“You will go far with CTR” -Mr. Haymore

“Choosing the right“ is a motto that Mr. Haymore created and really looks up to. He does not only motivate himself, but he also encourages other people to make the right decisions as well as to keep moving forward. This motto that he has created is straightforward, and i believe it can really change a person's life in many ways. Mr. Haymore pursues students to do their best and always has a really positive attitude with all his students every time in and out of class. The motto “CTR” can be inspiring to anyone who may just need a little bit of courage, which is something that Mr. Haymore gives out. Choosing the right is very important because that is what builds up who you will be in the future, who you will become. CTR is something that should be part of our daily lives. Make the right decisions/ Choose the right and good will come to you. Choose the wrong and you will have nothing but downfalls.

YThe ultimate choice

The Ultimate Choice

Of all the choices you will ever make, one choice supersedes all others-the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make correct decisions for the remainder of your life. This one choice, The Ultimate choice, is your keystone for being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. 

THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is: 

To be a CTR person--to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7 !!!

Making the right decisions is important, only for the fact that, that determines what your whole life will depend on. A person who constantly makes bad decisions and has no plans ahead of himself/herself will end up in a place that not so many people will enjoy being at. Your life depends on the decisions you make, because if you take the right decisions then success will come into your life, followed by many other good things that will benefit you throughout it. If you take the wrong choices, you will not get where you want to be and the only thing that will come into your life is failure. I believe everyone is capable of achieveing what they want, but they just need to work hard enough to reach that goal. Some people may have better abilities, but if someone really wants something, abilities dont matter. Choosing the right, hard effort and dedication will get you what you want.

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.

 Chinese Proverb

   Having beauty in the character is important because that is what builds up who you are. Who you are is what you will become. If your character isn't good, then good things won't come your way. Sometimes people mess up, and they mess it up for themselfs and sometimes other people. We all make mistakes but i guess we can't go back on them no matter how much we want it. Your character will help you make the right decisions so you wont have to look back at them later. There will be peace at home if you have a good character, things will go right and you will be happy. Being happy is a good thing, it is a great feeling that your chaarcter can take away if you make the bad choices. Being happy makes you be yourself, it makes you feel positive about the things that are happening in your life, and I doubt anyone would want to ruin that. Value the things you have by having a good character. Keeping a good character will get you to places and you will recieve what you want, what you need in your life.

Health Related Issue

WEDNESDAY, June 1, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Ritalin, a popular drug for treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), might increase the risk of an abnormal heart rhythm shortly after a young person starts taking it, a new study suggests.Children and teens who were prescribed methylphenidate -- sold under the brand names Ritalin, Daytrana and Concerta -- had a 61 percent increased risk of arrhythmias during the first two months of use, according to the analysis of South Korean patients.But most children on the medication should not experience heart problems, stressed senior study author Nicole Pratt, a senior research fellow at the Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Research Center at the University of South Australia."In the average child, the risk of serious cardiovascular events is extremely small [three per 100,000 per year], and any absolute excess risk associated with methylphenidate is also likely to be small," Pratt said.Also, the study did not prove that the medication causes an irregular heartbeat.However, doctors should take these findings into account when putting a child on methylphenidate, Pratt added.

• A popular drug for treating attention-defict hyperactivity disorder, might increase the risk of an abnoraml heart rhythm.
• People who suffer from ADHD are involved in this issue
• They are studying more about this issue to see how they can prevent that from happening or what is causing that symptom 

This even relates to me because i have friends that suffer from ADHD and it can be something that can affect the. Also because this may not be the only drug that bring side effect such as an abnormal heart attack. Other medicines could have symptoms that we didnt even know about and they should be looked at. 

Coming to the health fair taught me about many services that I wasn't really aware of. For example, how to apply to medical at a low price. Some people suffer from economic problems and can't afford to spend on check-ups so they believe they don't have any other options. The health fair also showed me how undocumented people are eligible to receive medical care. The fair offered students volunteer opportunities, which is beneficial to receive the ours needed to graduate. Having these events is important, because they help bring knowledge into our community. Another reason why these events is so our community can be informed, and be able to know how to stay healthy. These fairs welcome all families and it is a great opportunity for people to receive knowledge about how to take care of their body.

Student Success Statement

“If i’ve got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing them the best way i know how, everything else falls into line. If i do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.” -Dan Dierdorf

Knowing how to do the right think right is very important. For example, if you are suppose to wash the dishes but you keep pausing and taking breaks every 5 minutes, the you are doing the right thing wrong. The reason for that is because you are doing the right thing by washing the dishes but the wrong thing by pausing every so often, which will make what you’re doing take even longer to finish up. Doing the right thing wrong will take up to much of your time and will unfocus you from your main focus. Doing the right thing right will help you get things done much quicker and better because you will only be focused on your main focus. Keep yourself focused on just one thing because the rest doesn't have to matter if you want to get things done the correct way. It is important to make the right decisions because that will lead you up to good things and not bad.

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem." Dr. Laura Schlessinger
The reward of doing what is right doesnt have to be an object or something given to you. The reward should be you feeling better about yourself. If you feel good about yourself and you feel like you did the right thing then good stuff will come to you. Karma willl always get back to you if you do not do what is right. Point is that you dont need no reward because life itself will reward you with great things. Helping others will help you aswell by making you a better person and someome who can be trusted. It is a great feeling when someone can trust you and it is also a great feeling when you know you did the right thing and that everything will be perfectly fine. Do what is right so right can come to you. Do what is wrong and wrong will come to you. It all depends on your decisions and how you want life to come back at you. Think about what you are doing before you do something that will bring you repercussions in the future or at the moment.

Phillip Riggs' Four Success Tips

1.  Work Hard.
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don't chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

Working hard is one of the most important rules you can follow. What you work for is what you will recieve if you actually work hard enough. Before seeking towards something, you must know what is it that you are reaching for so therefore you must follow your passions. For example having a passion for basketball and wanting to play proffessional ball. In order to achieve that, you must be committed to practice to get better and better by the day. You also have to commit to school in order to play basketball, so you must focus on both things. School plays a major key in what you are interested in doing because education is what makes you successful in life. Chasing after money can be a good thing but at the same time a bad thing. When chasing after money, you only focus on that and plan nothing for your future. Sometimes money can be your motivation to achieve what you want so thats a good thing. If you are good to others, others will be good to you. Being negative towards other people will only bring you negativity and bad moments. Being good to others will bring good to you because you are doing what is right.

World Records

World Record

1. A referance book published annually, listing world records and national records, both of human achievements and the extreems of the natural world.
2. World Record Holder: Arthur Guinness
3. Was set in 1955

Susannah Mushatt Jones, the Guinness Book of World Records holdr for the oldest living human being, has officially passed that distinction on to someone else. Multiple outlets have announced that she passed away on Thursday, May 12. She was 116 years old. Robert Young, a consultant at Jones's public housing facility in Brooklyn, confirmed this sad news to The Associated Press. She was born in 1899, four years before the Wright brothers took their first flight in 1903. "Ms. Jones was the very last American from the 1800's," said Young, who said jones had been ill for about the past 10 days. According to the newspaper, she had a sign in her kitchen that read "Bacon makes everything better." This woman was a genius. "I surround myself with love and positive energy," Jones also told the New York City Housing Authority in 2005."That's the key to long life and happiness."

I am facinated about this world record because some people put themselves down because they are aging when in reality they should thank god that they've come this far in life. They should appreciate their wrinkles and scars because those are symbols of everything you went through in life. Lamenting yourself isn't going to get you nowhere so might aswell live your life to the fullest now that you still have the opportunity to be in this world. Eating well is a major key in your everyday life, so keep yourself healthy for the good of your benefits. You don't want to be elderly and just be stuck in bed with pain. If you treat yourself right now, then you could live your last days to the fullest and the happiest you've ever been. It is possible to live a long life but it just depends on the person, on how they decide they want to live it. You dont know how to appreciate the things you have until you see the end approaching closer and closer to you.

No, i wouldn't want to break a world record, because that isnt something that interests me. Breaking a work record isnt going to help me throughout life. Although it seems like a pretty cool thing to do, i still would not want to.

Pick me up

“You knew what i was when you picked me up.”

This short clip was showing how the rattlesnake was being very persuasive about not harming the indian if he’d get him off the cliff and on the valley. The indian is not convinced at the beginning but then decides that the rattlesnake is saying the truth. The indian takes the rattlesnake to the valley and when he puts him down, the rattlesnake bites him in the leg. This is showing dishonesty on the rattlesnakes part and bad decision making on the indians side. The indian knew who the rattlesnake was , and its capabilities when he picked it up, but still decided to do so. He chose the wrong and the repercussions were to get bitten by the snake and left there to die. If the indian would've made a better decision nothing like that would’ve happened and he would still be alive. Making the right decisions can prevent many bad things from happening to you. It can prevent failure, losing something special in your life or someone losing trust in you. An example like what happened in this clip can be when people promise they won't or will do something but they never end up doing what they promised. If you promise something and a person is really counting on you for something then you should keep your word. Making bad decisions can really affect you futuristically so stop and think about what you are doing before you do it.

S.S.S

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing." -Theodore Roosevelt
        A decision is something that will not be easy to do if you aren't sure of what you want. Making decisions can be risky. They can either turn out bad, or maybe good, but you never know and that is why you should think about the decions you make before you regret them. For example, making a bad decision and losing your parents trust. Your parents will constantly be worried about you even if you aren't up to nothing bad because now they doubt you. Your parents doubting you, and not trusting you enough is the most horrible thing ever, but if you did wrong then you earned it. If you want trust, and if you want good things to come your way you must do the right thing. Bad influences are not good and those type of people will convince you to do wrong. The best thing you can do when making decisions is the right thing, because that will lead you to good opportunities and anything that makes you happy. Making the wrong decisions never gets you what you want, infact sometimes those decisions can take things away from you, things that are valuable and special in your life.

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong." -Wilford Woodruff
By nothing is ever gained, Wilford Woodruff means things such as trust, respect, your chances of being able to succeed, and basically stuff that are part your daily lifestyle. Trust is something that must be earned and if lost, it may be really hard to get back. When you do what is wrong you can affect other people other then yourself, for example family, or close friends. If you do what is wrong you recieve repercussions and may regret it. So you should do what is right because that always leads to success. Do the right thing and good will come to you. I doubt anyone wants bad.

Basketball

Basketball
Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches (46cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.048 m) high mounted to a backboard at each end. A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A field goal scores three points for the shooting team if the player shoots from behind the three-point line, and two points if shot from in front of the line. A team can also score via free throws, which are worth one point, after the other team was assessed with certain fouls. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) is issued when the score is tied at the end of regulation. Basketball was Invented by James Naismith and first played in Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S in 1891.

 What Pam Knox is saying is that when someone actually has a good character, and do the right thing at the correct time it will be a good moment because doing good makes you feel good. When someone chooses to do the wrong thing at a wrong time, it makes nobody feel goo, infact it may cause troubles not only for one person but many individuals. Choosing the right is something good that can bring you success into your life which doesnt make you feel bad. When choosing the wrong it is not a great moment because what are you going to be celebrating about if sooner or later you will get caught and recieve repercussions.
