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.

Student Success Statement

"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right."

-Mario Cuomo 

The significant behind this quote is that when you feel that something isn't right and you go with your gut most of the time you were right to feel bad because it ended up not being right. Sometimes second guessing things that you aren't sure about can lead you to making the wrong mistake but yet again sometimes the decisions you choose aren't between right or wrong they are on what do you want live like they are life choices that will impact your life in every way. Anyway so when you feel something isn't right just follow that instinct and don't think about it too much because 99% of the time your instincts are right.

Cytotechnologist CPCC

What the video demonstrated was the type of work that you have to do and like in order to be a Cytotechnologist. You have to a very observant person who has patients and can distinguish the similarities and differences among the same type of cells per say. A Cytotechnologist has to enjoy what they are doing or else nothing would get done and it was just a waste of time and money. I personally wouldn't enjoy being a Cytotechnologist because I don't have the patients to be staring at something that I probably don't have a clue what is it that I'm looking for. I respect the people who decide to be a Cytotechnologist because they are the people who are finding the cures in the world for cancer and different diseases that at the moment aren't curable, even though I love to help people and this would be a great way in supporting them this isn't for me, you have to be a committed person and very patient which is something that I'm not very good at.
