1. I liked how Mr. Haymore always had a quote for us each time we had this class, and he explained thoroughly what it meant.

2. I didn't like typing tutor because although i don't type perfectly i am okay with that

3. I feel like if you influence the students SO MUCH in being a great student and going to college some might just want to do the opposite

4. Every day was a highlight for me. I learned so much in this class it made me think of what i want for my self in the future

5. I know I was capable of doing much better, i had a bad attitude some days which is not good at all

6. I write for 5 min daily in my life planning note book, i re read what I want for myself later in life.

7. Yes, I a committed to being a CTR person all the time. Choosing the right benefits you a thousand times more.

8. To never let other people come between you not being successful, or for you not choosing the right thing to do

9. I will always remember how Mr. Haymore believed in each one of us, he always told us that we were capable that we can be great human beings
“You will go far with CTR” -Mr. Haymore
imgres.jpg
As long as you always chose the right you will be successful. Nobody should ever prevent you from choosing the right 24/7. Distant yourself from the people that will bring you down with them. Make yourself be better in every aspect of life. Instead of dreaming what you want to do in the future make it a goal and accomplish it. Everyone is capable of being extraordinary, not everyone is willing to work hard for it. Be determined, work hard, accomplish your goals. Be successful. Do great things with your life. Be confident and choose the right. Always.

Challenges Teens Face Today

Something that a teenager might stress about nowadays is bullying. Cyber bullying, verbal bullying, and even physical bullying. I go through many problems at home so most of the time i am very moody, but I tell myself that the problems you’re facing now won’t mean nothing in a couple of years or even months. Being a CTR person helps you overcome any obstacle that comes across your life because as long as you do the right thing ALL the time you will have nothing to worry about. We can give teens that are have a tough time advice, telling them that maybe what they’re going through isn’t something they should actually be stressing about.

Greater Values

Malik Stewart is a high school wrestler who goes compete at state champions, although he loses he still goes shakes the other teammates and his father’s hand as well. He was not angry with them. He acted extremely humble about it. Both contestants were great but one did it better than the other. Roman Chapa was in a horse riding race but he wanted to win so bad that he decided to cheat. He electrocuted his horse just so it could go faster, and when they caught him he still lied and denied that he had not done that. Don't be a Roman chapo, such a bitter person. Be a Malik Stewart, kind and humble.
“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating” -Sophocles
imgres.jpg
It is better to lose honorably and fairly than to win by cheating. If you lose fairly then at least you tried and gave it you all. You are only cheating yourself if you win by cheating/ copying. If you keep failing don’t give up, keep trying your best until you reach your goal.

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values” -Dennis Prager

You can be the wealthiest person on earth, with the most prestigious items but if you don’t have good values you don’t have anything.

An Internal Phenomenon
“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self esteem.” -Dr. Laura Schlessinger
imgres.jpg


Reward’s are not always about getting a gift, or getting money. A reward can be just making someone else feel better or being honest or just working hard. For example, if a senior women is carrying a ton of bags and she is having a hard time you decide to help her by laying off some weight on herself. You feel good about yourself because you were kind enough to take time out of your day to help somebody else.

Do the right thing at the right time
“It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.” -Pam Knox


 imgres.jpg

You have to have courage, having courage will be beneficial. If someone is always scared to stand up for themselves or simply speak up you are not being a CTR person. For example, if a friend tells you to go smoke with them but you know that isn’t the right thing to do you have to speak and firmly say ‘NO’, but if you’re scared and say ‘yes’ you are not being brave, and you aren’t being an assertive person. Stand up for yourself, have pride. Don’t be a follower. You do you.

  “I have been asked what I mean by ‘Word of Honor’. I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls- walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first” -Karl G. Maesar

imgres.jpg

This quote is trying to tell us to never break our promise if we give our word to someone then we have to accomplish it and not let them down. They trusted us and if we don’t keep our word then it’s possible that they will our trust. We always have to keep our word no matter the circumstance. For example, if a friend asked you to help them wash their car on a certain day and time it is your responsibility to be there. If you decide you don’t want to go or something came up you are still breaking the promise. No excuses.

“A promise must never be broken” -Alexander Hamilton


imgres.jpg

Promises isn’t just saying that you will do something or go somewhere for sure, it is also about trust. If you make a promise to somebody that person is trusting you to keep it. But if you don’t then they may lose your trust and they will always think bad about you. If you keep making promises and you keep breaking them they will just not trust you anymore. Losing someone’s trust is not good at all. You will lose many things if you lose somebody’s trust. You didn’t chose the right, which is probably the worse mistake you can ever do. Always keep your word. You’re not always going to chose the right and honestly that is perfectly fine because what is life without risks. Not fun at all. You don’t have much time. So why are you going to be all safe with anything you do? I don’t think you always have to chose the right , because you don’t. That is no fun. So enjoy life. And do whatever you want to do.

Goodness
“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” -Henry David Thoreau

Being good to people will never bring you down. It will show the best of you. It will not only make the other person feel good but it will make you feel good about yourself as well. There is no need to be mean and have a nasty attitude. Life is to short for that. That’s why you have to enjoy it while you can. Goodness will never bring you down.

They’re Right
“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because you’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”
-Theodore Hesburgh

Life wasn’t meant to be easy. If everything was easy everyone would be happy and successful. No challenges to overcome, nor goals because everything will be so easy it will just be handed to you. You have to reach for the highest. Just because something is easier and requires less work does not mean that it will be great. Greatness only comes to those who work hard. You don’t choose to do anything because of the value and how it can benefit you in the social way.

Sound and Good

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound’ (not good) -Joseph Smith

images.jpg


        We have to influence others to do good. We can show other people that not only bad things can make you “popular” but doing good can too. Doing bad things does not make you cool, it makes you an idiot. For example, if you think failing a test makes you cool, it doesn’t. There is no need for you to chose the wrong. You can be “popular” as well if you do your work. Stay away from drugs and just simply do good.

"Character is higher than intellect." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thinking is a big part of life. With out being open minded or having different thoughts you will not get anywhere. Technology is beyond advanced, but sometimes we just need to let that go and do some thinking of our own. You also need to express what your thoughts are at times. It can be very beneficial if you let out what you're thinking or what you want.

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.” -Brigham Young

Doing the right things will always give you many benefits. You will be great, get freedom, get independence when you decide to do the right thing. If you choose the wrong you will get consequences, and you won’t be happy with them. You have to think of what is going to make you successful and happy. Which choice will make you the better person. Nothing good ever comes from choosing the wrong. Always choose the right. Great things will happen to those that do.

The truly good
“They’re only truly great who are truly good.” -George Champan

Any person that is trying to do good will automatically be great. If you are not a good person you will never be a truly great person. Maybe you’ll earn your way up by cheating, but that will not make you a great person because you are not choosing the right and going down the wrong pathway. If you want to be great remember to do it the correct and humble way. The fair way. Instead of cheating yourself. There is consequences for everything you do. The real question is, will you want the good or the bad consequences. That’s up to you.

"I wont cheat" -Dale Murphey

Cheating is never good. No matter the circumstance you are in. It can affect many people if you cheat, mainly yourself. its not good for your mental nor physical health. Life is hard, there are many obstacles in life. But how well you play thats up to you. We dont need people to me motivating us or supporting us to keep foing good. You can be independent with no one on your side and you can still be choosing the right. Every second of life you have to think to youself and know what you are going to want in the future. If you cheat you will get no where. Nobody benfits from cheating. You can work hard. This is your arena. Many people think of life id different perspectives. And sometimes thats what we need. Cheating is never right.

Cheerleading 

Cheerleading means everything to me. Its my hobby, my passion, my life. It is something that represents who i am. I've met many great people while cheerleading. My cheer team is my family. We all work hard together, we push each other to our limits and we help make each other better. It is also an excellent work out. It keeps your body fit, and makes you feel good about yourself. Many people think that cheerleading is not a sport or that all we do is scream and kick. Clearly those people are wrong. Cheer is a sport and it is not east at all. We do many difficult stunts, dances, jumps, and tumbling. Cheerleading is my all. Its my inspiration. I love being a cheerleader.
