Challenges Teens Face Today

Challenges Teens Face Today

One huge challenge teens face today is drugs and the pressure to study. Not only that but also to get into a good college, you also face pressure in a relationship. You constantly feel that you need to look good and you feel that you have to excel at everything. They might not be certain of the future which causes them to stress out. The two major challenges we face today is drugs and the pressure to study. I make sure to stay away from drugs and to not get caught up in them. I also make sure I study almost everyday at least once. Becoming a ctr person helps you realize the bad things about stuff and helps you know that if you do the right thing, you will always be rewarded. We can helps other teens with their problems by helping them with school work that they need help with. And to listen to the ones that have other types of problems and figure of a method on how to help them.

Reflection: The greatest need that i student has is education, and the ability to be able to learn a lot.

I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right

Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."

-Dean Smith

Dean Smith is trying to teach us that it's not always about winning but also about doing the right thing. He also means that being remember isn't as good as doing the right thing. Dean Smith is trying to teach us to do whats right more than anything else. Dean Smith's quote also means that doing whats right is always the best choice. Doing the right thing can't compare to winning a championship. When he says that he was trying to do the right thing, he doesn't just mean winning but also by making all his players feel special.

Educating the body, mind, and character

"Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation."

-Theodore Roosevelt

The quote pretty much means that the best thing you can do for this country is teach others what to think or how to respond "properly". I disagree with President Roosevelt, teaching people how to think and respond is the best thing you can do for this country. Maybe teaching the kids and giving them options on how their bodies should think and respond. The quote also means that the best thing you can do for this country is teach the children and i agree with that. Just not that they should teach us how to act, think, or be a human beings. 

Take responsibility

"Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being."

- Mr.C.S. Haymore

This quote made by Mr.C.S. Haymore means that you shouldn't let others be the ones who tell you what to do. Also that you should always take responsibility for all your actions and never blame anyone else. You shouldn't let anyone take your spirit away. Don't ever blame anyone else for not being healthy. Like for example you want to lose weight but you keep saying you can't because already made plans. Your just making excuses. Another example would be something like if your not where you want to be because "Its to HARD" your just being lazy and irresponsible. You should never let someone hold you back not even yourself. Your spirit can be what ever you want it to be. Your the only one that can control your body, mind, and spirit so don't blame others if your not where you want to be.
