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 correct decisions. This one choice, the ultimate choice, is your keystone to 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!!!

Reflection: I believe what this statement is saying is that whatever choice you make will affect you in the future. If it’s good it will benefit you. Any good decision you make will help you become a better person. To be a CTR person you have to make the right choices in order to be considered one. You also have to think about the negative things that will come towards you if you choose the wrong. It’s better to live your like as a CTR person than a CTW (choosing the wrong) person.

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: I really like this quote because it makes a lot of sense. It explains how a boat needs a rubber to be guided by if not it will not move and stay still and it’s the same we use human if we don’t have a goal set in life we will not go nowhere in life. If you have a goal set in life you will know what directions to go and the good decisions you have to make to reach your goal. For example, in our class we have our life planning goals this is a big help because it lets us know what obstacles we have to go through to reach our goals in life.

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values”

Dennis Prager

Reflection: I think what he is trying to explain is that if you have good values that the best thing a person has. For example you treat other with respect you have some good values which is important about yourself. I feel like I have a lot of good values but I also feel like I have to work on some too. Without values this world would be a very terrible place. You choose your good values. Good values help you become a better person. choosing the right could also be a good value. A lot of people know what good value is but don't show it at times. for example, you think twice about doing your homework or not. but you have a lazy feeling but in your mind your thinking about the responsibility of doing your homework. 

Optician

Duties and Responsibilities: Opticians work on the front lines of vision care. They are one of the most important members of the eye care team because of the amount of direct interaction with customers. Customer loyalty is often won or lost based on how well the frame selection and eye wear fitting process goes.

Salary: $35,010 per year

Education: Because opticians are responsible for the less medically-related tasks of eye care, a high school diploma or GED equivalent is necessary, followed by either formal training or an associate’s degree in optician.

Reflection: I wouldn't really like to work as an optician. I feel like I wouldn’t really like to work as this. 

Student Success Statement

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong”

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection: I think what he is trying to say is that when you do something wrong you won’t win nothing. For example, you don’t listen to your parents when they ask you to do something then they get mad at you and you don’t win anything by doing the wrong. But in the other hand let’s say you do listen to them then they might reward you and you feel satisfied that you didn’t get in trouble.

Student Success Statement

“Dare to stand alone”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: I think what this statement means is that you should challenge yourself to do things by yourself. For example, you have to do a project and you could either do it in a group or solo. But if you get a group they are going to not do their work. So you should just dare yourself to do it alone. Sometimes doing things alone are the best you.

Forgiveness

In this video we saw that Eric Smallridge was in jail. The reason why he went to jail was because he was drinking and driving and when he was driving he crash the two girls named Megan and Lisa. Renee was really depressed she was the mother of Megan. But Renee sends a note to Eric forgiving the death of his daughter. Eric was thankful for her forgiveness but now he regrets all the mistakes he did. He also goes to schools and gives lectors of the consequences of doing drugs and driving at the same time. Eric was sentenced with 20 years in prison but since the mother of Renee forgiven him he was just in jail for 10 years. Eric is super thankful and regrets what he did.
