Student Success Statement: Count Leo Tolstoy

“ Only those live who do good.” - Count Leo Tolstoy

I think this is a good quote. I agree with Counts Leo Tolstoy because the people that are living all have a personality. The living all have spirits. Our spirits dance around and have big dreams and like to explore. We have something that some people wish they had. We have happiness at some point in our lives. We may not see it but our spirits fly around when we are filled with joy. The living have a happy life, we are lucky. But we forget sometimes the important thing to do, to be good. We are selfish because we only think about how we feel. If we have lives why not waste it with something important? Why not waste it doing good things? Why not try being polite or help someone out with something they are struggling with? It seems like a pointless thing to do, but the smallest of actions can make someone feel a bit better. We have lives, so waste it on being good.

Student Success Statement: Dr. Ben Carson

“ I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that ( poverty ). It depends on how hard I want to work, and I decided that I wanted to change it. “- Dr. Ben Carson

What this quotes significance is that we decide if we want to change our future. We all come from a family, we all know what it's like for us to want something but never get it. For some of us it is even more hard to support our family, we all have a path. We all have a path that leads us somewhere, but the thing is we never know when and where that path will lead us and end. We don’t know when it can end or where it leads. That is a mystery for us all, well for most of us anyways. But we all have one, the possibilities of where they might lead are endless. And that is a good thing, we don’t know our future. The best part in life is that you don’t take it somewhere unless you make the choice. Unless you say so it will keep leading to a path the is unknown. So unless you do something about it to change it, no one else will change it for you. You will have to take responsibility for your own future, it's not someone else's life, it's yours. You need to learn how to hold on to life when you're slipping, you take control. If you don’t you’ll fall and you will end up where you started. Work hard and it will pay off, do it for the people you care about and if not for them, then at least do it for yourselves.

Student Success Statement: Thomas S. Monson

“ You can't be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.” - Thomas s. Monson

I agree with Thomas Monson, you can’t be right by doing the wrong thing. It is impossible to do something that is wrong and be right. And you can’t do something right and be wrong. What this means is whatever you action is, if it is wrong, you know that this can’t be the right thing to do. We all know the difference between right and wrong, but we choose to ignore it. Why do we ignore it? That is the question. Why do we do it? We do it because we are scared. We do it for many reasons but the main reason is because we are terrified. We are scared that if we do the right thing someone will judge you. We think that someone will think less of us, but that is not true. Everyone has flaws, we all make mistakes. But that is something different. What I’m saying is that we are all different. Nobody is the same.  We are all different from one another, so embrace your differences.

Student Success Statement: Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

“ Enthusiasm makes the difference.”- Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

I agree with Dr. Norman, being enthusiastic can make things different. Enthusiasm can make things much more enjoyable. You can go hiking or go explore, but the thing that makes it fun is enthusiasm. You don’t have to make things boring for yourselves, you can enjoy the things you do. It can make a difference to your life, or the way you see things. All you need is enthusiasm. It may sound hard for some people but it's really not. You just have to think about the things that you could or would like to do with your day. Make it interesting for yourselves. Challenge yourselves, don’t just sit there. If you don’t have anything to do, find something helpful to do. You can do many things in just one day. It all depends on you. It depends on you whether you're really willing to try.

Student Success Statement: Dean Smith

“ I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right. “- Dean Smith

I think Dean Smith was a good person. He was a person that did not think about himself first. He thought about how others might feel. He showed that he cares about other people and that he is an honest person. This quote shows us, the readers that he did what he thought was right. He didn’t do anything because of the fame or because he wanted to be known. He did it because he knows how it feels when you lose something. He clearly states that he wasn’t trying to do anything all he wanted to do was the right thing. I think he is a kind and thoughtful person. He kept an open mind for how others felt. He showed a lot of people and proved to them that he was unselfish and that he really cared about how others felt. He is a person that anyone would like to be or know personally. He is a huge role model for many people that want to be like him.

Student Success Statement: Dr. Randy Pausch

“ It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma( good results, destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you. “ - Dr. Randy Pausch

What this quotes significance means is that life will eventually work itself out for you. I'm not saying that life will be easy for you or that everything you want will come to you. What I’m saying is that if you work hard and do things the right way the first time, you will make your world a whole lot easier. You wouldn’t need to worry  about going back and doing it all over again because you got to lazy or discouraged to do it. You wouldn’t need to go back and do it again because you did it the first time. Life itself isn’t easy for anyone, we all have bumps on the road or adventure. We all have struggles in our life, but as time passes we learn a thing or two about how it should be done. We learn because we listen and pay attention. So our lives are not easy simple as that. But along the way, as time passes, your life will work itself out and you will have no regrets. You will look back and see that your life turned out pretty good.

Student Success Statement: Theodore Roosevelt

“ Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation. “-Theodore Roosevelt

What i think the significance of this quote is to tell us, remind us of who we are and what we want to be in the future. It gives us a reminder that we all have a different personality. And we all have different ways in looking at things, but we all have a body, mind, and character, when i think of these three words i think about our society. Mind, we all have a brain that we use everyday and every second of our lives. It gives us a sense in what to do, and how to do it. Body, we use it do things as well. There are better ways to use our bodies instead of wasting time like making holes through it or marking ourselves. Character, our character tells everyone what and how we are. We need to use our characters for good things, instead of being rude all the time. We can use it in so many ways that we didn’t even know. We can use all these things to help a person, or help yourself. You can use these strategies to help a person that is in need. We all have these things and sometimes we don’t use them because we are scared that we might not fit in or think that we are weak. So we build a wall to hide how we really feel. We need to stop hiding or wasting our lives, you are the key.

Student Success Statement: Mr. C. S. Haymore

“ Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.”- Mr. C.S. Haymore

I agree with this quote. What this quote is telling us is to be responsible. Be responsible for your own things. We need to take responsibility for our own being. Taking responsibility means you will not need to depend on anyone in the future. Taking responsibility means not needing anyone to take care of you. Because you are already dependable on  yourself. You don’t need anyone to be pushing you or telling you what to do. Because you already know what you need to do. You know mentally that you need to do things. Your mind will remind you when it needs to. It will remind you of what you need to do automatically. You don’t need anyone. All you need is your body, mind, and spirit.

Student Success Statement: Martin Luther King Jr.

“ Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.”- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The significance of this statement is to make people understand what you can achieve with intelligence and character. We can have a good character but what does that work for? Or you can be intelligent and not have good character. These things matter because we need to learn how to appreciate the things that are given to us. We need to learn that whatever is given to us is useful. There is always a way in life. You have to show good character and be smart. You have to show that not everything in life is as bad as people think. We need these things in our life. They make us improve and understand the world. It makes us understand why we are here. We need to understand that we can be intelligent and have a good character. We need these things in our life to make other people understand.

Class Evaluation

Some things I like about this class are that we have free time if we are finished with everything. I also like that we get to learn new things like making a blog or making a google sheet.

Things I did not like about this class was that we had a certain amount of time in doing things and sometimes we would not be able to finish.

Recommendations for improving this class is to give more free time and get the students to try and search up different things not just careers. To make them learn different things and what's happening.

A highlight for me in this class was learning on typing tutorial, now my typing has improved.

Yes i did do my best in this class, i finished all my work and participated in class.

Yes i am reading my life planning goals journal everyday to remind myself of what i need to improve on.

Yes i am committed to being a CTR Person because I like to see people happy and not struggling.

Student Success Statement: Paul Hatch

“ When you tell a lie it leads to another.” - Paul Hatch

I agree with Paul Hatch when he says this statement. We all know that everyone lies at some point in their lives. We lie because we don’t want to get in trouble, or you want to protect someone. Whatever the reason is well more like excuse, you lead to a lie. It doesn’t matter how small the lie is, it's still a lie.  It can affect many people with such a little lie.  It can affect you too.  You need to think about people around you.  You need to think about what your action will cause.  We all know that after a bad thing we do there are consequences.  We all know that there are consequences yet we still do them anyways.  Why is that?  We still do it because you think that you can get away with it, because you don’t want to deal with it.  You say you will deal with it later but then time passes and you don’t.  This is due to laziness.  People like to be lazy and want things to be done for them.  But that is not how life works.  You need to learn to face your problems and become responsible.  You need to face the fact that for every action there is a consequence.  There is no need for lies because you can simply tell the truth.  It is that simple, tell the truth and you won’t have to think of all the bad possibilities.

The Sting Of The Scorpion

In the video we saw that a seven year old boy was in the dessert with his parents. His parents would always tell him to wear his shoes to protect his feet from the dangers in the sand. One morning he decided he want to explore for a while, and so he wore his flip flops. As he was walking he felt a sting on his foot. The pain raised up his leg and he fell to the floor calling for help. He had been stung by a black scorpion. They rushed him to the hospital that was two hours away and the doctor saved him. The little boy thought he was going to die but he didn't. He said he realized that when his parents told him to put on his shoes, it was for his well being. He had realized that he had gotten lazy and chose the flip flops instead of his shoes. We get lazy too at some point in our lives, and we don't want to do anything. But this little boy realized that he didn't listen and there was consequences.

 

Student Success Statement: Mark Twain

“ Always do right.” - Mark Twain

I agree with Mark Twain when he says these three meaningful words. As a person, we all have choices. Every choice we decide to make changes our future. It can change your future in a good way or a bad way. Every second of everyday there is always something happening. There is never going to be a time where nothing is happening. You have to choice if you're going to be the cause of the action. You can either cause it or prevent it from happening. You have many choices throughout your whole life. We may choose the wrong choices once in awhile. But sometimes we choose the right choice because we want what’s best for us. We want the best choice and selfishly everyone wants that.Or selfishly we want it for ourselves or for a person not to have those choices. We all know that one way or another your mistakes will come back to you. There is never going to be a time where you will do something bad and not face the consequences.

Student Success Statement: Lou Holtz

1. Can people trust me to do whats right?
2. Am i committed to doing my very best?
3. Do i treat people the way I want to be treated?

“ If the answer to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail.” - Lou Holtz

I agree with Lou when he says there is no way that you can fail if the answer to all these questions are yes. If you think about it these questions are very important, they should make you think and reflect on yourself. If you take a moment to think about this and really take it in, you will realize that some people are not aware of how they look and act most of the time. You have to be careful when you do things, you have to think about your actions before you do anything. Think about what consequences come within your actions. Be smart and think about it well. You don’t want to do something and then later on regret it. You have to be aware of the things you can lose and are risking. Do something because you know it will help you. Do it because you care.

Challenges Teens Face Today

Challenges Teens Face Today

1. Several challenges teens face today is pressure from your parents and expectations.
2. A challenge i am dealing with today is trying to keep up with all my work since this is my first year of high school.
3. It can help me by not being shy and ask more questions during class and it can help me commit to school.
4. I can encourage other teens to not give up and try to focus on the main things in school.

Reflection: teens have the need to have a mobile device in site and that is what may cause a distraction.

Student Success Statement; John F. Kennedy

“ 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. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”- President John F. Kennedy

I agree with President John F. Kennedy when he says that physical fitness is not only the most important keys to a healthy body. Physical fitness does not only have one purpose, it can have many purposes. They can be to get in shape, just for fun, to blow off some stress, and many more. The point is that physical fitness does not have only one purpose. It can help a lot of people with many things in many ways. If you think that it is just to get in shape, then you are wrong. Many people depend on physical fitness to help relax their bodies. Or people can also use it for the brain too. It can exercise the brain in many  ways. Just because you see a person that has a nice body and seems all happy all the time, it does not mean everything in their life is perfect. They can have some issues at home or with a person. That’s where the physical fitness comes in, they use it to let their stress out or to get their mind off of things.

Student Success Statement: Joseph B. Wirthlin

“ Kindness is the essence of greatness. “- Joseph B. Wirthlin

I agree with Joseph when he says that kindness is the key to greatness. Kindness is just a word to most people. They see it  and hear it almost every day but the truth is are they really comprehending? People may see or hear this word and not make much of it, but it is a powerful thing. Kindness can lead to many things in life, it can lead to possibly anything you want if you are well aware of what it means. Kindness means family, friends, partners, etc. but it also means something that you do out of generosity. You don’t do it to receive something out of it or because you think by doing it people will like you more. You can be kind to anybody just because you can and want to. It doesn’t mean to do everything for a person, it means to be kind enough and ask or offer help. Be kind to someone, it doesn’t have to be a big act of help. It can be something small like offering to help with carrying something or opening a door. It can be anything you want, but show it to people.
