Class Evaluation

1. Some things that I liked about this class are learning about the different types of medical career pathways and what they do, learning about Excel and how to make graphs and tables, learning to type with a keyboard and the number pad without looking down.
2. What I didn't like about the class is the amount of time that we spent on excel (to little), the class felt a bit repetitive doing the same things over and over.
3. Spending more time on excel and writing more in our journal that explains how to do certain things such as creating a table, copying and pasting stuff, etc.
4. Learning about excel and how to use it.
5. I could have done a bit better in this class but overall I think I did do good in this class. 
6. Not every single day, I miss a few days but most days I read my life planning goals journal for at least 5 minutes daily.
7. I am committed to being a CTR person because it leads to a happier life and it leads to you reaching your goals. 
8. I learned about many different people that choose the right, I learned how choosing the right can impact your life, learning to type, using excel, and learning about different medical careers.  These are some of the things that I can pass forward to others that can help them greatly and make their lives much easier. 
9. I will always remember the examples given of people who choose the right and choose the wrong. This will remind me how big of an impact choosing the wrong can make.

“You will go far with CTR.”

-Mr. Haymore

This is a short quote but has a big meaning behind it. What this quote means is that if you choose the right you will progress further in your life and you will reach your goals. One example of going far with CTR is Steph Curry and JamesOn Curry. Both of them have the same last name but are 2 very different people. Steph Curry started off as an average basketball player. He chose the right and that helped him reach his goal of becoming a better player. He is now a World Champ and has been the MVP for 2 consecutive seasons. JamesOn Curry on the other hand started off as a really great basketball player and he had a great future ahead of him. He had the potential to be a top player in the NBA. That all changed the moment he chose the wrong. He was caught selling drugs which is something that you should never do, because of this he lost a scholarship. This example shows how much choosing the right can greatly impact your life. Choosing the right will allow you to reach your goals and have a better life. While choosing the wrong will make you lose your freedom and go to jail depending on what you did. If you choose the wrong then you will pay for your consequences just like JamesOn Curry did. Overall, I agree with this quote, choosing the right is something that can help progress your life into something better and can help you be a happier and more successful person.

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 good more than any other choice.

THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is:

To be a CTR Person--to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7 !!!

This quote means that choosing the right is something that is very important and can have a huge impact on your life. Choosing to do the right thing is the key to being a good person. If you are someone who doesn’t choose the right than you are a CTW person. A CTW person is someone that is choosing the wrong, choosing to do the wrong thing is done by people that are very lazy or people that don’t care about others. Doing the right thing leads to a happier life while doing the wrong thing leads to a life of dishonesty. Your destiny is determined by the choices you make. Choosing the right leads to an overall better life. People who choose to do the right thing are people that like to help others and are people that are not doing the right thing for a reward. An example of choosing the right is not cheating on a test. Cheating on a test is dishonest and is something that people who choose the wrong do. You might feel god when you choose the wrong but later on you’ll realize that what you have done is not right and it’ll make you feel guilty. Overall, I agree with this quote. Choosing to do the right thing is the best choice you could make.

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

-Chinese Proverb

This is a long quote that also has a big meaning behind it. What this quote means is that if people have good character there will be peace in the world but if people don’t have a good character there will not be peace in the world. An example of someone who doesn’t have a good character is the dictator of North Korea. An example of someone who has a good character would be someone who volunteers at hospitals. That person would have a good character because they are using the time they have to help others that need help. The dictator doesn’t have a good character, he is making the world have no peace. He has a bad character because he treats the people in North Korea very badly for not agreeing with him. People who have good character are those that will bring peace to the world. People that have bad character are those that will not bring peace. People that have good character are those that choose the right. They help others around them that are in need and are honest and trustworthy. People with bad character on the other hand, are people that choose the wrong. They are dishonest, untrustworthy, and lazy. If all the people had a good character there would be peace in the world. The world needs more people that are honest and hardworking. If the world had no people with good character, than there would be a lot of crimes and people that spread lies. There would be no peace.

Follow the spread of Zika in N.J. with our interactive case tracker

On tuesday a baby was born in New Jersey with a birth defect that is caused by the Zika virus. The mother of the baby got the disease while visiting the U.S. The zika virus can be transmitted through mosquitos or be transmitted sexually if the person has the virus in their body, it is also linked to another disease known as microcephaly that causes people to have abnormally small heads and lifelong disabilities. Right now there are 16 confirmed cases of people with Zika. All of the cases of Zika are travel-related.  The New Jersey Advance Media is currently tracking the Zika virus in New Jersey. It is expected that mosquitos that carry zika in New Jersey will arrive around July. Right now there are currently no cures for Zika. If the Zika virus spreads it can affect newborn babies throughout the U.S.

Malik Stewart and Roman Chapa

Both of these people were involved in sports events but there is a huge difference between the two of them. Malik Stewart is someone who lost with honor. Roman Chapa is someone who cheated in order to win. Roman Chapa is someone who chooses the wrong. Roman Chapa was involved in horse races. In one of the races that he was in he electrocuted his horse in order to make it run faster so that he could win. He electrocuted his horse while he was in first place and he ended up winning the race. He won by cheating which is something that is very dishonest. Malik Stewart on the other hand is someone who lost with honor. He was in a wrestling match for the state championship against Michell. He ended up losing but did so in a honorable way. Most people get off the stage when they lose but Malik Stewart went to Mitchell and congratulated him and he also went to Mitchell’s dad. He did something that not many people would do after losing. He lost with honor and didn’t cheat.  Malik is someone who chooses the right while Roman is someone who chooses the wrong.

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

-Sophocles

This is a short quote but it has a huge meaning. What this quote means is that it’s better to lose with honor than to lose by cheating. An example would be taking drugs to enhance your performance. You will win by cheating but the win will be without honor. Losing with honor is a lot more important than winning by cheating, because it shows that you are someone who chooses the right. Cheating is something that makes you lose honor. If you don’t win with honor you won’t feel happy about your win because you were dishonest. Being dishonest is choosing the wrong. Winning by cheating also shows what type of person you are. A person who doesn’t work hard to complete his/her goals and takes the lazy path to their goals by cheating. Overall, I agree with this quote. Losing with honor is better than winning by cheating.

Memorial Day Weekend

During the memorial day weekend I didn’t really do much I just stayed home. One thing that I did during the weekend was watch OKC vs Golden State Warriors game 7. The warriors won that game, I hoped that the warriors would lose but they ended up winning. I also saw game 6 between the Raptors and Cavaliers, the Cavaliers won and I hope they beat the warriors in the finals. I also saw the Stanley cup final between the Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks. I think that the penguins will win the Stanley cup. Another thing that I did during the weekend was homework. I did a PowerPoint for my AP History class about the country Chile. I also heard on the news about a gorilla being killed because of a child that got trapped with the gorilla in a zoo. The gorilla had to be killed in order to get the kid back.
