Student Success Statement: Mr.Haymore

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

I believe this statement is true. Many people tend to follow the rules and they get rewarded. But when you do something bad, there are consequences. There are many examples to refer to. If we choose the  right choice we will achieve many things. We just have to be willing to work hard for it. Things don’t come easy, they never did. But if you're willing to work hard and try, you will achieve and do great things. But when you don’t it is the opposite, you go down. Your trapped, there is only a certain limit that you can get to. And once you get there, you can’t go any further. But when you choose the right, you can go as high as you can go. There is no limit to you when you do the right thing.


  

Class Evaluation

Class Evaluation

In this class, I liked that we would walk around to share our thoughts to others. I also liked that when we were given an assignment to complete we could choose our partner or work by ourselves. Another would be that we had time to ourselves where we could do whatever we pleased if we were finished with our tasks.  

The things that i did not like about this class was that we had to present our project. We also had to check if we had our CTR cards, and we had to share out loud our thoughts if Mr.Haymore chose one of the students.

Some recommendations for this class to improve is to give students a choice in choosing the career. Or maybe give us more time for ourselves.

A highlight for me in this class was sitting close to my friends. And being able to communicate with them.

I believe that I did do my best in this class. I did all my work when it was required and i did participate in sharing out my thoughts with some classmates.

I am reading my Goals Journal daily but not everyday. I do read it and write down more goals but I don’t do it everyday for five minutes. I usually do it every two days. But when if i have the chance to do it everyday, I do it.


I am committed to being a CtR Person. I like to help people when they need it. Or be kind to others to try to make someone feel better.

Student Success Statement: Mr.Haymore

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


I think this quote is very important. It has a lot of meaning, it can make other people see and learn from this quote. But to be able to learn, you have to listen. When you make good choices they help someone and yourself. When you don’t choose the right choice, there are consequences that come with them. We need to choose carefully because we never know what can happen. We need to show others that there is no need to go through all the struggles when all you need to do is make the right choice. There’s no lying, or hiding there is only happiness. When you are good to others, you feel good. You're making another person’s day.  When you're bad, you suffer the consequences. I think we all need to learn and take the example from Mr. Haymore.

Student Success Statement: Thomas Carlyle

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

The significance of this quote is that you will not achieve anything unless you know what you want to achieve. You can’t advance in life unless you know what you want. It is like you wanting to go somewhere but you don’t know where you want to go. You have to be set to go somewhere in life. You can’t just walk or move, I mean you could but there would be no point. There is no point in life unless you actually know where you want to go. I feel as if you're just waking up in the morning to another day, but there is no point in living. You have to have your headset to go somewhere. That would be the start, then you would actually have to move forward. And when you get there, you would know that you achieved something.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day I went shopping with my sister. I also went to the park with my little brother, while he was playing basketball, I read a book. Most of the day on Saturday I was  reading, writing and  watching Netflix. I was reading Pride and Prejudice. I watched various movies with my sister while she was hogging all the popcorn.  I also went to this small ice cream shop after the park, i would like to say that i liked the ice cream but i didn’t eat. I went to the mall with my sister because she was looking for a dress. She’s graduating pretty soon and she needed my advice.  On Sunday I went to church and then went back home. On Monday i spent my day writing while listening to music. I also spent Monday planning my friend's birthday, which is actually next Monday. I went for a walk to let stress out. While I went walking I saw a cute little puppy. The puppy followed me home, and I fed it. But after a while it left.

Student Success Statement: Alan Paton

“ When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”- Alan Paton

The significance of the quote is pretty clear to me. Some may not understand it, but i do. It talks about forgiving someone for the mistakes they do. We all get hurt in some point of our lives, and I admit, it feels like if the pain will never go away. It feels like a hole in your chest, gnawing away at your soul. You break down, and its okay to break down. I've learned from experience that when you keep those emotions inside, the feelings combine and come out in a stronger effect. You feel trapped inside, you ask yourself why it happened to you. But like i said it passes, and we heal. We must learn to forgive, we can’t keep feeling anger and hate inside of us. Its unhealthy for us, and sometimes we think that we have a right to feel hate, but you don’t. Because one day you will be old and you have not forgiven, it will still be inside you, haunting you.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died protecting and serving in the country's armed forces. It is celebrated every year on the last Monday of May. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag in every grave in national cemeteries. On Memorial Day the United States flag is raised to the top of the staff and then lowered to the half-staff position, which remains until noon. It is then raised to full staff for the remainder of the day. Some things that I will do to respect this day is pray for those who are in grieving, give thanks to the people that have served our country.

I think memorial day is a very special day all across the world. It is the day that we give thanks to those who have served and provided for our country. We also thank and celebrate for the one’s that have made it back. We grieve the loss that others and ourselves are going through. Some people don’t know how to cope with this because it is hard to lose someone you love. I’m not saying that you will forget about them, but your heart will mend, and you will be fine soon. We need to move on because that is how life is. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the people that have died for us. We should respect and honor the people that have done so much for us and the country.
