The 10 Indian Commandments

1. Treat the earth and all that dwells therein with respect.
2. Remain close to the great spirit.
3. Shoe great respect to your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
6. Do what you know to be right.
7. Look after the wellbeing of mind and body.
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
10. Take full responsibility for your actions.

Reflection:

I think that these commandments are rules that the Native Americans must follow. It shows how good people they are because all of their rules are to be helpful and work together and to respect the earth and everything on it. It also shows how they are CTR people because they don't do anything bad they are all good and choose to do good.

“A promise must never be broken.”

“A promise must never be broken.”

-Alexander Hamilton

Reflection:

This quote is saying that you should always keep your word. Keeping your word shows that you are truthful and trustful. If you do not keep a promise then you are being a liar and you are not a trustful person. Keeping your word all the time shows that you are being a CTR person but when you lie and don't keep your promises you are being a CTW person.

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

Student Success Statement

-Theodore Hesburgh

You should give it back because that's the right thing to do.

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound”

-Joseph Smith

Reflection:

I think that this quote is saying that we should all make good things popular and all bad things unpopular. An example is for everyone to stop smoking or doing drugs and make it irrelevant and everyone to start doing good like helping people and saying good things about each other instead of picking on each other because that isn't popular.

Spring Break Reflection

One thing I did was go to Knotts Berry Farm. I also went on roller coasters when i was at knotts. I also went to my cousins house. While I was there I talked to my family. I didn't watch any movies over the break. I also didn't read any books. I played basketball at my house. A CTR experience I had was that I helped my mom. I had to write an essay for physics about climate change.

“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

Reflection:

Abraham Lincoln is saying that he will not always win but he will always be honest and truthful. He is also saying that he will stand will someone that is right but once they become bad he will leave them. An example of this is you hangout out with someone who always chooses the right but one they start acting bad and mean and they start choosing the wrong and making CTW actions then you just stop being friends with them because you know that they aren't doing the right thing.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

“Character is higher than intellect.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:

This quote means that character is higher than knowing everything or being smart. Your character is what matters most. Being a CTR person 24/7 is a lot better than being the smartest person because you're doing what's right. Being intellect doesn't mean you're not a good person but being a good person is a lot better than being smart. One way to have good character is to be a nice and loyal person. You also should be doing everything that's right and say the truth.
