Student Success Statement

"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something you can do it-as long as you really believe 100 percent."

Arnold Schwarzenegger

I think this quote means that you can do whatever you want to do but the price of it is your mind. The mind is the strongest one to do that job. You would be surprised of knowing all the things your mind can do. Dream of it and it is going to became reality. Try and never give up following your dreams. Use your mind to accomplish them.

Student success statement

"You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get."

Michael Phelps

I think this quote means that with effort you can get whatever you want. Dreams are your future reality if you try to make it happen. For example Michael Phelps own 22 olympic medals because he dreamt on it when he was younger. You can accomplish all your dreams but you need dedication. Dreamming is free, start dreamming to be big.

Student Success Statement

"Try a little harder to be a little better"

Gordon B. Hincley 

 I think this quote means that if you try your best while doing whatever you want you will succeed.
If you want to be better you have to do something about it because complaining is not going to take you anywhere. When you have a homework and it is difficult to you, you have to pay more attention during class to understand better your assingment. If paying attention during class does not help, then you have to do your own research about that topic. Start helping yourself because that is the first step to be successful.

Student success statement

"If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work."

Thomas J Watson

I think this quote means that is never late to do what is right and get in the high way. I like this quote because some people say that they can't be good anymore because it's too late but this quote proves that is never too late to start. For example: When you are in your computer's class and the techer says -"time out from your typing", you better stop typing because that's going to get you in the low way. However, if he says -"time back in", you have to start typing again. Start getting into the right path to success.

Student success statement

"It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference."

Paul Bear Bryant

I think that this quote means that doesn't means anything to say that you want to win if you don't prepare yourself. You have to study hard to pass your exam. You have to train hard to win your competition. If you don't prepare yourself how are you going to succed? You have to be prepared for anything you do in your life even if you think is the easiest thing

Research

Paul was born in south central Arkansas on September 11, 1913. He was part of a big family of 12 children but three of them died. His father was a fermer and his mother cared for all of her children. When he was bigger his family decided to move to south of Fordyce, which is also part of Arkansas.  Bryan used to play football at the University of Alabama. When he grew up he became a coach at the University of Maryland and Texas. During the time he coached the team at the University of Alabama they had a record of 323 wins. He was also the first coach who recruited a black player. He died in January 26, 1983 after suffering a masive heart attack.

Student Success Statement

"Righteous community unity starts with ONE upright soul, whether it is a community of a family  members, students, neighbors, teammates, or business associates. Unity conquers worthy persuits more quickly and with less effort than individual effort alone."

Mr. Haymore

I think this quote means that people just need a little push from a good person to convert themselves into good people. For example, when there is a natural disaster in some place, one person informs to the rest of the people and little by little everyone help with food, clothes, or some other need. Our society needs someone to start the right path so everyone would follow. You don't need to force someone to do it because every person would make right decisions for themselves.

You can gro flowers, or you can grow weeds...

“The essential thing is not knowledge, but character.”


by Joseph Le Conte

I think this quote means that you don't need to try something to know it is wrong, you just have to have a strong character to keep walking on the good path. If you want to be on the high way, then you have to choose the right, but if you want to be in the low way good luck. Everybody should have a strong character to success in life.

Student Success Statement

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all"

Aristotle

I think this statement means that your heart and your mind have to be coordinated with each other because when you make decisions to do the right thing you have to have the prespective from both sides. Sometimes the heart choose what is better but the mind choose the correct one. Therefore, you have to have both to  actually choose the right.

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do."

Alex Linares

I think this quote means that choosing the right does not change because of points of view, choosing the right is always the right decision for everyone. It's better to do something that you know is right rather than do something you would like to regret. For example: When you help some old woman to cross the street, everybody will think that you are a good person, but if you just pass by, that is mean and you are going to feel it. Choosing the right is going to take you far.

Friends help you and follow you  to the right way of life but there are other people that you call friends and they are not. People is fake and sometimes you don't notice it.

La amistad

Quisiera hoy,  hablar de la amistad, he empezado con una frase que quizás esté demasiado utilizada, pero creo firmemente que encierra una gran verdad.

La amistad es uno de los valores de la vida que hay que agradecer, tener amigos es tener vida, salud, alegría.No todas las personas con las que nos relacionamos son amigas, muchas son amistades que también nos enriquecen, pero que en muchas ocasiones solo tratamos en momentos puntuales.
La amistad verdadera es otra cosa, se mantiene en el tiempo, aunque muchas veces no podamos vernos y compartir con la frecuencia que desearíamos.

Los verdaderos amigos están siempre presentes en nuestra vida, hoy gracias a Dios, no sólo a través de las cartas, sino que los medios tecnológicos nos ofrecen otras formas como internet, teléfono, que nos acercan aunque nos separen kilómetros.

Pero cuando hay  amistad los kilómetros no son tantos.
Para que la amistad dure debe estar basada en estos valores: Sinceridad, confianza, respeto y amor.
Las amistades van surgiendo, no se buscan, algunas compartimos afinidades, otras no, pero si desde el momento en que nos conocimos hemos sido sinceros, hemos generado una confianza mutua, podemos hablar respetando que somos diferentes, el amor va creciendo, va madurando y la amistad creada durará toda la vida.

La literatura nos ofrece versos, frases, refranes y narraciones sobre el buen hacer de la amistad, también hay algunas en contra porque no siempre fue bien vista la amistad.

Un amigo se puede presentar en distintas apariencias no solamente como un humano sino tambien como una mascota, ya que un amigo es señal de fidelidad.

“My Experience So Far At HPIAM”

Mi experiencia en HPIAM hasta ahora ha sido buena, me agrada esta escuela. Estar en una escuela con nuevas instalaciones y equipo ha sido una tarea dificil, sin embargo nosotros los estudiantes nos hemos esforzado por mantenerla en buen estado, como tambien el equipo escolar lo ha hecho. Es primordial sentirte agusto en un lugar donde pasaras cuatro años de tu vida siete horas al dia. Hoy voy a describir algunas ventajas que considero importantes de venir a esta escuela.

Una de las necesidades que me parece importante para que una escuela tenga exito es tener buenos profesores, y me da alegria poder decir que nosotros contamos con eso. Los profesores en HPIAM se preocupan por los alumnos, nos ayudan si tenemos errores y están al pendiente todos los días. El director intenta lo mejor que puede por ayudarnos y que sea divertida y fácil nuestra estancia en “High School”. El "staff" escolar tambien juega un papel muy escencial en nuestro dia a dia, ya que nos ayudan a mantener las instalaciones lo mayor higienicas posible, para hacer nuestra estadía de mayor agrado.

HPIAM cuenta con un ambiente democrata, y justo. Me entusiasma poder participar en las decisiones escolares, ya que todo es por medio de votaciones. Cada año se eligen alumnos para representar nuestra comunidad estudiantil, ellos son electos por medio de votaciones hechas por el mismo alumnado.Cabe recalcar que cada generacion tiene su propio representante para que se ajuste a las necesitades de ese año. Tambien se llevan a cabo distintas formas de recaudar fondos para las actividades estudiantiles futuras.

Marquez high school es una escuela nueva y limpia que abrio sus puertas a nosotros los estudiantes en el 2011, con nuevos electronicos e instalaciones. Es lindo ser parte de esta gran experiencia como es ser la primera generacion en graduarse de esta linda escuela. Asi como hay ventajas, tambien hay desventajas, pero hay personas que se han vuelto muy especiales en mi vida y son ellos quienes me ayudan a valorar cada dia y olvidarme de las deventajas, a ellos les llamo "amigos".

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil."

I think this quote means that if you know that something is wrong don't do it because you are not going to get anything good out of it. It's better to choose the right because you fell good with yourself and peaceful.

"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right."

Mario Cuomo

I think this quote means that when you do something and you don't feel good doing it mostly of the time is because it is wrong. Your conscience is always there  it is going to tell you if you are acting good or not. You definitly know what you are doing so, at the end you are always going to notice if you did good.
