CLASS EVALUATION


1) Some thing that I liked about this class was that we were given helpful lessons that would help improve how we live.

2) Something that I did not like about this class was that I feel we did not have enough free time.

3) Something that I think will help improve this class would be to create more interaction with creating programs.

4) A highlight that I had made during this class was my scratch program that was difficult to create but I was able to pull it off.

5) I did really do by best in this class because I would always read my life planning journal and I would always try to follow the rules and tips we were taught. 

6) I am reading my life planning journal everyday although I might not record my progress, I am reading. 

7) I am committed to being a CTR person because CTR will help me have a brighter future and I should live by it. 

8) What I will pass down from this class will be to CTR and never CTW.

9) The thing that I will always remember about this class will be that I can always become a better person.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the countries armed forces. 

Memorial Day is on the last Monday in May.

A few ways to show honor on Memorial Day is to say thank you to a veteran or current member of the armed forces. You could also visit a Va's national cemeteries. You could also place flags or flowers on a veteran's grave. 




Some interesting facts that I learned about Memorial Day is that it was not always celebrated on the last Monday of May, it used to be celebrated every 30th of May. 
It is legally required to observe a National Moment of Remembrance.
More than 36 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home this Memorial Day.

On memorial day me and my family go to my brother's home who is currently in the army and stay their with him until it gets late.

For someone to truly believe in you, first you must gain their trust. Build that trust and continue to grow that trust that you have with a person. Show others that you are responsible enough to keep secrets. Show them that you do not break promises. Be open minded and never reject an idea or suggestion. Be empathetic so people and trust you. Be consistent and make sure you words make sense with what you are saying. 
 
8. Quick to listen slow to wrath
Be very open minded and listen to what others have to say. Do not get mad before the other person has a chance to explain. Do not listen to find a problem or an issue, listen to find the issue behind the complaint.

9. Lead with vision
Lead people with a goal in mind so everyone can see. Don't just lead others but also yourself. Lead your life with a plan in your mind on what you want to do so it can lead your life. You can not lead your life you do not yourself in something. Picture the future.

Don't lead your life not knowing what to do. Make sure you plan out things so you wont be lost in the future. Just like principle number 9 "Lead with vision" make sure you know what you are doing.

11. Do what matters the most
Make sure you know how much something ways in importance. For example making sure you finish all of your homework is more important than you making sure you check your social media. Manage the things that are important first and then everything else can be second. 

12. Be accountable 
Be expected to be responsible for your own actions. Know what you are doing and don't make excuses about it, they were your actions now stand up for them. Begin with a clear mind for success. Identify the means to be able to measure your progress. Don't ever give up.

How the Internet Works


How the Internet Works
Image result for internet


  • The Internet is a tangible physical system made to move information. 
  • The information is made out of bits and can be describes as any pair of opposites.
  •  Bits are sent by electricity, light or radio waves. Light is the best way to send bits and they are sent through a fiber optic cable.
  •  Everyone has their own ip address. 
  • Internet does not travel through a fixed path. The information travels through different paths and might sometime break down the information and deliver the information at different times.
  •  HTML stands for Hyper text markup language. Html could change the way a website looks with either a picture or the change of text. The more html a website has the slower it will load.
  •  A secure website will have a lock next to the https. Information is protected by being sent as a encryption. The information is sent within 256 bit keys which will make it impossible to be decrypted.
  •  Viruses can easily get into your computer. They are dangerous and can steal private information, take over your device or delete information. 
  • DDOS(Distributed denial of service) is when hackers overwhelm a website with too many requests.
