Student Success Statement 

"Our very business in life is not to get ahead of others... but to get ahead of ourselves."Thomas S. Monson 

Reflection: In my opinion this quote means to always try to do better than what you did. A saying that my 8th grade AVID teacher taught me is "Good, better, best, never ever rest, until your good is better, and your better is best." I believe this saying connects to the quote because its telling you to never stop at what you think is your best because you could always do better.

“Real wealth is not so much what we have as what we are.”

Sterling W. Sill

Reflection: To me this quote means that what you are is not defined by money it’s defined by the type of person that you are. People will base you off your personality and how you act with them. The wealth you could have in your life is all the good things you do in your life that’s what makes you rich.

My First Week Of School At HPIAM

My first week as a high school student was pretty good considering the fact that I'm a freshman and I'm new to the school and I really didn't know anybody. I felt lucky because some of my friends were in my classes and they would be with me throughout the day so that was a plus. Most of my teachers were really nice and they knew we would be shy the first couple of days so they didn't make us talk or ask us lots of questions. My favorite teacher so far is Mrs. Porter my 3rd period Biology teacher I really like her class so far,she seems really nice and she says were going to do lots of activities and lab work so it should be fun. In high school I do plan to play sports, hopefully I make it onto the girls softball team or soccer team both being the JV teams and later on hopefully Varsity. Parkhill my PE teacher and maybe soon to be softball coach is my second favorite, he was my dads football coach and PE teacher in high school. My dad says he's really cool but when he has to push you to do your work he'll push you until you get the job done, I like teachers like that because they motivate you.
