"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder"

-Thomas Carlyle

This is a quote made by Thomas and I can agree with it. What he says is that if we have no goals, we will not achieve anything. Just like a ship needs a rudder in order to be navigated. No rudder= no destination, No goals=no achievemnt. If you have goals then you will have something to go after and achieve it. If you have no rudder, then how is the ship going to move. Theres many positive things that come from having goals. Achieve your goals by writing them down and you will be guaranteed happieness. Have a rudder for the ship and you will get somewhere. If you have no goals you won't get anywhere just like if you have no rudder on a ship, you won't get anywhere. Just have some goals. it's that easy. One with goals will be the one to achieve. One whomst has no goals will not succeed. 

Memorial Day Weekend

What I did for the weekend was just hang out and do my homework.  On Friday I went to go eat in n out with my friends and then we went to the movies to go watch Pirates of the Carribean movie and it was a good time. Then on saturday I didn't really do anything besides just go to my friends house and play ps4 all day. Then on sunday, me and my friends went to downtown LA just to chill and we had a good expirience. Then on monday, I was doing all my homework and it was very boring and stressfull. Overall my weekend was whatever honestly. Finals are coming up and it's just building up stress on me. If I did not have homework then my weekend would've been way better and less stressfull.

"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive"
-Alan Peterson

This is a quote made by Alan and I can somewhat agree with this. It is bad to hold grudges and it is actually good to forgive but it depends on the situation. Holding grudges can build up more stress on you at times. There are certain situations in which you should forgive if it was a small situation. It is also important for people to apologize to you. If they don't apologize then what is the point of forgiving. It all depnds on the person and how they are. Some people will forgive you and others don't. The smart thing to do is to not CTW in the first place. If you chose the right, then none of this would ever happen. CTR and you will be good.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day in which we remember and commerate those who died in active military service. Memorial Day is celebrated on Monday 5 May 30. Some ways to show honor and respect on memorial day is by doing the pledge of alliagence, or just appreciating and giving thanks to what they have done. An interesting fact is that it didn't become a federal holiday until 1971. Some things I will do on memorial day is be appreciative of what they have done for our nation. Memorial Day is a great holiday that pays respect to those who served in the military. It is somewhat like veterans day. This is a good day to say thanks to those even though we should be thankful all the time. It is very special to some families since they might have family members who were in the army. Overall this is a good holiday and it is very special.

"Dare to do right"
- Rex D Pinegar

This is a quote by Rex and I agree with it. The only dares we should be doing is the good ones. This dare right here is a good one. Rex is daring us to do right. Is that a dare we are all capable of? Of course it is and if everyone does this dare we will all be CTR people. Daring to do right is basicallt choosing the right. The only thing is that we shouldn't be dared to do it since we should be already choosing the right with out any one telling us to do so. We should choose the right at all times. One way to choose the right is respecting women. Another way of choosing the right is treat others the way you want to be treated. This is a great statement and I believe everyone will pass this dare.

"Dare to Stand alone"
-Thomas S. Monson

This is a quote made by Thomas S. Monsona and I can agree with it. Not everyone will agree with you. and not everyone is right but there is choosing the right. When you know what choosing the right is and your friends don't know, prepare to stand alone. If you stand alone and seperate yourself from the wrong crowd then you are choosing the right. It is better to be alone than to be with the wrong crowd and do CTW things. Right is right even when everyone is against it. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. Stand alone, it will not harm you, it will benfit you and put you on the right side. If you are with the wrong crowd then you are on the bad path. Being on the bad path is bad and no one should be apart of it. Stand alone and you will choose the right.

Favorite Rapper: Travis Scott

Favorite Rapper: Travis Scott

I chose this topic because I didn't know what else to write about. Travis Scott is a rapper from Houston Texas born on April 30 1992. His real name is Jacques Webster but is better known as his stage name Travis Scott. He is my favorite rapper since his rap style is very dope. He uses autotune occasionally but it goes very well with his production. It's almost as if his voice is an instrament. Travis Scott has 4 major projects. Owl Pharoah is his first major mixtape to be released and it had some cool songs in there like Quintina, Upper Echelon, Hell of a night, MIA and many more. Around this time he made it to XXL freshman 2013. He gained more publicity as he got co-signed to Kanye West's record label G.O.O.D music as a producer. Travis Scott's next mixtape was Days Before Rodeo which many say is his best work but in my opinion it isn't It's great and has many good songs like Don't play, mamacita, skyfall. drugs you should try it and many more. His next project is his first debut album "Rodeo" which is in my opinion his best work. It has many great songs like 90210, 3500, Pray 4 love, Oh my dis side and many more. His first hit single Antidote was the song that blew him up into the mainstream and now everyone knows who he is. His next album would be Birds in the trap sing mcknight which is a very good album but not as good as his past work. He has then released many singles like A man, butterfly effect, and Green and Purple. It is rumoured to release 2 albums in 2017. One being a collab album with Quavo and the other being his 3rd album Astroworld. He is very dope and my favorite song by him is 90210 and it is my favorite song of all time. I'm hoping to see him in concert one day since all his hows are lit.

"If I've got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed"
-Dan Dierdorf

This is a quote made by Dan Dierdorf and I can agree with it. What this quote means is that you should have the right goals and that these goals will lead you to a successful life. Having good goals will make you work harder for what you are trying to achieve. Good goals will be accomplished only if you truly want them to be achieved. Dan is a professional football player who got indeucted into the NFL hall of fame. He probably wrote down all these goals and he worked very hard and look at him now. He truly achived his goals by writing them down and he achieved them. He is on the rigth path and everyone should be like this. We should all write down goals and we will achieve our goals as well. If you have goals, then you will succeed.

Phillip Riggs' Four Success Tips
1) Work Hard
2) Follow your passion. Do things you are interested in doing
3) Don't chase after money

These are the 4 tips to success according to Phillip Riggs and I agree with them. The first one is to work hard. Working hard is key to being successful. Being successful isn't easy so you should start working very hard since it will be worth it later in the future. The next tip is to follow your passion. Following your passion will make you go into the right path. This will encourage you even more which will make you work harder for that. The third tip is to not chase money. Money is what we all want but first comes your work and responsibilties. This will all pay off soon once you are successful and more money will come in. The last tip is to serve others.

Student Success Statement #68

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing"
-Theodore Roosevelt

This is a quote by Theodore Roosevelt and I can agree with this. Choosing the right at any time is acceptable since it's choosing the right. You are able to choose the right whenever you need to. Choosing the right has no limits to it. On the other hand you have choosing the wrong which is completly unaccpetable at all times. You shouldn't be choosing the wrong and choosing the right is what you should do. In any given situation just remember that choosing the right is the best thing to do. 

Student Success Statement #67

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong"
-Wilford Woodruff

This is a quote made by Wilford and I can agree with it. What this quote means is that you will gain nothing from doing whats wrong. So if you gain nothing, then why do you do it. It doesn't make sense to choose the wrong since you gain literally nothing. However if you choose the right then you will gain something. That being trust, and happieness to others. That is a wonderful thing and we should all be able to choose the rigth instead of choosing the wrong. Choosing the worng will make you look bad and it;s just horrible for anyone to choose the rigth. Always choose the right and avoid choosing the wrong since CTW will bring you nothing.

"It's A GREAT MOMENT when someone has the character to step up and do the right thing at the right time"
-Pam Knox

This is a quote made by Pam Knox and I agree with it. When people are choosing the wrong, there should always be a person there to step up and make them choose the right. Imagine how that would be, everyone would be CTR. Choosing the right at the right time which is all the time is good especially when you are stepping up for someone. Now that is a good friend right there. You need these type of people in  this world
so they can not only help you but help the world and themselves.

Student Success Statement #65

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor'. I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground. There is a possibility that in some way or another I may be able to escape. But stand me on that floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No. Never! I'd die first"

-Karl G. Maesar

This is a quote made by Karl and I can agree with him on this quote. You can never walk out a line that has your honor in it. If you cross the line then you will go back on your word and it is basically going to be lying. Never go back on your word and always stay true to it. He says that it's easier and is possible to get out of a cell faster than that circle. Eventually he will escape the prison cell, no matter what is blocking him or how hard it is. On the other hand though, he can not even take a step outside the circle. He stays in the circle to show that he stays true to his word and has honor in himself. He is an honorable person and it would be an honor to be in the circle of honor even if it means if you're there forever.
