My Experience So Far at HPIAM

“My Experience So Far at HPIAM”

I’ve only been in HPIAM for a year and 5 months and right now I’m a 10th grader. HPIAM is okay the teachers care about you and all. It’s easy to get to classes except like when there are a lot of students outside of class piling up in the halls. The hallways are clean; the colors are nice and look all forest. Um the classes are easy to pass if you do your work and pay attention in class. I don’t really do my work until the last second, so I kind of do badly sometimes, but the teachers in HPIAM help me to do better and raise my grades up. I like how HPIAM says that we are all greatness waiting to happen. The principle is awesome he really cares about all the students in HPIAM and will help them out. The counselor is cool too because she will help you reach your credits and stuff. I’m just going to right about the school the field is like really awesome because the bleachers are all new and then how it looks kind of like a castle on the top and then in the back three’s like a small park we can run in. The P.E teacher for HPIAM can be pushy and funny most of the time but he will help you meet your physical goals. The pool is great too because it’s like outdoors and I like how the sun hits it and then its warm most of the time. The basketball courts are great.  We have Instruments which is pretty cool and we also have computers. I wish HPIAM had art though because I love drawing and I’m really good at it. So yeah the only thing I think HPIAM is missing is a good art class and a Japanese class.

Halloween

So Halloween is coming up and there’s like two movies that I want to see. Well two new ones, they are Carrie and the other movie is the next Paranormal Activity. So I’m excited to see those two movies. Also I might get dressed for Halloween as um either R from Warm Bodies or Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. I might take my brothers trick or treating if they want too I think my youngest brother will, because he likes to eat candy. One other thing is I’m going to be watching th3e new episodes for The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is a live role-play show about people surving from zombies and it’s just freaking awesome. So basically I’m going to spend my whole day for Halloween watching scary movies. I like Halloween because you can dress up as someone one you’re not and also scare people, well some people and the fact that we get to get free candy.

Scorpion Video

Sting of the Scorpion
So I learned from the scorpion video that you have to listen to others because, like the little kid didn’t listen to his parents to wear shoes so instead he just wore his sandals. So he chose the wrong option. He chose the wrong option because while he was walking he got stung by a scorpion and that’s what happens when you don’t listen to others that are right. So that’s why you always have to listen to what people say and choose the right decision or something bad might happen.

Student Success Statement
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Reflection:  I think it’s like when you have a choice to do something bad or good or semi bad/good. To always do what’s good because that’s the best thing to do in a decision. Like choosing to help my mom wash the clothes or going to my friend’s house first. The best thing to do first would be to help out my mom~
