Final: Part 1 of 2 Class/Self Evaluation

A. What you liked about the class and things you didn't like about it.

What I liked about this class is that we really have learned much about medical careers. That's a good thing for me since I want to become a heart surgeon when I'm older. I also like that we get to have an opportunity to go on typing tutor to memorize our keys. Lastly, I liked it when there was always CTR card checks. It reveals that you are really choosing the right by carrying your card with you to remind you to always choose the right an in return as an award for having it, you get candy or chocolate. I also liked that I got to make new friends here in this class. What I disliked about this class is that it gets boring sometimes. All we do is go on typing tutor and write reflections about a student success statement. Also I don't like how we can't communicate with our friends when we are done with our tasks.


B. List suggestions for improving the class.

Some suggestions that I suggest for improving the class is to at least let us play typing games. When I go on typing tutor and reach to level 16, it says that typing games are a fun and faster way to memorize your keys. Also to let us use our phones when we are done with our task. And lastly, when we have free time, to and sit with our friends so we won't be bored during our free time.


3. Answer: Did you really do your best in this class: computer work, CTR?

Yes I did do my best in this class. Especially with choosing the right. I realized that if you be a CTR person, more people will like you and that's what I've been doing. This class has inspired me to be obedient, honest, and to always choose the right. I always study for my tests and make sure I get my tasks done. Mr.Haymore has also made me realized that always choosing the right will give you good consequences in life. I think it's essential for everyone to choose the right.


4. Answer: Are you committed to being a CTR person? Why or why not?

Yes I am committed to being a CTR person because I want to be successful in life. Choosing the right is a priority for me. I want to get good grades, graduate, and go to college to make my mom proud. In my opinion, I think everyone should be committed to being a CTR person.

IDP Showcase

IDP Showcase 

My first IDP showcase wasn't all bad. I went to the summer bridge program during the summer and we did one also. I wasn't really that nervous but I was really nervous for my first IDP showcase. I don't know why. Maybe because my mom went and that's what made me more nervous. I did good the first time and i don't know what happened this time. I enjoy presenting sometimes but we were presenting in front of our teachers and professionals. My topic for the IDP showcase was stroke. What I learned about stroke was that there is no cure for it but treatment may help. Early treatment with medications may help minimize the brain damage. Emergency treatment depends whether you are having an ischemic or a hemorrhagic stroke. My part of the IDP showcase was to talk about the treatments/cures. I didn't really dress professional attire because it was too cold that day and my mom wanted me to wear a dress since everyone else was wearing one. Next year for sure I am since I felt like I was the only one who wasn't dressed properly. I didn't get deducted points though which is the good thing. I think i did well. I was just really nervous. Next time I will make sure to practice presenting and be prepared. I was stuttering during the presentation and I need to stop that. I know I will improve on my presenting skills. That's what I like about this school. Some of my teachers didn't get a chance to practice presenting and getting them ready for college. I know H.P.I.A.M will get me prepared and settled off to go. 

"Always do right."

"Always do right."

By: Mark Twain

What this quote means is that we should always do what's right no matter what situation you are. You need to always do the right thing no matter what others think. When you know you're going to make a good decision, then do it. If you feel that you want to do something that you believe in, then do it. You should never rely your decisions on what people think of you. Fight for what you believe in and think what's right. If you have to study for a test and your friends invite you to party, you should always do right and stay home that day to study for that test. If you go out to party and not stay home to study then you are not doing what's right. The day of your test, you will regret not studying because you're going to struggle not knowing anything and just looking at the paper. Always doing right will give you good consequences in life. People will like you more, you'll have a good education, and you will be successful. That's why it is important to always do what's right. 

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company,"

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company,"

Unknown

I think this quote is a very tremendous statement. I really do agree with this quote because I am always on my own. I am there for myself. I make my own decisions. I rather be on my own than to be with bad influences. It's not worth it to hang around with those kind of people. I want to stay away from those people because I don't want to get myself into any trouble and want to be successful in life. You shouldn't depend on anyone else. Depending on yourself is the greatest thing because later on in life, your friends or family aren't always going to be there for you. I'm not saying to not socialize with people and make any friends, you should just surround yourself with people who choose the right and don't tell you what to do. Sometimes your friends can be helpful but they won't always be there. Friends come and go. Especially if you have friends who are bad influences. For example, if your friends want to invite you over to a party and get drunk, and you have to study for a test that you're going to take the next day, you stay and study for that test. Because if you fail that test and keep going to parties, you won't be able to go to college and be successful in life. Your friends are not going to help you pay for a roof to live in, provide clothes, and food. That's why you should always depend on yourself and be careful about what decisions you're going to make.

"If we do what's right, we have no need to fear."

"If we do what's right, we have no need to fear."

By: Evan Stephens

What this quote defines is that you should have no fear in doing what's right. If you want to do something but nobody agrees with you, just do it. you shouldn't be afraid of doing what's right and what you believe in. You should never fear if your option is to always choose the right. For example, if you struggle on what to do just know that you should choose what's right. Another example is if you see a homeless person and he comes up to you and ask you for change and you give him what he ask for then you'll for sure feel so proud of yourself because you did what's right and therefore you won't feel guilty nor fear for yourself. An example of doing wrong is you witnessing something and do nothing about it knowing you could have done something about it. Therefore you will feel guilty for quite some time and you will have the worst consequence of fearing. Personally, what I really think this quote is telling you is that as long as you do what's right there is no absolute reason you should feel guilty or fear for yourself.

The 3 questions by Lou Holtz 1) Can people trust me to do what's right? 2) Am I commited to doing my very best? 3) Do I treat people the way I want to be treated ? "If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail".

The 3 questions: 

1.Can people trust me to do what's right?

2.Am I committed to doing my very best?

           3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

"If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fall."

By: Lou Holtz

I Believe that people can trust me to do what's right, why because if something happens to someone and it can be fixed then I'll help that person out and do the right thing. Yes, I am always commited to do my very best. I've always been commited to do my very best ever since I've been a little girl I would try my best in things even when I'd struggle and wanted to give up. Yes, sometimes I treat people the way I want to be treated because I don't want them to treat me in a disrespectful way. It also depends on how that person talks or treats me if that person is rude to me then I wouldn't mind being rude back. Personally, I think this quote is specifically saying that your success in life is practically based on your attitude tor personality to people and life. If people can trust you in doing what's right then you'll probably receive many great opportunities. If you are commited to always do your best then I'm pretty sure your optimism will take you somewhere great in life. And if you treat people the want to be treated I guarantee you will have a lot of friends who will always be there to support you through your ups and downs. 

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

By: President John F. Kennedy

What I think this quote means is very true because if you read it carefully it makes a whole lot of sense. I think it's trying to say that being physically active won't just help you have a healthy body but it will also help you have a good mental health. It will help you have a successful life and do what's right. Maintaining a healthy body is not just about being active. For example, it's not right to drink alcohol or any drug. That is choosing the wrong and you will get addicted. Just like Mr. Haymore said also, drinking coffee is also a drug. It might taste good but it is bad for your health. Drugs are illegal. You wouldn't want to catch yourself into some trouble. Once you try a drug, you might like it and get obsessed and keep doing it. You're just killing yourself. If you are not physical active, then your mind won't work. 

Hawaii

Hawaii

Hawaii is a very beautiful place I believe by the pictures I see on the internet. I would love to visit Hawaii one day because first of all it is a gorgeous place and it calls my attention to visit. For my 15th birthday  I want to spend a week over there. I am still unsure if I should go or have a quincenera. Well anyways, I would also like to visit Hawaii because I would like to try different foods, learn about their tradition, and experience how they live their lives over there. It also seems fun because you can go visit any volcanoes, swim with the animals, take tours, surf, and watch Lua's. It also calls my attention because of the color of the ocean. The ocean is also clean. Hawaii consists of 6 mainly visited Islands. Each Island has its own distinct character and vibe, cultural history and rare opportunities to experience. Hawaii is the best destination on earth for an adventurous family vacation. That's my goal to go to Hawaii with my family. I would really like to go on a helicopter tour! I've never been on one and since Hawaii has many beautiful things to see, it would be fun. I've also heard that the stage shows are fascinating to watch. Especially when they do Lua's with fire. I've always dreamed of getting in the water with a nice color and all those types of details ever since I was a little girl and I still do. I consider going to Hawaii with my family and friends. Hopefully someday I go to Hawaii.
