Class Evaluation

Some things I like about this class is that we learn about statements that will help us in our life. Another thing I like is that everyday we leave this class with new knowledge and a new view of life.

Some things I dislike about this class is that I feel that sometimes I feel like we are judging people who have done bad things without knowing their reasons. They do something and we right away think they are bad, but we don't know what lead them to do what they did.

Some recommendations for improving the class is to sometimes give us the chance to type about things that interest us. For example, type about your favorite song and why you it is meaningful.

A highlight for me in this class was when I did the right thing by returning a charge I found in my desk.

I feel like I do, do my best in this class. I always try to get the information I need and I think deeply about the statements and what I am being asked. I also provide as much information as I need and explain thoroughly

Yes, I am reading my Life Planning Goals Journal for at least five minutes daily and reporting. Everyday I read my goals and put victory on the ones I have completed and look at the ones I still need to be able to complete them.

I am committed to being a CTR person. When I can I try to always CTR, but sometimes it isn't as easy as it seems and it takes you longer to do what is right. When I remember I am a CTR and I know that in the past I have done things I'm not happy about, but from now on I will try to do what is right. People also need to give you the chance to show that you changed because I feel like they are so caught up in the pass that they don't realized you have changed.

Honestly

In this video we learned about the importance of being honest all the time. First we see students who are getting ready to take a test. When the test starts a student doesn’t know the answers, so she asks her friend to for help. By help she meant that her friend should give her the answers. At the end the girl tells her friend no because she doesn't want to cheat. In the video we were also showed an example of cheat in a medical school. In the medical school they were taking a test and when the teacher walked out some students decided to take out their notes and cheat. It wasn’t fair for the other students who weren’t cheating so a man decides to take a stand. He tells them the hardship some of them had to go through to get to that medical school and it isn’t fair that most of them cheat their way to the top. He tells them that if they cheat he will tell on them so they put the papers away. From this video I learned that no matter how hard something might be you should never cheat your way to the top. Imagine if you become a doctor, but you cheat your way up, the patient might end up dying. Don’t cheat and always stick to the truth.

“When you tell one lie, it leads to another.”

-Paul Hatch

This statement means that if you start telling lies you won’t be able to stop. Once you start you can’t stop, so it is better to always try to stick with the truth. Yes, sometimes the truth hurts and it sucks, but it is better to be honest with someone than to have them figure out you lied to them. No matter how much the truth hurts or how hard it might be always, always tell the truth. For example, if you disobey your parents and you tell them a lie to cover it up you will continue to lie to them and then you will just lie to them for the rest of your life. Once you do it, it will become easier and you will just lie without thinking. The lie will roll out of your mouth without you fully think about it because your brain is used to lying and it will try to make you lie when the truth can’t be told. Don’t let lies control you, you are better than that, you can’t let your life be surrounded by lies. If you lie and people find out they won’t believe you when you say the truth because they will think that you are just lying again. When you tell the truth no matter how truth it might be no one will believe you because you are already label as a liar. You can prevent all of this from happening if you just stick to the truth since the beginning. Your life is easier if you tell the truth, so tell the truth.

The Sting of the Scorpion

-Patrick Kearon

When Patrick was a little boy he will go camping at the desert with his parents. His parents always told him to put in his shoes when he goes walking, but one morning he decided to disobey and just put his flip-flops on instead. He was walking when he felt a thorn on his foot, when he looked back he saw a scorpion. He described the pain as the worst thing ever. He didn’t only hurt himself, but his parents as well, they were in pain because they didn’t know if he will make it. That day Patrick learned an important lesson that he will always remember his life, he should have put on his shoes, not be lazy, and listen to his parents. If he had chosen the right he wouldn’t have experienced this pain. The sting of the scorpion doesn’t only relate to the pain you feel when you get stung by one, but the pain you feel when you did what is wrong. The pain you feel when you decided to disobey your parents. The pain you feel when you do what is wrong, the guilt.

 

“Always Do Right.”

-Mark Twain

There are many things in life that you should do, but the main thing is to always do what is right. No matter the situation you are in you should always, always do right. For example, if you said that you were going to bring something or going somewhere with your friends and you end up not going and you didn’t tell them anything about it, that is not doing what is right. Let’s say you couldn’t make it and that is fine, but that doesn’t mean you can’t call or text as to why you couldn’t go. I know something you don’t hear your phone or you don’t have your phone with you, but you can easily call them later, but at least do it. Another example, is if you forgot your friend’s birthday, but you remember later on, don’t say or it’s too late now and don’t call her or anything. No it is never too late, just call her and be honest as to why you forgot and that you are sorry and that it will never happen again. In order to succeed in life you have to always do right, no matter how hard it might be. Your life and the life of others will be better if you always do right. We trend to do other stuff, but when we have to do what is right we never do it, sadly.  

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

-Unknown

This is a very important quote that we have at least heard once in our lifetime. Maybe your parents told you this when you are by yourself or maybe it was told to you by someone else and because of another reason. This quote means that if the friends you are going to have are going to do bad things and then force you to do them too, then it is better to be by yourself. It sucks to be by yourself, but that’s better than ending up in jail or worse, killed.  At the end those ‘friends’ of yours will end up leaving you so you might as well be alone now and not risk going through something bad. Some examples of this quote are: what will you prefer to be, alone at you house reading or maybe on your phone or being at a party where underage kids are drinking? Would you prefer to be safe and sound at you house or at jail? These are not hard questions the answer is straightforward it is just up to you to do what is right or wrong. If you have bad company you will pretty much be alone because even though there are people around you, you will still feel wrong and lonely because you know you don’t want to be there. I believe this is one of the quotes we should always live by. I think this quote will take us far if we actually listen to it and do what it says. It is unfortunate that we don’t know who came up with it, but I’m thankful that we know it.

World War II

The World War II started from September 1 1939- September 2 1945. The war was fought between two groups of countries. One side was the axis Powers which included Germany, Italy, and Japan. The other side were the Allies which included Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, China, and the United States. The war started because in 1937 Japan attacked China and in 1939 Germany invaded Poland. As stated by the name the war occur all around the globe. Some took place in Russia, Europe, Africa, Pacific Ocean, Asia, Middle East, Mediterranean Sea, Scandinavia, Eurasia, Southeast Asia, and Atlantic Ocean. On December 7, 1941 the the Japanese Navy attacked the Pearl Harbor and this lead the United States to enter the war. The attacked was in Hawaii, and they were attacked to keep the US Pacific Fleet from interfering from military actions. Another event that took place during the World war II was that on June 6, 1944 Western Europe was liberated from Nazi Germany’s control. There was a battle that began that day called D-Day, in this day 156,00 Americans, Canadians, and British landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. This battle let the the freedom of Western Europe. On May 8, 1945 an Atomic Bomb was sent and it hit many cities in Japan. In Europe the war ended when the Nazi Germany surrender, but since Japan didn’t want to give up the war continued. Some ways to honor and show respect is to have a minute of silence for them. Take to thank them and not take what they did for granted. We should always remember them even though we had zero idea who they were we should always thank them and remember these dates.

Challenges Teens Face Today

Several of the major challenges teens deal with today are, but not limited to:

• Self-Esteem and Body Image- Not being confident, trying to be what society says
• Stress- Can be caused by school or anything they might be going through
• Bullying- Being badly tease by others
• Depression- When you don't expression your feelings
• Cyber Addiction- Being on your phone a lot, social media
• Drinking and Smoking- They think it’s the way to solve problems
• Eating Disorders- Not liking your image so you try to lose weight by not eating right
• Peer Pressure- Doing what your friends say
• Family Problems- Divorces, abuse, etc.

Two major challenges that I face today are being on my phone too much and I’m not that confident in myself. For example, I take more time in my phone than doing something that is better for me. I also spend less time outside because I’m on my phone. I have confidence, but not as much as i should. For example, even when I know the answer to something I’m afraid to raise my hand and say the answer. I’m not confident in my answers and that leads to doubting myself a lot. Most of the time I know what to do, but I doubt myself so much that I think I did everything wrong. I am trying to spend less time in my phone and only use it when I need it. I am also trying to be around confident people to see if I become confident myself. I also try to just go with my guts and believe in myself. Being a CTR person helps me face my challenges because if I pick the right then I wouldn’t be on my phone as much. I will also be confident in who I am, if I’m a CTR person. I can help other teens to overcome their challenges by telling them my story and telling them all the chances I have miss for not being confident. I can show them how the world is better if we are confident and if we just take a look from our phone and see the world. Show them all I have miss for being on my phone and not being confident in myself. The greatest needs that teens need is attention. I feel that if parents or just people they love showed them the attention they need they might not go through a lot of these problems. If the got attention their parents might know that they are going through depression, eating disorders, bullying, and etc. If the parents know this they will be able to help in time and the teen won’t get worse. This can only happen if they get the attention they need and deserve.

“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. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.” -President John F. Kennedy

President John F. Kennedy means that you can only be at your best when your body is healthy and and strong. When you are tired you can’t do anything because your body doesn’t have the energy to do it. If you want to do something you need your intelligence and skill to be at its best and highest peak. For example, when you are sick or tired you can’t concentrate on homework or anything in general. This means that your body isn’t at its peak, it isn’t healthy and strong. Now if your body's health and strong you will be able to do anything. You will feel like you can do anything even what is impossible. Physical fitness doesn’t just mean to be healthy on the outside, but also in the inside. For example, you have to be physical fit in your mind and heart. In your mind meaning that you think positive because thinking positive leads to how you feel on the outside. In your heart it means that you are a kind person. If you aren’t kind you will eventually feel horrible about it, but if you are kind you will feel amazing and that will also affect who you are as a person. I believe this is what President John F. Kennedy meant with this statement.
