thinking that something will happen to them because of what they did. It’s like when we get a cut first it hurts but when we recover from it, we forget it and it’s gone.

“Dare to do right”- Rex D. Pinegar

This quote is saying that no matter what you do you should always do the right thing. When you make right choices or do the right things it is beneficial to you and maybe others around you. If you don’t do the right things and make right choices you won’t get anywhere in life. Making bad choices only makes your life worse and affects you and your family or friends. When you choose to do something good it helps you become a better person. You become a better person by being honest, doing what it is right, and wanting to help not only yourself but those around you. For example if you are in a restaurant and your with a friend, and your friend forgets their money at home, you have a choice of paying for them or making them stay there. You should do the right thing and pay for them because that shows that you are a good person. On the other hand if you don’t do the right thing it just shows that you are greedy and only care about yourself. It is always best to do right at all times whether you are in a bad mood or a good mood.

“Dare to stand alone.”- Thomas S. Monson

This quote is saying that sometimes it’s better to be alone than with other people. It’s better because when you are alone you make your own decisions and you don’t have to listen to what others say. Sometimes when you work with other people you have to be told what to do or what to say, and some people don’t like that. Personally i like to work alone or be alone because i feel capable of doing whatever i want and i get more stuff done. Some people like to work with others, and that;s not bad but sometimes people want to take advantage and do stuff they aren't suppose to do. For example, if you are working on a group project and the people you work with are just telling you what to do then you should work by yourself and do what you want when you want to. It’s better than working with bossy people and then maybe at the end say that you didn’t do any work. When you work alone you don’t have to worry about others judging your work or getting into trouble. When you stand alone you are the leader of yourself and you feel accomplished knowing that you did it on your own and not with someone else. You are capable of doing what you want whether it’s alone or with others.

“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, i’m going to succeed.”- Dan Dierdorf

This quote is saying that when you lead your goals to a finish you have succeeded. When you do your goals the right way other stuff fall together and make stuff easier for you to accomplish. When you are trying to accomplish your goals you have to find the right way to accomplish them. Otherwise if you don’t find a way you won’t know what to do and you won’t have anything planned.

Phillip Rigg’s 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.

These tips are telling us or preparing to become successful. He did these tips to help us lead to success. These tips are saying to just put all you effort into what you like doing that way you can succeed in doing what you like. Otherwise if you don’t try hard or work hard for what you like doing you won't succeed in doing that. It also saying to be generous and thoughtful to others because when you are good to others good things come back to you when you least expect it. For example if you are studying to be a doctor because that is what you like to do you should put all your time and effort in doing all assignments and studying for test that way you can accomplish and do good in what you are doing. If you don’t try or you don’t put the time in what you like it isn’t going to do it by itself. You have to work for it and make it possible for you to succeed. You can be anything you want in life but you have to work for it. Even at the hardest times you shouldn’t give up you just keep going and motivate yourself to do what you like.

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

This quote is saying that your values are what matter most. They matter the most because your values make you the person that you are. What you value is what makes you make the right choices. For example if you are deciding to go to the movies or to study for a test, but you have to choose the right choice then that is where you have to see what is more valuable. Your mind is telling you to go to the movies but your values are telling you to study for the test.

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

This quote is saying that when you are in a situation where you have to decide about something you should always make the right decision. Whether you have to choose something you don’t like or you do it is always best to choose the right one. If you choose something that is not right it will turn out bad for you. For example if you are doing a class project and you have to do it with a group of people, but the people you want to work with always goof around you have to choose the right decision and work with people you know will help you. When you make a decision you have to make sure it will benefit you and you will know you do something right. If you choose your group of friends then maybe they won’t help you or they are always talking. When you make decisions make sure they don’t bring consequences or make you look bad. Also make sure that if you work with other people that everyone has to do something and put effort into it.

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

This quote is saying that when you do something wrong nothing good or bad will come back to you. When you do bad stuff only you suffer the consequences because of what you did. The only thing you’ll gain is people drifting away from you because of the things you are doing. For example, if you go out with your friends and your parents tell you to get back at a certain time but you decide to stay with your friends then you are gaining anything. The only thing you are going to gain is your parents not trusting you. When you know you have to do something then you have to do it otherwise if you don’t obey then you’ll suffer the consequences. Some people don’t care what they do so they decide to always do bad stuff because nothing is going to happen to them. At the end something bad will come to you because of all the bad stuff you did. You always have to do what is right that way good things come back to you. Something is gained when you do what’s right but not when it’s wrong.

“It's a great moment when someone has character to set up and do at the right time.”’

This quote is saying that when someone is in a position where they are being how they are at it’s best it’s a good moment because others get to see how they are. When others get to see how you really are then they get to know you better. For example, if you meet someone but they look like they are mean so you decide not to talk to them, you're being ignorant and just saying to yourself that there mean. You have to talk to the person first in order to see how they really are. Some people know when to act good at the right time but others don’t care or don’t know when to act in good character so they act normal or in way that they don’t care. When someone is in there best character you could see it and you know when someone is. Sometimes it’s hard for people to be in good character bu for some it’s really easy. It just depends on how you are and how you interact with others.

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 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 responsibility for your actions.

These ten commandments are basically telling us to be good people and to do what is right. It’s stating that people should always be the best as they can be and show that you are respectful. I think some of these commandments should be done by people because it is better to be yourself than to fake and be a good person. Whenever you see someone that needs help whether it’s a homeless or just someone that is sad you should go and help them because maybe by talking to them you can make there day. When you help out and you're kind to other people you feel good about yourself because you know you did something good and positive. I think these commandments are good for people to know because that way if they know them then maybe people can change or they can share with their friends or family. When good things occur that turns into a better thing and it's a cycle that never ends for those who are willing to be good people. Some people are selfish or greedy so they decide to be like that with others, that is what makes others think that sometimes it's not worth being nice or a good person because some don’t appreciate that. That shouldn’t matter what should matter is you knowing that you're a good person and you want others to be happy.

“A promise must never be broken”- Alexander Hamilton

This quote is saying that something you promise to do , you must not break it because if you do then it will affect you and the person you made the promise with. A promise is something that is made between two or more individuals and a promise may not seem important but it is. It can mean many things, it can mean that you have a very strong bond with someone or that you can trust someone else. If a promise is broken i don’t think those people are people you can trust because if you guys made a promise and it wasn’t kept like that then it wasn’t really one. When someone really keeps a promise you can see when they do and they show it. For example if you made a promise with your best friend to never do drugs and they do it behind your back then that's not being trustworthy. They could've just been straight up and told you but they decided to do it behind you back then that's not being honest. A trustworthy person is someone who is always there for you and is always honest with you. There's not many people like that now a days but those who are they are good people. When a promise is made it should stay as one.

CTR Project

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails”- Henry David Thoreau

This quote is saying that doing good never fails no matter what you do because you could do good wherever you are and whenever you want. As long as you invest your time in it that is what matters.  If you invest your time in something that is going to do good you or to other people then you should do a good job on it and put effort into it. If you choose to invest your time in good stuff then you are doing something right and good for yourself. Being good is always going to be a good thing if you make it a good thing. If you want something to be good but you don't put the time and effort to make it right then it won’t benefit you. You have to try to make stuff good otherwise no one will do it for you. For example, if you are trying to do something nice for your friends birthday but you wait until last minute to do it then your plan won’t turn out as well as you wanted it. You weren't being or doing something good to make it good, you did it but you didn’t put time in it so it could turn out the right way. It’s always best to invest your time and energy in the good stuff that way you know what’s good and what’s wrong.

“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.”

This quote is saying that decisions are made because you want to, they are made because it is the right thing to do. He is saying that the decisions you make are the decisions that are right. Not all decisions we make are right but if we make the right ones then they will be. They are not made because it’s something that could just be ignored or because everyone makes decisions. They are made for people to make the right choices and be successful in life or in any situation you are in. People who make the right decisions are the people who are going to be happy with what they have and with what they have succeeded with. For example if you are trying to decide whether or not to go out with some friends that you really don’t trust but you want to go, you have to make the right decision. If you don't really trust them then you shouldn’t go because you don’t know what could happen or what they could do. It’s better to not go and to be safe and sure that nothing will happen and you won’t have to worry about something happening. Decisions are made to make you life successful and to find the path you want to take.

No i don't think i would like to be one because i already know what i would like to be in the future.

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound (not good).”

This quote is saying that we should make sure only the good stuff have to influence and the bad stuff should stay in a place where someone doesn't interact with it. We should be able to put the good stuff out there and show people that being good is not a bad or dumb thing even if some people think it is. People who are good are most successful and get to where they want to be. That is why some people who are good are willing to influence other who are starting to go the wrong way. The people who do bad don’t really get nowhere in life because of the way they act and are in general. We should only focus on being good people for ourselves and for the people around us. That way if someone is wanting to be bad we could help them be good again and be successful, because that is what good people do help others. Those who are not willing to help and be selfish are not considered good people because they want to keep it to themselves and only worry about themselves. Good people should become more popular that way they have another path to success and accomplish many things. Those who are doing good should help those who aren’t and make the population of good people grow bigger to show that there is good people in the world.

School Break Days

For spring break i went to Starbucks, the habit, and to the fair. I hung out with my cousins and went out to shop or eat. I watched a new show that came out, it is called “13 reasons why”. I worked on an essay for physics, IXL for math class and other homework assignments for other classes. I also went to this coffee place that is called tierra mia with my cousin and hung out with her friend. I stayed home and watched Netflix and ate chips with my nephew and sister. I watched the movie “My friend the Giant” i didn't watch it before and it was my first time watching it with my sister. I watched the dodger game not live but on tv, and i think they won so that was good. For Easter i ate posole and hid eggs with my family for my little cousins and nephews. I experienced a lady that had done a good thing for me. I was at the fair and i dropped my iPod but i did not notice and the lady that was walking the opposite direction told me i had dropped it. If it wasn’t for her i probably wouldn’t have my ipod right now.

“I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. I must stand with  anybody straight right, and stand with him while he is right, and part him when he goes wrong.”

This quote is saying that it doesn’t matter if you win it matters if you're honest and that whoever you stand with is doing right but if they begin to be in bad steps then you are going to have to leave them. Whether you're competing or something it doesn't matter if you it matters that you play fairly and have fun. If you have a best friend or a girl/boy friend and you are doing good with them but then one of you guys begin to be doing bad stuff then it's better to leave. It is better to leave them because then you won’t have to deal with getting in trouble or getting into problems because of them. Sometimes if you have someone that is beginning to do bad you don’t want to leave them because you want to help them do better and you want to be able to care for them and work things out. For example if your best friend starts to do drugs or start ditching school and you don’t want them to influence you do it but you still want to help them, then you should talk to them and try to help them. If you don't see a change in them then it’s best to just leave and let them do them because at the end of the day they are the ones messing up and you're not. Some people are really competitive and they like to win everything but it’s not always about winning. It’s about doing what you like to do and enjoying it because one day you aren’t going to be able to do that. You should always be humble and stick to being fair and honest to yourself and to others and not just think about yourself. When you begin to start dealing with toxic people it’s better to just leave them and go on with your life, because everyone deserves to be happy.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

This quote is saying that who you are is more important that you knowledge. Someone who is smart doesn’t mean that they have the best attitude or personality. You have to show your character by being who you really are. If someone says that they're nice and kind but they don’t show it then that doesn’t mean they are. Some people say good stuff about themselves just to look good and for people to say good stuff about them. For example, if you are meeting someone new and they tell you that they have a good personality but they act mean, then they’re just lying to look good. In order to be who you say you are you have to act that way and show others that you aren’t fake just to look good. Some people that are smart like to show off their knowledge and they are cocky about it. Those kind of people are people who want everyone to think that they are the best and they like attention in my opinion. Some people are smart but they don’t show it off to look good, some are even nice and have a nice personality.

“I trust that my hard work will pay off.”

This quote is saying that what you work hard for at the end it will all be worth it. If you work hard for what you do or what you want it will all be worth it at the end because the work you did has a meaning to it. If you want something in return of what you do then you have to put effort in it. Otherwise it won’t turn out the way you want because you didn’t try. Someone who wants to work hard is going to do the work it requires. If you don’t want to work hard but you want something in return then it’s not going to go that way. In order for something to go back to you you have to work for it. For example if you want your parents to buy you a phone, you have to work for it. You have to obey what they say and respect them. If you don’t do that then you shouldn’t expect something in return. Everything has to be worked for, even if you don't want to you have to, you aren’t going to get something good in return if you don’t do anything for it.

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right”

This quote is saying that the freedom and independence you have is based on you doing what is right. If you do something right on your own then that’s having freedom because you know what you are doing and what is right and what is wrong. If you believe that you can be independent and you deserve freedom then you should know you limits. For example, if you are already old enough to go out with your  friends, and you just leave the house without having to tell your parents that you're going out you should still tell you parents. You have to know what is right and you won’t have to worry about them being worried about where you are or who you are with. You also have to be in charge of what you are going to be doing or who you are going to be with. If you don’t know if what you're going to do is going to turn out well then you should just leave it for another day. Even though you have freedom and you are all on your own you should still be watching what you are doing because you never know what could happen or where you will end up. If you do what is right and choosing the right choices then you are responsible for your own self.

“They’re only truly great who are truly good.”

This quote is saying that only if you are a good person you are a great person. If you are a good person the other people must like you because of the way you are. People like to see nice people and like to see others respected just like how they want to be respected. If you want to be a great person then you have to earn to be a good person otherwise you will think you are a great person but maybe you’re really not. Those who are willing to help and be kind to other people are good people. Those are considered good people because they want to see everyone be happy and be kind to others. If you are one of those then you are doing good, you’re treating others like how you want to be treated. For example if you say  you are going to go to the market for your mom to get what she needs for she won't have to go but later you decide not to go because you didn’t feel like it, that’s not being a good person. In order to feel like you did something right you have to do what was going to be right. Just because you said it doesn't mean you are a good person.
