My First Two Weeks At HPIAM

                                                  MY FIRST TWO WEEKS AT HPIAM
Not all of my first two weeks were very nice at hpiam. My first week was horrible but the rest was okay. First of all, I had gotten horrible classes, who even takes banking, it was really bad  i had never really done anything to change something. But this time I knew I didn't deserve to be in the classes I was in. So I went to Ms.Porter and filled out a request sheet to get  new classes. I didn't see any progress the next day and I was very desperate, so i brought my parents in to this. After my dad had a conference with Mr.R, believe it or not, I switched the very next day. Now I was happy because I was in the honors classes where I'm supposed to be. At first I thought the school was horrible, because I was getting mixed in with kids that were about 4 years older than me in most of my classes. After being changed I saw how good the school was. Now I actually enjoy coming to school and spending time working with friends, new ones included. My first english teacher didn't have much patience, neither did my Spanish teacher. But now i have Ms,Pinto, who has much patience but doesn't need it because all kids there are honors and don't misbehave. My brothers had told me that high school was gonna be alot worse than it actually is. When i got into my honors classes i was glad to see some of my old friends from middle school here. I also got to see some friends that I hadn't seen since elementary school. My friend James, who I hadn't seen for three years is in Libra but, we try to walk home together every day or at least most days. When I first got here, and still to this day, many seniors ask me if i want to join the football team, which I would like to join but can't because my parents won't let me. But i do plan to join the basketball team, which is really hard to do. Over all I think HPIAM is a way better school than libra and ssj, It's for sure better than other high schools like Huntington Park High School and Southgate High. I really enjoy my last class of the day which is New Media with Mr.Haymore. The class is very peaceful and you have time to improve your typing skills to the point where you don't have to look at the screen anymore.

Opticians

                                            Optician

Duties and responsibilities: An optician’s job is to design measure and adapt lenses and frames for clients according to their written optical prescription. They must measure the size of eyeglasses and coordinate frames with facial and eye measurements and optical prescription. They must also adjust frame and lens position to fit client.

Salary:  An optician’s average salary is around $35,710 a year. That is more than a phlebotomist and an occupational therapy assistant.

Education: While some opticians enter the profession with only high school diplomas, most employers prefer applicants with opticianry certificates or associate’s degrees. Associate’s degree programs in opticianry prepare students with the job skills needed for an entry-level position in the field. Courses may include optical theory ophthalmic dispensing lens technology, finishing procedures and an optical laboratory.  Opticians may also gain training through apprenticeship programs, which are often offered by large employers and tend to last two or more years.

Reflection: I would not like to be an optician because I feel like, although it does help people, that it would be a boring job. I’ve had many experiences with opticians because my brother has very bad eye sight and almost every optician we’ve gone to, has been very cranky. Maybe it’s just my experiences with them but , otherwise, I’d still prefer to be an electronic engineer.
