“You will go far with CTR”

Steven Haymore

During the time i spent in this class i have learned many, many things. For one i have learned and will be taking with me characteristics for living a good life. Also on should always be respectful to themselves as well as to those who they are surrounded by. To be a CTR person you need to be committed and determined to always CTR. When you voul to become a CTR person you are required to always do so and be a role model for everyone to see and learn from. Choosing the right will lead anyone to a good life and it is never too late to turn your life around. An example of being a CTR person is to choose to stay home and study for your finals or tests and be prepared rather than to go out with friends. Although many time we would rather have fun and play it cool for a while everything will pay off because in the end you end up with a good grade in the class and the knowledge that you are a CTR person and not wondering what would have happened if you stayed home. Leading your life in a CTR way will bring good to your life. “What goes around comes around” if you are always doing good and being the best you can be good will come to you too.

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 the 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!!!”

Mr. Haymore

Mr. Haymore has had a great impact on many people's lives and i am sure of it. He is a person who wants nothing but the best for him and those who surround him. He has always told us to be the best we can be. He promotes CTR. To be a CTR person is to always choose to do the right thing. When you choose to do the right thing you are making the world a better place. One thing i will always know for sure is to make the right choice. When you don't know what to do and you are doubting yourself as well as your actions you can always choose the right because it will be the right thing to do. As long as you choose the right your life will be heading in the right direction.

Beautiful Character

Character

“If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home, if there is harmony is 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

For all want peace. Peace will keep everyone at ease. Character is very important and everyone should consist of it. As to character will maintain everyone in the right direction and doing what they are supposed to do. Beautiful character is for everyone, there is nothing better than great character. When there is order in the nation everyone is doing the same thing. All are completing their parts and doing as they are supposed to. Order in the nation will result in order in each person's life. Nothing would be better than everyone doing as they are told and all working fairly and stable.

Memorial Day

1. Memorial day is a day in which all do died serving our country and remembered.
2. Memorial day is celebrated on the last monday in May, traditionally it was observed on May 30th.
3. Although there are many ways one can honor this holiday some ways you can show honor on memorial day are by saying thanks, having a barbecue for the troops, support injured service members and their family, and by visiting a veterans cemetery.
4. 
5. This Memorial day i will visit a veterans cemetery in honor of the ones who died before our country. My family will also be hosting a barbecue for our family and friends.
6. Memorial day was originally called ‘Decoration Day’. Also all are required to stop and 3 p.m. and remember the ones we lost.
7. Memorial Day is a great day to show all we care and are thoughtful of what others do for us and our country. This is a great day to show most of all respect for the ones who died and their family. All know this commitment is not easy and it takes a brave person to risk themselves and leave their loved ones behind. I feel as if this day was made to show support to most families and let them be aware that their pain remains amongst all others and they are far from alone. From originally being celebrated on May 30th this year it will be celebrated on that day as well. In remembrance to the ones who helped without being asked. We shall always remember even if we never personally met them. As for they gave their life for us without knowing us personally.
