Class Evaluation

1) What I like about this class is that we are able to learn more on coding. We learned more on how the computer works and what goes inside it when someone is using it. We are able to take in more lessons on how to improve our lives. I also liked that the teacher is always being positive about things. Also that this class made me realize how many goals I want to accomplish and the many more that I will soon be able to reach.

2) I didn't like that we had to design a program on scratch because it took a lot of time to do it. It was also very confusing. The coding was also something that i struggled with because it's in a computer language and that was something new to me. Also 

3) To improve this class you should change the agenda  because it gets too repetitive. Do more ctr card checks to see who brings them to class. Also change seats so students meet someone new every two months or so.

4) The highlight of this class was that I was able to meet a few new people who are underclassmen. They turned out to be good people. Also I learned about coding which is something i didn't think that I would be able to try.

5) I did try my best in this class. Apart from physics or IDS this class was very challenging when it came to coding and learning them. It was complicated but in the end I learned a few things about computers.

6) I am not reading my life planning notebook everyday. Although I am not doing so, I still have time to read a couple to have motivation in accomplishing my goals. 

7)I am committed to be a CTR person because that is way to get far in life. By doing good and being good it can help you accomplish more stuff than you  couldn't imagine.

The Ten Tips

The Ten Tips

1. Make a commitment to tell the truth.
2. Tell someone about your commitment.
3. Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason.
4. Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony.
5. Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it.
6. Don't indulge in little white lies.
7. Watch out for silent lies.
8. When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.
9. Talk to yourself.
10. Treat yourself when you tell the truth.

Reflection:

These 10 tips are useful because they will help you be a better person. Such as always telling the truth. There will be times when telling the truth is hard because of the consequences there might be. Telling someone about your commitment to tell the truth is also helpful. Not only it reminds you that you will tell the truth. That person will also lend you a hand. Before giving a smart answer. You have to think how that will make you feel about yourself. Also you'll have to stop and think how bad you might hurt the person with a sarcastic answer. Have caution when you exaggerate as you are talking o someone. This can mislead the person into thinking something else. Don't say a version of the truth. Meaning don't say little truths that would have a major impact later on.  Don't take pleasure in little lies. They will eventually become bigger. Silent lies are when you are asked a question and you don't answer. From my understanding staying quiet is another way of lying. If you catch yourself lying, stop and say the truth instead. Talk to yourself when you think about lying. It could bring a lot of consequences if you do lie. Lastly, whenever you tell the truth. Treat yourself to something because you did the right things.

School Break Days

During My Spring Break, I spent it mostly babysitting my little sister. I worked on some homework that was assigned during the break. I also started writing two books that i am planning to publish further into the future. I went to the gym and my aunt's house. While being on break i talked to a new friend i met before spring break. i also watched a couple of movies such as passengers, Logan along with some t.v shows like 13 reasons why, Prison Break and among others. I enjoyed the movie Logan a lot because it wasn't much about having powers or saving the world from a catastrophic event. It was more like being more human and learning to come to terms with what you are. I listened to a lot of Panic at the disco because they are such a good band and i enjoy their music. I spent most of my time cleaning the house or sleeping. I also did some research on information i needed to incorporate it the book i'm writing. 

Honesty

From this video i have seen that sometimes people will do anything to get a good grade. They will cheat just to graduate or pass the class. Being the person being asked for an answer also makes us dishonest if we give the person the answer. we are challenge because that person might be our friend and we might want to help them pass a test. We must choose to let them figure stuff on their own, we will be doing them a favor by showing them that they should try harder, or they should have studied more. being dishonest will challenge our moral selves and could possibly change us into something we never intended to be.
