I think this quote means that choosing the right will take you far but if you choose the wrong you are not going anywhere.

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.  

Student Success Statement

"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.

Students Success Statement

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company."

ANON

I think this quote means that bad companies are the worst way to get the right path. 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. If you feel in your heart that someone is true with you, those people are friends, but if you don't feel sure about them they are not friends. It's better to do things by yourself than do things with bad people.

Student Success Statement

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

Ezra T. Benson 

I think this quote means that if you do something that you know is wrong, you are going to feel scared, sad or guilty. Choosing the wrong may have consecuences while choosing the right may have awards. For example, when you copy your homework from your classmate, you are going to feel scared of what would happen if the teacher notice it, but if you do your homework you are going to feel proud of yourself.

Student Success Statement

"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing,

 than to incur the reproach of our consciences."

Robert E. Lee

I think this quote means that is better to do what you think is right than doing something we don't want to do and be sorry with our consience. When you do something that is not right you feel it.

Let's pretend someone is inviting you to ditch school to go to the mall, and you don't want to because you have an important exam. Would you do it? If your answer was NO then it is because you know that is not right, but if your answer was yes you must have big problems because you wouldn't even enjoy your decision because you could get caught, analyze your options and determine which one is the best for your future. Remember your present is the construction of your future.

Student Success Statement

"Tell me what is right and i will fight for it"

Woodrow wilson

I think this quote means if you find out that something is unjust or something like that  you have to fight against it and do what is right. When you feel inyour heart that you are doing something wrong, STOP, breath, and think about it, after you think it over and over again you would see the difference because you are going to choose the right option.

Student succces statement

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."

Margaret Chase Smith

I think this quote means that you don't  have to do the same as other person. You just have to do what you think is right, doesn't matter if other people find that unpopular.

It doesn't matter if they think you are boring, you are going to feel good with yourself.

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".
