The Goal of Education

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education."

By: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

What this quote means is that great intelligence and great character will produce a great amount of achievement. I believe that intelligence is really not enough because everybody has it. Anyone can memorize a song, a mathematical equation, the periodic table, the 50 states and etc. Great character is essential to have if you want to achieve. Having a great character is the goal of education. An example would be the bicycle. How you need intelligence and character in order for you to ride your bike. Just like us. we need it to advance in society. If you have less character and and more intelligence, it won't work out. Also if you have more character and less intelligence, it won't work out as well. That's why you need both to balance everything out. I really do like and agree with this quote because you need both wheels to  move. It is impossible to move with a flat tire.

"We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn't do."

"We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn't do."

By: Richard L. Evan 

What this quote defines is that people need enough courage to start and continue to do what's right. It's important to lead yourself to the correct path. The key to success is the choose the right and that's why you need to always do things that right. To those who are leading their self to the wrong path to failure, needs to get encouraged top stop doing what they are doing and help them to do what they are supposed to do. You always need start and continue to do what's right and never stop. Doing the right thing should be a priority. It's essential to choose the right. Doing the right thing will make yourself right. You should do it all the time no matter what situation you're in. For example, if you're with your friends and they invite you go smoke and get high, you should refuse to go because doing drugs is not right. You can get addicted easily even your first time trying it. And you should avoid those type people who do drugs because they will try to force you to take drugs and will affect your life. Another example for doing the right is to always study and prepare yourself for college to be successful in the future.

"When you tell one lie, it leads to another."

"When you tell one lie, it leads to another."

By: Paul Hatch

What this quote means is that whenever you tell a lie to another, that person will go on and tell another and it will go on. It's like spreading rumors. It isn't right to tell lies about others. You wouldn't like it if somebody was spreading lies about you so why would you do it to somebody else? Telling lies is most likely choosing the wrong. You always need to be truthful to others. When you tell a lie to a person, that person will definitely tell another and will get spread and people will start to make things up and that is not a good thing because you never know if can affect the person you are talking about. Rumors can really harm people. Sometimes words can hurt more than actions. When somebody tells you a secret, that means they trust you and that doesn't mean that you have to somebody else. You need to keep it to yourself. Even if you dislike someone, it's still not right to tell a lie.

School Break Days

School Break Days

My Christmas semester break was ok. On Christmas Eve, I went shopping for a nice outfit to wear and got my nails done. I didn't really get much for Christmas. I got a Dreamville sweater, a new phone, money, and makeup. It was nice spending time with my family on Christmas. I really do enjoy spending time with my family. After the week of Christmas, it was New Years Eve and I went over to my besftriend's house for a while and met her family. It was kind of awkward since I'm a shy type and not social. After that, I headed off to my aunt's house to gather around with my family to celebrate new years. I am thankful to live a new year and thankful to start 2016 with my friends and family. All I really did was go to the mall and the movies during my Christmas semester break. I watched The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 2 and Daddy's Home. I really enjoyed watching those movies. Well that's pretty much it what I did for my Christmas semester break, it really isn't fascinating. 

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.
