Another part of learning is learning happi- ness. These special moments when you feel well loved or very peaceful are just as much a part of learning as science or social stud- ies. You learn what it is to be human. You learn what is is to be alive. You learn to understand yourself. If you stimulate learn- ing, you can find an answer. And with that answer you can find happiness.

Learning is an everyday exper- inece. As students, we learn to believe in our ideas, to see through falsehoods, to criticize and to respect ourselves, and to take an interest in our educa- tion. Hicksville High has proved to be a unique school, for we, the students, have been able to criticize past learning, to make suggestions for better education in the future, and to see our sug- gestions turn into realities. Both our school and commu- nity have respected our opinions whether it dealt with petitions for the budget, a general atti- tude towards Hicksville High education, or suggestions for upcoming years. The unique learning experience of Hicksville High is students and facutly dis- cussing sex education at a Roundtable meeting or an edito- rial in the Comet newspaper concerning student’s opinions of the general faculty. The true val- ue of learning is learning how to learn, and we have done just that at Hicksville High. 20 LEARNING
