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

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: This really impacts me in many different ways. I just couldn’t be live how true it is because if you don’t have a goal then where are you going. For example if you are driving in a freeway and don’t know where to go you’re just going to keep driving with no exit or knowledge of a place that you should plan to go to. This is exactly the same with a boat if it doesn’t have this necessary rudder then they will just go crazy or even sink because this little thing is what keeps the boat moving and going in certain direction.

BEAUTIFUL 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

Reflection: this is very true because it is like a dominal affect. This means that when one thing happens then everything starts to set into place and everything will go good. 

“The Six Pillars of Character”

The six pillars of character consist of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. The first on which is blue trustworthiness means to not steal, lie, or cheat. In this pillar you must be reliable and honest. For example if someone is counting on you to bring a baseball to the game in order to play have the first pillar of character trustworthiness. The second pillar of character is yellow respect this means to not threaten, hit, or hurt anyone. In this pillar you must treat others with respect and acceptance. For example always follow the golden rule treat others the way you want to be treated. The third pillar of character is green responsibility this means to always be having self-control, make good actions, and plan ahead. For example of you are going to a party always plan what time you are getting there, what you are and are not going to do, and plan what time are you leaving. The fourth pillar of character is orange fairness this means to never take advantage of others and don’t blame them for what they didn’t do. In this pillar you must play by the rules, be opened minded, and listen to others. The fifth pillar of character is red caring this means to always help people, be kind, and forgive others. The sixth and final pillar is purple citizenship this means to always obey the rules and laws, get involved in your community, and stay informed. I believe that the six pillars of character should always be followed and respected. Also that people should read more about the six pillars of character so that they can better the person who they already are.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

Sophocles

Reflection: This is very true because why cheat when you are not good at something. You really don’t get anything out of it. Sure you get a trophy and rewards but how is that going to help you. It is just going to eat you away. The guilt you have will never go away. For example if you use drugs to win a race then that is cheating. All you get out of that is showing everyone that you are not a fast runner but that you have to use something bad to help you run. Instead of showing people that you aren’t good at a certain thing and that you need something to help you. Why not show people that you are truly good at a certain thing and that you don’t need anything to help you because all you used is hard work and dedication. 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a very important day that many people need to recognize and they do. Memorial Day is a day in which we honor those who serve in the military because without them we would be powerless. We also remember those who died while fighting for our nation. We basically just thank and honor everyone who was in the army and are still in the army. This is to honor those who died in the military. Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May. There are many ways you show honor and respect on Memorial Day. Some of these ways are collection for troops, discounts and free offers, volunteering, highlight soldiers, stories, and parades. What I do to honor Memorial Day is thank my sister’s husband and all his friends. The reason I do this is because my sister’s husband is in the navy and of course so are his friends. They are very polite and not as strict as people make them out to be. Even though I can’t see them every day because they live in San Diego I still call them on special occasions and of course always on Memorial Day. his name is Scott Frable and i will always honor the way he fights for our country. i would always honor his best friend Terry because he is on duty and in a ship in the middle of the sea.  

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.”

Dan Dierdorf

Reflection: this is true because if all you do is the right thing and things will come to you and you wouldn't have to ask for anything in return. When you do the right you are always happy and never mad. This is just the good part of choosing the right all the time everything goes good and you are going to be good. 

Student Success Statement

GOOD VALUES

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

Dennis Prager

Reflection: some good values that I have are my manners, my home, and my traditions. These are important because is something you should stand by no matter what other people tell you. people tend to go with what they feel instead of going for what the value. they do this because they don't have values or they just want to feel good. for example some one who steals would rather have the thing they want and be happy than support their values and stick by them. 

Optician

Duties and Responsibilities: Dispensing opticians help fit eyeglasses and contact lenses, following prescriptions from ophthalmologist and optometrists. They also help customers decide which eyeglass frames or contact lenses to buy. Opticians typically do the following: Receive customers’ prescriptions for eyeglasses or contact lenses, measure customers’ eyes, such as the distance between their pupils, help customers choose eyeglass frames and lens treatments, such as eye-wear for occupational use or sports, tints or anti-reflective coatings, based on their vision needs style preferences, create work orders for ophthalmic laboratory technicians, providing information about the lenses needed, adjust eye-wear to ensure fit, repair or replace broken eyeglass frames and perform business tasks, such as maintain sales records, keeping track of customers’ prescriptions, and ordering and maintain inventory.

Salary: $21,030-$52,740

Education: Opticians typically have a high school diploma or equivalent and learn job skills through on-the-job training. Training includes technical instruction in which, for example, a new optician measures a customer’s eyes or adjusts frames under the supervision of an experienced optician. Trainees also learn sales and office management practices. Some opticians complete an apprenticeship, which typically takes at least 2 years. About half of the states require opticians to be licensed. Licensure usually requires completing formal education through an approved program or completing an apprenticeship. In addition, opticians must pass one or more exams to be licensed. The optician licensing board in each state can supply information on licensing requirements.

Reflection: I would become this because I have glasses and I would like to help other people who also need glasses.

Student Success Statement

NOTHING

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

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection: This is true although sometimes people who do bad get money or a reward in the inside they gain nothing. They gain nothing because they are sad and the guilt is just eating away at their soul because they can never undo that bad choice. For example when someone does something right they are happy and filled with joy and they want to spread that join wherever they go. While when they make a bad choice they are sad and don’t know what to do all they are is grumpy and mean.

An Internal Phenomenon

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: Self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Reflection: This is true. I would say that when you do good you feel great but when you do bad you feel terrible. For example sometimes people get paid for doing wrong like stealing or killing someone. Once they do that wrong and receive money or materialistic things, they can’t help but to feel terrible inside sort of like the guilt is eating them away. When a person does something good they already feel great so there is no need for receiving a prize of any sort. If they do receive a prize they most likely won’t want it because they don’t need it when they already feel good.

STAND ALONE!!!

“Dare to stand alone.”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: This is a very strong and true quote. What this is basically telling you is that you should stand for what is right and what you believe in even if it means standing alone. I couldn't put this any better words because I follow this as well I stand for what I want and believe in even if it means that I have to stand alone. I would like to dare anyone and everyone to do the same because if everyone starts doing this then we would have less violence and rimes. For the reason that everyone would choose the right and not the wrong. 

Nursing Home Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities: The Nursing Home Administrator Program (NHAP) is governed by the Health and Safety Code Sections 1416 through 1416.84 and must assure that the health, safety, security, and rights of the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) and Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) residents are safeguarded by setting standards for licensing of Nursing Home Administrators (NHAs), administering a training program for NHAs, testing and issuing licenses, and administering an enforcement program for disciplinary action against NHAs.

Salary: $80-206-$122,853. The minimum wage is $99,566.

Education: Being a nursing home administrator requires a minimum of a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration. However, most nursing home administrators have master's degrees in long-term care administration, health services administration, public health or business administration. Professional degrees in healthcare management are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). The organization's website lists qualifying programs by state. A typical program may result in a Master of Science in Health Administration degree. Courses may focus on business skills, such as leadership, marketing, operations management, organizational behavior and financial affairs as they relate to healthcare. Students also learn about health law, healthcare information systems and medical statistics.

Reflection: I wouldn't like to be in this job field because it is not the right thing for me. I believe that this is very boring and I wouldn't want to sit on a desk all day while taking calls. Also to would like to study for something else that wouldn't have me sit in a desk with office. I do like to help the elderly and take care of them but not in this way because her you really don’t get much action. All you do is take calls and make sure everyone has a room and they are comfortable. 

Forgiveness

Prisoner: Eric Smallridge

Girls: Megan and Lisa

Megan’s Mother: Renee

                In this video we saw forgiveness and how strong it could be. This guy named Eric went to jail for over the limit drunk driving and killing two girls named Megan and Lisa. The judge gave him 20 years in prison and Renee the mother of Megan and Lisa thought this was fair and justice had been served. The thing that surprised everyone was the forgiveness in this that happened. Renee was interviewed and asked why she did this. What Renee did was very good she sent a letter to the judge to release Eric because she forgives him. She told the interviewers that she did this because she couldn’t live in peace while not forgiving him and holding a grudge. She knew she did the right and thing and Eric was released from jail early. He did not spend 20 years in jail. Eric thanked her with all his heart and promises that he will never drink again. He now goes to random schools and encourages them to never drink alcohol. This teaches us a lesson and that lesson it to always forgive. The lesson was not to ever drink alcohol. This lesson is to shows us to never hold a grudge against anyone because then you will not live your life in peace. You need to let everything go and forgive so you have a brighter future and let go of the past and make your future the best one there is.

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

Alan Paton

Forgive: to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for and offense, flaw, or mistake

Reflection: This is very true because what he is trying to say is to not hold a grudge. When you hold a grudge then you don’t live your life in peace. The reason for this is because all you think about is this problem that you have and how you will never forgive them. Also how you will try to keep it out of your life because of how bad it is and how you hate it and will never forgive that person. In reality you are not forgetting anything or anyone because you still think about it every day because it haunts you and all you can do is think about that grudge. The only way you will be able to free yourself from this is if you forgive. 

Navy

Duties and Responsibilities: for me as a female, in the navy there is no discrimination and everything and everyone is equal. Sailors work on passenger ships, freighters, and tanker ships. A sailor navigates sea-going vessels and assists with the maintenance, operation, and service of these vessels. The term sailor was derived from the fact that all water-borne vessels were once powered by sails. Now the term encompasses all types of vessels, no matter how they are powered. Today, sailors may work for the military or private companies in all aspects of marine employment. A sailor is responsible for the water-borne vessel as a whole. Whether they are navigating, on the deck crew, or in maintenance, their responsibilities can vary. During the docking procedure or before departure, they are responsible for examining and securing the mooring lines. They are also responsible for the general cleaning of the decks and the routine maintenance. They must be well-versed in fire safety and firefighting methods. They are often called upon to perform duties that utilize welding and carpentry skills. During the sailing expedition, they are responsible for navigating and watching while at sea. They must follow all orders given to them by their captain on duty. As they gain more experience, their responsibilities will increase. Most eventually learn all of the aspects of sailing and vessel maintenance and operation

Salary: full time pay for a sailor depends on the amount of years you have been in the navy. Basically this ranges from $1,546.80-$2,580.60.This also depends on your ranking.

Education: to join the navy you really don’t need any education. Only the basics of it like you three schools elementary, middle, and high school. You would have to accomplish all of these.

Reflection: this is I believe the only job I would like to really do besides becoming a culinary artist. I would really like to be a part of the navy and serve and protect my country.
