CTR project

Class Evaluation

1. What I liked about this class is that it is so quiet. It relaxes me and this class is easy to me so I have no problem with the work.
2. What I did not like was typing tutor but luckily I found a game that I liked and it helped my typing skills to improve.
3. I honestly think this class is okay the way it is and I think it doesn't need any improvements. This class is a peaceful environment and I think that it should stay that way.
4. Yes, in my life planning goals journal I write all the goals I want to achieve that are good for me and I write about how my day is. Some days I have bad days and when I do I write a small piece of advice for me to follow, so when I have a bad day I usually go back and read it so I feel better.
5. Yes, I am committed to being a CTR person because I noticed that when I do small things that help others, I feel good about myself. I think it is important because it creates peace between humanity.
6. What I learned is that if you really want to show you have a good heart to always remember actions count more than word, and that your actions show who you are as a person.
7. What I will always remember are the student success statements. Not only because we did them every day but because each of those statements taught me something and each of those quotes changed the way I think. They helped me to be more caring and to see the world in a positive way not negative.

Thomas Carlyle

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

When you have a goal you run after it and you have a purpose because you know what you are trying to reach. When you don't have a goal you have nothing to run/fight for so you stay still and wonder what you are supposed to do. It really is like a ship without a rudder. With no rudder, the ship has no use and the ship drifts. The wind takes it wherever. A person with no goal is like that as well. If they don't have a goal they have nothing to pursue and they wait till the wind comes and takes them away. It is good to have a goal, even if it's a small one, it keeps you centered and concentrated. WhatI mean that it keeps you centered is that it keeps you focused and it's your anchor, it is what keeps the wind away from carrying you somewhere you don't belong.

Trauma Nurse

Duties and Responsibilities: They educate the public and other professionals about trauma. They are usually placed in ED and are the first to respond when a patient has self-inflicted injuries or if they suffered a violent crime/accident. Their goal is to be able to stabilize their patient and help them survive with the best possible outcome. To be a trauma nurse you must be an expert to working under extreme pressure and learning how to multitask quickly.

Education: A bachelor's degree and about 1000 hours of experience

Salary: $68,450 per year

Reflection: I would not like to be a trauma nurse because even though his job is extremely important, I don't think I would be able to work well under so much pressure that if you do something wrong my patient could die. I want to be able to help the public but my fear with this job is that I won't be able to help the patient and they will die on me. I would feel as if it were my fault.

Hilary Salazar

"Doing the right thing may not have rewards like money but the biggest reward is the satisfaction of knowing you were able to do something right."

Since this is my quote it will be easier for me to explain. What I mean to say is when you help someone out, you will not always get a reward like money or something that is material. The reward you will get that many overlook is the feeling that you did something right. Many times we can do the right thing but we prefer to do the wrong thing because supposedly it has better "rewards" but in reality, those rewards are consequences hiding behind a mask. Maybe it is just me but when I do something right that benefits other, not only me, I feel good I feel the satisfaction that I did all I could to do something right. I didn't just keep walking or ignoring it. When you do the right thing sometimes you get a material reward but in my opinion, you shouldn't expect a reward. Being selfless is thinking of others and putting yourself aside, but if you do the right thing to get something out of it, there is no point in you doing it. You shouldn't expect nothing in return for doing the right thing.

Memorial Day

Memorial day is celebrated every last Monday of the month of May. Memorial day was born in Waterloo, New York, that is where the first memorial day occurred but many believe it started before then. People would visit the graveyards of their fallen soldiers. Memorial day is also known as Decoration Day. By 1890 All the Northern states celebrated this day but it wasn't until after World War 1 the Southern states celebrated this on the same day. Memorial day started after the civil war. The civil war was the biggest conflict in U.S  history that killed many soldiers on the field. A family would gather at their graves and decorate it with flowers, they would also make meals and have family gatherings in honor of the soldier they lost. In 1971 it was declared a federal holiday. For this memorial day, I plan to spend time with my family.

Reflection:  A way I can honor those who have fallen fighting in the army is to thank them and remember them. Even if I don't know them personally I plan to be respectful and just remember all the sacrifices they made to keep me and this country safe. I think it is a great holiday because yeah I get the day off school but it's great because we learn so much about what really goes on I the battlefield and we celebrate those who have died to keep u safe. We may not know those who have died personally but in my opinion, I am thankful that they did what they did even if it cost them their life because they are doing the right thing which is keeping their country safe.

Chinese Proverb

If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. I there is harmony in the home there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world. If there is beauty in character, then there will be peace in the world.

I agree with this proverb because many want peace in the world but we can't have peace if you are a person who has a nasty character. Many people in this world become consumed by hate because someone has hurt them before and when this hate consumes a person, hate crimes occur. If a person meets another with beauty in their character they will feel happy and see the good in the world. I would know because I have met many with great souls and many who have only hate. It may seem cliche but with no love, there will always be violence. If we don't have the love for each other, then humanity will have no love and we would be consumed with hate and grudges, when this happens then we ourselves will be the end to humanity. We can't have peace if we can't love others for who they are and put our differences aside. None of the things that could happen in this quote will happen if we don't change our characters.
