"You will go far with CTR."

~Mr. Haymore

In life decisions need to be made, so to choose the right one we choose between the 'right' and 'wrong' one. Both answers take you to two total different ways. The right one takes you to the path where your conscious is clean and the wrong path take you down a path where you'll have regret and terrible consequences. Some examples of the consequences you can expect are losing friends, getting in trouble, getting caught, and having nightmares. Living in regret is not a good thing for anyone so my advice would be to choose the right path. This path will show you the good things in life and make you look into the past and laugh at your old self. In this path you will feel like a renewed person and feel different in a good way. Also, things are going to seem easier for you like getting help, earning trust, and making friends. In conclusion, if anyone takes the wrong path, they will feel like life has ended for them and that's when bad thoughts come into their mind. Even if you're the one who CTR's it's still important to help others. In other words, we need to help those who make the wrong decisions.

Class Evaluation

My sophomore year was the most challenging school year ever for me. No matter what challenges were brought up to me, I enjoyed every moment of both semesters. I enjoyed my classes, the teachers, my classmates, and my friends. Whether I had math, English, science, or history next I tried to learn in every second. The class I really enjoyed most was my Computers class. I loved that we all got to try out something new and we learned more about it every day by Mr. Haymore. Learning how to code was difficult to understand in the beginning, but at the end I could manage to do it all by myself.

There was one thing that I didn't like from this class, and it was that he moved us at the second semester. I enjoyed being with my partner and I was starting to know them better until he took that opportunity away from me. Now, I think it's more awkward to make a conversation with person solo.  

Despite all the pros and cons of this class, one recommendation I have to improving this class is to do more technological work. For example, everyday we start of with sometimes writing in our journal, or searching up on a career. Then, we go into our student success statement. Next, we go to our code page to finish up where we left off. Finally, in total we use our computer only three times for only 40-50 minutes. I would've loved to have more time to put in more words into my student success statements, and have more time to practice my coding.

One highlight that I had in this class were the convincing words I heard everyday. I can sometimes think negatively but when I remember that what I do is redeemable I go back to being okay. This was a highlight for me because when some think that words mean nothing, they do. Sometimes you hear wisdom words and ignore them, but later on when you think about doing something wrong, those words always come back.

Overall, I believe that I tried my best in this class and I gave it my all. Sometimes other classes might have gotten me a little behind in some work here, but I tried to manage to do what I can. I also worked hard on my computer work like the daily career summaries and my daily student statements. I really loved doing those because they opened my mind in many things even if I don’t see right away, I do notice it. Also, working on coding might've been difficult and confusing at the beginning, but I worked on and focused to get it right.

I know that writing and reading might not be the thing for everyone, but for me I think that it's not about wanting to but about having to. I believe that everyone should be reading their journals for at least five minutes every day. I myself, do this because I really want to become a better person because I know I'm not. I always try to put more goals into my mind and why they should be important to me. I also try to talk some of my friends to do the same thing even if they think it's crazy. Even if I just speak to them I know I've just planted a seed.

In conclusion, at the end, everyone around you can see your true self, and I believe that everyone should see me as a CTR person. My actions are meant to evolve me and everyone around me. If I do a good action, I want my brothers to see that they can do the same. However, if I do a bad action it affects my brothers negatively. This is why I try as hard as I can to do the right thing, and when I forget I write on paper what I did wrong and try not to do it again. Even this can take practice, but it's all worth it at the end because you have peace and happiness in you, and you don't need to worry about getting in trouble.

"The ultimate choice is to be a CTR person – To always choose the right 24/7"

~Mr. Haymore

Mr. Haymore helps us believe that choosing to be a CTR person is the only choice that can make the best out of someone. How? Some may ask. Well a person who makes the right decisions always gets a good result. For example, a person who doesn't cheat on a test and passes it all by themselves can be someone who awaits for a bright future who would someday know the real answer to the question they didn't cheat on. Some may careless about ctr, but they never know when they really need it, and usually they end up very bad and without trust. Trust less people can end up in the streets thinking that they have no hope and that no one loves them, and that they are good for nothing in this world. However, that's not true, the only thing they need is to make the right decision to make their path a good path in this life. If you choose to put goals and challenges ahead of you, and you out in your head that you're going to make it, then you will. Finally, that is how you live with the decision of being a CTR person.

Orlando Nightclub Shooting

• I choose this topic because I recently heard about it. I know that many people died that day and it was all just because of person with hate inside them. They describe the shooting was created by a 29 year old security guard, who killed 49 people and wounded 53 while in a terrorist/hate attack. This happened inside Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, United States. This man was punished by being shot and killed by OPD officers. This night is also described as the "deadliest mass shooting" by a single shooter and the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in the United States history. Describing the story, the gunman's name was Mateen. That day he was just working an extra shift when he past all the guards and started shooting. He sought a lot of people hiding and went to the places he knew people would be hiding. He went to the restroom and started shooting, which killed 2 people and wounded several. Meanwhile, during all this chaos, many people were confused, some thought all the racket was part of the loud music, and some were just panicking. After, some paramedics, firefighters, and policemen came to the rescue. My opinion about all of this is why would someone do such terrible acts and think that they are doing it for the right of all. They deserve more punishment than death, since all they know what to do is take innocents lives away.

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, then there will be peace in the world. In conclusion, if there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world."

Anyone who has peace in them can be contagious, and I believe that this is what this Chinese Proverbs is about. If you give and act out in good character, others will do the same. I don't think anyone who’s given a bad character has received any better in return. So, an example of what good character and peace looks like can be when you are serving the community. When you serve the community you bring joy to people and to whom you're working for. An example of bad character that doesn't bring peace are gangs. Gangs are known to be the worst problem in every city and they can have the highest rate of deaths. I don't think death brings happiness to anyone, it only bring rage and sadness. To conclude, I believe that the more good deeds are made everyday, the more peace we can get and then we will have the 'peace in the world' for everyone, because everyone deserves it.

Yoga Therapist

Duties and Responsibilities:

The number one job of a yoga therapist is to keep their clients healthy, flexible and safe. They must ensure that all the poses are executed correctly and without injury, which requires close attention to the abilities of their clients and concise instruction. During these hours of classes a trainee will learn about individualized teaching, experiential approaches to education, taking yoga outside the classrooms, and health and wellness, the psychology and philosophy of yoga and workouts that revolve around students. Some yoga instructors choose to focus on one specific goal of a yoga class such as yoga for back pain, depression, or seniors.

Salary: $18,690

Education:

Some people study small-business ownership, anatomy or physiology through local community colleges. Professional training aimed at nurses, massage therapist, or other health care professionals is also widely available.

Demand or Need:

Fitness trainers and instructors/ therapists, typically do not require any education, but most have a high school diploma.

Reflection: I believe that a Yoga Therapist would be for people who are patient with others, and are fanatics of Zen. This would never match with me or my personality because I belong in an O.R.

Student Success Statement

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

~Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle states that a man without a goal[s] in his life is like a boat in the ocean or sea without any destination lying above it. No one wants to be in a boat who doesn't go places because the boat would be of no use. Just like someone who lives life with no purpose is just a waste of time and energy. Everyone was created with a purpose, our job is only to find that purpose and make our life most important goal and that is living life how it's suppose to be. Some people who do enjoy life, put a little extra to it, like their own personal goals and things they want to go and places they want to see. In order to find that goal that is missing from someone, you have to find what you love most, what you worry about most and what interests you the most. Put everything together and make a goal that will save you from a non-purpose trip in this world.
