7. Look after the well-being of mind and being.

8. Dedicate a share of efforts to the greater good.

9. Be truthful and honest at all times.

10. Take full responsibilities for your actions.

Reflection:
In my opinion being a CTR person is basically following all 10 commandments. Even before the CTR oath people had their way of life build open it. If we lived in a world where everyone followed the 10 Indian Commandments then there would be world peace all around the world. The commandments tell us to help in every way and anyway we can. They also tell us that we should be fully responsible of what we do and accept all the consequences. The Indians had and have an excellent way of life. Some people wonder how they are still around even after all the tribulations they have gone through. Today I have found the answer to that question. The Indians have stuck around for so long thanks to the 10 Commandments. They learned to live as a family and to help anyone in need. There was no war betweens Indians because they all settled their differences. When you live a peaceful life it will be a happy life. One example of following the 5th Indian commandment is helping by donating to charity or as small as helping someone carry their groceries. An example of following the 9th commandment is being honest when you breaks something that belongs to someone else instead of hiding the evidence. When you live by the 10 Commandments you will live a happy log life.

Student Success Statement

“A promise must never be broken.”

Alexander Hamilton

Reflection:
What Mr.Hamilton means by this statement is that many things in this life can be broken but a promise is something that should never be broken. At any extent you come to you should never break a promise. When you make a promise you are giving your word, people will count on you. A word is the most powerful thing you can give. An example of this if you tell your friend you are going to be at a certain place to volunteer but don’t show up then you will have broken a promise. However an example of not breaking a promise is if you promise your mom you will stay home and study but then get invited out by your friends but decide to study instead. When you break a promise to someone the pain you give them hurts the most. Breaking a promise will make you feel guilty for the rest of your life. By breaking a promise people start to lose respect for you and will no longer trust you. If you break a promise why should people keep the promises they make towards you?

Student Success Statement

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

Reflection:
This statement means that if you choose to do good it will never go wrong for you. You can fail in any other investment but if you make a good investment it will never fail you. Making a good investment is something that will always succeed and never fail. An an example of this is if you decide to donate money to children hospitals. This is a good investment because by donating money you are saving many lives of innocents. Another example of this is if you spend your spare time doing chores for your parents. This is also a good investment because you are doing chores when your parents have sacrificed their lives for you so doing chores is the least you can do to repay them. A good investment is helping people without expecting things in return. When you make a good investment you will feel great and be glad you made that choice. By making good investments you will live your life in peace and be happy.

Student Success Statement

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular, you make them because they are right.”

Theodore Hesburgh

(Former President of Notre Dame)

Reflection:

What Mr.Hasburgh means by this statement is that the only thing that should influence your decision is if it is the right thing to do. When you make your decision based on CTR then it will always be the right choice and you will be happy. As we once learned the decisions we make will determine who we are. So if we make a good decision that will influence us to continue making the right choices which will shape us into good people. An example of this quote is if your mom tells you to clean your room and you will get rewarded. You should not do it for the reward but because it is the right thing to do. Another example is if you find a missing dog and decide to call the owner. The decision should not be made because of the money but because it's the right thing to do. In any decision you make it should not be made out of greed but because it's the right thing to do. I f you make your decisions off greed then you will feel rotten and regret it later. One thing you should remember when making a decision is when you do or say something you can never take it back so choose wisely.

Student Success Statement

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound (not good).”

Joseph Smith

Reflection:

This quote by Mr. Smith tells us that we should all do our part and focus on making things that good popular all around the world. Why should we pay so much attention on irrelevant actions and objects? The sad truth is that we do not give doing what is right much attention. The less and less we do what is right we become oblivious to others feelings and see CTW as a way of life. However we are still at time to fix our human race and have humanity once again. There are many solutions to this CTW problems. One act we can accomplish is volunteering during your spare times to CTR foundations. Also we can easily just clean up after ourselves. Additionally we should think before we speak or act to make sure no one’s feelings are being hurt along the process. By making good actions popular it will spread like wildfire and people will want to commit themselves to become a CTR person.

School Break Days

During Spring Break I spent my free time wandering with my friends. We also went hiking where there was many places filled with nature. Besides that my friends and I went to places such as the park, mall, and etcetera. My friend and I also spent time watching netflix and entertaining ourselves with movies and shows we came to love. While I stayed home my mom also taught me how to cook a variety of different dishes. During Spring Break I was just enjoying being able to relax and be free. Spring Break provides us with the opportunity to catch up on our sleep and not worry about finishing work. On Friday my friends and I went out to celebrate easter since we wouldn’t be seeing each other. Even though my break was relaxing I felt at peace because I committed a CTR action. As my mom and I were coming home from the market I found a phone that did not have a passcode. Others in this position would restart it claim it as their new property. However I waited to for the owner to call me and I returned it. The owner felt relieved to have his phone back which also made me feel well because I know I really did make someone's day. Since I really did not have internet connection I spent time focusing and writing in my goals journal. By doing this I was overjoyed to have accomplished some of my goals and have the opportunity to write new goals that I hope to achieve.

Student Success Statement

“Character is higher than intellect.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:

What Mr.Emerson is trying to tell us is that we can be the smartest person in the world but without a great character you will get nowhere. By having a good character you have good habits and will want to do the right things. Then by doing the right things you give yourself reasons to work hard and accomplish anything you want. Just by having a good character you can become intelligent by working hard. Nothing in this world is given, you have to work hard for what you want. An example of this can be if your valedictorian but you have a horrible attitude than people will not want to look up to you or be around you. Another example is being classified as honors but not going to class or behaving well in school. Lastly an example would be doing great in school but when you get on the streets you become a different person and behave bad. In reality intelligence does not matter the single bit, but character matters the most. If you have a bad character then people will assume you are a bad person and will not give you any opportunities to prove yourself. Character is what will guide your future in this world.
