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

-Bo Jackson

To me this quote is telling us to never give up on our goals. To always set them high and put effort until we get that goal. You need to be committed to it and put time into it. It doesn't matter if it takes you a long time to achieve your goal, the whole point is to not give up and reach that goal.

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

-Arnold Schwarzegger 

To me this quote means that you achieve anything you desire as long as you set a goal and commit to it 100 percent. It may not be easy or fun but you're striving for the outcome. Plus you will be stronger at the end when you finish. You will give yourself confidence and set greater goals in the future. I remember a time when I was really frustrated of not being able to run better in cross country but I kept on training until I had the mental capacity to be fully committed to a run.

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

-Michael Phelps

This quote means to me that there is no limit for anything you wish to accomplish. The more effort and time you put into something, the more closer you will get to your goal. If you dream of doing something, you can get farther into it by working your way up to that accomplishment. For example, if I want to graduate from high school, I must work really hard throughout the years in order to get there and graduate. 

Student Success Statement

My Experience At HPIAM

“My Experience So Far At HPIAM”

            So far my experiences here at HPIAM have been great. I have learned a lot in these years, which I am very thankful for. My classes are fun and every day I’m getting better on my skills. This is my last year here, I’m trying to make this the best year and have good memories that I won’t forget. This year I join SRLA to run the LA Marathon on March 9, 2014. All my teachers have been good and I respect them to get the same respect back. It is good getting along with all your teachers because it makes school easier and more fun. Most of the classes I taken here at HPIAM are Honor classes, which makes me feel good because I know it’s going to look good on me when I apply to colleges. I have also had some bad experiences, for example they didn’t tell me I was supposed to make up Chemistry B or Algebra 2B last year, they barley told me this year. I didn’t like this because they don’t offer these classes in adult school. Now I’m taking these classes, and I don’t really like it because they took away my tutoring periods and now I have more classes with more work and it’s too much work that I get that sometimes I forget some assignments for other classes. I do the best I can to keep up with all my classes, I just want to keep the same GPA that I have or higher. But yet I have had a great experience here at HPIAM other than that. I would like for this experience to change, but to change in a way where it gets better.

Student Succes Stament

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

-Ayn Rand

What this quote is trying to say is that we are responsible for ourselves and we ahould know better from what is wrong or good. Its saying that there is no excuse for us chosing something to do that is wrong or evil, because we already know the consequences its going to have. For example, if we do something bad, we can't have an excuse for what we did because we already knew it was going to be bad and we chose to do wrong. I had a personal experience, because my friend had told me he wasn't going to do his homework because he didn't like the teacher, and I told him to do it and he didn't listen. Because of that He Failed the class, and he realized what he did was wrong and he accepted it.

The Sting of the Scorpion

Reflection:
What I learn from this video is that we always have to make sure we choose the right. Even if we think we are doing the right thing, we have to double check because sometimes it may not be right and then we get bad consequences. We should always be aware of what we are doing so we know we are safe.

Student Success Statement

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."

-Theodore Roosevelt

What this quote is trying to say is that if you are ever in a situation where you have to decide what you're going to do, to always make the right decision. Its also saying that no matter what, the best thing to always do is "right." For example i had a friend who was into gang problems and one time they told him if he didn't fight some other guy he was going to get hit by the other gang members. He didn't know what to do because he was scared, but at the end he ended up not doing anything and he decided what was right for him and he left the gang and is now doing good.
