“Enthusiasm makes the difference”

~Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Enthusiasm makes a big difference in our Daily Lives. How? Well, when you start your day- everyday, what you do depends on your mood. For example, if you woke up in a super good mood, you make breakfast for yourself and maybe for someone else. When you wake up in a unpleasant mood however, you don’t even want to talk to anyone. Your day starts and goes off by what you decided to do. If you decided to be lazy, probably you got nothing done. If you decided to be interactive and proactive you probably got what you wanted to get done, done. You only live life once, and by not being enthusiastic or anything, you’re wasting a day that you won’t get back ever again. So, for a good advice, I can advise you to work hard and work smart, with encouragement. No matter what happened or what’s on your mind, we still have to keep our day going, so might as well do it with Enthusiasm.

“I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right.”

~Dean Smith

Dean Smith maybe left a quite good impression about himself, not only through how an amazing coach he was, but also as a great human being with a good character. He states that he was only trying to do what’s right, and that however led him to be the greatest college basketball coach of all. We should all learn from him and try to mock good CTR people. This way, we can all end up in the right direction like Dean did, and maybe even become legends like him. In the end, our heart and mind have to be going for the goal of being a good, honest, and responsible person but we should never do it for the attention we might get. If this happens, are dreams might as well just come crashing down and we don’t give nor receive anything this way.

Student Success Statement

“Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation”

~Theodore Roosevelt

As we can see, all the work being done in this world or right now, is not as great or as important of taking well care of our body, mind, and character. Sometimes we don’t even realize that these three things are part of our daily job, and we do get distracted. In the contrary, our jobs are for us to be able to help ourselves and others. We have to be in the best we can be starting from the top of our heads to the bottom of our feet. While having this we can now spread what we know to others. This comes from our part of character. Our body works only towards the good things in helping others, our mind does the job of being optimistic and positive, and finally our character is what helps us stay strong and build Us.

Reflection:

My opinion about this job is that I would love to be a Medical Assistant. However, my requirements may be a little to much of my specialty. I will however work hard and do my best into getting the right job that fits for me. While doing so, I can also explore other jobs or subjects that might be in my interest.

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

~Mr. C.S. Haymore

To take responsibility might already sound scary for some people, but to take responsibility for our own self is what we really have to be able to do. Our body, mind, and spirit is what makes all of us. If we don’t take care of ourselves, then no one else will. We can all have trouble with taking responsibility with one, or maybe all of them, but that cannot stop us from trying harder. If this takes you to the next level of being “CTR” then I can assure you that it’s worth it. No matter what people say, the only thing that matters is taking responsibility for yourself and all they want is to bring others down. I believe that all it takes is to think about the success you will have at the end result, and you also have to learn to love yourself.

What is the Demand for LPNs? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, LPN-related job growth is projected to be 22 percent through 2020. Growth above the national average makes an LPN credential attractive, and there are other reasons alicensed practical nurse is likely to find stellar job security in the future.

Reflection:

My opinion of the LPN profession is that it reminds me of a normal nurse a lot. However, I think that this wouldn’t be a really bad job to try. All I would really want is to get a job where I would be able to help people and myself, and that would help me in a lot of ways. Many people just do this for money and I think they have the right, but I also think they have the right to enjoy helping and working for others. Instead of staying in a selfish mind, they can cooperate and start growing in their talent.

Student Success Statement

“Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education”

~Martin Luther King Jr.

This quote explains to u s that our intelligence doesn’t make anyone complete. Even though we think that we are sometimes perfect, whether we’re smart, talented, or very nice people we can sometimes fail in our own moment in life. Being any of the thing I’ve mentioned before, makes us different and special from others, however to be complete we need to be 100% accurate of ourselves. We can do this by doing the best in our part of intelligence and the part of our character. After we’ve done everything necessary we have now accomplished on being complete and being better. When we know we have finished now, it’s good to show other people. We can also teach them what we have finished and they can end up changing as well.

Reflection…

My opinion about this profession is not really would I would like to actually work in when I choose my career. There are many jobs I can find to help other people, or jobs that I would actually like and enjoy my time with. However, this job doesn’t really call my attention but I would still want to work in something health related or where I can help people.

‘We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn’t do.”

~Richard L. Evans

This absolute encouraging quote is telling and explaining to us that we should start doing what is needed to be done and not waste time doing what is easier for us. I call this being narcissistic because you’re only thinking about what you like and enjoy, instead of really thinking about what is good for others and what is the right thing to do. Maybe changing by taking small steps can be the best thing to do in this moment but realizing that you should make a better person of yourself can be a big start.

School Break Days

Well now that we are all back to school, I’m ready to talk about the fun I had. My winter break/Christmas was the best I’d yet had. From all my past experiences I’ve only been able to watch t.v and draw but nothing more during break. However, I tried changing that by taking small steps. I started with buying all the food I needed to survive my cravings. I went to the candy store and bought my three favorite bag of chips, I bought candy, chocolate, and so much more. Meanwhile this during, I had a lot of stop ups with people I recognized and knew. It was fun seeing them and talking to them, especially to the woman who cuts my hair when I go to her salon. Anyways, the best part of this vacation was being able to watch my favorite shows without being interrupted. I almost finished watching my #2 favorite show called “Teen Wolf”. I ended up in season 5 and now I just need the last one to go. My other favorite shows that I’ve been watching are “Supernatural” and “The Walking Dead”. I would say that the worst part of my break was the homework that was assigned to me by my English teacher Ms.Pinto. The task was to complete two essays, each with a distinct prompt.
