Class Evaluation

                    The first semester has finally come to an end and so will the first semester of this class. This class was not all about just computers and typing which is why I think I enjoyed it. This class gave us computer skills as well as skills in your everyday life. Skills that make you a better person, ctr skills. Mr. Haymore gave us knowledge about computers and life all in the few minutes he had with us every other day. I also enjoyed the class as a whole not the class itself but my classmates. In order to have an enjoyable year in a class you have to be able to get along with your classmates because they are the ones who are going to help you whenever you get yourself into a bind. 

                    Personally I can't think of something that I do not enjoy about this class. Yeah sure some people might say Mr. Haymore is a little strict, that he has too many rules. In my opinion I think rules are needed without rules then there would just be complete chaos and no order. We need Mr. Haymore's rules because he is helping us be better students and is hoping that we take the knowledge we get from his class and use it in our everyday lives. 

                    As far as improvements to the class I am not sure how he could. We get all the skills we need from the class and more. If we were to improve it in some way it would just be to maybe change some things he teaches about. Yes it is important all the morals he talks about but also talking about some thing that has to do with our school. Yes, in the beginning we did stuff like that, writing about medical professions, but we stopped doing it after a while. 

                   A highlight that I feel I had was learning Excel on the computer. I know it may not be much but I think its a highlight because I did not know how to use before. To me that was my highlight because I learned how to do a lot and use the features it provides. 

                   I honestly feel like I did not do my best in this class. I think this because it is the first time I have this class. Before I did not know what was required so I did not know how to do the best at everything. Now that I have gone through a semester I know that I can be the best in this class. 

                   With my life planning journal I am looking at it everyday, but I am not writing in it everyday because sometimes I cannot think of any goals. I do try my best although I know that it could be better. I also do not report it everyday I do it every few days and know I should be doing it everyday.

                   I want to be a ctr person. I know that right now I am not but i try to be. I feel if I continue to commit I will be able to become a great ctr person. Mr. Haymore, I know, wants everyone to be ctr and that is the person that is going to help people become ctr. 

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

Honesty is the best decision you can make. When you tell the truth it will stay in your past and everyone will remember you for it. If you tell a lie then it will be in your future and you will be condemned by it. Your life will be consumed by the lies you tell. If you tell the truth then you won't have to remember anything because you know you did not lie. It is always better to tell the truth because some people might not want to know the truth but it is better then lying to their face. That is why honesty is the best policy and lies should never be told. If you start to lie then you will start to lie without even thinking about it because you do it so much. If you tell the truth then you will start telling the truth without even thinking about it because you do it so much. This is why you wan to be a ctr person not a ctw.

"The Sting of the Scorpion"

The sting of the scorpion is a personal story which tells about a young boy who gets stung by a scorpion. He lived in the desert with his parents and was told to always wear shoes when in the sand. One day while on a camping trip he wanted to explore around the desert, he was going to be only a few minutes so why bother putting on shoes. He decided that sandals would work just the same as a pair of shoes. While he was walking in the sand he felt a prick like from a bush on the arch of his foot. When he looked down he realized that it was not a bush but a scorpion. After yelling out for his parents they took him to the hospital. Luckily he was fine but he learned a valuable lesson that day. It was not to never wear sandals but to always listen to your parents and to do the right thing. 

"Always do right"

This quote by Mark Twain is short and to the point. Although it is only three words it is quite powerful. You must always do what is right. This will help you in your life overall. If you do good things good things will happen to you. But you shouldn't do good things because you want something in return. You should do good things because it is the right thing to do. If you always do right then your life will be full of happiness. If you don't always do right then your life will be full of sadness. That is why you want to be ctr all the time. 

World War II

World War II was a global war that lasted six years. The war was fought between 1939 and 1945. There were two main sides, the Allies and the Axis. The Axis was Germany, Italy, and Japan the axis was Britain, France,Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, and the United States of America. World War II started around September 3rd in Europe after the Prime Minister declared war on Germany after a unprovoked attack on Poland.This war was the most widespread war in history, over 61,000,000 died from the allied side and over 12,000,000 died from the axis side. The war did not happen in just one place many places like Russia, Europe, and Africa. Although the conflict began with them a lot of people joined in. After Hitler died and was overrun by soldiers. from America. the United States ended the war when it dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Having agreed on terms and conditions we were able settle the problem and end the war. 

"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 fail."

These questions are the questions you must ask yourself constantly. They are the rules of life. you must always do what is right. You must always give everything your very all. Finally, you must treat people the way you would like to be treated. These are life rules that should never be broken. If you want to be a ctr person then these rules will help you accomplish that. It is important to always do whats right, if you think about it those three rules are like the ctr rules. You are always choosing the right, you always are trying your best, and you treat others the way you want to be treated. Lou Holtz the person who said that was a very wise man and should be followed.  

Challenges Teens Face Today 

In today's society many teens face big issues in their day to day lives. Issues can be from alcohol and drugs to broken homes. Even school as well as sex and their emotions can be stressful for a teen. Now a days kids need to be aware of issues and have a solution in mind. In my daily life I know that for sure school is an issue I face. I struggle to keep my grades up but I have to do it to succeed. I sometimes stay for tutoring in order to help my grade or also ask for extra credit and see if the teacher could give me some. I also face drugs and alcohol people sometimes offer, but i always refuse. I think being in Mr. Haymore's class helped me. Knowing what a ctr person is I now know what  need to be. I do know I am not at the democracy level yet but that is my goal. I have learned to not hang out with the wrong crowd but I also learned that you must help people. So instead of just leaving the wrong crowd I can help them. I can tell them about being ctr and what they can do to be ctr as well. I think that the thing that teens need the most is guidance. We need guidance, we are young and do not know very much as of right now but that changes as we get older. We need to make sure teens get guidance from the right person. An example of a good role model is Mr. Haymore. He teaches us how to be ctr people, how we can be better students and better people.
