“You will go far with CTR” - Mr. Haymore

Being a CTR person means choosing the right at any point of time. It means you are honest, safe, caring, respectful, hard-working and many other characteristics. Choosing the right will allow you to achieve bigger and better things. Unlike being a CTW person which means being lazy, hateful and making wrong decisions that will get you into trouble. An example of being a CTR person is choosing not to smoke when everyone else is doing it. Even though you may feel pressured to do it the best thing you can do is walk away and not face the consequences. When you choose the right you receive good deeds. When you do the wrong thing you receive bad consequences. Being a CTR person will only affect you. It helps you determine if you want to achieve big things or become no one. Mr. Haymore taught the class that you will go far with CTR you can go to college/ university, you can earn a career. All it takes is hard work and determination. Make others proud not only them but yourself as well. You will go far with CTR.

Class Evaluation 

Some things I enjoyed about this class were able to practice my typing and able to get better at typing. I also enjoyed the student success statements we've learned about in this class. It inspires me to do better and achieve more than I already have. This class has taught me many things throughout the year. The item I enjoyed the most were probably the videos and examples that were shown in class. Overall I had a great year in this class.

There was not much I didn't like about this class because it was an interesting class and it was different compared to others but I didn't really have anything I disliked about this class.

Some recommendations for this class would be to do different things everyday instead of sticking to one normal routine. Try different things and focus more typing and practicing. You can try new ways to teach the students how to type and link them to websites they can visit to help them practice and improve their typing. Another recommendation may be to assign more projects online so it can improve on typing and learning how to use the materials listed on the screen.

The highlight for me in this class was understanding quotes and throughout the year I started knowing about them than from the beginning of the year. I am really bad at English and I try but sometimes I don't really understand what the quotes means. In this class since we go over student success statements it helps me get a better understanding of what the quote means.

I did try my best in this class especially in the student success statements because like I said I'm not the best at English so I get stuck sometimes and I start thinking and then I get off track but I try my best to stay focused. I try my best to maintain an A in this class because my goal was to get straight As for my last and final report card but it didn't really work out.

I have been keeping up with my life planning journal because I want to accomplish more and have a career that I enjoy. I read over them and push myself to work toward them and accomplish them. I will continue to use it and spend at least five minutes on it during summer break. This helps me keep track of what I need to do in order to accomplish them.

Being a CTR person means being productive, responsible and many other characteristics. I am committed to becoming a CTR person because I don't want to end up in bad situations. Mr. Haymore taught us that if you do good, you will receive good and if you do bad you receive bad. The path I want to take is the path to success I don't want to end up in a situation that I will regret doing.

“THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is to be a CTR Person - to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7 !!!” - Mr. Haymore

CTR stands for choosing the right. Choosing the right will allow you to make your future better. Making your own choices is what creates the future for yourself. For example, if you are offered to smoke you are responsible for making that decision whether it will affect you negatively or positively. If you were a CTR person you would have chose to walk away and deny the offer. Be an example for others, if you show others that you are a CTR person they will become one as well because you show them what having a good character looks like. Some examples of choosing the right are being productive, safe, honest, patient, caring , hard working and many more. Although you are a CTR you still have to work hard to get what you want. Nothing will come to you if you’re being lazy. This is an example of a CTW person. CTW people are disrespectful to others, they are lazy, they use alcohol and drugs and they’re the ones who usually never have a bright future. Your ultimate choice should be being a CTR person because you make the right decisions and you don’t get into trouble. Many issues that CTW people have are being dishonest. Dishonesty often leads to bad consequences and they lose trust from others. Choosing the right is the ultimate choice you should make because you have a bright future and you won’t get in trouble.

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

A rudder is a part of the boat that keeps the boat moving. This helps guide the boat to get to its destination. Without the rudder part the boat wouldn’t be able to travel anywhere. This relates to your goals and what you want to accomplish. If you don’t have a goal you don’t have a rudder it doesn’t allow you to get up and move to your destination you would just be lazy. Unlike you having a goal you have something that motivates you to reach that goal and allows you to reach that destination. Without a rudder the boat doesn’t go anywhere, just like a person without a goal. Having a rudder allows the boat to move and actually get somewhere just like a person with a goal. People with goals are determined to reach for it they know one day they will get to their final destination and it’ll all be worth it in the end. Be the person with the goal not the boat that doesn’t get anywhere.

Memorial Day Weekend

This Memorial Day Weekend was pretty interesting because there were a lot of events that happened during this weekend. First off on Saturday my team and I went to our last tournament game for volleyball, we made it memorable. This took place at El Camino College and after that we were very tired so that was the only thing we did that day. Sunday was not a very fun day because I woke up sick and I didn’t really have too much fun during the day. At night we went to my cousin's daughter’s birthday and I got to reunite with other family members that I haven’t seen in a long time. On Memorial Day my family and I had fun because we went shopping for my brother’s graduation outfit. He graduates on June 11 and so we decided to take advantage and go looking for my brother’s outfit. That same day I was writing my 10 paragraph essay and I couldn’t think straight I was struggling so much but luckily I got it done and turned it in on time. Although my Memorial Day Weekend didn’t sound as much fun, it was pretty fun to me and that’s all that matters. The only thing I didn’t like about my weekend was that I got sick and now it’s not as much fun, but I did get to sleep in and I enjoyed that.
