Student Success Statement #26

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

- Aristotle

Reflection: If one does no teach the heart then one would never be able to succeed. One needs the heart to give yourself a drive to wake up every morning to know that one will look to succeed in what the heart loves. It'll wake you up to tell you that today may be a big day. It also teaches moral values. Without the knowledge of these values then one would not be able to succeed because one would not be able to create connections and network with people causing life to be nearly impossible.

Student Success Statement #25

"CTR connects you to happiness and success-CTW disconnects."

- Mr. Haymore

Reflection: I believe CTR can connect you to happiness because you will feel morally sane that you asre doing the right thing. But I do not believe it can guarantee my success. The world around me and the one we see in the news and other media outlets shows that some successfull people aren't necessarily living the high way. But they still feel happy because they have what they need to survive in this horrible, corrupt earth.

Student Success Statement #24

-  Alex Linares

Student Success Statement #23

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

- ANON

Reflection: One really wants to be a good person because it will bring them happiness. When someone surrounds themselves with bad people they would only strive for one thing which would be to become accepted. It doesn't matter what group it is, you will always want to be accepted. And if you surround yourself with bad people, then one would only learn to do bad things. If a boy is raised by wolves, he would learn to be a wolf.

Student Success Statement #22

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

- Ezra T. Benson

Reflection: He is saying that if some does something unethical then it would be impossible for one to feel as if they did something right. It all depends on what perpective you look at it from. If you do something wrong for the ultimate goal of selfishness and greed then it would be impossible to feel right. But say if a man fights back to a person that has oppressing them then it is right. It doesn't matter if they are rebeling. They are rebelling for control of their rights as human beings.

Student Success Statement #20

"Tell me what is right and I will fight for it."

-Woodrow Wilson

Reflection: It is amazing what this man said. It is important to fight for what is right rather than to fight for one's own greed. One example would be how criminals kill people sometimes because they are against them. All the criminals want is the money and status of power. I only wish to do good in the world and cause no harm to anyone. But if I am pursuing something for the greater good and there are obstacles to accomplish that, I would have to fight my way to finish it.

"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

Reflection: This is entirely true. One who stands up for what is right is the person that shows courage. Courage because not many people would stand up for it because of the fear of being criticized by society. It is an amazing feeling when does because you feel like a noble person doing things right.

My Experience So Far at HPIAM

Reflection: This is the way I feel whenever I do something great. I just feel that once I do something amazing and well done I just feel proud of the fact that I actually did it.

APB Reloaded

I have recently been more active in one of my favorite games called APB Reloaded. It is a game about cops and robbers fighting in the public streets because criminals have been terrorizing the streets for too long and it is up to the vigilantes named The Enforcers to fight these criminals and serve justice onto the streets. It is a very fun game especially when you play with friends. I constantly call my cousin to tell him to play online so we can level up everything so we can be equal with every weapon and car we want.
