HTH students spend 4-5 weeks working in an organization or business to gain experience. These experiences help students decide their career path, explore passions, gain experience and stories for college essays, network and much more. Here are some examples of what our students are doing this year! 12th grade Endersession:  RJ White, who is interning with a financial analyst in downtown San Diego. Andrea Baez, Julianna Mendez - research into treatments for addiction - Skaggs Institute for chemical biology Rachel Warrens - JP Longball  Noah Ahrens - Pride, marketing   Irwin, Nathan, Nate, and Ethan creating art at HTH Jonas Jacobs working at the Makerspace as a general workspace manager and teacher. He's also designing and creating his own projects there.  11th grade Internships:  Lily Tran learns about marine biology and community outreach and education during her internship with Ocean Discovery Institute Alex Lopez interns with Clearview Marine Canvas and hits the water with his mentor week one!  Stephanie Cortez-Bruno works with her mentor at The Studio Door, a gallery and studio collective in Hillcrest.  Inclusion specialists Shawn, Judy and Ashlen talked to parents about Parenting The Positive Discipline Way. Helpful hints for empowering versus enabling.  These are enabling responses: 1. Doing too much for them 2. Giving them too much  3. Bribing versus rewarding  4. Overprotecting  5. Hovering   Our definition of empowering is turning over control to your kids so they have power over their own lives.  These are empowering responses: 1. Show faith in your child  2. Respect privacy 3. Express your limits 4. Listen without fixing, discounting or judging 5. Control your own behavior To read the rest of this important presentation, click here.    HTH Teachers enjoy lunch brought in by HTH student Dania Castillo's family from Arrivederci Restaurant in Hillcrest. Thank you!    Congratulations to 11th grade HTH student Aaron Price!
