Student Success Statement

“The reward of a job well done is to have done it.”

Reflection: what I believe this means is that when you do something and you think it’s not good enough, you should always think positive and look at the bright side, the fact that you did it is better than not doing it at all. J

My Experience So Far At HPIAM

My experience so far in this academy has been very good. All my teachers have been very kind, my classmates are somewhat alright. Some classes aren’t as easy as others, but with each and every one of my teacher’s help and patience it has got to the point in which everything has slowly seemed to be less difficult. Within these few weeks of school, I’ve noticed many things. For example all the hard work the teachers put in to make us become a better person. Each teacher has their own way of teaching, and their own way of working the class out, but they all work together to make our education the best.

Our principal, Mr. C, is a very amazing and very nice person. He always tries his hardest to make our school a better place. And we all really appreciate his hard work. In just these few weeks I have also learned many things about medicine in which our academy is based on. I really enjoy being part of this academy because everyone, well almost everyone, gets so well along. There are never any fights, arguments, or drama at all. Entering a new school, with different people, was pretty scary at the beginning, but it has obviously been a very exciting experience. I’ve met many people throughout these few weeks of school being at HPIAM.

There are some few reasons why I don’t really like being in this school, but it’s really nothing big. It’s just the way the schedule is organized, the different schedules from all the other academies. And how there’s no bells to inform us when class is over, when passing period ends, when lunch starts nor when lunch ends. Other than that this has been a very amazing and exciting experience. J

Student Success Statement

“Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.”

                            Margaret Thatcher

Reflection: what I believe this quote means is that when you are put in a situation in which doing the wrong is better for you, you should always go for what’s right because at the end you will feel proud towards yourself for doing the right thing. J

Example: going to the store, and the cashier gives you more money than what you’re supposed to receive, instead of leaving with the money and doing the wrong, you should just return the money and feel proud for choosing the right! (x

The Sting of the Scorpion:

The brief video the class just finished watching is about a little kid who went camping with his parents to a desert. His parents told him to always wear his shoes, but instead he just ignored them. He decided to go out for a walk, and since he was too lazy to put his shoes on, he wore flip flops. As he was walking a scorpion stung his leg leaving him in much pain. The hospital was two hours away, anyways someone sure did learn their lesson.

Reflection: what this video taught me was, always do what is right because choosing the wrong will bring you bad consequences.
