Mr. C's Quote's

"A teacher is a person who never says anything once."

"Find a job you like and you add five days to every week."

"I'm on the pursuit of happiness, and I know that everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold. I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good."

"If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly."

"Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there."

"The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort - he never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature."

"Only the mediocre are always at their best."

"Never Mistake Activity For Achievement"

"Rudy is not everyday a shooter, He’s defense. He’s passes. He’s assists."

Final Exam - Yellow Version

Oregon CIS

During the final you may not have any document open, other than the final.
If I see something else open I will assume you are cheating and you will get
a ZERO on the final...

When you finish, you may go to the appropriate websites,
but it must remain QUIET

Blog Post
What did you do over Winter Break? Don't say "Nothing" all of you did something!
After you are done with your post grab your CPS remote please

I started the break off by coaching a basketball game, the team beat North Salem HS. Basketball took up the
majority of my break. I had practice almost every day and then we had 4 games also. We did take a few days off
to celebrate Christmas and New Years. I also got to spend a lot of time with family and friends. The biggest
news is that I bought my first house! I hate moving and I'm still not done but I'm almost there.

Job Readiness Presentation - review attire needed and other considerations 1-16
and Preparing for the Job Interview 24-30. With CPS

Commonly Asked Questions - Answer each question as you would if it was asked of you
in an interview. Include the question into your answer.
