“You will go far with CTR.”

-Mr. Haymore

This quote is simply nothing but the truth. We have learned that every successful person only made it that far by being a CTR person.  

Class Evaluation

Some of the things that I liked about Mr. Haymores class was the teacher's attitude. Mr. Haymore was always positive and never said or taught us anything bad. Haymore was always positive and taught us new exciting things about typing and some things about programing. I liked how the classroom was set up in equal rows of desks. One other thing that I really enjoyed about this class was that almost everyday that we came into this class we were taught about a new career and learned about them so we can be exposed to many types of careers in the medical field.

Some of the things that I did not like were the students in the class. Many of the students in this class were disrespectful and would interrupt the teacher. Some would also plagiarised and copy and paste their work. Some other thing that i did not like about this class was that Mr. Haymore focused more on choosing the right than actually teaching us how to type and program. The final thing that I didn’t like about the class was that I have suspicions that Mr. Haymore voted for Donald Trump. You can’t choose the right by voting for someone who chooses the wrong.

Some things that I would recommend for the class is to focus more on typing that on quotes. One quote a week is enough. We should also be given more group projects other than working on our own for the whole school year. We should also be given a little more writing assignments other than just our goals journal.

Some of my highlights in this class were that I got to start on my first goals journal. Another highlight was that I’ve improved my typing skills due to this class. I also got to learn about CTR and how it can really change someone's life. Another highlight about my year in this class was that I got to plass an easy class.

In this class I did about 88% of my very best. This is because sometimes I would forget that everyday I would need to read and write in my goals journal. But then again, in class I tried the best I could to write as much as I could about any tropic that Mr. Haymore gave us to talk about. When we would go on our typing tutor is when I really tried my best. This was because I wanted to learn how to type really fast and accurate.

I am not reading my life planning goals journal everyday. At the most I would read my life planning goals journal about 4 times a week for 5 minutes. This might have probably been because i would get bored of that daily routine. I sometimes wouldn’t have anything to write in it so I wouldn’t even bother reading it. Another reason was also because sometimes i would just forget about it or didn’t have time to do it.

I am committed to being a CTr person because over this year I have learned that the only way to become successful in life is by being a CTR character.  When you start to be a CTR character you learn that life gets easier. When you choose the right you seem to get accepted by everyone. When you Choose to be a CTR character you feel good for doing good.

To Be A CTR Person

“THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is to be a CTR Person-to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7!!!”

-Señor Haymore

Señor Haymore has been the best teacher at this school out of all of the staff. He is the first person at this school who has talked about doing the right thing all the time. Over the year he has showed us all sorts of quotes that do with choosing the right. He has been a big influence in my life. Choosing the right doesn’t mean to do a good deed and say that you're, choosing the right means turning your life around and be devoted to always doing good and never doing wrong. Choosing the right means not doing any drugs or drinking alcohol. It means to never swear or cheat. Being a CTR character means choosing the right 100% of the time.  

Brooke

We just finished watching a video about a girl named Brooke. She is 6 feet tall and she is a CTR person. She lives in Mexico and even though she comes from somewhere else where the culture and religion is different, she still manages to fit in and be a CTR role model. All of her friends say shes a CTR person ans she is always trying to make her friends CTR people also. She stands up for herself even if shes the only one who dressage with something or someone. She never drinks or falls a victim to peer pressure.

Do the right thing at the right time

“It’s A GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.”

-Pam Knox

This quote by Pam Knox is a truthful statement. It is always the right time to do the right thing. An example of this is when you see someone drop their wallet. You must choose the right and be the one to return to them their wallet. You should follow Pam's advice and choose the right. It doesn’t matter what you lose when you do the right thing because, you will become a better character, which is more important than anything.

Goodness

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

This quote means that you can invest all of your goodness and it will not fail on you. There are lots of ways you can invest in something. You can invest with time and money, but when you invest with these 2, you will not get them back. It is also never guaranteed that the investment will work out in your favor. But when you invest with goodness, you are not loosing anything. In fact, you are more likely to succeed if you invest with your goodness.

They're Right

“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’re right.”

-Theodore hesburgh

This quote said by the former president of Notre Dame in truthful in the sense on how we should make our decisions. Nowadays everyone is just doing what their friends are doing, regardless if it's right or wrong. This is never the right way to make a choice. We should always make our decisions based on what is right. An example of this can be when your friends are doing something bad and invite you to join in. You should make the right choice and not follow in their path. Another thing the quote is stating is that we should not make choices based on what everyone else is choosing. We should make the right choice 100% of the time because at the end of the day, that bad decision you make will come back to get you.

Be True

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

-Abraham Lincoln

         This quote said by the former president of the United States in pretty truthful. I believe that this quote might have been one of the reasons why he won the presidential election. He is saying that even though he might not be destined to win, he is destined to tell the truth and be truthful with everybody. In this quote he saying that bhe will be with anybody who is doing right. Yet, he also says that once that person does wrong he will leave. I believe we should all be like this. If we stand with people that do right, then we will do right. But, if we stand with people that do wrong, then we will do wrong.

CTR Project

A Right Heart

“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”

-Benjamin Franklin

         What this quote means is that, It doesn’t matter if you have the best looks or strength, it doesn’t matter if you are the richest man in the world, What truly matters is if you have your heart in the right place. An example of this can be the president Donald Trump. He might be one of the richest men in the world but it doesn’t matter because his heart is no in the right place. A homeless person can be a greater man than Trump. Another example of this is with charity donors.  They may not be the richest people but they are great people. This is because they give and don’t expect to get something in return. Another example of this are volunteer workers. They are better people than those stronger and richer than them. This is because volunteer workers give their time and effort to help others before themselves.

The Best Way

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

-Charles Ketterer

This statement said by Charles Ketterer seems to me like one this down right truthful. Your future will only be as great as you think it will be as long as you put in the effort. If you don’t plan on having a great life then, you will not have one. You have to set a goal to have a great life and to anything to make that goal an accomplishment. An example of this can be while you are in school. If you plan on graduating High School and put in the effort, you will graduate. Another example of this quote can be with sports. If you want to be one of the best basketball players to ever live, you have to put in all your effort and try your best and you will do it. A non-example of this can be with a lazy person. They can set one of their goals to graduate from school but, if they do not do their  best then it is not likely that their dream will come true. Another non-example can be with a person with doubt. If they say can’t do something then just because they don’t believe in their self it will make it true.  

You'll be taken care of

“If you do what’s right, if you live the right way, you’ll be taken care of.”

-Rachel Castillo

This statement said by Rachel seems pretty truthful. If you do what's right in life, then later on in life you’ll be taken care of. This young woman found $36,000 in cash in a bag at a golf course where she works at. She could have kept the money and no one would have ever known. She did the honest thing and called the police to turn the money in.

Right is Right

“Right is right only when entire.”

-Victor Hugo

This quote makes a lot of sense to me because it is true. You can’t tell a story and just keep the bad things out of it, it would be a lie. An example of this can be when you're parents ask you what you did when you went out with your friends. If you went to go eat then drink and, you only tell them that you went out to eat, it is considered a lie because you didn’t tell them the whole truth. To make it true you have to tell them everything you did, the good and the bad.  

A Choice

“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

-Dr. Ben Carson

This quote can go with anyone. No one wants to grow up to be poor. We all have the ability to have a great future, but it all depends on how hard we want to work for it. Dr. Carson grew up very poor in the city of Detroit. He didn’t like being poor so that's why he worked really hard to be successful in life so he wouldn’t have to be poor anymore. Another example of this can be the way Marshal Mathers, aka Eminem, grew up. He grew up in Detroit as well very poor. But the one thing he did was read. He would read the dictionary everyday to expand his vocabulary. After years and years of working really hard, he became successful.  

Never

“You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.”

-Thomas S Monson

         This quote said by Mr. Monson is truly remarkable. He speaks the truth when he says you can never be right by doing wrong. An example of this can be cheating on a test. If you cheat on your test and pass it you are still failing because you are a cheater. Your lies will eventually catch up to you and you will fail. But, you can’t be wrong by doing what is right. Another example of this can be telling on your friend. It might seem like a bad thing to do since they are your friends, but they can get hurt by doing wrong.
