“The Pros and Cons of Social Media”

By: Adriana Trevino

There are a lot of different types of websites and apps involving social media. There is twitter, facebook, instagram, tumblr, and etc. It’s cool to have a social media account because that’s how you can keep contact with your friends or family that you hardly see because they live too far. It’s also fun because you can do different types of things like updating a status or sharing any pictures that want to upload. You can also message people ,like I f you don’t have a  cell phone you can just message your friends or family from your social account. The bad things about social media is that there are a lot of people that get cyber bullied and they can't do anything about. Also people can make a fake account about you or they can take some personal information you put on your account and share it to people you don't know. They can also find out your password and log in as you and do something bad in your account. Also when you get older and you try to get a job your manager or owner can look at your past history and they'll know all your personal things you put on your account since when you created it. Also Facebook or whatever social media website you use can use your information without asking or they can go into your messages and they could see who you talk to or what you tell them. They can also all the pictures you post and they can see who tags you in what picture even if you have your profile on private they can still see what you post. As you can see there are good and bad things about having a social media but before you post anything remember to think about it twice because that post can make effect you in the future.

“My Experience So Far at HPIAM”

By: Adriana Trevino

It was a big change for me to go from middle school to high school. It was really hard in the beginning to get use to this high school and how we have blocks and how we don’t have nutrient, but I’m getting use to this already. It’s been really good  being here. I also had to get use to the people I am going to be surrounded for and in the beginning I was hard because I’m a shy person but now since we been in school for over a month I’ve made friends that I didn’t talk to before. I also got use to all my teachers in each class and I’ve been trying hard to keep my grades good. It didn’t take me that long to get use to this campus because it isn’t really big and we are in academies so we have all of our classes in one floor. It’s actually a good thing that we have all of our classes on one floor because it’s easier for the students to get to their classes and not getting their late. HPIAM also has a lot things we can join or do and I think that’s good for us so we can socialize more. I enjoy this high school because it has so many things for students and they don’t keep it boring like other schools. The schedule use to be confusing but I’m already getting use to this and I actually don’t mind not having nutrient even though I was use to having it because of middle school but is actually shortens our day and I think that’s way better. This first month has been crazy with all the change but it actually isn’t that bad and I enjoy being in this high school. 

The Sting of the Scorpion

In this story it shows us how we should choose the right. Its about a kid that is in the desert with his mom and dad. His parents both kept telling him to put on his shoes when he walks around. In the desert there are a lot of things such like snakes and scorpions. One early morning the kid decides to take a walk and when you goes out to his walk he decides to put on some sandals because he believes those are shoes. He goes on his walk and while he's walking he feels a sting on his foot. He notices that he got stung by a scorpion so he yells for help and his dad takes him to the nearest hospital which is 2 hours away. When he gets to the hospital and they attend him and then they gave him some medicine to cure the pain. When he was cured he realized that he had disobeyed his parents. He knew he was lazy and he regretted not listening to his parents.

Reflection: This story shows us that if we don't do whats right to do we will suffer the consequences 100% of the time we choose the wrong. We can't never get away from doing the wrong we will always suffer.

I learned that if we chose the wrong it will come back and sting us.

At this point you should choose the right decision because if not you will suffer from your consequences.
