Final: Part 1

1. The class has good things and some of the things are: the life planning goals, the statements because help me to understand somethings in my life and to have a purpose.

2. Somethings that I don’t like about the class are when we don’t have more work and all was boring, because always we do the same things.

3. Change the role of the class, implement new routines, made more fun the class, and watch other kinds of videos.

4. I think I began the class with the purpose of have an A in the class and always I did that, but sometimes I didn’t want do some class works.

5. I think in many goals but most of the time I don’t write, but I have enough goals that I’ m going to make reality.

6. I think that I’m committed in a CTR person because I learned how to be one and the benefits of the same and what will happen if I choose other way.

7. Always I go to remember will be how to plan my own goals and that I’m the only person that can make real my goals and I’m responsible for my success.

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”.

Thomas Carlyle

REFLECTION: I think this statement is true because in our life we must have goals to get the success and improve our lives each day and, if we don’t have goals our life will not reason to be, because the purposes don’t exist. For example when we come to the school we need have the goal to have an A in the class or be the best of the class but, if you go to the school just to sit in the chair and you can’t do the merits to study and be someone better than yesterday, that you come to the school is useless. We need have more and more goals every day to can be the best and live better.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor, than win by cheating”.

Sophocles

REFLECTION: This statement helps me to understand that t you never be a person who cheat to other, because really you are the only person that are cheating  you, first you need think if after that you win with lies you will go well with you, for example if I try to call the attention of other persons saying that I’m popular and things like these , really if they want share a friendship with me , they someday discover my lies , and go without an explanation, because I was the first liar .

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. The holiday , which is observed every year on the last Monday of May. This year the exact day will be Monday,  May 25.

Over two dozen cities and towns claim to be birthplace of Memorial Day. While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it’s difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day.

Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national’s cementers.

Annual Decorations Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the mountain areas.

On Memorial Day, the flag of the United States is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. It’s raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.

Some few ways to show honor and respect on Memorial Day are:

·         Collections for troops – Host a collection for items deployed troops need. Let customers know via email newsletters and social media – in addition to in-store signage – that you’ll be gathering items to send overseas. Check out efforts like Operation Gratitude for specifics about how you can help and what our soldiers need.

·         Discounts and free offers – Customize a special offer for those who present military ID, such as 20 percent off your product or service. If you can afford it, toss in a little something extra with a purchase.

·         Volunteering – Know a local military family in need? Round up employees to donate time and materials to help out on a project or effort. For example, says Hawkins, if there’s a need for a home renovation project and you run a hardware store, you can donate tools or building materials.

·         Highlight soldiers’ stories – Through email newsletters, Facebook or your other social media channels, pay respect to those who have fallen and express gratitude for those you know who are currently serving. Invite customers to share their stories as well. This kind of effort is great to add another personal (and memorable) touch to your business relationships. 

·         Parades – Does your town or city host a Memorial Day Parade? Many do, and they ask local businesses to sponsor floats to support the cost of the parade. This is a great way to show your support and honor service members, and it also gets your business name out there in a unique way to parade-goers or to folks watching on television. Check in with your local chamber of commerce to learn what’s happening in your area.
