Your D-Day P-Day

Your D-Day P-Day is Your Decision-Day Promise Day, the day that you make the most important decision and promise of your lifetime. It is a day of distinction, as compared to all other days of your life. Your D-Day P-Day is the day you make the decision to be a CTR Person and promise to always Choose the Right. From the moment of this decision and promise onward, you will be a different person, you will feel a charge soar throughout your body, mind, and spirit that energies and electrifies, inspires and secures you. This is because you are receiving the assurance that you made the right and best decision possible. Now, your past is behind you, and you entire future is ahead of you. You will be more alert and aware of happenings within yourself and those surrounding you.

The moment you decide to be a CTR Person you begin a newness of life, a newness of spirit. You will never be the same. You are now empowered to joyfully anticipate everyday of your existence.

Your D-Day P-Day is a pivotal day for you. It is the day you start anew. From this decision onward, you will be a CTR Person every moment, no matter where you may be, and you will  always Choose the Right, 24/7.

"We felt great about Choosing the Right!!

Hayro Boiton, Daniel Gonzales and others were recently inside an am/pm store buying a few snacks. They saw a man that appeared worried, scared, sad, and very depressed, as if something in his life was missing. At the time these students didn't pay any attention to this lonesome man, for they were more concerned about eating, satisfying their appetites; therefore, they purchased a few goodies and departed.

While walking away, Hayro noticed a truck with the initials C.T.R. on the side. Hayro got Daniel's attention and pointed to the C.T.R. The C.T.R. reminded them of CTR (Choose the Right) in Mr. Haymore's class. They chuckled a little and continued walking. All of a sudden, they saw a wallet laying on the ground near a car. Initially they were thrilled, excited, and they couldn't wait to see whether or not it had money inside. If it did have money, they were going to grab it all as quickly as possible and run before anyone saw or caught them.

Daniel picked up the wallet and said, "Maybe the guy back at am pm lost it." They opened the wallet, checking for money and other valuables. (Time for choosing CTR or CTW was immediately at hand) They could have stolen money, credit cards, and other valuables, giving them pleasure for only a few minutes. While searching the wallet, they saw the owner's ID card, and it was definitely the man they had seen back in the am/pm store. They thought about taking the money (CTR or CTW), but then they remembered CTR--they knew the right thing to do--return the wallet to the owner without stealing anything; therefore, they ran back to am/pm and caught up with the worried man just as he was leaving the store with his head hanging down toward the ground.

They presented the wallet to the man, the rightful owner, and he was so humble and grateful!  He was so thankful that his wallet was found and returned to him. He was deeply appreciative to Hayro, Daniel, and friends because they were honest enough to give it to him. The students were all smiles and were happy to see the worried man smile and being happy again. The man was thankful that these students chose the right.

Abraham Lincoln said, "When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad." Hayro, Daniel, and friends said, "We felt GREAT about CHOOSING THE RIGHT!! 

Hayro, Daniel, and friends, I am so proud of you for your honorable acts of honesty and integrity, for Choosing the Right. For you and other classmates  who always Choose the Right, I commend all of you for Choosing the Right 24/7.

Sincerely,

Mr. Haymore, Teacher

China stripped of 2000 gymnastics medal for underage athlete

By Chris Chase

Follow Yahoo! Sports Olympic blog, Fourth-Place Medal on Facebook and Twitter.

"China was stripped of a team all-around bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics on Wednesday because it fielded an underage gymnast. Dong Fangxiao was discovered to be 14 at the time of those Games, two years younger than the minimum age requirement.

The medal will be given to the United States team which finished fourth in Sydney. The IOC has asked for China to return the medals "as soon as possible" so they can be reallocated to the U.S. team."

Students, how embarrassing; what a shame, how sad. China thought they were getting away with cheating, but no, it caught up with them even several years later. Dong Fangxiao is now about 24 years of age, and how do you think she feels? The glory and fanfare of winning the olympic medal is long gone, but memories of cheating and CTW impact for years long after the they occur. She should have been strong enough to CTR and not let the Chinese persuade her to CTW, but she was weak and fell for the temptation. Imagine how she feels today and how she faces people and what they think of her action. She hides her face in shame along with all the others who permitted this infraction. They knew about, but were too anxious to WIN, that they CTW. "The short term gain is not worth the long term pain."

Today, cheating is wide-spread throughout athletics, schools, families, communities and nations, and we need to do all we can to promote goodwill, that which is right.

Students, Always Choose the Right, CTR. If you CTW, you may get away with it for a period of time, but inevitably it will catch up with you, even if it's in the end. Individuals, teams, churches, businesses, schools, states, nations.....all must always do what is right--no exception. "True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right" (Brigham Young)
