Final: Part 1

Final: Part 1

1.  Somethings I liked about the class is that I was able to express whether I agreed or disagreed to the quotes. Another thing I liked about this class was that I learned how to start my own blog and I learned about different medical careers.

2.  One thing I didn’t like about this class was that I got frustrated when the internet didn’t work and the assignment I was doing would get erased.

3.  I believe there should be more free time.

4.  I think I did good but I know I could’ve done better in this class.

5.   Yes I am and so far I have completed a good amount of my goals and I was surprised because I didn’t think I could have completed some of those goals.

6.  I think I can but the problem is the temptation with the people who surround me but I will do my best to be committed to be a CTR person.

7.  I will always remember reading my Life Planning notebook because it was an important part of this class.

Student Success Statement 71

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

Thomas Carlyle

I believe that this is true because a person without a goal means they don’t know what they want in life. And if they don’t know what they want then they don’t know what to do to achieve something. And a ship without a rudder is a ship with now destination it wouldn’t know where to go or where to stop. 

Student Success Statement 70

Student Success Statement

If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.

Conclusion:

If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world.

Chinese Proverb

I believe that this is right because everything depends on the way a person is for example there isn’t going to be happiness in a home if everyone is constantly arguing and if that home is constantly arguing it can cause disturbance with neighbors and if they don’t get along its affecting the whole community and the nation. Its like a chain reaction and to keep everything going steady you need to have a good and beautiful character.

Student Success Statement 69

Student Success Statement

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

I agree with this quote I believe that it’s better to lose with your head held high and you knowing you did the right thing by not cheating than to live the rest of your life knowing you did won cheating. 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the last Monday of May in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. Before this holiday was known as the Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. On Memorial Day, the flag of the United States is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to its half-staff position where it stays until noon. It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day. The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. At noon, their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all.
