Reflection

“Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy.”

      David A. Bednar

Reflection:

what I believe this quote means is that obedience is not only just the key to success, but it is also the key to making yourself a better person. Being obedient and doing the right thing will take you very far in life. Never give up and always keep trying, even when you fail because failure is a part of success. If you don’t fail you won’t try harder, and if you don’t try harder you won’t make yourself a better person. So never give up, stand up and try harder. Be obedient and choose the right. ;)

Progress report over my goals

I am still working on trying to accomplish as many goals as I possibly can. I have started to accomplish a few goals from my life planning notebook. I believe I am doing perfectly fine right now, I could honestly be doing better but I will try to improve. I need to commit myself to accomplishing 75% of my goals by the end of my high school years, and to read and review my goals for at least two minutes each and every day. 

Class Reflection

1. what did you like best about this class?

What I liked best of my new media class was learning new careers and their duties, responsibilities, salary, and educational requirements. I really enjoyed learning a new career every day, I enjoyed researching careers in the medical field.

2. what did you dislike about this class?

Honestly there’s nothing I disliked about this class, I had a very good school year. And so far I can say I really enjoyed being in this classroom and it sure was a pleasure to have been here this school year. J

3. what can you recommend to improve the class?

The only thing I could honestly say to as my recommendation would be getting a bit more time to do the researches over the topic we were assigned. We were given a good amount of time, but it honestly sometimes wasn’t very enough.

4 what will you always remember about this class?

What I will always remember about this class is that you should always choose the right because doing what is right, will always be the right thing to do, regardless if others are against it. Another thing that I will always remember about this class is that you should never stop until you reach your goals! J

“Attitude is the mind’s paintbrush. It can color any situation.”

Anonymous

Reflection: 

your attitude defines the way you see things in either a good or bad way, it’s up to you whether you decide to stay positive and look at the bright side of everything, or you want to stay negative and think of everything from the dark side. Having a positive attitude towards yourself and others will make you a better person. Only you can decide to paint your situation the color you want. From dark to bright, or from bright to dark. No one but yourself has control over that.

Example: looking at homework from a good attitude, you’ll notice it’ll help you not only understand better but do better. On the other hand if you look at it from a bad attitude, you’ll believe that homework is just a waste of time and you’re not learning anything from it. So it’s really just up to you how you want to see things.

“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

A Proverb

Reflection: sometimes in life it’s always better to be alone than to be around the wrong group of people. What is popular is not always right, and what is right is not always popular. (;   Being around bad influence is most likely going to influence you into doing something that is not right, unlike if you’re around a group of people that worry about their future and actually try to reach their goals. Be someone positive in life, don’t ever let the negativity get to you. Be smarter than that, always do what right and never give up on your goals or dreams because you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. J !

Student Success Statement

“You can’t hire someone else to do your pushups for you.”

Jim Rohn

Reflection: you can’t have others accomplish YOUR goals, they’re your goals for a reason. They are there for YOU to accomplish them not others. You always have to stand for yourself in order to get far, because in life there’s always going to be someone better, but that’s only if you allow yourself to fail. Nothing is too difficult, always set your mind to accomplishing your goals and never stop until you have reached them. But never depend on others, because at the end its always going to just be you for your own self.

example: taking a test knowing you didnt study, you're most likely to copy off someone else, but you know thats not right. its always better to take it yourself than copy of someone else. (x
