winter break time wisely

1. Wake up early. nothing eats away winter break the moping around beneath in the covers. decide the prevouis day when you will get out of bed, then make sure follow through.
 during the few days of vacation, chances are that you will relish the opportunity to sleep in. it's okay to do this and give yourself a break, because your body will naturally put itself on a schedule to wake itseld up earlier.
2. Maintain good health and hygiene. brush your teeth and bathe often. make sure to use sunblock even in the cold , and remeber that the only healthy tan is a spray-on! winter is a great time to get in shape, or stay in shape. Consider joining a sport, or at the very least get outside and have fun everyday.
3.Study. particularly if you are a high school student, studying remains essential even though the school year is in short recess. look over last years notes or do some reasearch into what next years courses have in store. when school resumes you will be glad  that your academic knowledge and skills have not detoriated you will be ready and not panicking that you don't know something. most of you already know if you have homework reading or toher research stay on top of it. you will be grateful when you return to school. keep your brain active. read for school or pleasure, research your own interests or even just a crossword puzzle.
4. Follow a routine. however loose the structure will both motivate you and keep hours spent doing nothing to a minimum. don't play to many video games and even if it might be cold go out for a few hours every week.
5. Join a volunteer group of some sort. all communities have some sort of soup kitchen, or place where someone might need your help or you can start working  on finding leads for the community service you will have to do in the future to graduate. you can help out in church, or other place in the city. you will stay in contact with friends, have a great sense of accomplishment, stay active and even help others.
6. Start a summer job. this may differ depending on your age. however, make sure that it's age-appropriate and that you will follow through. some ideas might be working at a swapmeet, babysitting, lawn care or getting a lead in future job.
7. Go to a camp or learn something new
8. stay active in your society.
9.Read at least one book.

Advisory questions on U.S.

1. What direction do you see the U.S. going? Why is is going this direction?

I see the U.S. going neither a good outcome or bad outcome because there is always going to be good days and nor bad days that have to deal with the government or the people.

2. Why do SAT scores in the U.S. continue to go downward?

I think this occurs because people are starting not to care about their education so they ar ebeing lazy and not trying hard to pass tests that they don't really care about other stuff.

3. What are solutions to low SAT scores?

I think that people should take their education serouisly because that is what will take them far in life.

4. Make a bullet list of a few problems with education in CA.


  • Students are lazy
  • Teachers making the class boring
  • Need to make education fun in a way
  • Classes being to long that students die of boredom
5. What are solutions to the CA education problems?

I personally think think should make more effort in making school fun something students want to wake up in every morning and be glad about coming to school. Not to make it fun to where it goes out of control but making leatrning interesting.

6. "To educate a man in mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society." (Theodore Roosevelt)
write a reflection on this quote

Reflection: this quote basically means if you are going to teach someone teach them everything they have to learn and know just not the basics so they could truly know what they learned is always going to be remember by them.

S.S.S. Advisory

Student Success Statement

"It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference."-Paul "Bear' Bryant

Reflection: This baiscally states that just by one saying they will accomplish this means it will happen. But by them sticking to it and showing that they really want to get to where they want makes them get there.

ADVISORY

HPIAM Data

-FACT: 34% of HPIAM students have a below a 2.0 GPA
-Why is this a worrying statistic?
      -Will not graduate
      - Parents unhappy
      - Students get held back
      - School is going to seem as if they give poorly education

Writing Prompt

-What are some specific reasons you think this is happening? How can we solve this problem(concrete ideas)?

I think this is happening because most students are lazy. It's not that they're stupid its just that they don't want too do the work because its lack of effort. Well really there is a lot of thing like tutoring is already offered maybe staying a little more in school to study and ask for help from the teachers. Maybe change the schedule a little more of less time in each class because after a while being in the class for a long time is tiring especially if it's one of those teachers that don't make the subject interesting but instead it's boring.

Next Tuesday
-Study Hall: Bring work to study or complete
-Agenda Check



Paul "Bear" Bryant

"Bear" Bryant (1913–1983)


Born in Moro Bottom, Arkansas, on September 11, 1913, Bryant was the eighth surviving child (three died at birth) of a total of nine. He had four brothers and four sisters and was the youngest boy, with one sister born four years after him. Their home was a three-square-mile area called Moro Bottom (sometimes referred to as Moro Bottoms), an unincorporated place where seven families lived.Bear Bryant played football at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. After serving in World War II, he became head coach at the University of Maryland and Texas A&M University. He is one of America's top best football coaches that at the time he reached his death he had won more games than any other coach.Under Bryant, the Alabama Crimson Tide won national titles in 1961, 1964, 1965, 1978, and 1979.  Bryant won this last championship with a perfect season, including his defeat of Lou Holtz’s Arkansas Razorbacks in the Sugar Bowl. He announced his retirement in 1982, with the Crimson Tide winning his last bowl game, the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, on December 29. 

Less than one month after winning the 1982 Liberty Bowl, sixty-nine-year-old Paul Bryant died of a heart attack. Following a funeral, which ran for three miles, he was buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Birmingham, Alabama. A month after his death, he was suprisingly awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, by Ronald Reagan. At the time of his death, he was the all-time most successful coach in American college football history.
