“You will go far with CTR.”

-Mr.Haymore

What this last quote of the year is saying is to ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RIGHT! When you choose the right good things will come back to you. You will get that car you want, you will graduate high school, you will go to college etc. good things only happen to good people. If you go out and do drugs, drink, and steal where are you going with your life? Where will you end up besides in jail or on house arrest? Don’t do good then all of a sudden start going down hill. You always want to strive to go up! Never down. Yes, there may be some difficulties throughout the year, but you have to learn from your mistakes. Use that as a lesson for the future. Read your goals and put all the effort into achieving them. If you decide to go out and make the wrong choice, think about how your mom will feel if she finds out her son/daughter in in jail or was caught stealing. Would you make your mom proud or will you make her disappointed in you? Don’t always do things to make your family proud, do it because that's what makes you proud. In the end you are going to have yourself to count on when you have fallen to walk the path of success alone. That’s okay though. Maybe on your journey you will find other people that will help you conquer every goal you have set for yourself. You will go far with CTR! Remember that for future references. Always remember to make not only your family happy but yourself happy too.

     What I liked about this class is that I got to learn how to type quicker than before and memorize the keyboard and where all the keys are at. I also learned that my life, my decisions. I don't need people in my life that aren't going to lead me in the right direction. I should focus on myself and do me. In the end It's going to be me and the people that I decide to keep with me for the rest of my life. I also liked about this class is that I learned to meet new people and sharing our experiences we had over break. 
      What I didn't like about this class is how everyone kept talking and interrupting when we were watching a video or when you were explaining a student success statement. I actually wanted to learn more about the statements because it gives me hope and I start to realize everything. From being a CTR person to making my own decisions. 
      My recommendations for improving the class is to play some soothing music and give kids free time like if they're being good. You should also do some activities with the class just so they are not always being on the computer. 
      A highlight for me in this class was when I learned a lot of lessons. Each statement we had to write made me more and more aware of my life and everything I need to do to make it better. 
      I think I really did do my best in this class because although I would talk to my partners my work still got done. I also made sure that I had every requirement for the assignment and if I didn't then I would go back and add more to make sure it was good. 
      I do read my life planning goals journal to remind me of all the things I want to successfully achieve my goals and everything else I have set forth. 
      I am committed to being a CTR person because when I was younger, my mom and dad were out doing drugs and making bad choices. That made me sad because I wasn't able to spend time with them my whole life as a kid. As I was growing up I always told myself that I didn't want to end up like them. In jail not being able to see my kids and make memories as they grow up. I will also stay committed to choosing the right because I want to make my family and people around me happy and show them that no matter how bad my life was when I was younger, I will not be the same person as they were. 

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

What this quote is trying to say is to always do what’s right no matter what situation you are in. Stand up for what you believe is the right thing to do. Don’t back down because no one is there to back it up with you. Do what’s right even if no one is for it. Don’t do what’s wrong because everyone is for it. Do what you have to do even if you walk the path of success alone. I would personally like to accomplish my goals on my own. I wouldn’t like to have people bringing me down everytime I make a mistake. I would like the people that will help me learn from them and tell me not to give up. People that are going to motivate me to do better each year. If I have to be that person by myself, I will. Throughout high school I learned that nothing is permanent. I have to accomplish my goals and worry about myself because no one got me like I got me. I’m going to make sure I always do the right thing no matter what. You should too. You should make sure everyone around you is doing what is right without having to be told. Whether it’s your friend, or brother or sister, remind them that they should ALWAYS choose the right.

Plumber

The topic I chose is plumber. Plumbers install and repair water supply lines, waste disposal systems, and related appliances and fixtures to keep homes and businesses flowing smoothly. They must also study building plans and inspect structures to assess the material and equipment needed. They must locate and mark the position of the pipe installations, connections,passage holes, and fixtures in structures, using measuring tools. If they need serious work, plumbers will install an underground water piping systems and extend piping to connect fixtures and plumbing to these systems. I chose this topic because I find it really interesting how they are able to work with pipes and see how the water works for toilets and sinks. I also chose this topic because I would like to learn more about how they learn and educate themselves to the job.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I don’t think I would like to be one because this career doesn’t fit in the medical pathway that I am looking into becoming. Also because I feel like maybe I could hurt them in some way while I’m trying to make them feel better.

Memorial Day Weekend

What I did on my Memorial weekend was go to San Diego. My sister, my Aunt and I packed our bags and took a road trip to San Diego. On our way over there, we stopped at La Vista Point where we saw the beautiful view and the squirrels. As soon as we arrived, we went to Seaport village. This village was something similiar to Santa Monica pier. You can go boat riding, fly kites or watch out in the ocean. While we were there, we visited the Navy Seal ship. We also just walked around and enjoyed every thing they had there to see. When we were done at the village, we left to the beach to watch the sunset. Although there was no sun at the time we were there, we did get to play around in the sand and put our feet in the water. We also went down by the rocks where the sea lions and ducks were. Watching them reminded me of the movie “Finding Dory.” My sister and I named all the Seals “Gerald” which is one of the seals from the movie. We also named the ducks “Becky,” also from the movie. In addition, we went to “Night life.” This is where all the people have fun in the streets and go clubbing. Unfortunately me and my sis were underage, so my mom took us to go eat at the “Burger Lounge.” The hamburgers there were really good. Lastly, we left and went straight to the hotel room to sleep. The next day, before it was time to go home, we went to a park where they had a beautiful church and a nice garden with beautiful roses. Me and my sis was having fun taking pictures and just talking about what we want to do. There was a lot of people there complementing our hair and that we looked like a rainbow. It was a really memorable weekend and I wish we can do it again.

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

What this quote is trying to say is that if you don’t have any goals in life, where will you go? Just like the ship, if it doesn’t have a rudder, then the ship won’t go anywhere but either straight or it will just sink. The many goals you have in life will lead you to where you want to go. You know the exact path you want to go down. You know exactly what you want to do with your life and not waste it. If the ship has the rudder, it will have its destination. Either Catalina ISland or the Bahamas etc. This is similar to you. The more goals you have, the more successful you are going to be in the future. You won’t have to worry about anyone but yourself. You will focus on you and make sure you make your dreams come true. Follow your dreams, what you want to do with your life. A man with a goal is like a ship with a rudder. You know where you want to go. From destination A to destination B. you know how you're going to succeed and accomplish that goal of yours. You can only do this if you have the goals that you need.
