School Break Days

In my winter break i did so many things first i went to the movies with my friends the movie was called "why him" that movie was funny after the movie was over my friends and I went to go eat at this restaurant called T.G.I Fridays we ate a lot of food because we didn't really eat that day and also because we didn't buy any food from the movie theater. Some days i felt like just staying home and do nothing even though many of my friends kept inviting me to places. Throughout my winter break i didn't really meet anyone new. One of the sports i played was volleyball i went to the park and played with my family and friends. My CTR experience was when I help someone that was lost and was looking for the right directions to go. I didn't really do any homework because most of my teachers didn't give me homework to do over the break. In my break i also went ice skating i fell so many times because i wasn't use to skating on ice that was my second time skating on ice because the first time was when i went with all the seniors. 

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.

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.
