"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
Mother Teresa

I think this quote means that no matter how little are the things you do if you are doing good is going to be big. For example if you give food to a homeless you might think it is just a little bit of food but it is not just that, it is a big action. My grandmother always have told me do what is good and do not look who the person is, i think that's a good example of this quote. By this quote the author is trying to persuade people to help others and feel good with themselves.

"The best way to predict your future is to create it."
Charles Ketterer

I think this quote means that predicting your future is easy if you follow the same steps as you do in your dreams. Creting your future may not be easy but it becomes easier as you go on the right way. For example i predict i am going to be a dentist and i am on my way to make it happen because I am trying to get into college for this career. Your predictions are never going to come true if you don't step up and start walking towards them. Get in the right path and start making predictions about your future life.

Student Success Statement
"Be cool in school-live every rule."
Mr. Haymore

I think this quote means that we have to follow school rules in order to have a good time while we are on school. For example if you do not wear your school uniform teachers are not going to be happy with you and you are going to get in trouble and if that happens you will probably feel like they are against you. Another example is when you are not doing your work the teacher will punish you in some way, when this happens the most typical answer from students is "the teacher hates me" and that is not true, that is the teacher's work he or she has to give you work so you can learn. It is funny to see how some students behave because they think teachers are against students. Luckily my teachers are cool enough to understand when someone got in trouble and couldn't finish some work project or something like that. My personal example is that some months ago i had to do a school project for my new media class, the project was in partners, my partner decided to do it at my home, so we did it but i do not have internet at home so i couldn't upload my project to my computer and i saved it on a usb and gave it to my partner then he gave it to his girlfriend and i dind't knew. Then when we get to class we were not working because we did not follow instructions about uploading it to dropbox and he forgot to ask his girlfriend for the usb so we got a "U" on our final report for cooperation. I felt sad because it was not my fault, but it was on a way because i could go to the library and upload it there, but i did not do that. 
School Assembly

Last friday teachers made a show for students, it was funny and entertaining. They were acting like HPIAM students. The main messege was that we have to have a good behavior and wear our school uniforms everyday. They were jumping and dancing funny just to make us laugh. The School Assembly helped me to understand why is important to wear the school uniform and that i have to pay attention to all my classes. 

What i think was the most important thing about the assembly is that it is the proof that all of our teachers care about us and they don't mind to act funny as long as we get an important messege from them. The teachers from my school are the best teachers. ☺

"Action is the foundation key to all success."
Pablo Picasso

I think that this quote means that to achieve your goals is not just thinking about them but trying hard to reach whatever you want to reach. You must act now to accomplish everything you want for you life. Everyday is a time to start and if you think tomorrow is the best day to start you are going to loose time. You must take action of your life to make it worth.
Progress Report of my 100 goals

I am on my way to achieve 5 of my goals. The first one is get straight A's i am trying my best to make that happen and it is happening. The second one is doing all of my homework and i been doing it since i came back for winter. The third one is cleanning my room at least twice in a week. The fourth one is graduate from high school and i am on my way to reach that goal. The fifth one is help my brother with his homework and i been doing it since i wrote it. It feels awesome to be able to see how much i am growing mentally and emotionally. Once i had my goals written down it is easier to follow them and reach them. I think this is a good experience if you have something you really want to do. Try it, you will not be able to stop once you start.

"Adversity causes some men to break-others to break records"
William A. Ward 

I think this quote means that some people take records as challenges to break them and outdo themselves  and at the same time they outdo others. Records are meant to be break, that's the whole point of them. Records encourage people to outdo themselves. For example: When i use typing tutor i choose a harder lesson every time i do it, i am challenging myself to break my own record and be better at typing everyday. If you want to be good at something you have to create your own record and try to break it.

"The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves."

I think this quote means that you have to outdo yourself if you want to succeed because that way you can do everything better every time you try to do something. If you are trying something new do it several times until you master it.

"It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness."
Seneca


I think this quote means that having a good life is hard but after the hard part comes the easy. I think everyday is a battle with ourselves but it we don't choose the right this battle is going to become harder and harder everyday. To reach our dreams take long but not that long as if we don't try to do it. 
For example:
If you want to graduate from high school, you have to get good grades, because if you get F's you are going to have to get those classes again and it is going to take you longest to graduate. You are going to feel like you are going to be in high school forever, but if you choose the right and get good grades, your high school is going to feel easier and short.
