“You will go far with CTR.”

                                           -Mr.Haymore

          This quote means that if you chose to be a better person, if you make only the best decisions for you and others… You will continue to grow and excel in nearly everything positive. As all things will fall into place positively. When making decisions, always choose the better and the right ones. Everyone knows what is right and what is wrong to do and say. As you know that there consequences to your actions, there are rewards to your good deeds. Not all rewards are visible, but eventually you will see the better outcomes when choosing and making the right decisions. So it is best to choose the right, as it will keep you on the right path, but also benefit those around you.

Class Evaluation

There are many things that I liked about this class. Some of these things were when we got to get up and talk to other classmates to share about a topic. Also the computer coding lessons I really enjoyed, they were really fun and understandable. I also liked doing some of my own research  at times. I liked Mr. Haymore’s positive attitude, as well as some quotes that were in our student success statements.

The thing I didn’t like in this class was the out of class assignments, I did not have access to the internet at times when needed. I  wouldn’t be at home at times either. Some of the assignments were put on a weekend when I stay with my father without access to a computer. Also the computer vocabulary flashcards for this class I did not like.

I recommend that more microsoft onedrive be used more. In 7th grade, I had a computer class, we had nearly the same lesson routine. But eventually we learned how to graph data from a table and we learned how to edit and alter images. I feel that this class can add more lessons other than khan academy. Also, it is best to continue the khan academy lessons. The lessons are very informing, and also challenging but enjoyable.

A highlight for me in this class was when we began working on the CTR project. Also those project activities with the workbook, as well when we worked on the Code website and the Khan Academy website. Many activities that were out of routine were a highlight for me, change would be a nice surprise to me in this class.

I did try my best in this class, I like working on computers. I’ve had 3 computer classes since throughout my school years. I enjoyed and passed all of them. I challenged myself at times and there were times where I needed to complete an assignment and barely anything stopped me. Like when doing research. I wouldn't move on until I have completed the assignment. I will always try in a class I really enjoy, I really enjoyed being in this class.

I do read my journal everyday actually. Some goals I can't believe I wrote down. Sometimes if I know I’m going to write little goals one day, I try to write as much as I can. I have accomplished 20+ goals, I try my best to review my goals when I can. I actually like the concept of having a goals journal, it helps me keep track. Also, it pushes and encourages me to try to complete them.

I cannot be committed to being a CTR person 24/7, unfortunately. I feel that it can’t be as simple as sewing for me. I know I will make mistakes, and there will be times where I know I would do something wrong. This does not mean that I will always choose the wrong and not care. I will always try my best to make the right decisions, I still will try to avoid the difficulties in high school. I will always try my best to be a better person, as I know what’s to happen if I stray from the right path.

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

         -Mr. Haymore

When it comes to you making your own decisions, Mr. Haymore states that the ultimate choice is to become a CTR person always. As when becoming a CTR person completely changes and affects your life after. It does not ruin your life, it does not harm those around you. But it benefits you in many ways, as it allows you to be better overall. There would be no consequences to anything, as you wouldn’t be doing anything wrong. Choosing the wrong will only lead you to a difficult future, as well to many consequences that would affect you and those around you. So it is better to be a CTR person always, than to choose the wrong.

Do Right

“Dare to do right.”

                            -Rex D. Pinegar

  This quote is very easy to understand. Sometimes you can be left to make a “difficult” decision, but the best choice is the right choice. As Rex D. Pinegar quotes, “Dare to do right.” he states it right then and there. It is the better character to make the right choices, even if you may stick out or even be see as the “bad” one. You have to be brave enough to make the right decisions and to choose the right. Pinegar’s quote shows this, as you can only have the best outcomes and you would also be trusted when taking responsibility. With this, you should never take the easy way out, you should  “DARE TO DO RIGHT” and choose the right decisions when the time comes.

“Dare to stand alone.”

                                      -Thomas S. Monson

   If you are ever pushed to be alone for the best for yourself, do it! If you know what is right and you stand up for it by yourself, stay on it! No matter how much you stand out, don't conform to the wrongdoings of others. When you have to, it is better to be alone and doing the right thing than to do the wrong thing with the wrong people. You can be the better person, who makes the best decision. When making the wrong choices, you will be alone to blame. So it is better to be alone focusing on your right and good path. Don't stray away to the path of choosing the wrong and affecting your future. Be a CTR person and “dare to stand alone” if you need to.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

                                    -Theodore Roosevelt

When it comes to the need to take an action, it is the best thing to do the right thing. As Theodore Roosevelt had stated, you must acknowledge this quote. If you were to do the opposite of this, there would only be consequences to those actions. Many people chose the “easy way out”, but you have to ask yourself; Is it really the right way? NO. It's not all, it will only bring you lower than where you already are. As the only way you can have a positive through doing the better deed. If a parent were to trust you with a chore, then it is your responsibility to do it. But if you were to ignore what your parents had asked, there will be a consequence to that. The only way you can avoid the consequences is by choosing the right. It will only help you and others surrounding you.

Nothing

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

                                                                           -Wilford Woodruff

This quote shows how an individual cannot have any good outcomes when doing the opposite of what is good. As there are consequences to your actions, and rewardings to your good deeds. Even when  you think something good is coming out of something bad, you’re wrong. When only thinking of yourself and not considering others, those are selfish acts. That is why it is best to remember that you should treat others the way you want to be treated. As you reap what you sew, this even comes towards your own actions. It is best to do what is right, it is both rewarding and a better thing to do for yourself and others. To be a CTR person as well as to show great character, instead of choosing the wrong and suffering the consequences.

“It's A GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.”

-Pam Knox

When a mistake is made, it is best to take full responsibility for it. As it shows how you can be trusted, as well as well looked upon by others. Being an honest person shows how you have good character. Although it may depend on the situation, you should always take responsibility for the actions you made. Also when the opportunity comes, you can step up and be a better person. The outcomes of hiding your responsibilities will only make things harder on you. So it's best to choose the right and take responsibility for your actions and choices.

The 10 Indian Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all that dwells therein with respect.
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit
3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness whenever needed.
6. Do what you know to be right.
7. Look after the well-being of mind and body.
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
10. Take full responsibility for your actions.
    

When it comes to the 10 Commandments, I think of the bible and the story of Moses. I don't mean to offend anyone, I will respect these beliefs. However, when it comes to why you follow something it is because it is the right thing to do. I try to follow the 10 Commandments of the bible, with these being somewhat similar. The main focus of these commandments(above) is to be a better person. These commandments are to show respect to everything and everyone. It is the right thing to do for yourself and others. As the outcomes will only be positive, because it brings unity and kindness among others. So it's better to follow the 10 Commandments, being how you stand and where you come with your heritage.

Goodness

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."

                                           -Henry David Thoreau

     When it comes to doing what is right, it will never negatively affect you. When it comes to business, some investments may fail leading you to learn a few mistakes you made. Many invest their time in their work, and a good outcome happens. Some invest their times in their electronics instead of their work. Nothing positive comes out of this however, as it affects how you are perceived and how you become. Being good is something you can never be tired of, because it will feel good. Goodness, it is something that helps yourself and others. It leaves a memorable impression as well as a better one.  

Sound & Good

“ It is our duty to concentrate all of our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound.” (not good)

                                                                     -Joseph Smith

Joseph Smith shows how to be good should be popularized. As many find that the simple and wrong way is the best way. Smith’s statement tells us that we must make what is good and right popular, and make what is wrong unpopular. As choosing what is right should be popularized. One person choosing what is best benefits the individual. All that is good is seen as rewarding for yourself and others. Leaving a good reputation and allowing a person to trust you.

Be True

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."

                                  -Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln shows us how we may and can follow the right person. But if that person were to do something wrong, we must not follow him. Everyone makes mistakes, but some make them by choice. Even if a person who always tries to choose the right chooses the wrong once. Don’t follow that person, because if it tells you in your mind that it wasn’t right then don’t repeat it. As Lincoln states, he will only follow someone when they are right. When the person does something wrong, you will separate from that person and continue choosing the right. Then you will stay in a good path, and not stray away from choosing the right.

Character

"Character is higher than intellect."

                  -Ralph Waldo Emerson

      Ralph Waldo Emerson shows how the way you act around others matters more. Many people believe value in someone is their intelligence, but that is not true. Intellect is defined as the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, especially with regard to abstract or academic matters. While character is defined as the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. Many people are intelligent, but not many people show good character. You show you're a better person by your actions, not by your intelligence. So it is best to be a person of good character who chooses the right than a person with just intellect.

"I trust that my hard work will pay off."

              -Tyler Haws
   Tyler Haws shows how one can be certain about the outcome of their actions. As from being a star basketball player for 2 years to becoming a missionary. He believes that all things will happen positively, he trusts that. When it comes to everyone else, it is well rewarded to choose the righteous path. As Tyler Haws chose to serve as a missionary, he left his basketball team. Haws did choose the better path to help others, as he later became the top scorer of BYU. This shows how choosing the better path pays off. You know when you chose the right when you trust the positive outcomes.

The Truly Good

"They're only truly great who are truly good."

                                                           -George Chapman

As goodness=greatness, George Chapman shows that those who are great are good. When making good and righteous decisions, you show your greatness. With our school motto/ or quote "You are greatness waiting to happen.", this quote shows how you can be. Like you can have a great personality, with it you can have a good conscience. It is best to show how great you can be by how good you act. Choosing the right would show most of these qualities. So it is best to show those around you the best of you, this shows how great you are.

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it."

                                                            -George Mitchell

When it comes to accomplishing your goals, it is already known what is wrong and what is right. As you know when you're cheating, which is wrong. When making the wrong decisions, you will not always feel good about it. It will leave you with guilt until you do what is right. As George Mitchell's statement is true. It is the best to choose the right instead of cheat your way to victory. Because the outcome would only be a lie, instead of the truth.

       
 "I won't cheat."

            -Dale Murphy

This quote by Dale Murphy shows how Dale Murphy would not do anything that is seen as wrong. Choosing to not cheat is to choose the better path in life. As Murphy shows this as an athlete who a shows good actions on and off the field. Cheating is a way of deceiving those around you and getting what you want through a shortcut. It is not fair to others around you. It is best to be fair to others. As there are better and more positive outcomes if you choose to be fair than to cheat.

A Right Heart

"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all."

                  -Benjamin Franklin

When it comes to a person's personality and character, it is very good for someone to have a good heart. Having a good heart gives you a positive reputation, as you would be well known. No matter how beautiful or good looking you are, how much value your possessions are. None of it will ever really matter but who you really are. Being humble and kind to others beyond your wealth is valued. Others will know you, they would not think wrong of you. If you were to be a good looking, wealthy person, with no good character. Then your reputation would only have a negative outlook on yourself. So it's best to do what is right and be of a kind heart.

What We Do Today

"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today."

                    -James Freeman Clarke

In life all your decisions impact how your future will be. The best thing to do for yourself  is to choose the best decisions. As when you make the right choice and act accordingly, your future will build in a positive way. Your reputation will be positive and people will be able to count on you. Unless you were to make the wrong choices, there would be a whole range of consequences. Your reputation would be negative, and those around you would not see you for who you can be. So it's best to choose the right, so all you can wait for success in the end.

" Ask yourself if it is right or wrong and act accordingly."

-Otto Graham, Jr.

This quote shows how one can know from right or wrong. Each person has the knowledge and capability to know what to do. As Otto Graham shows this through the quote, he tries to speak to everyone. Being raised in a household with manners as a child, everyone learns through their parent's actions. Leaving you to grow up learning right from wrong, it allows you to grow better and more as a person. Your own judgment is what decides the outcomes or consequences of your actions. Choosing the right allows you to have a easier life and less things to worry about. But if you choose to make the wrong decisions, it leaves in a tougher and more difficult place as before.
