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:

If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world.

- 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.

Eight Reasons to Tell the Truth

Eight Great reasons to tell the truth - Barbara A Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There’s less chance of misunderstanding, confusion or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth than for lying (and getting caught)
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don't have to tell( and remember) more likes to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful - a trait most people value
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.

Goals ///

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing them the best way i know how, everything else falls into line. If i do the right thing right, i’m going to succeed.”

- Dan Dierdorf

Reflection: I think that the more you think about your goals and if you try to achieve them you will succeed little by little.I think that since you are making the effort to try and be successful everything slowly goes into place because you’re doing what’s right.

Dennis Prager // Good Values

“ The most important thing you will ever have is good values ”

-Dennis Prager

Reflection: I agree with this statement a lot. I think that if you have good values in your life, it shows a lot about the type of person you are. I think that when you have good qualities and you are living life right, you have a lot more control over what happens. It’s important to have good values because you need to be a person that is good. I believe that values make you who you are. For example, A young girl feels like cheating on her test. But she had good values so she knows its wrong and does her own work. A bad example would be if a kid wanted to break cars, and since he had bad values, he did.

Rewards

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self esteem”

-Dr.Laura Schlessinger

I agree with this statement because its basically saying that when you choose the right, you will get rewarded not necessarily physical rewards, but internal rewards. I think that the best rewards are internal because you feel so much better and you become better too. I think that as you become a better person and always choose the right and whats best for you, you will become a better person and thats something that happens in the inside. I think that when you gain self respect, dignity, integrity and self esteem, you feel so much better both inside and out. I think that Dr. Lauren is trying to teach us that when we choose the right, the reward isnt always gonna be in your hand but insde .

Four Success Tips / Phillp Riggs

Phillip Riggs' Four Success Tips:
1. Work Hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don't chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others and good things will come to you.

Reflection: I think that when you follow these four success tips, you become so much better. I think the first one, Work Hard, means that you always have to try your best. I think that when you give your work the best you got, you can achieve more because you are actually working. I think that the second one, following your passion means that you have to be interested in your job. I believe that you shouldnt have a job only for the money, because you’ll end up hating it. I think people need jobs they actually enjoy working in because they can look forward to their job and be happy and not so stressed out. I strongly believe that when the only thing you do is chase money, you will eventually become stressed out because you arent enjoying it as much as if you had a good job you liked and pays well. The last one means that what goes around comes around. Basically like good karma, I think that you can be good to others and eventually good things will come back to you.

Choose the Right ///

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: I think that even when the right thing isnt what everyone else chose, you should  still choose it because thats the best thing to do. I think that its always good to choose the right, again because it will benefit you one way or another. On the other hand, choosing the wrong can give you temporary benefits but soon will lead to bad things and results. Choosing the right has no bad results and will always be good for everyone For example, a group of kids ask a student to go to parties with them to drink and smoke. Everyone else does it so the popular answer would be to go with them. But he says no because he has better things to do plus he needs to choose the right.

Wilford Woodruff

“ Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

- Wilford Woodruff

Reflection: I think that this statement is so true. I agree with Wilford woodruff because you will never benefit yourself when you do something thats not right. I think that when you do something wrong or you choose the wrong, nothing good will ever happen. This shows that when you something good/ right you will be rewarded by good things coming back to you. You get what you give. I think that when you know you are choosing the right, it makes you a better person because you aren’t doing anything that you’re not suppose to. For example, if you lie to your parents, its very bad because you are choosing to do something bad. You willl not gain anything from telling lies because deep inside of you, you will start to feel guilty and ashamed. You will not being able to be in peace because you know you didnt do the right thing. I think that when you have done something right, you can feel it and not worry about anything bad happening to you.

Karl G Maesar

“I have been asked what i mean by ‘word of honor’. I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, every so thick, reaching ever so fat into the ground. There is a possibility that in someway or another i might be able to escape, but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No, never. I’d die first.”

Karl G Maesar

Reflection: I think that when you give your word, you need to keep it, because you agreed upon saying it. When you are about to give your word, you should think about it because you cannot say otherwise after. I think a good example would be if my bestfriend told me that she wouldn’t do a certain thing. If she says she wont do it, she is committing to keep her word. If she does it, she did not keep her word.

how you should be living life but also they are very clear.

I would say that commandments 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10 are

alike in a way because it tells you that you need to 

take care of yourself and other to be in peace. I think

that commandment 5 is basically saying that you should always

Promises?

“ A promise must never be broken “- Alexander Hamilton

Reflection: i agree with this 100% because you need to keep your word and do as you say. You have to act upon what you said. Keeping a promise shows a lot about the person you are because it can show different characteristics you have such as integrity, honesty and trustworthiness. A good example of keeping a promise would be if my friend Alexa said that she’d come to my house on wednesday. It would be considered a promise because she said she would come. If she doesn’t show up, it means that she broke her promise. Breaking a promise is bad because it means that you did not keep your word.

Goodness

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails”

Henry David Thoreau

Reflection:I think that when you are good, it will never fail you. When you try to be good and you do good, it will never give you negative consequences. Doing the right things will lead your life into positivity. For example, when Alexa does good things, she feels free of stress, and does not feel guilt. She invests her time into something good because it will never bring her negativity. If she invests her time into doing bad things, she will receive the exact opposite of good because she’s doing wrong.You need to be good in order to receive good.
