CTR ///

“ You will go far with CTR” - Mr. Haymore
Reflection: I totally agree with this statement. I think that it should be very important to everyone because it's basically telling you that when you choose the right, you gain and gain and gain. I think that it all has to do with the type of person you are and the things you do. You will find success when you do the right things and it leads you to good things. On the other hand, when you do something bad, you have to deal with the consequences that it brings you. I believe that when you are a person who always chooses the right things and that makes the effort to be a good person, you achieve more because then it shows you are more determined.

The Ultimate Choice // Haymore

The ultimate Choice

Of all the choices you will ever make, one choice supersedes all others - The ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make correct decisions for the remainder of your life. This one choice, the ultimate choice, is your keystone for being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for the good more than any other choice.
The Ultimate choice is to be a CTR person - to always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7.
Mr. Haymore
Reflection: I think that this ultimate choice is what makes our lives better because we live it to be genuinely happy. I think that if we always choose this choice then we will have benefits and not bad consequences. Being a CTR person means to always do whats right even if it gives you temporary bad consequences. Being a person that does the right thing alll the time will lead you to success.

Harmful Effects of Tobacco

Harmful Effects of Tobacco

Tobacco leads to diseases in the heart and lungs. It will also affects areas such as hands or feet. Smoking is also a major risk factor for heart attacks, COPD and more. Nearly 90% of adults began smoking when they were high school students. 14% of students reported to smoke during the last month. To promote non-smoking, we need to get everyone to be aware of the harmful effects of this.

Peace in The world

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,

there will be peace in the world.

Conclusion:

- Chinese Proverb

Reflection: I completely agree with this statement. I agree with this statement because it is talking about how to have peace in the world, we should be nice and good good character and know how to act. I think that to make peace in the world, everyone here would have to start choosing the right and doing no bad.

Teen Challenges

Challenges Teens Face Today

Some challenges teens face today are cyber bullying, sex, drugs and alcohol, grades, broken homes, violence and self esteem and body image. I think im dealing with stress, grades, and self esteem and/or body image. I think that being a CTR student is important when it comes to drugs and alcohol because if you are a CTR student then you would know that not doing those is better. I also think that it could be useful when having friend who influence you with bad things.
I think that talking things out and giving advice to
other teens would be really helpful for them.
Reflection: I think that the greatest need people have are
fitting in, school, and not being over scheduled.

Honor vs Cheating

A sophomore wrestler, Malik Stewart, lost a match against Mitchell McKee and instead of being mad that he lost, he went over to his opponent's dad and gave him a hug and congratulated him. He did not cheat and he lost with honor. 








Roman Chapa, a horse racer, was caught cheating by
electrocuting his horse with an electrical device. He
won by cheating. WHen a guy posted a picture of
him cheating on a

website, he demanded them to take it down.

Sophocles

“ I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating"

-Sophocles

Reflection: I find this statement really important because its basically saying that its better to do something right and fail than to be cheating and actually win at something. I think that everyone should think that this is good because it is much better to fail by doing the right than win by doing the wrong. I think that if you fail doing right, you can win because you can always try again. I believe that choosing the right may not always make you win but you can do your best and never do the wrong. For example, i would prefer to fail my math test because i didnt study, than to pass it because i cheated off a friend.

Stress

Current Health-Related Issue

Researchers have found many implications stress has over our bodies. It also states many reasons why some people might be stressed. Which are financial problems, relationship problems and work problems. It also states that around 75% of us have experienced moderate to high levels of stress in the past month. Anyone can be involved with this because we all get stressed at some point in our lives. Since people are stressed they use drunks or alcohol, or “ comfort eat” which can lead to obesity and diabetes. People suggest that if you are stressed out to positive self talk, find pleasure and relaxation and to count from 10-0 to feel more relaxed.

Reflection: I think that stress is hard to handle and sometimes we have to relax. I think that since we are stressed we try to remove stress by smoking, drinking and even excessive eating. We should try other things like counting from 10-0 because it helps more to calm down for a bit.I think this article relates to me because i feel stressed once in a while too and this kind of helped me.

8. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside.

Reflection: I think a lot of people can learn from these eight reasons to tell the truth because it explains why you shouldnt lie. I think that my favorite one would be number six. I think that it is very true because one you lie once, to keep your first lie, you begin to make up more lies. I think that soon after you start lying a lot, you begin to make it normal but you will get caught sooner or later.I think the one that is most important here is the last one number eight. I think its the most important because its about how you feel after you’ve told the truth. It says Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside. I think that its important because when you have told the truth, you don't have to worry about getting caught because you know you have done the right thing.
