Final: Part 1

There are many things that I really liked about this class. It is hard to name all of them but here are some of them choosing the right, student success statements, free time, life planning goals, being excited to learn, learning to type fast and accurately, and being trusted. I can’t name anything that I dint like about this class. There is one thing which is the people in my class because some of them are very disrespectful. Some things I would recommend in order to improve the class are given more free time, let people use their earphones in order to relax and write their quotes of the day, have funny quotes, change up the class a little to make it even more fun, and share one life planning goal from a student a day. I think I really did my best in this class because I really worked hard to get everything done on time and correctly. I really do read my life planning goals every single day and even extra time if I have free time throughout my day. I love my life planning goals book because it shows me how to get stuff done and not forget about anything. I am committed to being a CTR person although it is really hard I always try my best to always choose the right not matter what consequences there would be. I will always remember that choosing the right is always the right way to go no matter what will come your way. 

Student success statement

CHOOSE THE RIGHT

The Ultimate Choice

Of all the choices you will ever make, on choice supersedes all others-the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make correct decisions. This is one choice, The Ultimate Choice, is your keystone to being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is:

To be a CTR person-to always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Reflection: this is very impacting to many lives because this is a lifestyle and a decision. When you choose to be a CTR person then you are committed to always choosing the right no matter what gets in your way. You will always do the right thing and you will be the best. When you finally decide to choose the right and live this lifestyle then you can’t go back because then you will be considered weak. Even so once you choose the right then you will never want to go back you will stay a CTR person forever. 

Student Success Statement

“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.

Student Success Statement

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.

Student Success Statement

“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. 

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. 

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.

Student Success Statement

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. 

Student success statement

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. 

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.

Student success statement

“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. 

Student success statement

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

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: this is very true because if you do the right then only good things would come to you. If you don’t know what to do during that decision then chances are you are going to choose the wrong because if you knew what to do during that decision then you wouldn't have trouble and you would choose the right. No matter what is going on always go for the right thing because then nothing bad will happen to you. For example if you broke a window by accident be straight forward and say you broke it. Then sooner or later that lie that you told while choosing the wrong will come back to you and it is not going to feel good. 

Life Planning Progress Post

                I read my life planning book every day for an hour. I enjoy reading my life planning book because those are things that I will achieve one day. Today I did have my life planning book like I do every day. My plans for this life planning book are to write down as many goals as possible and accomplish every single one of them. I will go through anything and work hard so that I have many accomplished goals from my book. So far I have only written 115 sadly but I plan to write so much more. From my 115 goals I have accomplished 25. The reason I have only accomplished so little is because most are my goals are in the future that I can’t do now. My plan is to write more short term goals that way I can accomplish them sooner instead of later and have more victories in my book. I am very proud of how many goals I have written down but I wish I could accomplish more goals in the near future. One special goal that I have written in my book is to become a CTR person and I am trying to do this with little baby steps that I am starting to take. Some of my goals are silly but most are very serious and require lots of courage, stability, and confidence. I know one day I will have 500 goals in my book and 400 of them will be accomplish before I pass on to the heavens. 

A doctor that helps

                Dr. Bob is a doctor that only helps and does nothing more. What Dr. Bob does is well clearly he is a doctor. He lives in a terrible neighborhood where no one dares to leave there stuff outside at all. He invites people with care and happiness to his home so they can get a check up to see if anything is wrong with them. He charges no money at all it’s just his love and care that he has. All the money he does earn is donations from anyone who give it to him. Normally he doesn’t keep the donations to himself instead he gets the money and spends it on his costumers to make them happy. He is a very great man and he will go to heaven because he does so much good. 

Student success statement

“Make each day your masterpiece. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better, and over a period of time you become a lot better.”

John Wooden, UCLA

Reflection: I agree with this quote, you have to make your life better every day no matter what is going on. The reason for this is because you have to live life to your fullest and the only way to do that is to not let anything get in your way. You have to say wow I had a great day yesterday every day you need to repeat that and if you didn't one day make up for it the next day.

Western Oregon VS. Central Washington

                Here we saw the most incredible thing ever. We saw two girls named Liz and Mallory help an injured girl named Sara from the opposite team make her first home run. Let me tell you with a summary. This girl named Sara had never made a home run ever of all her days playing Softball. One day they were playing against Central Washington and she was going to make her first home run all she had to do is run all around the bases. As she run to first base she hurt herself really badly on her right foot. She crawled to first place but it hurt so much that she couldn't move at all once she reached the first base. Then everyone got stuck they couldn't believe what they has seen. The couch of Western Oregon asked the empire if she could help her but it would cost her some points. So the couch stayed put in shocked. Then a girl from the opposite team asked the empire if she could carry Sara all around the base to make a home run and the empire said yes. This girl’s name was Mallory after Mallory went to help another girl named Liz also came to help. Everyone in the crowd was happy with tears of joy. This was a very memorable day. While Mallory and Liz were carrying her around they told her, “you hit the ball over the fence you deserve this home run.” And with this we end our story of how good people in this world are.

Do the right thing at the right time

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

Pam Knox

Reflection: this is very true. I agree because when you do the right thing then you are choosing the right. When you chose the right then you get good things in return and only good things. This is why you always have to do the right thing and never the wrong thing. When you did the wrong thing cover it by doing the right thing and admitting that you did the wrong thing. This will help people forgive you more and you will feel better.
