“ When you tell one lie, it leads to another”-Paul Hatch

I think that this means that if you tell one lie, you say another to back it up. This is the reason to not get in the habit of lying. You shouldn’t lie because you should stand up for the truth. An example of this is if you tell a lie to your parents then you tell another to back it up. Everyone should get in the habit of telling the truth.

Sting of the Scorpion

One day in the desert, little ol’ Patrick Kearon wanted to go on a journey alone. He disobeyed his parents buy wearing flip-flops instead of shoes. He paid the price by getting stung by a scorpion. He called for help and his parents rushed him to the hospital. Luckily he was OK and he learned his lesson; always obey your parents and the flip-flops aren’t shoes.

Always do right

“Always do Right” -Mark Twain

I think that this statement means that you should do the right 24/7. It doesn’t matter whether you are at your friend’s house or at school you need to always do the right.

An example of this is if you see someone drop something on the floor, the best thing to do is to pick it up for them. When you do right you feel right.

Challenges teens face today

Challenges Teens Face Today

1)  There are several challenges teens today face which include depression, bullying, sexual activity, drug use, alcohol use, obesity, and academic problems.

2) Today I am facing academic problems because I’m working on fixing my grade and depression because school is so stressful.

3)  Being a CTR person can help me feel better about myself and put me in a good mood.

4) I can help other teens with their challenges by giving them advice and teaching them to be a CTR person.

Reflection: The greatest need that teens have is the support of their family.

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. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”- President John F. Kennedy

I think this statement means that when you’re body is healthy and strong, your intelligence and skill tend to function better. Physical fitness is not only good for the body but also for the brain. JFK is saying that exercise is the best way to function creative intellectual at its peak. This is why there is so many benefits to physically staying active. When your body is healthy and strong, so is your brain. To be really smart and skillful at something, you need to be physically active.

“Kindness is the essence of greatness”-Joseph B. Wirthlin

I think that this means that if you are being kind than you are being great. I don’t fully agree with this statement because you can be an amazing basketball player but have a bad attitude. You can be great at your job but be a bossy person. I think that this statement should be changed to Practice is the essence of greatness. While I don’t really agree with this statement, I still think kindness does have a small part to being great.

Thanksgiving week

Thanksgiving Week

During Thanksgiving week, I mostly hung out with my family and went shopping. At the start of the week, my family and I had to move some stuff around the house because someone was going to paint our house. The next day, we went to the market to buy turkey and other foods for Thanksgiving. During Thanksgiving day, I watched the Dallas Cowboys defeat the Washington Redskins and go to 10-1. For Thanksgiving, my family and I ate turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The next day for Black Friday, my family and I went shopping at the mall and I bought clothes on sale. I also worked on homework for my classes.

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true do not say it;- Marcus Aurelius

I think this statement means that if you do or say something that isn’t right or true, that is not good. If you feel like hurting someone, than don’t do it. If you feel like spreading a rumor of someone that is not true, don’t say it. Your actions reflect who you are as a person. Don’t ruin your reputation by saying and doing things that are not nice. If you do that then you are only hurting yourself. You should first think about how the other person is going to feel before you do it.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving day is celebrated in Canada and the United States. It is celebrated by giving thanks and eating a big feast with the main course being turkey. It originated in Plymouth, where the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag indians shared a feast.

“ Honesty is the best policy”

“ Honesty is the best policy”

Mark Twain

This is one quote that many of you have heard many times. This quote refers to being honest and how to have an honest character. A policy is some sort of rule that you must follow. This quote is saying that honesty is always the best rule to follow. To be honest to everyone around you so that they can see the good type of person you are.  To be honest to your parents, friends, teachers, people you meet.  For example if you break something  and they ask you if you did it then you must stand up and say the truth even though there will be consequences at least you were honest. Being honest can be rewarding and can get you to places and can get you to meet new people. Being honest can not only help yourself  but can help others to.

3 magic keys of integrity

“These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity:

1. Have the courage to say no.
2. Have the courage to face the truth.
3. Do the right thing because it is right.”- W. Clement Stone

I think this statement means that if you want to live a life with integrity, you need to follow the 3 magic keys to living a life with integrity.  If someone says something that you don’t agree with, you need to have the courage to say no. You need to stand up for what’s right. You also need to have the courage to face the truth. Finally, you need to do the right thing because it is right. Do whatever you think is right and not what somebody else thinks.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Proverbs 13:20

I think that this statement means that if you walk with wise men then you yourself are going to be wise. But if you are hanging out with a companion of fools, you should be destroyed. Choose your friends wisely and don’t hang around with a bunch of fools. For example, don’t hang around with people who smoke or drink all day. You should choose friends who will help you and who are wise. This proverb tells us that the way you act is influenced by the people you hang out with. Be very aware of who that person is before calling them a friend. This proverb also tells us that if you walk with wise men then you shall be wise and be a CTR person. When you do this, other people will follow. Eventually everyone will be wise.

“Right is right,even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”- William Penn

I think this statement means that whatever you or other people think is right or wrong, doesn’t take away from what it truly should be qualified as. Even though a group of people may think something is right, it may truly be wrong. An example of this is that if all your friends think smoking pot is a right thing to do doesn’t mean it really is right. Another example of this is that if everyone is for lowering the price on drugs doesn’t make it right.

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often"- Peter Vidmar

I think that this statement means that whatever your goal is in life, you don't need to sacrifice it for what you want now. Set goals for yourself and try to accomplish them. This will pay off in the long run like it did for Peter. 

Homecoming

School Homecoming: A tradition in the U.S. that brings high schools and colleges together and it’s built around a central event, most often, a football game.

Reflection: No I am not interested in working outside the U.S. because I don’t want to leave my country.

Choosing a good name

" A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Proverbs 22:1

I think that this statement means that if you are a good person than everyone will know you as a good person and that is more important than being rich. You need to set a good example of yourself so people can know you. However if you are really rich, than you are most likely going to be selfish and greedy. An example of this is that if you win the lottery, then that will change you from a good person to a greedy person. However, if you are a good person and do good deeds, everyone will know you as a nice person and have a good name for yourself. Having a good name for yourself is more important than being rich.

“If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know is wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.”

-Thomas S. Monson

I believe that this statement means that if your friends tell you to do something that you know isn’t good, you should not do it. Just because they’re your friends doesn’t mean you should listen to them. If you stand for right you will be the light for others to follow. An example of this is that if your friend told you to do drugs, you should think twice and say “no” because it’s the right thing to do. Even if you’re only the one making that decision, eventually others will follow.

"Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get."- Mark " Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get." 

Mark Victor Hansen 

What i think this quote is trying to say is that if you set your goal, eventually you will achieve them. If you have a goal and you have a plan then there is nothing to stop you. If you create a foundation for your goal ultimately you will end up reaching it. Set a goal for yourself and if you keep working at it then you will be successful.
An example is that if you set a goal for yourself you will find that
you will eventually get there. You just have to work hard and not fool around.  Don't let anybody stop you of your goal.

"When Obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irration; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block."- James E. Faust 

I think that this statement means that if you obey evey law, then you will build up your main 

 goal in life. If everyone is obedient then everyone will have an amazing life. Choosing the wrong 

will only have a bad affect.

"Try your best and you will succssed"

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy."- David Bednar

I think that this statement is true on many occasions. First, this statement means that being obedient 

is the bullseye you should aim for in life. With obedience, you can always be a happy person no matter what. Without it you will no longer have happiness in life. An example of this is that if you 

are always a truthful person, you will feel happy with yourself. But if you are a malicious person then you will feel bad.

"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player"- John Wooden

I think that this statement means that there is more to you being a better person than being 

a good basketball player. You might be a good baketball player, but that doesn't mean that

you are a good person on the outside. John Wooden's passion was basketball but being a
