From Middle School to High School

Higher Standards

When I was a child in middle school, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, I acted as a child, and did childish things. Many times I chose the wrong.

But when I became a high school student, I put away childish things and became a young man, a young woman, a CTR Person-I now always Choose the Right.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

(1) I firmly believe that I can achieve wonderful things at the collegiate level if only given the chance to do so. Every day on and off of the soccer field I push myself to be the very best that I can be. Academically, I'm at the top of my class, and I strive for nothing but the very best in each of my classes. Given the chance, I know I could preform well academically while maintaining a high level of play on the soccer pitch.  As an athlete, I maintain that determination and that fire to be the very best at what I do. My expectations for myself and for my teammates around me are extremely high, and I do everything that I can to meet those goals and expectations. I strive to be a leader at church, school, and on the soccer field. 

(2) As a person, I have grown up with wonderful examples in my life that have helped me to develop into a man of good character as well as a quality athlete. This allows me to bring the fire and intensity that an athlete needs to be great while maintaining a sense of sportsmanship and respect for my opponents. I respect all of my fellow athletes on and off the field, while fearing none. 

(3) Above all else, I know that God has given me all that I have, and he comes first and foremost in my life. I will be serving a mission for my church following my high school graduation, and as a result, I will not be available to play until the fall semester of 2017.

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.

I Am Responsibile

I am responsible, I am reliable, I always follow through with what I say I’m gonna do.

I am dependable. I am responsible hold myself accountable, I take responsibility

And do what needs to be done. I show self-control

Use good judgment. I think about the consequences of my actions

Responsibility, It is my duty

Fulfilling all of my Moral obligations

If I mess up I will always less up

I will keep my head up, I’m never gonna give up

It is my duty And responsibility

To follow through You can count on me To do what I say

That I’m going to so I never make excuses

When everything goes wrong I take responsibility

And don’t blame anyone I put the blame on me

Stand up and take the lead Come on and follow me

Let’s make this a priority! I show self – control

Use good judgment, The consequences

Of my actions.  Responsibility,

It is my duty fulfilling all of my

Moral obligations…
