Class Evaluation --- Mr.Haymore Block 3 Computer Class

1.        Some things I liked about this class was the fact that it relied a    lot on choosing the right and becoming a better person. I think this class made me change a lot about honesty, integrity, and a lot of other personality traits. What I liked about this class also was that it was very unique. Never in my 14 years have I had a class that taught so much about choices and pathways.  
2.        Some this that I did not like about this class it the fact that it has the SAME routine. And that little light appears in the classroom so it makes me sleepy. Also I didn’t like how we sit in the same computer every single time so it makes the class dull. But besides that I really think this class has taught me a lot of wonderful things.
3.        Some recommendations for improving the class would be create more interesting activities to do besides typing tutor, students success statement, and career pathways. However, I am not good at advices or recommendations so I literally don’t know how to improve this class.
4.       A highlight for me in this class was able to relate to some of the quotes we wrote about. I think that somehow those quotes made me think about my mistakes and how I could overpass them. Yet, I haven’t but I think that was my biggest highlight of this class.
5.       For this class, I really think I did do my best for the projects we were assigned to do like the 10 states project and the ctr project. But besides that for every student success statement i tried to really put thought into them and actually express what i feel about them. So yes, I really do think I tried my very best in this class.
6.      Yes, I most of the time read my Life Planning Goals because it is like my agenda, I feel like I feel more organized writing them as a goal than as a “to do” in the school agenda because it motivates me to achieve my goals. Also I sometimes like to mark victory for every goal I achieved so I think the Life Planning Journal was a good idea.
7.     To be honest, I do not know yet if i am committed to being a CTR person, because I always end up making mistakes or fibbing about something I did, because I believe it is better for someone. I also think that no one can truly be committed to be a CTR person because we are not perfect, you can’t say you haven’t lied, or purposely pretending not to see what happened in order not to help someone, or make an excuse just to surpass the situation. However, I do think I try my best every day to be someone I can be proud of and  I make sure I used the day god has granted me with good purposes.

“Honesty”

           

In this situation there was two examples of honesty and hard moments. When it comes to taking tests that will determine our future we, acknowledge that if we don’t pass the test it is the end of the world for us. But what is better, passing the test by cheating or passing the test by working hard and trying your best. Cheating is never a good option, because you are lying not only to the criteria but you are lying to yourself. These medical students pulled out a cheat sheet to pass the test and not retake it again. Although some situations are costly and difficult like medical school cheating on a test would not make you any better than not doing the test, because if they get away with cheating people’s lives would be on their hands. Fortunately there was a brave man who stood up and told them all that he indeed worked hard for a position in that medical school and that he would turn in anyone who he saw cheating. Thanks to him that medical school had many graduate students tha were able to be successful in life.

                     “When you tell One Lie it Leads to Another”        

If you ever told a lie you know what this quote is trying to prove, because when you tell a lie you are not only lying about that 1 thing, you have to make up more lies to cover up that small lie. Even if it was just lie about who ate the last cookie. You obviously would say it was not you, it was your baby brother. Haa that would be funny because what if your baby brother can’t walk you have to make a lie for that reason to. When you make up one lie people start to question if you are trustworthy or not. You start to realize you have less friends and people don’t want to include you in secrets because they think you are a big mouth. When you choose to do the wrong thing there would always be consequences and the truth would eventually come out. The thing is you are only doing the right when you choose to accept your consequences and tell the truth. In my experience saying the truth could be hard because you know that when that truth comes out you would be in big problems, but when that day comes you would be glad you told the truth because you won’t be drown in that guilt you had for so long. However, there is this quote that goes like this “you could choose your sin, but you could not choose your consequences” so whatever you think is bad don’t do it because covering up that mistake with lies would just leave you with remorse.

  The Sting of a Scorpion

                                                                              -Elder Patrick Kearon

In this short memory of Patrick Kearon he talks about a time when he disobeyed his parents on a trip to the Arabian Peninsula.  His mother had told him to always wear shoes when he was going to walk around in the desert sand, but that one time he decided to be rebellious and lazy that he wore his sandals to walk around instead. He was later stung by a scorpion and had to suffer the pain for more than two hours until they got to the hospital. Patrick was fortunate enough that his parents were nearby to carry him and take him to the hospital. But if he had been further away he would of had to suffer more pain and the consequences would of been more severe. This story that Patrick told us teaches us all that Choosing the wrong and being disobedient leads to more than just pain. It affects the people around you when you decide to do bad choices. Older people have already passed through teen years and pressure so they know what they are telling you when they say “do this” and “don’t do this.”

“ Always Do Right”

                                   

Nowadays most people and children are growing up using bad words and being disrespectful because of society. But this is because they way people educate and act upon certain things. When you use violence in front of a child they would grow up to be aggressive themselves. So it is better to do the right thing and teach them good qualities when they are young before it is too late. Always doing the right would not grant you regret because when you choose to do the right thing you are becoming more humble and kind amongst others rather than building up rancor. Like I said today many people are not choosing the right so it is quite astonishing when you see someone doing the right things and being generous. Some people admire these types of actions and even if others don’t what your choices are is what makes you who you are. It is rather great to have quality than quantity. All others may be falling off track but it is never too late to start doing what is right. The best things come out of good actions.

“It’s better to be alone, than to be with bad company”

        
                                                                               -Unknown

Being alone can mean a lot of things, you can be alone but have a lot of people around you, or you can be alone but have just that 1 person, or you could be alone and have nobody. Whichever the problem is, it is always better to be alone than with bad company, because later on in life having bad company includes fake people, and bad reputations. If you hang out with people who drink and party all the time people would see you as one of them even if you don’t drink. Having bad company can influence you to do the wrong choices you can not take back. So instead of having bad people surrounding you, it is a lot better to be alone or associate with good people who actually want to see you succeed in life. However, you cannot be lonely if you like the person you are alone with. I mean if you are happy about yourself you can have fun by yourself. You can become a better person by choosing the right and be with good people.

Challenges Teens Face Today

1. What are several of the major challenges teens deal with today?

• Peer pressure                                        - Depression
• Drug addiction                                      - Not fitting in
• Relationships                                        - Bullying
• Academic problems                             - Eating DISORDERS

2. What are one or two challenges YOU are dealing with and what are you doing about them?

  Some challenges I am facing as a teen today are relationships among friends and academic problems. I am most likely trying to keep a small circle because last year having a lot of friends didn’t go so well. In school I get a lot of stress when I have a lot of homework to do, so I try to sort things out by doing what I feel confident about first.

3. How does being a CTR person help you to overcome any challenges you may face?

Being a CTR person can help teens or any person overcome any challenges they may face because being a CTR person makes them good and brings them blessing when they choose the right. Basically when a challenge is approaching you deciding to do the right thing is important.

4. How can you help other teens overcome their challenges?

I believe I can help other teens overcome their challenges by listening to them and share out their problems. AKA be there for them.

                                          

• Reflection: What is the greatest need that teens have?

When it comes to needs and being a teen I think the greatest need they have is attention. I think every teens is always looking for someone who listens to them and is always there in both good and bad.

“Kindness is the essence of greatness”

                                                                

Kindness and doing good are two different things. When you choose the right you are doing it for your own benefits. In the other hand, when you show kindness you are spreading it amongst others. Children are taught to be kind to people since they first develop knowledge. They way you act kind upon others later reflects on the person you become. Greatness is given to those who are kind and humble not to those who are cruel and dishonest. So the next time there is someone in need , showing kindness makes you great.

              - William Wykeham

Who a person is relies on many things, it could be their character or anything. However what matters most is your manners. Your manners make you how you want to become. When you meet someone you realize everything about them, what you like and what you don’t like. Having good manners makes you a great person even if you are viewed as less. People with the most manners end up having the best personality. Being thankful and kind is what builds up manners and your reputation. I believe the people who have good manners are the best people alive. It's always so honoring to meet someone who is respectful and well educated rather than meeting someone who has the least manners and is granted with higher education. There is always more to a person and choosing the right is never the wrong option.

f it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it.”

                     

This quote has nothing but good intentions to it.  If something’s not right why bother to even do it. There are times when we say things that are not true. I believe this can be justifiable if the reason you are not saying the truth is for a good reason. For example, if the reason you are lying is going to protect someone’s life then it is okay to not say the truth. However, when doing something that is not right for something that is inconsequential and unimportant there is no reason to put yourself in the wrong path. The only consequence that doing the wrong would lead you to is misery.

History:

Thanksgiving day was first mentioned in 1621, the Plymouth colonists and the ` Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as the first thanksgiving. It wasn’t until 1863 that President Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving day to be held each November.

Reflection:

I believe having a holiday for thanksgiving has been a big achievement, there are times where we need a time off of work or school and just be with the people we care about and be thankful for them. There are certain people that are so valuable in our lives that there aren't any words to describe how thankful we are for them. They have helped us achieve our goals and put us on right paths and been with us since day 1. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays there is a big feast and big conversations and life is just good during fall. I am indeed thankful for the food especially the pumpkin pie.

12 Things I’m Thankful For:

1. My family
2. The house I live in
3. The clothes I wear
4. Food I eat
5. Education I get
6. Trips and places
7. 14 years of life
8. Eddie
9. My friends
10. Opportunities
11. God
12. Health

“ Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing.”

                 

             Chick Moorman

Whether you lose or win the most important thing is to do good. Winning might seem like the ultimate prize but when you cheat to win the prize isn’t so good, especially if you get caught. When you choose to be fair and honorable you feel good about yourself and what you have become. Sometimes it could be hard to accomplish a certain task so you choose to find a w=easier way out, but that leads to consequences. The best way to win is to win with dignity. You can always be a winner even if you lose when you choose the right. I have reviewed over 50 quotes by now and they all relate to choosing the right. There is a purpose for that I don’t typically like doing the same thing all the time but when  it comes to doing something you better choose wisely. Because you can see it was worth it to do something good when it took you years rather than do something bad that still took you a long time to complete. I don’t know if that made sense but that was my reflection towards this statement. Choosing the right and being fair is what makes everyone humble and great from the inside.

              

What is Veterans Day?

Veterans Day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World war l

{November 11} to honor US veterans and victims of all wars.

When is it?

Veterans Day takes place on November 11th.

What is the purpose of Veterans Day?

The purpose of Veterans Day is to honor military veterans of the US.

Why is it important to show honor on Veterans Day?

It is important to keep honoring Veterans Day because it's a way of acknowledging the sacrifices veterans have made  while serving the country. Without veterans we would not have the freedom we have today. Basically they give their life up for our rights.

List several ways to show honor and respect on Veterans Day.

• Attend a Veterans  event on your area
• Donate to the USO
• Fly a flag
• Place flowers on a veterans grave
• Volunteer at a VA hospital

      

I think honoring and making a holiday is a great way to show respect for those who died serving the country. Many people retire after they make it through the military but they usually have lost a limb. Talking to veterans after they have served the US is a great thing to do. Sometimes talking about their memories is all that is needed to make a veteran happy. Without them many innocent lives could of been killed although by risking their life isn’t a good idea their bravery is something you can’t compare anything to. There are times when veterans have a family of their own and they usually have to make sure they come out alive for their children. I think veterans are what come as close to becoming a superhero. (;
