Student Success Statement 

"Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education."
Martin Luther King Jr.


Reflection: This quote by our very own Martin Luther King Jr. means that true education gives you intelligence but it also gives you character, character to be who you are and to stand for it. Intelligence is an important quality but so is your character because it defines who you are specifically. Intelligence is what you can get from books or from others but character is the way you react in certain situations for example if you were to be failing a class, you could either choose you do not care or you can choose to bring that grade up.

New Media

New Media Evaluation

A. What I liked about this class was the fast that we got to research and learn about different medical careers and how we did student success statements which taught us many valuable lessons. One thing I did not like about the class was having to do the say typing tutor for 15 minutes, it honestly got boring and quite frustrating after a while.

B. To improve the class you could teach us more about how to use computers and how they work and all the different programs they use. It would be nice to know a bit more about computers and how if something goes wrong I would know how to fix it. 

C. I personally think I did my best in this class. I did everything I was supposed to do and I really tried to improve my typing skills.

D. Yes I have been reading my life planning 100+ goals daily for two minutes because doing it in class has showed me how important it is to remember your goals and figure out ways on how to achieve them.

E. I have tried my best on being a CTR person. I have to admit there are still sometimes when my lazy side takes over and I get tempted to not do anything but I know  that is not right because there are things that I must take care of like school. 

F. To take responsibility for my Body-Mind-Spirit by promising to keep myself healthy and active, study hard to keep my mind sharp, and to always see the new day with a positive mind. 

IDP

Interdisciplinary Project 

   We had been working for at least a month in our English class to prepare for our showcase night. For the IDP we were put into groups and given a topic to create a debate about. My group mates and I received the topic of Hepatitis. In our English class we were supposed to write and essay. create a poster and make a PowerPoint to show during our showcase with information of our topic. Our group worked very hard to accomplish what was needed. The IDP also counted as a grade in the rest of our classes as we were supposed to find research, conduct surveys, and make graphs about things that related to our topic. On December 11, every group was supposes to present and my group was given the time of 5:30 in room 213. During the showcase, we were to present in front of a panel that consisted of a teacher, a medical worker and a parent. We also had to dress up professionally. For the showcase, each group member had something they had to say about the topic.We were being judged on our PowerPoint, information, our professionalism, and our entire presentation as a group as well as given individual grades. When it came to the time for my group to present, I began to get very nervous thinking I would forget what I had to say or something else would go wrong. Once inside the room I began to feel better only because I saw there were only 5 people going to watch us present. In total it took my group five minutes to present ourselves and out topic. We answered any questions the panel had and we were then able to go home; the scare being over. None of my group members messed up, as in forgot their lines, but we did very well.My group did a lot better than we all expected.

Student Success Statement

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: This quote made by the 16th president of the United States is very accurate. When I do something good for someone else, or myself, I feel good for what I have done and Accomplished. For example, if I were to get caught doing something bad, instead of lying about it I would tell the truth because I know that would make me feel better. When I do something bad, obviously I feel bad. I very much doubt that someone would feel goo about causing malice. For example, if I were have to lie to get myself out of something, I would feel very bad about not being truthful to those who i had lied to.
