“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”

William Penn

Reflection:

This quote means that no matter how many people are against doing the right you should still know it is wrong. It also tells us that no matter how many people choose to do bad you should choose to do right. An example is that everyone can be against finishing their classwork but we all know it is the right thing to do. Another example is that everyone would want to cheat on a test but with everyone cheating it would still be wrong. Also an example would be everyone could be against wearing uniform but no matter how many people don’t wear uniform it would still be wrong. In addition an example is everyone wanting to chew gum during class but it will be wong since it is against the school's rules and wouldn't be right. The message that is trying to get through is that you shouldn't base your actions on what everyone does, you should base them on what you believe is right. You were raised to be able to tell wrong from right. No matter how much people pressure you to do something they can not force you to accomplish wrong actions. If you choose to do right you will be rewarded but if you choose to do wrong there will be consequences.

“Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want know. Write down what you want most and see it often.”

Peter Vidmar

Reflection:

This quote means that you shouldn’t take the easy way and give up what you desire the most. An example of this is you wanting to earn straight A’s on the next report card. Then at the moment you want to go to a friends house instead of studying for a test. By choosing to wait for the long term goal is better than wanting to accomplish a short term goal and mess up your dreams. Even though achieving what you really want might take a lot of time and work it is worth it in the end because you will have accomplished something that will really help you out in life. Another example is you really wanting to lose a certain amount of weight but then wanting to eat junk food with your friends. The right choice would be picking a healthy instead. By making this choice you are helping by building up to your goal. Even though the temptation might be strong you should not give in because you will regret that decision later. After all the best things in life don’t happen easily without doing any work.

Homecoming 2016

1. Homecoming is a way of welcoming students back to their school.
2. In the United States homecoming is a tradition in all schools. Homecoming is usually celebrated during football games. It has been a tradition since the 19th century. Homecoming usually has a court of a King and a Prince and Queen and a Princesses.
3. Celebrating the school's existence is why homecoming is celebrated.
4. The reason why the game is called homecoming game because it is a way to welcome high school graduates back to their school.
5. Girls should wear a dress while boys should wear dress clothes since homecoming dance is semi-formal. One slowdance should be done with you homecoming date out of courtesy.

I personally think that homecoming is a great tradition. My opinion on this is because former graduates have a chance to go back to their high school and see how different things are. It also provides students an opportunity to show their school spirit and pride. Homecoming is also a great opportunity to become familiar with your school's traditions. In addition, homecoming also provides you with the opportunity to become familiar with fellow students that you haven't know before.

Student Success Statement

“A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life”

Coach K

Mike Krzyzewski

Reflection:

This quote reminds us that winning is not everything in life. It is better to be know as a good person then to be know as just someone who wins most of the time. For example being know as someone who gets good grades is better than being know as someone who wins. Even though it does feel nice to win being able to say you are a good person is better. Another example is having a name as someone who listens to all the rules and respects everyone they meet s the most important thing that you can do. On the other hand being know as someone who cheats and is rude to everyone is bad for yourself. We are humans after all ,which means we make mistakes, so when we do something wrong it is not bad but what is bad is doing nothing to fix it. All of our goals should include creating a good name for yourself and working for it. Every time we CTR we are working towards achieving our goal of having a good name. This proves that CTR is the most important thing in life.

       "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."
                                                         
                                             Proverbs 22:1
Reflection:
This quote to me means that it is better for people to know you as a good person rather than having the most expencive things in the world. An example of this is that you can have a private jet but is it worth people knowing you have done bad things to get the money to buy it. On the other hand you can be nice to people and not have enough money to buy certain things but people will help you since you were nice to them. So if you think about it things are better when you achieved them yourself and not done anything wrong to get them. This proverb can relate to so many people because you can have a lot of money but do nothing to help people in need. Then other people can see it as hope because you are a nice person and can achieve things with out money, they will be achieved by the people you help. It is good to have a good name so people trust you.

"If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone have the moral courage to be a light for others to                                                                  follow." 
                            
Reflection:
This quote means that if you friends are telling you to do things that are wrong do not agree with them. Instead you should Choose The Right and be a person they can look up to. An examle of this is that if your friends are somink and drinking and offer you some just reject it and remind them the reprecussions that can happen. Another example is that if your friends tell you to help them steal something go against them and tell them that it is wrong. If you Choose The Right and go against them not only are you being a good example for them but you are starting a pattern that will remind you to Choose The Right no matter what decisions you have to make. As my mom says "A true friend will never want any harm to come to you". If you friends tell you to CTW tell them no and if you can decide to leave them and find better friends that do not want you to get in trouble. No matter how many people decide to CTW do not agree with them because if you do you will ave trouble that you could have avoided. By choosing the right you will be know as responsible and will gain trust to do as you want. Choosing the right will always lead you to opportunities and you will never recieve any trouble.

Salary:

$56,980

Education:

In order to become a police officer you need to first graduate high school with a diploma, although some forces require to be a college graduate. Then you need to  go to a police academy and graduate. Even though the education is short you need to qualify in certain requirements such as:

• Be a United States citizen
• Be at least 21 years old
• Have a high school diploma or equivalent
• Possess a driver’s license
• Have no prior convictions

Demand for this profession:

The demand for police officers is very high because no matter how sad it is we live in an area where there are a lot of accidents. All United States residents need protection no matter how strong they think they are. When accidents happen or when we need help there is always a police officer that will help us.

Summary:

Becoming a police officer is something I would not want to purse because I would not like to put my life at risk. Even though I do not wish to become a police officer I have a lot of respect for them because every  night we can go to sleep knowing we are safe with them patrolling our neighborhoods. Another reason I would not want to become one is if someone needs my help and I could not get their in time to save them then I would feel guilty for every single death.

Student Success Statement

“A CTR champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself.”

Noemi Trigueros

Reflection:

Toward me this quote means that  you are a true champion when you CTR and win doing things the fair way. For example, the NBA basketball winners are considered champions but right after they win they celebrate by getting drunk and Choosing The Wrong. On the other hand a CTR person will chose the right while celebrating and know better to not do anything bad. When you are a CTR champion you do not celebrate winning but you do celebrate yourself choosing the right. When you win a championship unfairly you will feel guilty and do not deserve to win while others played by the rules. If you are participating and do not win but played fairly then you are a winner anyway because you CTR. No matter how much you want to win you should not resort to cheating because even though you may win you know deep down that you did not deserve it.

Environmental Health Specialist

Duties and Responsibilities:

The main responsibility of an Environmental Health Specialist is to make sure that an company is safe and clean. They check if any area is hazardous or contains any health risks. When they go check out an area they take samples of the area and test them. When the results come back that helps them decide if an area can be deemed safe.   

Salary:

$82,000

Education:

The first step into becoming an environmental health specialist is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in the environmental health field. After that you need to have a 1-3 year experience in the environmental health field. Then you need to get a certified degree in the environmental health field of 4 years. After that you can go and get a Master’s degree in the Environmental Health field.

Demand for this profession:

The need for this profession is fairly high because the more companies of factories we have in our living area the more we need people to make sure they are safe for us. If there was no Environmental Health Specialists then we would be in danger and have a higher chance in developing health issues. It depends on the area you live in because is you live in an area where there is not a lot of factories then the demand will be lower.

               

Summary:

The Environmental Health Specialist is a career that I would not want to pursue. My main reason for not wanting to pursue this career is because if I have to go to an area that is hazardous before anyone has checked it out then I am at risk of getting health issues. My last reason I do not want to become one is because the area I live in contains a lot of factories and companies which means the more I am a risk just by doing my job.

                 "Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get."
                                             
                                    
                                                 Mark Victor Hansen
Reflection:
This quote means that if you set a goal you should go for it and not let no one stop you from getting it. It is telling us to reach what we have set for ourselves. An example of this is that if I say my goal is graduate high school then I need to work for it and achieve it. Another example is if I say I will finish all my homework for my classes then I need to accomplish it because I set myself to do it. This quote can also mean that what you set for yourself is what you will achieve. In other words if you set it do it. A goal is a dream and a dream is something you will accomplish no matter how hard it gets or what you need to do to accomplish it. After all you can not receive something great without working hard for it. So if you need to work hard for your goal then do it because it will be worth it in the end. A goal is important because it is a wish you want to accomlish and without out a goal you will have no direction to accomplish it.

Columbus Day

• Columbus day celebrates the day Christopher discovered the american continent.
• The day Christopher Columbus discovered America was October 12. 1492.
• The first time Columbus day was celebrated as a holiday was 1906 in Colorado.
• On the other hand the United  States first  celebrated Columbus day as a federal holiday in 1937.
• All United States was ordered to celebrate Columbus day by Benjamin Harrison on the 400th anniversary.
• It was proven that Columbus wasn’t the first European to land in America, many people landed their before.
• Many people have different ideas about who really discovered America.
• Columbus was sent on the journey by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand.
• The land Christopher Columbus landed on was the Bahamas.
• Christopher Columbus was born in Italy 1451.

                                       

Reflection:

After researching Columbus Day I learned some very important and interesting information. For example all of America didn’t celebrate Columbus day until the 400th anniversary of Columbus landing in America. I think this is unfair to him because he was sent out on a journey that could’ve ended his life and discovered what we know call our home, America. In addition I learned that Christopher Columbus traveled many more expeditions before he finally traveled to America. I also learned that Columbus day is celebrated on the 2nd Monday in October. Lastly, I learned that Christopher columbus was originally born in 1451 in Italy.

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer and irritation;       instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block."
                                     
                                                
                                                   James E. Faust
Reflection:
This quote means that if we apply obedience in one of our goals then we are sure to know that it will not affect us in a bad way, but instead in a good way. Also it tells us that if we are obedient then it will lead us to greater things because we decided to CTR. An example of this is that if you listen to your teachers and follow the school rules then you will be know as a good person and recieve responsibilities and trust. Another example is that if you are competing in a competition and play by the rules you will have a greater chance in winning and feel great if you loose or win. If you are obedient to anything you are instructed to do then it builds blocks, but if you do the opposite then you are creating stumbling blocks for your self and will have a bad future ahead. When you choose to be obedient you create building blocks which help you receive a great future. On the other hand when you decide not to be obedient you create blocks that drop you down and not lead you higher. When you create stumbling blocks the only person you can blame is yourself because you choose the decisions you made. After all no one can force you to do something you do not want to do. All of this can always be avoided by CTR no matter what choice you have to make.
