Class Evaluation

Class Evaluation 

1. The things i liked about this class were the people i got to meet and the friendships i built while in this class. I enjoyed the lessons that were taught along with the discussions that were disputed throughout the school year. I enjoyed the free time that was given to us students, along with the laughs and games. I also enjoyed singing to the ctr song.

2. The things i did not like about this class was that you can't talking to the people next to you. I understand that we had to be focused on doing our work, but if our talking vomule isnt that high, then i really dont see the problem. I also didnt like the fact that all we do is sit, i wish that we had more time to do other activities.

3. Recommendations for the class would be to do more group activities. For example, have students talk to one another with the opportunity of getting up from our seats more often. Other recommendations i would like to add are having more common known music play when we are completing our task.

4. A highlight for me in this class was being able to connect the lessons to my favorite show. This show reminds me how i was when i used to be a kid, and the fact that i had the opportunity to have that chance was a huge highlight. It gave my classmates a laugh, and it made me happy and comfortable to be in the class.

5. I did do my best in class. Since the class have simple tasks it was easy for me to put my strong effort and focus on the requirements that had to be taken. By completing the coure with an A, i believe that it shows my true and honest work. I am a hard working person and my grade proves that other wise.

6. I will admit that there are days where i forget to read my life planning book, but i am trying. To me it is the thought that counts. I have made a point to remeber the huge goaks that i have in my life, and repeat them before i fall asleep at night. To me, i do not need my life planning book physically there each time. As long as i do use it at the end of it.

7. I am committed to being a ctr person because it brings you a healthy life style. The type of life style that everyone should have if they obeyed that rules that are there. When i grow up and have my children, i would want them to be a ctr person because i want the best for them. Like i said, a ctr person changes people for the better.

-Appreciate the value of yourself

Quote: "From self-love to self-worth" 

Self- Esteem is an important quality to have because you should be your biggest fan. If you aren't going to believe in yourself, than who will? You should be the type of person who believe that you will be successful and recieve great things in the world.

Quote: "Whatever we sow, we reap." 

The seed of responsibility is important because you should take authority for the actions that you take.

With that being said, you should want to work with people that complete their tassks, and are professional throughtout the work day. Responsibility is something that is taught to you at a young age, to prepare you for the work field. As a student, responsibility is simply to complete your homework everyday. If you school has a uniform policy, then your responsibility is to follow that policy and the other rules that follow. In conclusion. people are responsible everyday, because it is simply a daily habit that you act upon.

Quote: "A large vocabulary--which implies broad, general knowledge-- characterizes the more successful persons, regardless of their occupations." 

The seed of wisdom is important because when someone is aware of certain things they could teach you.

When someone reflects off of their own experiences, it usually happens where that experience turns into their advice. When that tends to happen the other person basically states what they would have done differently if they had the chance to go back in time and fix it.

It is okay to have communication when it comes to others because that way you could ask for help if needed. My advice to give though, is that when you do communcate and conversate with different people you will be listening to many opinions. It should be your decision, whether or not to listen to that specific person. Be careful when it comes to listening to those who do care, compared to those who are just toxic and do not want you to successed in life.

By living a positive lifestyle, you could be develop healthy relationships within others and yourself. Faith is having a positive attitude when it comes to events that lead to negative outcomes. Every person is different, for example do you see the glass half empty or half full? The way you view things is quite important because that will determine if your relationships will last or not. Eventually some people could get tired of you, or the other way around. You may get tired of the person. Faith will have a huge impact on your future. You just have to believe.

Honesty Video Reflection:

What i saw in the video was a student who continued to stay honest with her self, even if there was temptations. An example was given in which students who were studying to become doctors were taking an exam. They too wanted to cheat to get a great score, but a brave student had a voice and set an example. The student rised from the seat and stated how he had 3 children back home and forced his family to move into an enviroment in which could be better. He said that if he were to see a student cheat he will not hesitate to report them. With that being said, the entire class who had their cheat sheets put them away and continued the test. As a result, when you are not honest you are only lying to yourself.

Pyramid of Success

Pyramid of Success

John Wooden

Block 1: Industriousness:

Quote: "In plain and simple English this means hard work. Very hard work. There is no substitute for very hard work when it comes to success." 

Industriousness means to be the type of person to work hard for the things you want. In life, nothing will ever just be handed to you. Putting effort is the number one thing in any situation. A goal is not titled a goal until it is achieved. If the goal is not complete and or accomplished than it was simply a dream. Yours goals in life requires effort and dedication. Any action that you take that is important to your life, should have some type of energy towards the event. For example, as a student my responsibilities are receiving the proper grades in order to get a higher education. Its not just about your work habits, but also the relationships you have with people in general. When in a relationship with your best friend, trust and loyalty must be provided in order for the other person to feel safe. Another relationship that comes to mind is with your significant other. If loyalty and trust isn't there, then why would you be with that person? Loyalty and trust aren't the only key characteristics, but as well as communication. If you and the other person aren't talking then things most likely shouldn't be taking place. This involves being in a relationship with a friend, or with a loved one. The energy and time you put into your dream will all be worth it towards the end. In order to be successful in life you must sacrifice some things. It may be important to you, and it may not, but the result of it all will be great because it was something that you accomplished for yourself.
