"When you tell one lie, it leads to another"
-Paul Hatch
Reflection: What this quote is saying is that when you say a lie it leads to the habit of saying another and another. I do agree somewhat with this quote. But let's remember that we are all different human beings and we are all capable of doing things that another being may have trouble with. There may be humans that can lie and be able to control themselves and gain the ability to not say another.
Example: Little kids may be the ones that tend to lie more often than human adults. When they do something bad like break a glass or not do their home work they will tend to lie and make an excuse or plan it on somebody else. They might whine and complain their "doings" on another classmates. It's true that lying may turn to a habit and a really bad one. Most places wouldn't like a liar working for them. Of course, sometimes you can't help but lie. But remember a lie is always a lie.
SCHOOL BREAK DAYS
A. What I did?
-In the first week, I helped my mom with the chores and taking care of my little brothers when she wasn't around. When it was Christmas my brother got an Xbox and my little brother got a guitar. In the second week, New Years came and my cousins came to cerebrate. On the third week my grandparents came for the first time, my aunt from Arizona came also for a day since she brought them. It was so much fun. We went to downtown and bought tons of things.
C. People I met?
-Well I met my grandparents again, since the last time I saw them was when I was 3. I also saw my cousin which I haven't seen since. 
  F. CTR experiences?
-I helped my mom with the chores, helped her take care of my little brothers, I helped my grandma, did my bed, made breakfast for my brothers, and I helped my brother do his homework. 
H. Did I have any homework?
-The only homework I had was to enjoy my break. Which I did! So it was pretty easy.

(Final Part 1 of 2)
 Class/Self Evaluation
 A. What I liked from this class was that I met some wonderful people. I also liked fixing my blog and making it nicer than before. I liked how the class was warm and focused on being a good person. What I didn't like from this class is that it focused more on being a nice person and doing right things. It didn't really much focus on computers.
B. Maybe instead of always focusing on students "choosing the right" we can learn about computers, like the history where they came from. Or we can learn more about how to do stuff like "how to add a table" etc. 
3. Did I really do my best? Yes, I did. I actually did my work and focused only on my work and not just talking to my friends. I actually did write 10 sentences every time when I needed too.
4. Am I committed to being a CTR person? Why yes I am. Being a good person can or will give me a good record that can help me go to a good collage. Being a good person will bring me good things in life.

IDP Showcase.
My IDP was good. I was nervous at the start when presenting but I had gotten over it as time moved on.  My IDP topic was about Cirrhosis. My part was to do the treatments and cure, the introduction, and to read the graph. I learned that Cirrhosis is a very bad disease and can kill many. I learned how to avoid getting cirrhosis. I plan to use this as a step to follow my goal of being a doctor.(That's if I don't change my mind.)
"Always do right"
                                                           -Mark Twain
Reflection: What this quote is saying is to chose the right. Do the good things in life and have a rightful life. Following rules can earn you freedom which is something we all want. And something we all don't have.
Example. An example of this is that, let's say you have a big test to do. This test is what determines your grade. Most people would most likely get stressed out. And what is a good way to reveal stress? Usually by having a good time. As kids having a good time can be by playing tag, but as we grow older our "fun" changes. Most adults drink to let their stress flow away. But if you're drinking you can't study for the test can you? You'll likely fail. And so will your future. I'd say that studying for the test and passing it is way better than going off drinking and later on earning a bad future.

"If we do what's right, we have no need to fear"
                                                                        -Evan Stephens
Reflection: What this quote is saying that there is no need to fear something when you're doing everything right. Just like everyone quote we do, it involves doing something right. 
Example: If you do homework, there is no need to be scared. Scared of your parents taking your phone or iPod. If you do everything you're supposed to do, you'll be happy. With no fear. Like every quote we do it has to be about someone doing the right. If i get good grades, there's no need for me to get scared that my mom will take my phone. But this quote isn't just talking about overall getting good grades. No, it's also talking about being good to people. Like helping others.

"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?
If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail."
Reflection: What this quote is saying is that if you are a trustworthy person then you can never fail. Being trustworthy you can earn the trust of others, and earning the trust of others, those other people can help you when you're at the edge of failing. They'll be the people to help you and give you a boost. But of course, there can be other ways someone can succeed and be the most malicious person on earth. For example, we have Hitler. A man who treated the Jewish people like if they were nothing. While meanwhile, some people viewed Hitler to be some kind of hero. He treated the Jews horrible, he made them suffer. I'm sure he wasn't treating the Jews the way he wanted to be treated. There's many other reasons how a person succeed without getting a yes to all these questions. So I personally disagree with this quote.

I don't know.
