Life Planning Goals Journal Testimonial

May 24, 2016

From Alfonso Lua, UCLA student, former HPIAM student:

My Life planning book has been vital in guiding me to achieve my goals. It’s a great way to acknowledge your deficiencies and work to improve on them. Having a goal in mind sets you apart from most individuals who do not have a path or a goal. It makes you competitive but also allows you to accomplish your dreams.

One goal I wrote down on my life planning book was to make the UCLA Speech & Debate team roster. I worked hard and tirelessly to improve my public speaking skills and develop my debating skills as well. Successfully, before the turn of the new year I was placed on the debate roster. This is a true testament to the power of writing down a goal.

Reading and updating your life planning book is a great way to help clarify some of your important priorities. It will help ensure that you don’t live with regrets. It will also maintain a balance within your life. I encourage you to continue to update your life planning books so that you can accomplish what matters most.

One last piece of advice I would like to offer is to be ready to sacrifice what you are to what you want to become.

Best wishes to the class of 2016 … and to Mr. Haymore for helping guide this generation and equipping them with important knowledge that will be vital in their future endeavors

Cheers,

Academic Champions 

     

Would you like to be a champion quickly? You and all  students can be champions at HPIAM--Academic Champions! 

In athletics, there is only one champion such as the wrestling champion, the swimming champion, or the football team champions. Problem is that not all students are on the wrestling team, or the swimming team, or the football team; therefore, if you aren’t on one of the teams, you can’t be a champion…WRONG!

You can be one of the greatest champions of all: the Academic Champion. All students can be Academic Champions. If all students work hard and become Academic Champions, then all students tie for first place, the number 1 position; there is no second place winner because all are winners and champions.

No matter what your current academic achievement level is, you can instantly become a member of that elite club, the Academic Champion Club, by attending school every day, respecting all your teachers, obeying all the school rules and regulations, and by working super hard like a Mount Everest Student. Once you become a member of the Academic Champion Club, you can be a lifetime member by continuing to pursue your education and seeking to make all A’s. Hard work is the key requirement for membership in the Academic Champion Club and perpetual hard work keeps your membership up-to-date.

“If you can DREAM it, you can DO it."

                                   Walt Disney

Don’t miss out. Join the Academic Champion Club today and commit to lifetime membership through persistent, hard work. Be an Academic Champion, NOW, and be the type of champion that matters! 

Random Acts of Kindness

National Random Acts of Kindness Day

Wednesday February 17, 2016

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Participate in the National Random Acts of Kindness Day by doing many simple acts of kindness to others. Open the door for someone, pick up someone's dropped book, give someone a hug, write a thank you or appreciation note or send a text message, make a new friend, give sincere compliments, give someone a flower, tell someone you appreciate them, do chores at home without being told, etc.

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad." 

Abraham Lincoln

Kindness: Help Others Feel Important

"Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, Make Me Feel Important. Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life."
Mary Kay Ash

Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is having passion, zeal, zest, excitement, interest, and energy. For example, "He did his work with energy and enthusiasm."  Constant enthusiasm gets you to the top of the student success pyramid. You feel much better about yourself when you enthusiastically work hard, work smart, and work together with your classmates, teachers and others. Students with lazy bones don't accomplish much.

How do you become enthusiastic? You become enthusiastic by "Acting Enthusiastic." If you act enthusiastic then you will be enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is the major difference between being an Academic Champion or not. Be enthusiastic and Be Great!!

"The longer I live, the more certain I am that enthusiasm is the little recognized key to success."

Frederick Williamson

Enthusiasm

"I will keep pegging away."

Abraham Lincoln

Larry Bird worked so hard. He persisted day-after-day and kept pegging away. For every shot he scored in a game, 1 million practice shots preceded it.
