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.

Class Evaluation

         To start, the things mostly appreciated in this class are the manners we learn to share. In other classes students seem different as in they don't know how to behave. However, in this class, student act respectfully not only to the teacher but also to their classmates. I really likes this because I can see what we have learn developing in other students and in myself. This class teaches us that we can be different or at least try every day, harder and harder.

            Some things I didn't like about this class was that I couldn't fully agree to everything Mr. Haymore said. It made me think twice about my own beliefs and self teachings but I don't know if this was right. Right now I have decided that I can think my own way, and go to my self-beliefs but still be respectful for his ideas. It doesn't matter if we are both different, both of our opinions still matter.

            I recommend for Mr. Haymore to improve on his actions and tasks and less on his words. I agree that teaching students about this specific subject is incredibly great, but students want more to do and for him to show us what's best to do, instead of having to hear it. Most thing are hard for us teens to hear and believe. Also, there are some sayings that what comes to one ear comes out through the other. Definitely, his teaches are great and are capable of improving one's life, but to give it a push I would recommend this.

            A highlight for me in this class was the way Mr. Haymore is convinced as he teaches. Most teachers teach because that's there job, but in this case it looks as if this is his passion. I wouldn’t judge is a teacher wasn’t satisfied with their subject or work, but I also appreciate when they do. Mr. Haymore is one kind man and I love seeing him love his students aswell. I am good at spotting small things, and this is one of the many highlights I’ve seen,

           I believe that I did do my best in this class. Although this was an easy class for me, I am sure there would be other students who wouldn’t even try to pass it. This is my 3rd Block class, and also my elective. This block gives me a chance to find or think about my future. I can right goals for myself. I can also see this more than just an education class, I can see it as a one more step to my life.

              I am also reading and writing on my Life Planning Goals Journal at least five minutes daily and reporting them to my E-Portfolio. This journal is where I make and think about goals I want to accomplish in my life. Some of these goals are either educational, familiar, or for myself. At the end all of these goals take me to only one place which is success.

               In essence, I will start committing myself on being a CTR person because it’s the best I can do for myself and for others. Also, being this kind of person can teach me many more things throughout my journey of life. I also know that if there’s more people like me, then I know that I won’t be alone.
