Student Success Statement

                                   "Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy."
                                                                                                -David A. Bednar

Reflection: This can be questioned. Obedience involves performing an action under the orders of an authority figure. It differs from compliance, which involves changing your behavior at the request of another person, and conformity, which involves altering your behavior in order to go along with the rest of the group. Instead, obedience involves altering your behavior because a figure of authority has told you to. The authority figure may not be always right so we also have to be self aware and not blindly obey someone.

Progress Post

I've recently found my old notebook which had different goals! I decided to add the goals that i never managed to completed to my new notebook. I have 354 goals so far and managed to complete 127. I always continue to write new goals for myself, usually to explore and try new things. I plan to take my goal notebook to college and try to complete most them during my studies. I'll can try to read my goals daily but knowing myself, I'll forget a day or two. Nevertheless, I'll always complete at least one goal a day.

Class Reflection

1. What did you like best about this class
One thing I really enjoyed was learning more about Microsoft office and its programs. I had the opportunity to further master my skills in word, power point, and excel. I know it'll be something that'll be useful in the future for a career.

2. What did you dislike about this class?
One thing that i really disliked about the class were usually the assignments. The assignment, such as researching a medical career, was perfectly fine at first but it became repetitive. The repetition of posting became too much of a routine and that's what made many of the students lose their interest in the class.

3. What can you recommend to improve the class?
Possibly a variety of different assignments that involve the use of computers. Assignments that involve the programs we've learned about, or a typing test/competition to further motivate students to do their work and master their typing skills.

4. What will you always remember about this class?
I'll probably remember Mr. Haymore's motto, "choose the right!". It was something he would say everyday and it grew on me.
