Class Evaluation

Some things I like about this class is that we do student success statements and we watch videos. I wouldn't want to make any changes. This class has taught me how to use all the tools that the computers can offer us. In the same way thanks to this class i know how to save documents and transports it to place from place. Yea I do believe i do my best in this class, I try to focus and explain my thought well when we do student success statement. I also finish on time assignments that are given out or assigned. To add on, yes I'm ready for Life planning Goals Journals for five minutes because i make sure i bring my journal everyday with me and i report in my report page. I also make sure to write in my goals journal everyday when i have a chance to do so. Yes, I'm committed to be a CTR person because  I know if i always choose to the right I'm going to be on the road to success. Being a CTR person is knowing whats right and whats wrong. It is that one person who will stand alone even when the whole world is against her/him. I am ready too be that person! The reason why is because i believe that if you always choose the right your going to be successful in life as well as happy. :)

Student Success Statement: “ When you tell one lie, it leads to another.”

Reflection: What I think Paul Hatch meant by this quote is that there is never just one lie. Like Mr.Haymore said once you say one lie you  have to keep saying more lies to cover up the first one you said. To add on, we all have master the art of lying ,meaning even if we lie one time we sure to lie again because we see how easy it is to lie. For instance once we lie it is very hard not to say another lie after that, and even if we didn’t want to we have to...because if you say a lie and you are about to get caught you have to keep lying that way you can cover up the first lie you said. I’ve come to realize that when you lie, that lie will catch up to you sooner or later.

The Sting of the Scorpion    

By:Patrick Kearon

What technically happened in this short clip was how a family was camping in a desert and the parents would always tell their son to wear shoes when he gets up. However the son disobeyed and went wandering in the desert without shoes and he got stung  by a scorpion. What i learned from this video is that if you disobey bad things will happen, in this case the boy got stung by a scorpion. I also learned that if your parents tell you not to do something it is for a reason,and we shouldn’t question them.

Student Success Statement: “ Always do right.”

Reflection:What I think this reflection means is that no matter what you should always do the right thing.Even if doing so could have major consequences for yourself. The reason why I believe this is, because if you do the right thing you will have a clean conscious. Meaning you won’t have to worry  about anything knowing you did the right thing. For instance let’s say you go to a park and you see a homeless person looking for food in the trash and you have a lot of food with you at the time. The wrong thing to do would be to do nothing. On the other hand the right thing to do is offer him some food. This simple act of kindness and compassion is worth millions.To add on, knowing that their are a lot of people and kids on the streets that are starving and not doing anything is the wrong thing to do. After all you don’t lose anything by giving away a meal to someone in need.

Student Success Statement: “ It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

Reflection: What i think this quote means is that it’s better to be alone and make good decisions, rather than be with bad company and be influenced to make bad decisions. In the same way being alone is better because that way you make all your decisions based if you know it’s right or wrong to do so. I also think this quote means that even if the whole world is on one side and you know it’s for a bad/wrong reason, you should be able to say no even if you are standing alone.

Challenges Teens Face Today

Reflection: Teens face several challenges today such as depression, drug use, eating disorder, bullying,and addiction to social media.However,I’m not saying that all challenges we face are bad. For example two of my biggest challenge would be keeping up my grades, and choosing a career. It’s hard to keep my grades at a 4.0 GPA...but i know as long as i do all my homework, study before a test, finish all my projects/assignments i will be fine. On the other hand, as in my career i need to focus on fields that i would be interested in. The way i can help people who are facing challenges such as depression would be by talking to them that way they won’t feel like their alone in the world..I would also give them advice and make sure to help them out. If someone would be getting bullied i would stand up for them even if i didn’t know that person. The reason why would be because i know for a fact that if i were to be getting bullied i would want someone to stand up for me. In short being a CTR person is important, because you can determine what’s good and what’s bad.

Physical Fitness
Student Success Statement: ‘’Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”      -President John F. Kennedy

Reflection: I agree with this quote because in order to have a healthy mind you have to have a healthy body.For example if i don’t get enough sleep that could affect my learning by not being able to concentrate class.To add on, i need to stop eating too much junk food, get enough sleep, exercise daily,eat healthy, reduce my screaning time( T.V)...that way I will be able to have a healthy mind and body. In the same way exercising daily can be really good for you because you can developeskills, and like the quote says,”intelligence and skill can only function when the body is healthy and strong.” That is really true because your not going to be able to focus and think clearly if you don’t sleep nor exercise.

Reflection: No, I wouldn’t want to become a health liberian, because i want to focus either in becoming a surgeon or in a field that goes in criminal justice.

Reflection:

For thanksgiving all my family came together. We all agreed to go to my Tia’s house. I met family members i didn’t even know i had.When our family came together, some of my cousins from Sinaloa and Mexico came along. Although my whole thanksgiving week i was doing homework and projects that were assigned for my classes, i can honestly say it was a good week. On Friday morning my mom, dad, sisters, and myself went shopping for black Friday. We tried to go early because it gets really packed with people since everything is more than half% off.In the same way on thanksgiving my mom and sister went to the super market to buy everything for the thanksgiving dinner.They usually make many dishes such as tamales, pozole,spagetti, pasta alfredo , turkey, and aside from that deserts. For the desserts my cousins and i were in charge of making two cakes ...and my mom had made jello the day before. We also had many games for kids and later on when everyone finished eating we started to dance since we had loud speakers playing music.

Veterans  Day is the first anniversary of the end of World War I. It has become  a national holiday celebrated on Nov.11.  In the same way Veterans Day is a public holiday that is dedicated to honor anyone who has served in the United States Military. The holiday began as a day to remember the end of World War I and was turned into a holiday by President Woodrow in 1919. Many of you may ask yourself,"why is it important to celebrate Veterans Day?" The reason why is to show respect for those who were willing to give up their lives to the country. In my opinion Veterans Day is important to me because it is a time to recognize and honor or pay respect to those who served this country.

     

                

Student Success Statement : "These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity.''

1) Have the courage to say no.
2)Have the courage to face the truth.
3)Do the right thing because it is right.

Reflection: What i think this quote means is that in order to live a happy and peaceful life you have to be honest and truthful to yourself. Meaning you have to know when something is right or wrong, and if it's wrong than you should be able to say no to it. To add on integrity isn't just a word its a moral principal. It is when someone is always honest never lies, chooses the right every time etc...
For instance if someone offers you weed or any type of drug, someone that has integrity would say no because that's the right thing to do. To live with integrity it's really not much but know when something is wrong, be able to say no to it, and always be truthful to yourself.

Student Success Statement:” The best recreation is to do good.”

Reflection: What i think William Penn meant by this quote is that something you should enjoy doing is doing good.Doing good should be something you would want to do more than go hiking, playing soccer, basketball, volleyball etc… The reason why is because you should enjoy and want to be good to other.In the same way doing something good/nice for someone else should be something you  do daily.I also think this qoute means that theirs nothing better than to do good and feel good everyday.

Student Success Statement:” Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”

Reflection:What i think William Penn meant by this quote is that making a bad choice is never okay!..Yes, everyone might be for it but that doesn’t make it right or good. For instance let’s say your friends are all going to ditch school the next day and they want you to go with them, of course the wrong thing to do would be to say yes so they won’t think you are not cool. On the other hand the right thing to do would be to say no even if they get mad at you, because you have to be able to determine right from wrong.I’m not saying you can’t have fun and go out with your friends but you do have to limit yourself and know what is bad decision.  Another example would be smoking. Let’s  say one day your friend comes to your house and he is smoking and he tells you if you want to try it...The right thing to do would be to say NO!, because even if everyone is smoking weed or getting high that doesn’t mean you should do it too. The reason why is because you should be able to determine and see that smoking weed can affect your health in negative way. Don’t be a follower ….CTR ALWAYS!!!

Student Success Statement:” Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want and see it often.”

Reflection: What i think Peter Vidmar meant by this quote is that opportunities don’t come around twice. In the same way I believe this quote means that if you throw your dream for something that isn’t permanent it’ a waste of time. For example let’s say your goal is recive a A+ for your Math class before your permanent report card  and you know you are going to have a huge test the next day, and you decide to go out with your friends instead of staying home to study. You just throw away your goal for something that wasn’t worth it, because you can always go out with your friends some other day but  you won’t be able to change your grade to an A+.

                      School Homecoming

Homecoming is the tradition of welcoming back former students and celebrating a school’s existence. Homecoming is a time to celebrate the school you are attending, and after you graduate you come back to see your old friends. In the same way homecoming usually centers around a football game.

Activities? For example Linda Marquez High School (HPIAM) has a spirit week before the homecoming football game. On Monday is was pj’s, meaning you could bring your pj’s to school. Then it was Tropical Tuesday etc.. Many schools have homecoming activities before the homecoming game.

Reflection: In my opinion homecoming is pretty cool, because you get to celebrate the school you attend. Also because the school throw cool activities like the homecoming dance and spirit week before the Homecoming game.  In the same way homecoming is a good experience to just meet up with your friends and have fun and to show school spirit.

A Good Name     

Student Success Statement: ‘’ A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life.’’

Reflection: In my opinion i think this quote means that making a good name for yourself is far way more valuable. Yes, achieving accomplishments is really important and good, but the one thing people are going to know you for would be  your name. That’s why making a good name for yourself and to  have others know you because of it is the biggest accomplishment in your life. Another reason why i believe having a good name is better than any accomplishment is because knowing you did good in your life by choosing  the right and became a great human being is wonderful. Like my quote says, ‘’ A good name will shine forever.’’Meaning no matter what having a good name will forever follow you and will never be forgotten.

Global Opportunities: Careers in other countries

• FBI agents work in Washington D.C on different cases.
• The Netherlands, Australia, United States, and Canada are great places to become a doctor because you get paid more.
• If you want to become a lawyer China, Germany, France, and United States get paid more.

Reflection: You can pretty much settle into whatever career you choose anywhere. In the same way you also have to see what countries offer you more and where you get paid more. For example if you choose to focus your career in criminal justice and you want to be FBI agent you would have to go to Washington D.C, because you work on all the cases their. You also have to see what counties benefits you more either where help is needed the most or where you get paid more.

                                          Choosing a good name

Student Success Statement: ‘’ A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.’’

Reflection: What i think this quote means is that making a good name of yourself is far way more important than money. The reason why is because your name is going to follow you for your rest of your life, and you will be known for your name. For example what Mr. Haymore said, ‘’If you become a CTR person you will be know as a good and hard working student.’’ Meaning whatever you do you are going to be known for that. In the same way i also believe this quote means that making a good person out of you is far way more valuable. After all it’s not the name that is important but the person behind the name.

Right

Student Success Statement: ‘’ If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong,you be the one to make a stand for the right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.’’

Reflection: What i think Thomas S. Monson meant by this quote is that you have to learn to say NO! When it comes to doing something you know is bad. Meaning you have to stand up for the right thing even if everyone is against you. For example let’s say all your friends are smoking weed and they offer you so that you can try it, you have to say no, because even though all your friends are doing it doesn’t mean you should. In the same way this quote simply means that you should always stand up for what you think is wrong.

Reflection: The reason why i choose to learn more towards this career is, because at some point i was thinking about focusing on this career because i love animals. In my opinion i really like this profession because I’m technically getting payed to be with animals and to take care of them. On the other hand this is something i would like to do as well as becoming a heart surgeon.

CTR CHAMPION

Student success statement : ‘’ A CTR campion is a person who makes a great human out of himself.’’

Reflection: What I think this quote means is  that a person who is  always chooses the right, someone who isn’t selfish, and someone who always does the right no matter if it may or may not cause problems for himself/herself  is what makes you a great human being. In the same way being a basketball, soccer, baseball player etc.. doesn’t make  you a winner nor a champion if you aren’t a CTR person yourself. In my opinion this quote simply means that you will never truly lose if you chose the right at all time. Being a CTR person is what makes you a great person and takes you to the path for success.

Student Success statement:’’Goal setting is goals setting. Set and get.’’

Reflection: What i think Mark Victor Hansen meant by that quote is that there are only two steps to accomplish a goal. Which is to set a goal and to accomplish it. I also think this quote means that if you set your mind to do something and you persevere you can be assure your going to achieve it. After all that’s the whole point of setting a goal to never give up and to have your mind set on something for the future. For example let’s say you want to raise your grade for math from a B to an A, and you fail at first. That’s okay because you will keep trying until you do. Setting and doing is all about determination.

Columbus Day

Who is Christopher Columbus?..Christopher Columbus was an explorer, navigator,and a colonizer. He is known as the first european explorer to discover the Americas when he landed in the late 1492. In the same way he discovered the New World.While him and his crew were sailing west in order to find a route to Asia to improve trading access, he landed on the east coast of North America.He was also considered a hero because he traveled to the New World and launched many expeditions and migrations. All the money brought back to Europe gave him the status of a Hero.

What is the meaning of Columbus Day?.. It is a holiday (to appreciate) the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492.

Reflection:In my opinion I don’t see why he or still is considered a Hero. Yes, he did discover the New World but I don’t know why that gave him the status of Hero. Don’t get me wrong him and his crew discovering the New World (americas) is an amazing achievement.I can see why the Europeans thought of him as a hero, mainly because he did not only cause the founding of states,Mexico and Canada, but he also set everyone exploring and reshaping the world.

Faust meant by this quote is that when we learn to expect more success than failure in life, we soon will develop an attitude of success.Meaning that when we decide to make our goal obedience it can help us in  life by choosing the right... knowing what's wrong and what's bad. In the same way i think this quote means that if we pay attention, follow all the rules we can be assure that we will have a great future awaiting, because the more you do the faster you will reach the top.
