I’ve meat many people really good friends and I like HPIAM because the career I want to take is the medical field , to become a doctor .What I like about my classes is that I learn a lot of new things .My favorite class is Spanish and new media why? Because In new media I learn a lot of careers there is in the medical field and all the types of doctors there is, and what I like about my Spanish class, like I like to travel I learn where there is many countries states and cities, I learn what are their cultures, traditions and many others things that involve with their traditions.

 The reason why I choose HPIAM to be my school was because I want to be doctor and because I want to go into the medical field. My experience so far in this school has been really good because I made new friend meet new people and new everything teachers, school, and much more things .And I would like to stay here at Lind Marquez High school HPIAM program for all my four years of high school. This school is like a challenge for me to know what it is like to be in the medical field, and want to see if I’m going to be able to handle the medical field.

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

                           Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection:
What this quote is trying to say is that whenever you are doing something you should always do the right thing never do what is wrong because once you do what’s wrong that wrong has consequences. For example, if you do what is write you won’t see any consequences if you do what is wrong you will see consequences.
                            Summary

                      The Sting of the Scorpion

The lesson that I was thought in this story was that always listen do directions and obeys your parents when they tell you to do the right thing cause if you don’t what is right you are going to have consequences. Like the little boy in this story he was told to do something and didn’t choose the right he had to pay the consequences. He stinted by a scorpion.
