Body-Mind-Spirit

Body, Mind, and Spirit. These are the aspects that help us realize what we are. The quote mentions, “Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being”-Mr. C.S. Haymore. Our teacher Mr. Haymore mentioned he was a pretty cool guy, I’ve heard that he is a really great CTR person. Anyway, It is important to realize what happens if we don’t take care of these aspects of our lives. If we want to take care of them follow these important steps. To educate your body, you must be physical and filled with movement. For Mind, we must know what is the CTR pathway, and the CTW pathway. For Spirit, we shall always be kind to others, and motivate or support people when they need help. It is very important to know what to do with your body, mind, and spirit.

Intelligence + Character

We all know Martin Luther King...I hope. On monday 01/16/17 will be a day off because of him. He mentioned a very important quote that will give us the opportunity to achieve ourselves. He mentioned, “Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education”. Martin Luther King mentioned that in order for us to learn the meaning of true education, we need intelligence and character. For example, when you do meat you don’t just put pepper, you put salt to season it to its true flavor. Such as meat, when we want to do is learn true education. We could be really smart but selfish, or real stupid but nice. What we want to achieve is true education, by being very intelligent, and a CTR character.

Courage

Richard L. Evans was a great man. He showed us a marvelous statement that will not only help you, but all of us. He mentioned, “We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and  the courage to STOP what we shouldn’t do.”. We can learn many things from this statement, but what I’ve learned is to have Courage. If we don’t have courage we won’t be able to be a CTR person, but a CTW. If you didn’t have courage you wouldn’t be able to complete assignments they assign to students. If someone is in trouble you could either walk away or help. If you decide to help you will be named a CTR person. If you aren’t capable of doing such a thing, you might as well be named a CTW. Always have Courage.

School Break Days

           Winter Break was really nice and fun. Although we stayed at our city we did many things. To start of we went to Culver City's Westfield mall around December 23rd or so. My dad didn't go to work that day they so we went and had a great time. Then every Mondays, We had the chance to play with my cousins, since they visit us usual we always do fun activities such as the Pie-Face challenge. Luckily I didn't get pie-faced. Then we went with the family to Shakey's, one of my favorite pizza parlor places =). I'm starting to think we did too many things around winter. We also went to watch a movie, SING. It was pretty funny, but I would prefer watching other cartoons. We also went to eat at a new place I've never been to, King's Buffet. Anyway, I had a great time =).
