“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

-Alex Linares

        

    The significant of this quote is that doing the right will always be the right thing to do in which I totally disagree because there are occasions in where doing the wrong can be the best way out of a certain situation. Doing the right can get you far and have you realize how great of a person you can be but sometimes the best thing to do is the wrong. You sometimes need to sacrifice yourself for others because that’s the right thing to do. I don’t believe between right and wrong I believe that many people have many different morals and just because you don’t agree with them or think they are “right” it doesn’t precisely mean it’s wrong.

I wouldn't like to a an electroneurodiagnostic technologist because I don't feel it's the right job for me. First of all I'm not an organized person and this type of job needs a person that can keep things in order and on record and I forget things and don't really pay much attention. I sound like a typical teenager but its just not me. Can't work in a place where there isn't much action.

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

-ANON

My interpretation of this quote is in how things would be easier if people were alone than in bad company. Sometimes people like to hang out with the different types of crowd and being so can get you in a lot of trouble since you might end up doing things you probably haven't done which is a good thing but they might not be part of your morals and then you'll feel bad and you'll bring consequences to yourself. If you don't want to get in any trouble try and avoid people or things that can get you in trouble, especially with yourself. It's always better to be alone than in bad company. There is also the scenario in where the people you are usually with are nothing but two face and back stabbers and that is when I truly imply this quote because why would you want to be around instigators and people who just like to cause damage to others because they are tired of damaging themselves.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

 –Ezra T. Benson

My opinion on this quote is that a, what society considers normal, person wouldn’t feel right doing something wrong knowing that it’s wrong it’s just not “normal”. There are people with brain damage or something isn’t clicking and might think the opposite, when doing something wrong to them it’s doing something right without them realizing it. People tend to communicate what or who the people are when in reality they are just expressing their; believes and opinions. Just because they said it doesn’t mean its true, people have the right to maintain their own opinion not mattering what other people might think.

"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our conscience." 
-Robert E. Lee

What I interpret from this quote is how doing the right can save you from having a bad conscience. In living through life with a good conscience and not having any regrets or negative thoughts about why you did certain things when they weren't right in the first place. Its all about choosing the right and taking the correct path towards the life you desire I don't think many people do the wrong on purpose and when they do their conscience torments them and keeps them on a bad track that will eventually be discovered because of how their conscience subconsciously left "footprints" behind as a cry for help.

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

-Woodrow Wilson

First of all there shouldn't be telling anybody body what is right and what is wrong because everyone has a different perspective all the right and wrong things. I don't think there is a right or wrong everyone is free to elect what feels right to them not to the world but to them. Why would I start fighting for something that is supposedly "right" when I don't even have the fundamental ideas of these choices, just because someone says it was right doesn't mean I'm going to go and fight what if to me that's wrong? If you want to fight for what is right then go ahead and fight for what YOU believe in and not in what others do. Why do you have to be manipulated in such a way that you have to be told what to do?

Student Success Statement

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self esteem, and personal satisfaction."

-Margaret Thatcher

My significance about this quote are very self explanatory in the quote. This quote is explains itself its not a riddle, but my thoughts about this quote are quite different see disciplining yourself into doing something can be both beneficial and dangerous I guess you could say. When you discipline yourself into doing something its very helpful in matter in where you went have to think twice about the decision you are taking because you automatically know what is it that you are doing but when it becomes serious, being discipline doesn't help you at all it just might make the things worse. You are being challenged between something you know and something you don't know. But disciplining yourself in doing the right thing can be something good for you as you won't struggle when it comes to making a right or wrong decision.

My Experience So Far At HPIAM

      My experience so far at HPIAM has been pleasant. This is going to be my second and last year here, so sad, but I strongly believe that HPIAM is a great school in where students can learn and also have some fun when earned. To begin with I think the teachers are amazing they might be confusing sometimes, you can have difficulty trying to understand what they really mean but it turns out to be okay. The teachers are very helpful when it comes to asking questions and when you need help with college material or any other situation they are willing to help because they care about their students. The principal is an amazing principal, he really cares about the staff and students and wants to make sure that the students are successful and make us feel like we are in a safe environment. He just wants the best for us and will try hard for it to be that way. There are amazing school events organized by the awesome leadership team that makes us more involved into school activities 

 The Sting Of A Scorpion

 This video was about a family who were camping out in the desert and when the child would want to go out for a walk his parents would advise him to put on his shoes because there were all type of poisonous animals out in the desert like: snakes, ants, scorpions, etc. One morning the kid didn't want to wear his shoes so he decided to wear his sandals and while walking he felt a sting and then realized that it had been a scorpion. He felt the pain elevating and started screaming for help. His parent ran to him and drove him to the nearest hospital, which was two hours away. Arriving to the hospital the doctor injected his foot with anesthesia and informed the parents how a scorpion sting is deadly to infants and bad nutritioned people.

I believe this is a great example of how kids should listen to their parents because whether you like it or not your parents are almost always going to be right. When your parents warn you of something its because they know what they are talking about and they just want you to be safe. Don't ignore your parents, they usually have a purpose of to why they are telling certain things.

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

- Theodore Roosevelt

My connotation of this quote exemplifies how each decision you make matters to the type of life you want to live and you are fully responsible of the decision you take. If you believe that the decision you are making is right to you then take it and don't regret it because you had an idea of what you were getting into so stand up for what you believe in and not in what others do.
