"Educate the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

Aristotle

Reflection: This means that even if you have the best education in the world, if you are not able to correspond in a positive way then the education would have been a waste. For example if you go to school and focus on learning and when people try to socialize with you and you decide you are better than them and shove them all then the education would have been a waste because you qualify yourself as the higher individual when everyone in reality is the same no matter the education we are all humans.

Woodrow Wilson

Reflection: When we know what is right, it is our common goal to fight for it, we don't all know what is right so we have to be told what is right before we try fighting for it.

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."

Margaret Chase Smith

Reflection: Choosing the right doesn't always mean fitting in with the crowd and being popular. It means being able to do what you believe is right even if it leaves you standing alone because only then will you feel lifted of your bad conscience.

But back to the topic my experience here has been great I have met some great people like my friend Eddie and my girlfriend Kimm and I met some cool teachers like Mr.C and I also met some annoying people like the person who sits next to me as I’m typing this. I’ve taken some really hard classes. One of the hardest classes I have taken so far is Physiology it takes biology to the extreme. Another difficult course I have taken is Theatre, you need to really let go and throw yourself at the play whether it goes from playing a bush in the background or the heroic hero who saves the damsel in distress. It really takes a lot of effort. One of my experiences, was learning how to choose the right from Mr.Haymore and learning how to life the high way and not the low way in life. In total my experiences here at HPIAM has been great and hard, I have met some very friendly teachers and strict ones as well.

I have learned different ways to view life and also ways to make life better for me and others by choosing the right no matter how hard it might be always choose the right in your life.
