"You will go far with CTR."

Mr. Haymore

Choose the right guys! I know that you make think why if we get to have no fun out of it , but you do. You get rewards and that is fun. I think you should always CTR because even though you don't get rewarded that exact moment you can get recognized on tv or by other people. People believe that they should always get rewarded by what they do, but how should you get rewarded when you doing bad things. If you smoke weed you have a less chance of getting rewarded because they are going to say that you are a nobody who deserves nothing. On the other hand there is a boy who goes to school and does not use drugs, they will see that he is a very well student and they will  want to reward him for that. No matter the situation, always CTR because it will lead to many great things now and in the future. 

Character 

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.

Reflection: I think that what this quote is saying is that if you have amazing character at home and out in the streets then you will be treated with the respect you earned. I believe that good character is important because if you don't have good character then no one will ever respect you. You will be known as that dumb stupid kid who doesn't know that his consequences have actions. This you should follow because the more amazing character you have the more people will want to be around you. 

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

Sophocles

Reflection: I think that what this quote means than i'd rather fail many timer, than be a cheater. An example of this quote is when someone cheats on a test. This person is choosing the wrong. They are making bad decisions and it will affect them in the future. Another example is when someone studies for their test. This person is making a wise decision. When you make wise decisions, you are rewarded. This person will be rewarded with a good grade. You should always keep trying, even if you fail many times. Choose the right.  

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect,dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self esteem.”

Dr Laura Schlessinger

Reflection: I believe that what this quote is trying to say is that when you do something that is good then it is most likely that you will feel good too. You should be proud of the decisions you decide to make because it’s like they say your actions determine your destiny. So If you want to be a good person and offer an older person in the bus your seat then you will be seen as a role model because younger kids will see this and they will want to do this to and you will feel proud of yourself because you will see others wanting to follow your steps as well. Doing this will help you and make you feel like a CTR person.

"You knew what I was when you picked me up." 

Reflection: What this is trying to say is that if you know something is bad for you now then don't do it. Why are you going to risk your life "trying" out something that might get you killed. You should not do things that are bad for you for example drugs. There are bad and just horrible. They might not affect you now but maybe later in life you can have cancer or some very bad side effects to it. You should not drink to "forget" about things because you won't forget about things it will just make things worst. What this is just trying to say is , if you know something is bad and you know you will get in trouble then just simply STAY AWAY FROM IT. Don't risk your life for something not worth you should be playing a sport which is better. Be a CTR Person

"In any  moment of decision, the best this you can do is the right right thing." 

 Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: What this quote is trying to say is don't to wrong. If you want to go out and do drugs think about it first. Think about the consequences there will be and the bad of your health. Think about the things you could be doing that are better and fun. You could be watching a movie or going for a run. But first you must always ting and make sure that your choices are wisely. Why? Because myself decided to choose the wrong not to long ago. I decided that if I did some thing it would be right but it wasn't . I have realized during these 3 days that there is more to life, what i am trying to say is that think of the choices you make in like. Think of what you what to make out of your life because of you little mistake you can end up ruining your whole life. 

"It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time." - Pam Knox

Reflection: I believe that his quote means you are wise if you do the right thing. An example of this quote is when you witness someone steal. If you tell the police about it, you are wise. You are standing up and doing what is right. When you do what is right, you get rewarded. Another example of this quote is when someone cheats. If you don't tell on them, you are choosing the wrong. You know what they did is wrong yet you don't step up and do the right thing. Always do the right thing, no matter when or at what time. 

"I have been asked what I mean by 'WORD OF HONOR.' I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give MY WORD OF HONOR never to cross it. Can i get out that circle? No never! I'd die first."    Karl G Maesar 

Reflection: This quote means that if you promise something, you should never break that promise. An example of this is when someone promises not to do drugs. This person should be committed to not do them. They have to fulfill their promise and make someone proud. Another example of this is when someone tells someone they're going to study, but they never do. The other person is expecting a certain grade on their test. When you don't uphold your promise, you seem like a liar. If you.re a liar, you won't be trusted. Without trust, you can't be successful. 

"A promise must never be broken" 

Alexander Hamilton

Reflection: What this quote is trying to say is that if you say you are going to do something then you should do that. If you don't do what you said you were going to do a certain day or time then you are breaking promises. You are making people thing that you are not responsible and they will have a reason to not choose you in what ever it is you want. You need to learn to keep track of your time and days so you make sure you attend or go to the meeting you needed to go to. For example if you tell your coach that you will be late to practice and say I will be there at 4 then you better make sure you do or else she is going to think you forgot and just went home and that is so irresponsible. Another is when someone promises do buy something for the party and forgets. That is a CTW person who will never get chosen again to do things. Don't break promises and be a CTR person. 

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails." 

Henry David Thoreau 

Reflection: What this quote is trying to tell us is that when you are good you will succeed in life. If you do things to help others or just simply do things that are life then you will do great things. If you don't like helping others then you are not great. You must do good in order to succeed and be great. What Henry tries telling us that  that you should make your decisions because they are right. Be leader not a follower. Don't depend your decisions on everyone else. If they do something bad, don't follow their footsteps/ An example of this quote is when someone does their homework. This person is choosing the right. They are making the right decisions. Another example of this quote is when someone ditches. This person is choosing the wrong. They are making bad decisions because ditching they think ditching is cool. Choose the Right and be successful. 

"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 the because their right."  - Theodore Hesburgh

Reflection: What this quote is trying to say is that you should make your decisions because they are right. Be leader not a follower. Don't depend your decisions on everyone else. If they do something bad, don't follow their footsteps/ An example of this quote is when someone does their homework. This person is choosing the right. They are making the right decisions. Another example of this quote is when someone ditches. This person is choosing the wrong. They are making bad decisions because ditching they think ditching is cool. Choose the right.

Character is higher than intellect

Ralph Waldo Emerson

What ralph is trying to tell us here is that no matter how smart you are or how dumb you are what matters the most is how you choose to react. If a person is very smart but is very rude that is bad character. If a person is dumb but is very helpful and respectful that is good character. Who do you think will be liked more and respected more? The poor guy with good character is. Why? Because he may be dumb but he is not rude to others so he will get respect back. For example you are competing against a person who isn’t that smart who do you think will win? You yes because you are smarter but if you decide to make jokes about it then you are not a winner to other people. They will think that you character is bad and nasty that will will want the dumb guy to win. Be wise about how you want you character to be.

"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right." 

  Brigham Young 

What Brigham Young is trying to tell us is that when you do right you get independence and freedom. You get good things out of doing whats right and you can call them rewards. When it comes to going out with friends or going to a party you need to earn your freedom. You could do the chores or clean out your closet or just simply help your parents and you might be able to go out. If you decide to go out and not tell your parents there could be consequences to it. You might get caught and get in big trouble or you might just do something bad that could get you in trouble later. When you do what is right you can get rewarded and gifted but if you don't what is right you could get in trouble and suffer consequences.  

"They're only truly great who are truly good."

George Chapman

What this quote is saying is that if you want to do good you must be a CTR person. You must not use your phone in class or else that is not good. A great person is usually considered a good person and that is what George Chapman is trying to tell us here. You must be a CTR person and you will be considered great. What he tells us is that there can be no bad, but GREAT only. Cheating, copying, and lying is not a good thing to do if you want to be a great person you must do the opposite and do what is right. You first must be good in order to be great. 

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the longer, pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse im sports than a cheater. Don't do it."

                              

                             By:George Mitchell

What this quote is trying to say is that don't be a cheater or else you are not a CTR person. If you eat steroids before a fight so help you win you just made your self a cheater. You made a wrong mistake on doing that because others will start calling  you cheater . Yo must know what is right and not eat the steroid before the fight . Win or loss you will not be considered a cheater or a CTW. 

           "Act well your part; there all honor lies." 

                                     

                                     Alexander Pope  

Reflection: This quote means that you should choose the right. If you choose the right, you will have honor. If you choose the wrong, people will judge you. If you want to be looked up to, you have to choose the right. An example of this quote is when someone lies. This person is choosing the wrong. They will be looked upon and not trusted. Another example of this quote is when someone does their work. This person is choosing the right. You should choose the right if 

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.                

               George Washington 

Reflection: This quote means that you should not be around the wrong crowd. If you are around bad people, you make the wrong choices. In order to be successful, you have to make the right choices. An example of this quote is when someone studies in a group. This person is hanging out with the right people. Their reputation will be good, so they will succeed. Another example of this quote is when someone cheats on tests. This person will have a bad reputation. They will be known for cheating and will not succeed in life. If you are around wise people, you will have a good reputation. Choose the right.George Washington's quote in my opinion is true because if your going to have negative people around you might as well just not have any company at all. By being around positive people you not only have a positive atmosphere but its also shows the respect you have toward yourself. By hanging out with negative people your reputation becomes crippled and people start judging you not only by you but by who you hang out with. I remember one other quote we were doing that said, the people that you with most of the time have the hugest impact on the way you will act.

" Right is Right only when entire " 

  

Hugo Victor 

Reflection: What this quote is trying to say is that right can only be right when you give a perfect explanation why. If something is wrong you should know why its wrong and when something is right you should also know why. A person should always choose the right no matter what . If you choose this wrong then you are a CTW person . You should be able to know what is good and what is bad.  In order to be a CTW person you must be able to know what good is amd why. 

   "Only those live who do good" 

           

  

                                                        Count Leo Tolstoy

Reflection: This quote means that if you really want to live life, you have to choose the right. In order to be successful, you have to choose the right. An example of this quote is when someone doesn't do their homework. This person is choosing the right. They are not living life because they will constantly be in trouble because of their bad decisions. Another example of this quote is when someone is paying attention in class. This person is choosing the right. They are making the right decisions. If you make the right decisions, you are living the good life.The only true way of living is by doing what's right and by doing the what's good. I agree with Mr. Tolstoy that the only real way to live is by doing good because you feel good. For example if you decide to party and drink you probably think you're living but you're not living you failing to live. If you're on task and doing what's right then you are living. You're also going to have a better live because you're future is more brighter. Just like a recent post i did, you can't feel good when you're doing something bad, you can't be living a good life if you're not choosing good choices.

"In life as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goalpost are"  by Arnold H. Glasgow

                                       

Reflection: This quote means that if you don't have goals in mind, you will not be successful. An example of this quote is when you are determined to achieve straight A's. This person knows what ambitions they desire in life. This person will be successful. Another example is when someone doesn't do their homework. This person will not be successful because they do not have goals. If you don't know what you truly want to achieve, you will not be successful. Choose the right.What Mr. Glasgow is trying to say is that without goals in your life you will never become successful. I agree with him because without goals in your life, you wouldn't have anything to strive for. You wouldn't be living, you'll just be managing. People whop don't have high goals or a lot of goals won't ever become successful. The only way to go far in life is to set high goals and reach them. Without goals life would just be pointless to you.
