Final: Part 1

1.         Things I liked about this class are that I developed typing skills, learned different things every single day in class, and that I learned how far I can go with making the right decisions.

2.       There really is not anything I did not like I lied this class overall it was easy, and not that much of a problem for me.

3.       I would not recommend anything to improve the class because it is perfect the way it is.

4.       I did do my best in this class because if I did not I would not be passing

5.       I am ready to read my life planning every day because it became an important part of my life and it will somewhat guide me through life.

6.       I am committed to being a CTR person because first it is not that hard to stay committed. Second, it is something I’ve incorporated into my life. Third, it is something I can do to live a righteous life.

7.       Something I will always remember about this class is how nice and sweet Mr. Haymore is and how he worked diligently to help his students succeed.

Student Success Statement

To be a CTR Person-to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

The Ultimate Choice

Of all the choices you ever make, there is one choice that that supersedes all other choices that will guide and help you in all your other choices. This one choice will help you always make the correct decisions. This one choice, The Ultimate Choice, is the keystone to being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is: To be a CTR person—to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT.

Reflection: Choosing the right is something that will inevitably happen depending on the person. Choosing the right can help you make the right decisions in life to achieve things. This also the keystone to be a good student and the best person you can possibly be. Choosing the right can also make way for you to make other decisions in life whether they are good or bad. Choosing the right can also be a lifelong keystone that can influence you daily and help you make better decisions.

Student Success Statement

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

Thomas Carlyle.

Reflection: If an individual doesn’t know the direction of where their life is going than what is the point of living and wondering through it. Knowing what you want to do in life is better because you’re prepared, and ready to take on your life and more importantly the world. If you’re steering your life then you know what you desire, what you want to accomplish, and what you want to make out of yourself. If you do not set goals then what is the point of attending school and trying to make something out of yourself. All in all I agree with Thomas Carlyle because without a rudder you do not have long life goals. 

Student Success Statement

“If there is beauty in character,

There will be harmony in the home.

If there is harmony in the home,

There will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

There will be peace in the world.

Conclusion:

If there is beauty in character,

There will be harmony in home.”

Chinese proverb

Reflection: Peace in the world is never impossible for someone to achieve it just takes the right steps and the right people to do it with. In the world now there is a lot of violence, protests, injustices, and immorality in teenagers caused by influential society, and just because people do not want to live a better life. These proverbs are essential keys to live a better life, and to improve the world’s well-being. We are all just here for a specific amount of time because when the lord calls for you back that is it.  If people can maintain peace anywhere they go without violence than this Chinese proverb can be achieved in many different ways. I agree with this proverb because it spreads knowledge, and can really help a person fundamentally achieve this proverb.

Character Counts

“The Six Pillars of Character”

1.         Trustworthiness: Be honest • Don’t deceive, cheat, or steal • Be reliable — do what you say you’ll do • Have the courage to do the right thing • Build a good reputation • Be loyal — stand by your family, friends, and country

2.       Respect: Treat others with respect; follow the Golden Rule • Be tolerant and accepting of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don't threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements

3.       Responsibility: Do what you are supposed to do • Plan ahead • Persevere: keep on trying! • Always do your best • Use self-control • Be self-disciplined • Think before you act — consider the consequences • Be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes • Set a good example for others

4.       Fairness: Play by the rules • Take turns and share • Be open-minded; listen to others • Don’t take advantage of others • Don’t blame others carelessly • Treat all people fairly.

5.       Caring: Be kind • Be compassionate and show you care • Express gratitude • Forgive others • Help people in need

6.       Citizenship: Do your share to make your school and community better • Cooperate • Get involved in community affairs • Stay informed; vote • Be a good neighbor • Obey laws and rules • Respect authority • Protect the environment • Volunteer

Reflection: The six pillars of characters are somewhat of a foundation to start living a better happier life without having to do bad things.  They teach others how to live a modest life with rules, and with respect to live without sin. In the six pillars of characters you need to be honest, respectful, responsible, fair, caring, and be a good citizen to your community and follow these life essentials.  Just in general you need to act righteous and not be putting down anyone from something and just treating people with respect. These pillars can be an influential subject it just takes people to follow what they say and to live a more modest positive life they can.

Showcase Reflection

This IDP was actually way easier than the other one and far more entertaining. It allowed most students to get creative and put their thoughts into just as many interesting projects there is. It was a success and I am proud for every student in HPIAM because not only did they work hard, and do a lot of research but they also presented and had the guts to just present and show what they had done for their presentation. For me the project was extremely easy, I was not nervous, nor scared to speak publicly, especially cause I had everything down so it was a piece of cake. 

Student Success Statement

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

Sophocles

Reflection: There is a difference when you succeed by being honest and succeed by cheating. If you do it honestly, then you’re doing everything right and choosing the right. If you do it by cheating you’re doing it wrongly, and not doing it in the most honest way. Many people today try to achieve by cheating, lying, and being dishonest and that is not the way to go. People love to get out the easy way but later on that will come and bite you in the butt because everything catches up to anyone. If you succeed in life by simply telling the truth then you can live life more comfortably rather than always thinking you reached this level by committing wrong doing.
