An internal phenomenon

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem." - Dr. Laura Schlessinger 

In my interpretation of this quote from Dr. Laura Schlessinger, she implies that we should all do what
's right and what are the steps that follow. For instance, in order to become anything you will have to follow the regulations and the steps into it, in this case, a CTR person. She states that to become a CTR person you will need to have self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem. THese all play key roles in an internal phenomenon. If you were to follow the key roles then you will lead to success and minor failures along the way. Because not everyone is perfect. Listen to her and to your fellow colleagues on how you can become an internal phenomenon even in the smallest areas.

"Being a c-t-r person isn't always easy, but it's the best person you can be."-Diana Beltran

In my opinion, the idea of being a C-T-R person is basically what she says. You can't change the thinking of what a ctr person is, some things aren't possible to change. For instance, when you go to your teacher's classroom you politely ask them permission to enter the classroom or you ask them if you may speak with them. These examples, are a perfect way to demonstrate the fact that you can always show and display respect to others. You don't have to do it but it would and can be something you look forward to achieving and keeping a habit of it.just like becoming a ctr student it would be nice to be one and if your not one. You could make that your goal to achieve.At the end of the day do what you think is best and can sooner or later become the best person you can be.

"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 might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk-like around me and have me give MY WORD OF HONOR never to cross it. CAN I GET OUT OF THAT CIRCLE? NO, NEVER! ID DIE FIRST."- Karl G. Maeser

  In my personal opinion on this quote, I am set out to believe that the word of honor is very important and out rules other things. For instance, when I was a kid I would tell my dear oh father that I would finish my work before supper. Now, my word of honor was telling my father that my work will be done before supper. I was set off to tell myself that it wouldn't really matter to my dear oh father if I were to not finish my work till supper. I went to supper and as we were eating our food, my father asked me," my dear boy, did you finish your homework?". I replied," ....no father I didn't.." He had a disappointed look in his eyes. My word of honor didn't mean much to me at the time nor have much value to me as it really had. SO since there, I was set out to believe this quote and live by it.In this example, it shows the story of the little boy learning the importance of the word of honor. And what it means to have a word of honor he didn't want to disappoint his father. he chooses the right and lived with his word of honor.

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right , and part with him when he goes wrong." - Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln is implying us to do the right thing which means to be honest. If we are honest even about the small things then we will be honest 100% of the time because it would become a habit. When you develop a good habit, it always means well because you would have great things come your way in the near future. For example, when Honest Abe walked six miles because he gave a women short of her change. He closed the shop and went on his way to follow her to give her change back to her. He was so honest that he had amazing character and choose the right. By him doing the right thing following the ctr way , he was given the nickname of Honest Abe. Which followed him even after he passed away. He soon became our president after many years of in failure. A bad example of this quote is to be like our teacher says a liar and you get your way in the short term but end up hurting you in the long term. For instance, if you owe someone money and you tell them you paid them back already. When you really you liked and you will be holding that grief and guilty  with you. Choose the right and be honest like honest Abe was...

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it." -George Mitchell

   In my personal opinion I agree with George Mitchell on the short term gain isn't at all worth the long term pain. For example, the famously baseball player named Mark McGwire was known for breaking the record for most home runs in a season. And on that very day every one was cheering for him and on their feet for congratulating him for beating the world record for most home runs in a season. Little did anyone know but him, that he did a bit of illegal drugs so he could keep on playing like number 1. And after all the celebrating and all the money he finally confessed about using a small amount of illegal drugs. And he was breaking down in tears because he didn't only let himself down he let everyone else as well. This is an example of the quote above, and how cheating is never worth it in the long term nor short term. This could of gone the right way if only he would of stuck to his skills and relied on them. He should of choose the right and been at the level D the democracy level D and this would of never happens and he would of still ad a FAIR chance of winning. Learn from other's mistakes and do it correctness don't go and make the same mistakes.
