Reflection:

Looking at the duties and responsibilities of a medical illustrator I believe I would not see myself doing this. That is because medical illustrators need to do an in depth illustration with great details of a certain part of the body. That takes someone with good sense of mind and creativity who can draw.

        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.
