Class Evaluation
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Some things I learned about the class is how to code different things like for example paragraphs, topics, names and many more things. I also learned to respect others and treat everyone like you would want to be treated. I also learned how to make flashcards for every class that i have. We would make the flashcards to study for a test or a final we might have in that specific topic. I also learned that I have to be a good student and in order to be a good student i have to choose the right everyday. This class has made me a better person and student.

Some things I didn't like about the class is nothing because this class is great and everything about it is great

Some recommendations for improving the class is that we need to be more 

My highlight of this class is that we got to learn how to better ourselves in every way. This class has taught be to be better and to reach the goals I set for myself. 

I think i did do my best in this class because everyday i was in the class i tried my best and I also did my work when i had to do it.

I think i read my life planning goal journal a decent amount of times. Every time i read them i get motivated to accomplish one each time.

Yes I am committed to be a CTR person because being a CTR person i get to accomplish more and learn more. Many people would start liking you and would also enjoy your company.

The 10 Keys to Personal Power 

Brian Tracy 

braintracy.com

Key 1: Clarity 

" Have vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life. Have a sense of direction and know where you're going. If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

• You have to determine what you want in your life and you also have to accomplish your goals that you set for yourself. Also is the quality of being clear in particular. You can have anything you want, if you want, if you have clear goals. Have a vision.  If you want to reach your dreams, you need to have a dream.  Where people lack in vision, they perish inside.  You’re vision needs to be big enough that excites you and others to get involved.

Key 2: Competence
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

• the ability to do something successfully or efficiently.Every successful person is excellent at what they do.Before they start, they commit themselves to becoming excellent.If you commit to excellence,opportunities will always come your way. No matter what you always have to try your hardest and try your best to accomplish whatever you started. 

Key 3: Concentration 

"make the best use of your time. Ask yourself"Is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything."

• You always have to use all your time, make the best out of it also. At times people tend to take things out of granted because they think is not worth there time or they think they have all the time but they end up doing their work last minute. Also when you are doing something make sure to do it good and correct don't just waste your time in something you are not planning to do. 

Key 4: Common Sense

Train your mind, think things through, listen to your intuition, learn from setbacks. 

• Common Sense is to have a good sense and sound judgment in practical matters.Also actions without thinking them sometimes end up in failure so every time you need to think of your every move in order to accomplish your goal. Listen to everything someone is telling you and learn because if you dont listen them you will not get what your suppose to do. You'll also need to learn for your failures when you fail always get up and try it again dont just give up.

Key 5: Creativity

"Except the fact that every human being is a genius. The hallmark of creativity is asking questions. The people who are most creative ask the most questions."

• Creativity is when you use imagination or your own ideas. It can also mean to be artistic and unique with your work. Many times people tend to ask questions just simply because they are curious and want to know everything that specific topic or just because they want to understand the topic more for they cant be confused. Being creative is a good thing because it shows who you are and how you think outside your comfort zone. 

Key 6: Consideration 

"the quality of your relationship with other people will determine your success in life."

"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator. Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."

"If you were to learn one new word a day within 5 years, you'll be the best educated person in history"

• Consideration is a careful thought. When someone gives you an idea you have to take their idea in consideration which means you have to think about it and make the decision.  Also you have to learn how to listen to peoples thoughts and ideas. Consideration determines if your going to be successful in life. This can help you develop a good skill and it makes you more aware of things. 

key 7: Consistency

"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."

"Be consistent in your relationship,your family,friends, your boss,your work. Be the person that people can depend upon. That if you'll do something you do it."

• This means the application of something.it also means that you have to have dependable work and that work has to be superior you need to get motivated and a lack of consistency can mean that your really not that interested and your not motivated. 

key 8: Commitment 

" No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."

"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."

• commitment is the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause this means that when you start something you always have to finish it. Focus on whatever your doing and dont let anyone doing way. When your doing something you awlays have to stay committed because your trying to show that you care. 

Key 9: Courage 

"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."

• Courage is the ability to do something that others wouldn't be down to do. this is a great thing because you can accomplish anything you want and this can really help you achieve those goals you have set for yourself. It is also the ability to do something that you know is difficult or even dangerous. Many times people dont have courage so they dont achieve many things because in order to achieve and accomplish what you want in life you need to have courage. 

key 10: Confidence 

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."

• Confidence is the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something. Confidence can really help you with many things like for example when your presenting in front of a class you have to be confident for you can do your presentation good and for you can get a good grade. This also means that you'll have a positive mind and never say you cant because you can. Confidence can boost up your self esteem and they way you look at things 

Reflection: 

1) The 10 keys t personal power can really help me become a better person. this has taught me a lot of things like for example being confident.

2) The key that i'm applying is to be confident that key really helped me achieve many things that i was afraid of because i always thought i wasn't good enough to do that specific assignments. This key also made me not be nervous when i'm presenting in front of the whole class.

3) I will incorporate the other keys by awlays reading them everyday for i cant forget about them and i would also try to apply each 10 keys to my everyday life. The 10 keys has made me a better person. 

personality

                                               
                                                       Personality 


  What I learned was in order to be a good person you need to have a good attitude and a good personality but in order to have those things you need to have a good reputation and let other people trust you and you have to trust others as well. He gave an example of the tip of the ice berg and this means dont judge a book by its cover because you never know how they actually are so you have to get to know them for you can see who they really are. You also need to show people that you can be trusted and be honest with them so you also have to look decent.

The Interview 

Ever since i was in middle school i always wanted to be a senior because i heard of all the fun things they get to do. They had so many activities . When i was a junior i talked to my senior friends and i asked them if senior year was the best they said it was stressful and you have to do lots of things. So ever since they told me how senior year was going to be i stared to panic and i was wondering how am i going to make it through the year like for me junior year was so stressful because we had to do this mock interview for we can already have experience for when we actually apply for a job, i was stressing it i didn't know what kind of questions they were going to ask me or how was i going to answer them. When the day came to do my interview i was asking everyone even teachers to help me practice for my interview they said i did good but i had to be more confident and less nervous they also told me to shake their hand more firmly because i was so nervous i was shaking their hand weak. So when i went to the room and they told me to sit down and wait for them to call me up. I was so nervous i started asking my friends how was the interview because there time to do the interview was before mine. they had told me that it was easy and to not worry about it and that ill do fine. So when they called me up because it was my turn i did my interview and it wasn't so bad i actually responded confidently to all the questions they had. it was a relieved when my interview was done. 

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 

Habits 1 : Be Proactive 

"Habits 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that why it comes first it says, " I am the captain of my life. i can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the divers seats of my destiny, not just a passenger." 

• You can either make your life a happy life or a not so happy one because your actions are the once that make your happiness come to life and also the way you treat other people so you have to treat other people the way you want to be treated. This also states that you need to make your life successful and to make it positive with no negativity of any sort. Also that you have full control of your future no one else can control your future unless you give them that option. Many times your parents want to control your future because they think their helping you but you cant let them do that like they already lived their life now its time to live yours. Planning your future ahead of time is better than not knowing what to do when the times comes. You choose who you want to be and set goals that you'll know you will achieve later on in your life. Also you have to solve your own problems and you can also learn from those mistakes that you might have because no one is perfect we are just simply imperfect.

Habit 2 : Begin with the End in Mind 

" Control  your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch) 

"When you know where you intend to end up , you know where you are now." (Covey)

• You have to control your own destiny because you dont want another person to make your future for you because you have your own mind and decisions. Many times people tend to do what their parents want and not what they want but there are others that have an option to be whatever they want but they dont take advantage of that. Also you need to be focused and finish what you already started like for example one of your goal.  So what ever you start you always have to finish it no matter what if you believe in yourself then you can accomplish anything you desire. When you were little they always asked you , " what do you want to be when you grow up." Every step that you take either is good or bad so think twice about everything you do. 

Habit 3: Put First Things First 
"Organize and execute around priorities."

• It means being clear about your priorities and acting on them. You always have to but you priorities first and anything else you have to put it aside and also when you start something you always have to finish it no matter the circumstances. Also it means that you have to live a more positive life and leave all the negativity aside. This statement also means that you have to plan your future ahead of time because when the time come you will not know what to do or you'll not even know where to start. Set goals that you will accomplish.

Habit 4: Think win-win 

"Think win-win or no deal."

• This means to always win and dont let anything distract you from succeeding in life and it also means that never get discourage about anything not even if the people around you dont agree with what your doing or even if they dont support you in any way you just have to continue and do your best with what you can. When you think your are going to give you just think to yourself you can do it and that would motivate you to do many things you thought you couldn't do. You should always think positive and leave any negativity that you might be thinking away get it out of your head because that negativity can really affect you in many ways. Thinking win-win can really benefit you in many ways, it can help you achieve a goal you have set for yourself. 

Habit 5 : Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood

"Diagnose before you prescribe."

• This means that you always have to communicate because that is the best skill you can ever learn. You spend most of the time reading and writing and also learning how to speak in the proper language. You have to listen to others in order for you to really understand what they are saying and for later on you can teach others what you learned. Also you have to really listen to the persons point of view not just let them speak and your no really listening to what there saying because you just want your point across. Most people just listen to reply for what there saying and not to really understand.

Habit 6: Synergize  

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts(1+1=3)"

•  This means that you have to work together in order to get something done and this the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork because as a team you can accomplish more and you can also learn new things. Working with others can benefit you in many ways and this can also be a good skill to have because in the future you can have a job that needs that type of skill and that it shows that you work well with others. This also means you work best when their others around. 

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw 

the four dimensions of self-renewal: Physical, mental,spiritual, social/emotional

• This means that you are preserving and enhancing the greatest assets that you might have and making the best out of them and you can also improve them and making some new ones and you also have to set goals and work your hardest to accomplish those goals you set for yourself this can help you accomplish anything if you set your mind into it. 

Reflection: 

• I think that the 7 habits of highly effective people would help you so much with many things and also this can make you a better person and make you succeed in your life. I also learned so much this has made me become a better person and it also helped me with many things like reaching some goals that i put for myself. this really shows how to be better than you already are not only physically but emotionally as well.

Rainy Days 

In my opinion i think cloudy rainy days are the best because you can stay in your bed all bay with a cozy blanket and you can drink hot chocolate or coffee and you can invite friends over to watch a movie or you can just simply nap the whole entire time a be lazy but in a rainy day i like to either stay in or go out. I remember when i was small i really liked when it rained because when we went to school we would stay inside somewhere warm and watch movies like during lunch because it was school and no one is going to stop teaching just because its raining but also when i was small i would love to walk home in the rain because i would splash on the poodles along the way but my parents would get mad at me because i came home soaked in water. As i grew older i still love rainy weather and my favorite season is winter because it rains but i also like summer because you can go to the beach and get a tan and also go outside and enjoy the sun but i dont like it as much as i like the winter because winter to me is just the best season.

HOW TO REMEMBER NAMES 

1. Commit 

You have to be committed to remembering peoples names and you have to keep telling yourself that you will remember their name.

2. Concentrate

Be very concentrated when your trying to learn someones name and be very focused and dont think of anything other than their name keep everything else you might be thinking aside. 

3. Repeat 

Keep repeating their name until your sure that you'll remember the name. Repetition helps engrave the name in your memory 

HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE 

Six Ways to Make People Like you. If you want people to like you....

RULE 1: Become genuinely interested in other people. 

1. "Do this and you will be welcome anywhere."

2. "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

3. " Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering." 

• Becoming interested in other people can really make a difference in how you live your life or how others will treat you. Many time people think that its better to work alone and not really be in touch with many people but that really not good because you need to socialize with people and make friends for you cant be alone later on when you need help in something. Also seeing another persons opinion is good because your not always going to be right and you will need other peoples opinions not just your owns.

RULE 2 : Smile

1.  " Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, " I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you."
2. " You dont feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile."
3. " It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersigns ( witness or indication ) of friends. "

• Smiling can bring happiness to your life and people are going to look at you and say that your a positive person because you're always happy and that you really dont have that much negativity in your life.

RULE 3 : Remember Names 

1. " A Man's Name is to him the sweetest and the most important sound in any language. "
2. "If you dont remember names, you are headed for trouble."

• Being able to remember names is a big deal to some people because that shows that you are really interested in them and that you really enjoy their presences. Remembering someones name can be a big deal to curtain people. 

RULE 4 :  Be a good Listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. 

1. "If you aspire to be a good conversationalist be an attentive listener."
2. "Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems. 

• Being a good listener is a good thing because it shows people that you are interested in what there saying and also that you actually care for what there telling you. A good listener has many benefits like they understand things more clearly because they actually pay attention to the person that's talking and also many times good listeners tend to succeed more in life than those who decide not to. 

Rule 5 : Talk in terms of the other man's interest. 

1. " The royal road to a mans heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."

• Sometimes is a good idea to talk about your feelings and everything to a persons and if you keep everything to yourself sometimes you will explode : not literally. Also i think its a good idea to always stay positive and never think negative because those negative thoughts can sometimes bring you down.

Rule 6 : Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely 

1. " The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey).'' Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic."

• Making others feel important is a good thing because when someone makes you feel important its like the best feeling ever because it shows that they really care about you. Making other people feel important can bring you more friends and more people that care about you. This also shows that you really care about what their saying or simply just caring for them in general. 

Final Reflection: i would use the six way because this is a good way for you to have a good reputation and for you

can have many friends that care for you. This can also give you a nice positive life with no negativity of any sort. you can use this everyday because you will never know if your going to meet someone new , also because you will never know when someones is watching you and judging you by the way you treat others so its always good to treat others the way you would like to be treated. The six ways has taught me so many things like for examples always care for the person and also care for what they are saying.

FREELANCE BLOG POST 

      Ever since i was in middle i always pitured high school to be like the movies where you are put in a group by the way you look or by the way you act. I was excited but scared at the same time to enter my next stage in my life which was high school the good thing was that some of my friends where going to the same school that i was going so i wasnt as scared but i was sad because i wasnt going to see some of my friends because they are going to a different school. The day of my 8th grade culmination i was so exited to finally get out of that school even though i only been in that school for a year because i got transfer to that school so for my 6th and 7th grade i went to a different school. That day was a sad day because i knew not all my friends were going with me to highschool atleast i had so many memories to look back at but of course we were still going to hang out because i dont want to lose touch with them so we decided to hang out in our summer vacation before we even entered high school. when i knew it was almost time to go back to school i was so nervous because i didnt know if i was going to have the same classes as my friends. I still remeber the first steps i took when i entered high school for the first time like it was yesterday i even remember the exact outfit i wore. Now that im a senior i realized high school wasnt so bad it was sometimes tuff but i over came that and now i am really working hard to graduate high school and start a new chapter in my life.

     One day i was walking home from school. i just knew that day was goign to be a good day so the whole time i was walking home i was in such a good mood i couldnt stop smiling my friends kept telling me why was is so happy but i just told them i was smiling just because i knew that day was going to be a good day so we went walking home but i had to say bye to my friends because we dont live next to each other. Once I got home everyone was acting weird and suspisious i asked why was everyone acting weird but they all told me the same thing that i was crazy or something but i knew for a fact that something was up but no one really wanted to tell me. So everyone was whispering to each other in the kitchen but as soon as i walked in the room everyone stopped talking and they all left. So the rest of the day i was just chilling in my room when all of a sudden my sister calls me to go to the living room when i got there my everyone was sitting down paciently i didnt know what was going on my mom said " Heres a box for you open it " my heart started to rise the whole entire time i was thinking what could be in the box so i decided to open the box then i looked down and saw it was a puppy that i always wanted i started to burst into tears like i already knew something was up. I started to thank everyone that was around me and that made my dreams come true i was so ahppy that day and i knew for a fact that day was going to be a good day i dont know i just had a feeling and my feeling was actually accurate. 

Peak Performance Principles 

  " The Six Attitudes of High Achievers "

                                                        John R. Noe
                                   

                                        " The Six of High Achievers"
                                                                 

                                                    High Achievers.....

1. Make no small plans: everyone has to make big plans in order to become successful in life there are many ways to plan big like have all you future planned out and be ready for everything that is coming your way i really think that many people should just think ahead and be ready because small planners are not really prepared for anything because they just prepare for the now not the then. Small plans really dont have any control. Make big plans aim high in hope and work never give up on anything no matter is no one is on board with you.






2. Do what they fear: everyone always have to face there fears in any possible way because if you dont face them then that fear is going to stop you from doing what you want and that fear would not in courage you to do anything. Many people fear the unknown but you need to find out what there is out there no matter how scary it might be Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear we cant realize that right now we are okay.The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.




3. Are willing to prepare: those who prepare before they do anything else are always the ones to succeed in life the others that dont decide to prepare they fall behind in whatever their doing for example when your going to take a test you have to study and be prepared for any questions that there might be in the quiz or test because if you dont prepare for a test or quiz you can actually fail that test so its better for you to be prepared and you'll always succeed.


4. Are willing to risk failure:  those that risk thing are more likely to succeed in life because they are willing to risk everything for that one thing they really want or love. Obvious to some and seemingly contradictory to others success is found by those who are willing to fail and you cant succeed unless you're willing to risk failure. There is no doubt that failure is painful and scary, but successful people always view failure as a learning process step and learning from their mistakes.The fact that we failed at something means we were trying to make something happen.


5. Are Teachable: that you are willing to listen to others thoughts and everything because no one is right at some point and the greatest thing if you want to be a great achiever is that you have to see other peoples point of view not only yours but others also and being teachable also means to be tenacious, sticking to your plans and goals as long as you need to in order to get where they want to be. If they didn’t stick with it, they wouldn’t achieve anything.


6. Have Heart : they like to help people with whatever they can and they would also feel sympathy towards that person. they are caring honest trustworthy and responsible. Everyone enjoys being around that person. Having a heart can be a huge benefit to your everyday life. you can technically achieve anything if you have a heart and could work well with others. also if you care about others and help them with there needs then someone would do it back for you because your such a good person and everyone would know that because you always find a way to help them with anything they might need.




Final Reflection: I will apply this everyday i will always be honest and trustworthy because i really want to live a successful and peaceful life and i would do whatever to become a high achiever, high achievers always tend to achieve anything there hearts desire and they would always be loved by the ones around them. These six high achievers got me motivated to accomplish my goals and to be the best that I can be.
