Student Success Statement

           A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity
"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (Poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it"
                                                              - Dr. Ben Carson

I don't agree with this statement by Dr. Ben Carson. Poverty is not a choice because not everyone has the opportunity to change it as he did. Some people work their hardest to be able to get out of poverty. Yes, there are ways to "get out" such as going to college and getting a good career with a good salary. The thing we don't think about is how they are going to be able to afford college, yes there are loans but that just makes them in debt that will only add on to their poverty. I just don't think his choice of words in the statement is right and I think he should have worded it differently. Some people in other countries are really poor and aren't able to go to school because of a lack of money and have to work from a young age. So his statement is wrong poverty is not a choice. 

Enthusiasm

                            "Enthusiasm makes the difference" -Dr. Norman Vincent Peale 

I personally agree with this statement, and we should think about it every time we do something. Being enthusiastic and putting energy in your work really does make a difference and it shows. You are obviously going to do better in something you are excited to do.

Class Evaluation

1.) What I liked about this class is that we got to learn about a different career everyday.Another thing i liked is that we had time outs so we can have a little break while Mr.Haymore talked.The last thing i liked was how he taught us how to create our own sort of website in google sites.
2.) The only thing that i did not like about this class was that if we forgot our life planning goals we lost a lot of points for it. That was probably the only thing i disliked about the class.
3.)The only recommendation i have for improving this class is that we shouldn't do student success statements everyday because sometimes we run out of things to write about.
4.) I don't really read my life planning goals journal everyday out of school for 5 minutes. The reason i don't do this everyday is because i forget it in my locker and can't get it till the next day.
5.) I am not always committed to being a CTR but most of the time i try to choose the right. I think before making any decisions so i can make the right one.
6.) Something i learned in this class that can help others is i can  help them crate a blogger or use certain websites people don't use on the daily.
7.) Something I will always remember about this class is the songs Mr.Haymore always played
