1)               Write a post evaluating this course.

a)     What I liked about this class is I learned how to type a bit faster, I learned how to use blogger and posting documents on my electronic portfolio. What I did not like about this class is that I had to take it again after taking it 2 years in middle school and passing it. Also it hurts my eyes after using the computer for a while that is why I do not like using computers much, but this class is fun.
b)  I suggest giving rewards to the student who always do their work so it can encourage others who do not do their work.
c)  I really did my best in this class and I am hoping I get an A or a B.  
d)     I read my 100+ goals  almost every day and try to think of new goals that I want to accomplish.
e) I am committed to being a CTR person because I always want to do the right thing and feel good about it.
f)    


Showcase Adventure

      On the first day we talked about the interdisciplinary project, I already knew who to choose for my group which was my 3 friends because they are responsible and will stay on task. I knew I could count on them to do their part & remember it and on the day the day of the presentation.

    The presentation was good; they gave us a 3 so we need to work harder next time to earn that 4. The only one who kind of messed up was me because I was really nervous, I get stage fright, but I did not go running out of the class or stutter much or was too quiet. The good thing was is that I was loud and kind of stuttering but my friends said that I did well and that they are proud that I continued with my part and even answered some questions.


   After the presentation, I let all my nervousness out I even felt like I could not breathe because I was just that nervous but I’m proud that we did good and we will do better and work harder to earn that 4 next semester.

“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad.

Abraham Lincoln


What Lincoln is saying is that whenever he does bad things he feels bad about it but whenever he does good things he feels proud and god about it. This quote pretty much works for everybody, including myself, because you cannot do bad things and feel good about it or you cannot do good things and feel bad about it that just is not right. I know when I do bad things I do feel bad, I feel guilty. Although, when I do good things I feel really good about and think it is the right thing to do.

Student Success Statement

“Take responsibility for your own body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well being.”

Mr. Haymore


I believe what Mr. Haymore is saying means people should take responsibility for their own actions. Whatever you do affects you in many positive and negative ways.

Reflection of the Video


Because the little boy, Patrick, did not listen to his parents, he paid the price by getting stung by a scorpion. Patrick chose the wrong of not listening to his parents about putting on his shoes. This made him regret to listen to them instead of being so lazy and rebellious.
Student Success Statement

“Always do right.”


Mark Twain

I believe what Twain means is you should do what is right not what is wrong. Everybody technically knows what’s right but they either deny or don’t accept it. Those people would rather continue doing what’s wrong and pretend that it is right.

Student Success Statement
“When you tell one lie, it leads to another”
Always speak the truth



Paul Hatch

I think when you lie it can make you get used to it because you Are thinking that lying is okay but it is not. It can hurt others and yourself, telling the truth is better than to lying to yourself.


When you Tell One Lie it leads to Another

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
Then you tell two three lies and, Oh Brother,
You’re in trouble up to your ears!
So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won’t suspect
You
Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect
A life filled with worries and fears
‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies
You’ve told
And half the things you say aren’t true
And sometime you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up
And then
Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
‘Till the whole wide world will know
You’re lying
Then you’ll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good

Student Success Statement

The 3 Questions:
1.        Can people trust me to do what’s right?
2.        Am I committed to doing my very best?
3.        Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?
“If the answers to these are YES, there is no way you can fail.”

Lou Holtz

I believe this is a true statement because there is people who fail in life and those people mistreat others, are not committed to their very best instead fool around and nobody can trust them with anything because of their actions.

Act of Kindness


In the video, I liked the part when the man in the store gave the lady with her baby money to pay for the diapers because he saw how she was struggling with her baby, had no money because her card was declined, so he just gave her money to pay for it without anything in return. What he did shows true kindness, he made her day. 
Student Success Statement

“Kindness is the essence of greatness.”

Kindness is what makes us great. Without kindness we would not be so great, we would be cruel & heartless. Being kind to each other makes people feel good about them. You should treat others however you want to be treated.

Student Success Statement

“Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing.”

~Chick Moorman~


I believe what Moorman means is that when you are doing something right you are doing it honestly and fair to others which is what matters the most instead of just winning or losing. For instance you are taking a test and did not study then your friend asks if you want the answers you should just say no because once you do that test you are doing it fairly and honest to others and yourself.

Student Success Statement

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”


Proverbs 13:20


This quote means is that depending on the people you are with or are your friends they will lead you to the right or wrong path. For example, your friends always to their homework and always have high expectations in life and encourage you to too. But if your friends do drugs and don’t try in school they will bring you down with them and lead you to the wrong path.

Student Success Statement

“Be cool in school - live every rule.”

Mr. Haymore


I think what Mr. Haymore means is that just by following the rules you yourself can be cool in school. For instance, some of your so call friends offer you to smoke well those are not your friends if they are making you do stuff that you are not supposed to do, so you follow the rules and you don’t do it that’s being cool.
