Is War Human Nature?By HTH Student Journalist Lucía C. López The world is at a fork in the road at the moment. Countries are at odds with each other as we watch from abroad. At times like these, it can make one wonder, is war a part of human nature? |
|

Everything has a beginning, including war. An article from ScientificAmerican.com reports evidence of conflict between societies dating all the way back to 12,000 BC in Egypt. The article also reports more concrete evidence of war within communities located in Europe dating back to 9700 BC after the Ice Age. The beginning of war is fuzzy since conflict begins at different times varying by location. However, ScientificAmerican.com explains that war was not always what we know it as today.

What is your advice for the incoming 9th grade HTH students?
These things are the advice I received from my dad, advice is to please remain organized and use Google calendar, put down every class and event and write out how long it will take, then put each assignment down and put what time you going to do each one and how long it will take. Don't be afraid to questions or ask for help, most people will have the same question, nobody has full knowledge of something when you first learn a subject, and when something is confusing or you don't fully understand the concept yet it is very important to ask the teachers to clarify so you can learn more and continue to grow and learn. Here is a quote I found about Knowledge and learning that I think many of you would greatly value "Knowledge, I will continually seek opportunities For learning and growth" (D&C 88:118) Never be afraid to ask for feedback, from your teachers in fact every time you turn in an assignment make sure to ask your teachers for feedback on where to improve because when you ask for feedback you have the opportunity to grow and improve. |

 | | Congratulations to our first CARPE/CABE Parent Leadership Project cohort! Parents from HTH International and HTH participated in a 12-week 2-hour evening course after their long day of work hours! What inspiration, what an admiration for them to give their time to learn about what it takes to navigate the school systems to create a positive bridge to higher education after graduating from high school. |
