Final: Part 1

1. I liked several things about this class but mainly the fact that we had SSS they really taught me many things and are going to help me make good decisions in life.

2. The one and only thing I didn’t like about this class was how we only researched medical careers. The fact that I didn’t change seats a sat in the same area for the whole school year it was really sad I didn’t get to communicate or meet my other classmates somehow.

3. I would recommend for this class to simply give us the opportunity to do more projects and having to work as groups so we could meet other classmates not the same people from our row.

4. I defiantly did do my best every time I had the opportunity to CTR I didn’t specially because this is the class were I was taught to CTR and commit myself to do it. For example there was a couple of times when people wouldn’t exit out their work and I could’ve easily copied and paste but no I just saved it and did my own work because it’s called cheating and I didn’t want to risk my grade and not learn anything.

5. To be honest I don’t read it daily but I do read it when I have time or in class.

6. I’m getting there every time I do anything I don’t supposed to I remind myself that I do want to be a CTR person so I don’t CTW.

7. I would always remember the SSS they were really inspiring like choosing the right and how to be responsible, honest etc.

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. This one choice, The Ultimate Choice, is your keystone to being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is: To be a CTR Person- to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!!!

Reflection

Knowing that this is the last student success statement is really sad but I learned a lot and all this statements will stay with me forever specially this one. To be able to CTR might be difficult to some people but we should defiantly always try to choose the right and be a CTR person because it would make you a better person and it would make your life easier in many aspects. 

Student Success Statement

“Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have today on par with the dreams you have for tomorrow.

Alan Stein

Reflection

I do agree with this statement from Alan Stein because it reminds me of all the times I tried my best and thought about the fact that if I practice and do it is going to benefit me in the future. For example I had straight As for last semester and now I’m trying my best to have straight As this semester as well and just like many people work hard to achieve their goals. I want to do the same, and work so hard that I won’t have time to give up because I want to be someone important many young people look up to.

Student Success Statement

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

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection

I think that this statement is talking about the fact that if you don’t have a goal you won’t know which way to follow and it would be harder for you to succeed. As if you already know what you want to be and what your goals are you are most likely to succeed and it would be easier. Like the example he used a ship without a rudder wouldn’t know which direction to go. So it’s better for you to set up your goals now so you won’t have to suffer later.

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, 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 agree with this proverb simply because character determines what a person is cable of doing. In order to have peace in the world people have to have good morals and qualities. Just how these Chinese Proverb states.

Student Success Statement

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

Sophocles

Reflection

I strongly agree with this statement because if you win and you decided to cheat it’s not good probably you are going to feel that sensation of winning for a little while but then you won’t be able to live with the guilt of knowing that you cheating. But in the other hand if you didn’t win but you played or did everything right than you would feel proud of yourself because you did everything you could’ve done to win and you would just keep trying and trying.
