“Kind words can be short

and easy to speak, but

their echoes are truly

endless.”

Mother Teresa

Reflection: I believe that Teresa is trying to say that words you only need to say them once to someone to leave a lasting impression, but kind ones leave much faster than hurtful ones, that is why we should say them more often.

Assembly

Assembly

On this morning of January 24, 2014 during Block Four the whole student body of HPIAM high school attended a school assembly about choices we can make to improve our high school experience by following rules and being always on time. The teachers from HPIAM demonstrated in a comedic manner about how to go about what to do and what not to do. We must always listen to the teacher to get the most out of our free education. We must wear our uniforms to not make distractions in class or out on the yard, also to not make each other feel inferior to one another. We must be on time so that we can also get the most of our education.

“Action is the foundational key to

all success.”

Pablo Picasso

Reflection: I believe what Picasso is trying to say is that we have everything with actions and nothing without it. We can have hopes and dreams, but without action those hopes and dreams will never come true, they will remain hopes and dreams until action is used.

Student Success Statement

“Vision without action is a

daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.”

Japanese Proverb

Reflection: When we dream, we have high hopes that something possible or impossible will happen. When we take action to make these dreams real, we make the dream become real. That is why we must have both, a vision and action. Say you set out to go travel to Spain, you vision yourself there but never actually go, you have a dream. Say you go to Spain, but don't know what to do, you know no one, have to information of their background history, it is truly a nightmare.

not to outdo others, but

to outdo ourselves.”

ANON

Reflection: I believe what this person is trying to 

say is that we don't want to push ourselves farther than we can or less than we can. Everyone's ambitions are different. So we must push ourselves to be much more.
