“The ULTIMATE CHOICE is to be a CTR Person-to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7!!!!

-Mr. Haymore

This statement is so true because we must always choose the right no matter what. There are many things that are tempting us to choose the wrong but if we are strong enough we can always say no and choose the right. If we choose the right then our path will be much easier and successful than if we choose the wrong, When we choose the wrong we pick up bad habits which is not okay. Being a Ctr person leads to the baddest things. For example if we start to drink, smoke , and copy people then we will have no future and nothing will come out as it’s suppose to. On the other hand if we always choose the right we will have everything we want and more.

We have to honor and make the right decision which is to always choose the right no matter what so we can be very successful later on.

“Right is right only when entire’-by Victor Hugo

Victor is trying to tell us that we should always tell the truth but not just that we're suppose to say the whole truth. If we only tell half the truth then it doesn’t count because we are always suppose to tell the whole truth. For example if we say half the truth we are choosing ctw because it isn’t entirely true you missed out on some important events. We have to always tell the truth no matter if we get in trouble or if we get laughed at. Even though there are many obstacles when we tell the truth we have to if we want to be a ctr person. We must learn to tell the whole truth so we can be 100%  honest with our friends and family. If we want to be good people and follow the ctr path then we have to begin by telling the whole truth and not just half way. Think of it like you wouldn’t like someone telling you only half the truth you would like the whole truth that’s why we have to put ourselves in their perspective so we can know how it feels when they lie. So we must always speak with the truth and if we are going to be ashamed then it’s better if we don’t do anything bad.

“I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what is right.” Dean Smith

Dean is trying to tell us that if we do right people will notice us. It isn’t about only doing right only one time we have to always choose the right that way people can look up to us and admire us. At times we believe that choosing the right isn’t worth it but it really is because if we don’t choose the right then people will notice us but in a  bad way. Dean left a legacy but not because he was a coach but because he always did the right thing. He wouldn’t say bad words he wouldn’t get mad when his team lost he understood and knew that if we do the right we get 10x better than if we choose the wrong. If we choose the wrong then once we aren’t there anymore then people will remember us like oh that kid is bad and all of that stuff. In the other hand if we do what is correct then once we aren’t there people will have a good image and we will have good luck all the time.

“It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma (good results, destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.”- Dr. Randy Pausch

This quote is telling us how when we lead our lives the correct way we don’t have to worry about the negativity that will come our way. It is like being a ctr person if we always choose the right then we won’t have to worry about other things because everything will turn out fine in what we do. For example; when we have an assignment due we have to turn it in on time and not wait till the last minute because that is when we don’t have good luck. If we turn in our assignments late then we will have mistakes and get karma for not ctr. At times we don’t do what Dr.Randy is telling us but we have to find our own way. Meaning if we know our life isn’t going the track we’re suppose to be in.  If we lead our lives to the correct path we will have everything and there will be no need to worry about karma. We have to follow our passions and turn that into an actual career. If we love a certain type of thing we should follow it and not be wishing we could do that take action and your dreams will come true. If we decide to slack of and not care about anything then we will get karma.

“Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.”- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

This quote is telling us how when we are intelligent that isn’t the only way we get the right education. There are many more things we can do in order to have a good education. For example is we have a good character then things will easily come our way because if we lack on people’s respect we will never be a good person in general. Intelligence is one of the keys to success because when we are intelligent we have more chances of getting the right education. We have to try to have a good character and show that we know how to treat others. For example if we are really intelligent and are always on things in the correct path if we don’t have a good character then we really aren’t doing anything to get the education you want because your character says more than any action you’ll do. To have a good character we have to choose the right in the actions we do we can’t just expect to turn good all of a sudden.

     The three questions:

1. Can people trust me to do what’s right?
2. Am I committed to doing my very best?
3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

“I f the answer to these are YES, there is no way you can fail.” By: Lou Holtz

This statement is telling me how if we follow the ctr path then we won’t fail at all. Those three questions are the ones that make us a strong person. If we don’t treat people the way we want to be treated then we will fail later on because we are not showing kindness.  Sometimes we do things but we do them by force it doesn’t mean we are committed to try our best. We must always try our very best so that we can succeed and achieve great things in life. No matter how hard things get there will always be a change if we give it our best.  There will be many obstacles but when we try our best nothing negative will come out of that. Trust is  something very important! If people can’t trust us then we will fail because people will always think we are lying. There will always be trust if we learn not to break that trust. If all of those questions are yes then we will make it and be successful without failure.

                    Challenges Teens Face Today

1. There are many teens that are going through some issues maybe personal or physical but they do ctw because of it. We don’t notice how these things affect our community because of it. Teens face many issues and aren’t receiving the help they need. Due to lack of help they do things they shouldn’t be doing today. Our teen life is to enjoy and yeah we may have problems but we don’t need to choose the right. These are some issues that teens are most common to face.

1. Cyber bullying
2. Grades
3. Cyber Talking
4. Drugs and Alcohol

    5.Broken Homes

    6. Violence

     7. Sex

     8. Self-Esteem and  Body image

 2) One of the major issues I have right now is school. It is school because I stress out about homework and test. School is very important to me because I want to grow up and have a professional career.

3) Being a ctr person helps me a lot because  I am choosing the right to stay in school and do all of my work. Ctr helps a lot of people who follow it because it leads you to the right path way.

4) I can help others by supporting them talking to them and give them a hand when they need it. I can give them advice try to keep them on the right path and get them to be a ctr person.

Reflection: The greatest needs teens need is support and comprehension. Teens need a lot of emotional support because they struggle to get there things together and be who they are. They  are still trying to figure themselves out and with every issue they have it make it even harder for them. Teens go into a lot of issues because they don’t know how to handle it or maybe they aren’t getting the attention from their family. Teens are developing and they have the struggles to get back up and keep trying.

Thanksgiving Week

     My thanksgiving week was a lot of homework it was a very stressful week. I enjoyed to  play soccer on my mean time that was free. I especially enjoyed my Thanksgiving because i was with my family we were all united and we celebrated as a family. On Monday i started all my homework i had to do 3 essays, a booklet, and finish reading my book that was assigned to the class. It took me a couple of days to finish my homework but i finished it early. The only books i read was the book assign to the class because we were suppose to then do an essay about certain things in the book. I spent most of the week doing my homework because it was a lot that had to be done. My family and I went to the park for a little while to get some distraction from everything that was done during Thanksgiving. One experience of ctr i had was that as soon as i got my homework i started on it and i didn’t wait till last minute to finish all of it. I chose the right and decided to finish all my homework before it was too late.

‘’ Honesty is the best policy”

This quote is trying to tell us that the best thing to do is to be honest with people not only our families. To me it is trying to tell us that we must be honest no matter what. If we choose the wrong then we have to own up to our actions because if we don’t we won’t be able to feel good about ourselves. When we choose to lie then at first we feel good but then we start to get guilty to the point where we can no longer handle it. When we are honest with the people then we will feel good and so will they. For me when i lie i feel terrible to the point where i can’t stop it. The guilt builds up and it just makes you feel worse than before. Sometimes we do have to lie for the purpose that we need to protect someones feelings. Lies aren’t excusable because if we put ourselves in the other person’s position we would want them to be honest with us and not lie about something. When we are too nice then we feel that we need to lie to keep them happy but in reality we don’t need to lie because if we do then it will be worse and we end up hurting them even more.

         These are the three magic keys to living your life with integrity:

1. Have the courage to say no.
2. Have the courage to face the truth.
3. Do the right thing because it is right.

      

These keys are the right path of a successful life. The main thing we need to have is integrity because we have to have the courage to say no when we know the answer is wrong. If we hang out with the right group of people then we will turn out as great as they are but if we hang out with the wrong crowd then we will turn bad. When hanging out with the wrong crowd then  they will manipulate you to the bad. But if we have the courage and say no then we will be on the right path and we will be successful at it because we choose to hang out with the wise. Sometimes all we really need is integrity because we will have the courage to say no and stand up for others and ourselves.

"The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have.''
by; Boyd K. Packer
  I believe this quote is very inspiring because its true. The more obedient we are with people the more freedom we will have to do things we want.  If were not as obedient we wont have freedom towards the things we want because we are choosing the wrong way to build our lives. If we are always obedient we will have the key to freedom by showing others that we choose the right and that we are very well educated. If were not obedient then we really aren't going to be free because everyday we get tested on obedience no matter what and its up to us make sure were obedient, we choose the right, and then we get to  live the life we all want. The only way to make it in life is by doing ctr and being obedient because without those we will be one the bad kids and not care what we do. But if we want to be happy grow up with an education we need to be obedient listen to the ones that tell you things for your own good because they don't want you to loose your education for choosing the wrong path in life.

"Decisions Determine Destiny"
By: Thomas S. Monson

It can benefit me because if we make our decisions correct then it will leads us to our destiny. If we chose wrong then we wont have a successful destiny because we will have consequences to our decisions that weren't the right ones. This quote can benefit a lot of people in many ways because it explains how we need to be certain and pay attention to what we decide meaning if were going to make a decision it would be best if think about and make sure its the correct one or else we will have to suffer the consequences. It benefits me because I know in order to have a good destiny i need to make the correct decisions.
