Evalutaion

C. I believe that I had those days that I wouldn't try as I hard as I normally did but I did really try.

Interdisciplinary Project

When I found out we were doing the interdisciplinary project I was a bit disappointed because I never enjoyed it out of the two semesters we had done it previously. We started off by being put into groups. I was grouped with Eric, Desteny, Isaac, and Verenice. Together we picked the topic Hemophilia. As a group we decided the the essential question and thesis. With all that set we then wrote an essay that I edited and used the essay as the backbone to our power point for the actual presentation. We spent very little time on our interdisciplinary in our classes except for English which took up a lot of learning time. They day of the presentation I felt like I wasn't prepared at all because of my nervousness. I found myself forgetting everything that was on my power point so I had to read my power point a few times to get it right. The presentation was overall more simple than I thought it would be. It was only about five minutes and once I was up in the room doing the actual presentation my nervousness drained. I thought it was very helpful that my mother was there and I wasn't the only one nervous. If I were to do this all over again I wouldn't  be as nervous because I know what to expect and it was easier than everyone made it seem.

There were many good things about this project and bad things.

Pros:

1. It provided us with an example to how a professional presentation with future employers might be. 
2. We were evaluated by real professionals to tell us how we did
3. Taught us how to work with people we are not used to working with
4. It gave people the opportunity to improve their grades in their core classes

Cons:

1. We spent too much class time on this project when we could have learned
2. It was too close to finals 
3. It was too stressful

Student Success Statement: Abraham Lincoln

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

I definitely agree with this because I am like this constantly. Whenever I do something I know I shouldn't do I always feel horrible right afterward. However when I do something good I feel that sense of accomplishment right afterward. For example there was a homeless woman that lived near my house. She couldn't get her cart filled with her belongings up the street so I decided to help her. She thanked me and even offered me money but I decided not to take it because she needed it more than me. An example of a bad is like when one time I screamed at my brother. He felt really hurt and started to cry. I felt really bad because I didn't know it would make him feel bad.

You Are in Charge

Student Success Statement: Mr. Haymore

"Take responsibility for your own body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being."

This quote means exactly what it says, being in charge of yourself. An example of being responsible for your body is knowing when to say no to someone who continues to make advances towards you. Taking responsibility for your mind can be making your own decisions and having your own ideas.  Being responsible for your spirit can be when you don't let people kill your vibe.

Student Success Statement: Richard L. Evans

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do."

I agree with this because people are usually afraid of doing these things. In a TV show called "What Would You Do" the main point is to show situations in which the public should step forward and stop bad deeds being done by actors. Most of the time people do not step forward but when they do they are interviewed. From these interviews you can see that all those who stepped forward are kind and brave people, willing to save those who need help the most. This is the type of courage needed to do something that should be done. An example of something we shouldn't do is anything people peer pressure you into. If you know it's wrong why even think about it.

The Sting of a Scorpian

One day a boy named Patrick, who was about seven, decided to not listen to his parents who had told him many times before that you must wear shoes when walking to avoid dangers such as scorpions thorns and snakes. Instead of putting on on shoes he put on flip flops because he thought it would be just as safe. As he walked around a trail he felt the sting similar to a thorn but when he looked down he saw a scorpion. He yelled for help and his parents took him to the hospital found out he would be fine. He thought he was going to die so after that day he never disregarded his parents again.

Student Success Statement: Mark Twain

"Always do right."

As short as this quote is it is a quote that people should apply to their lives. This quote means exactly what it says which is basically do what is correct. Twain, who is also known as the father of American literature, had summarized what most people explain in a paragraph length quote.

When You Tell One Lie it Leads to Another

When you tell one lie, it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,
You're in trouble up to your ears!
So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
A life filled with worries and fear
'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told
And half the things you say aren't true
And sometimes you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then
Whatever will become of you?
So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good

Student Success Statement: Paul Hatch

"When you tell one lie, it leads to another."
This is very true because most people like myself have lived through this. You one lie and you have to make more to cover them all up. A good example of this is lying about the sick grandmother. If you use that bit the next thing you know they are going to be asking about that grandmother and you'll have to say another lie. It will probably conclude with the truth coming out and you looking like a fool. This is why I believe that one should never lie and that we should listen to this quote even when we are just going to tell a fib.

Student Success Statement: Lou Holtz

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 treated?

"If the answer to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail."
I can answer yes to all these questions. I believe that these questions can help you through life but is not an assurance that you will succeed. These questions do help me a lot because I know that I have a possibility of succeeding. The big question here is 'AM I committed to doing my very best?' because if you can't do your best and you're turning in mediocre work you will have a mediocre life.

Physical Fitness
"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

This quote means that you can only do your best in school when you are physically healthy. You can do your best mentally when you are at your best physically. I agree with this a lot because I used to be really fit when I was younger but as soon as I got a computer I stopped excising and that was when my grades started dropping.
