Student Success Statement Mr. Haymore

"CTR connects you to happiness and success-CTW disconnects"
Mr. Haymore

Reflection: I agree with this statement you could possibly be happy and successful by CTR and most of the time you would not be successful by CTW. But not all the time you will be successful and happy by CTR, you never know what can happen. I still somewhat agree with this statement.

Student Success Statement ANON

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company."
ANON

Reflection: I agree, 100%. Because if you are alone you don't have to worry about your friends and stuff. Then if you have bad company you can get in trouble and not doing the right thing. That's why you have to look for the right friends that you like. For example, in 8th grade I was sorta hanging around with the bad crowd and I was not getting my work done and my parents were not proud when they saw my report cards. Until I realized im not going to culminate then I started to talk to teachers and was doing all my work, and I did culminate and my parents and I were happy. Now im trying to do very good in high school.
