Donte' Stokes

To be a friend you have to be cool, leveled, funny, and friendly.
A friend is someone you spend a lot of time with. An associate is
someone you talk to every once in a while. My best friend is this
dude named Nico. I don't think there is nothing Iwouldn't do for
my nigga Nico.

KRYSTAL NAYLOR

I accomplish being on the basketball team, the softball team, the ping pong team in 5th grade. i also accomplish raising my son cassius even though my family and friends helped me. i also accomplish getting arrested, getting sent to the ide home even though i didn't like it. i accomplish graduating out of 8th grade even though i had my son at the age of 13 i was a struggling mother at a young age. but cassius father was there throughtout my pregnancy. but these are some things i accomplish in life.

Malcolm Carr

In order to be A friend you must be able to hang out with each other and have fun together.
The difference between a friend an associate is that an associate is someone you talk to.
A friend you spend time with and is always there for you.

Britney johnson

To be a friend means to have trust in them 2 tall them everything. To do things with you like hang out or to comfort tham when they was feeling down.The difference betweena best friend and an associate.is a best friend is smoeone that you tell everything to and is happy to see them. An associate is someone you just say hi or bye to.I really dont have best friendI just have friends. If I did have a best friend then I wouldnt do that much for them just enough to show them that I'm a true friend.

Terrell Taylor

A friend is someone you can kick it with all the time with no BS.
A associate is someone you can just talk to . but a best friend is
has to be someone you can trust, has to bo down with you and
someone you can always be around without being tried of them
. That is what I think is a friend and a best friend.

Ashley Barber

A friend to me is person thats there for you no matter what.A person that got your back and be in the face of danger with you.A person you can enjoy being around someone you can relate to and tell things to when usually you keep to yourself.A person that will take a bullet for you.Someone you do eveything with and don't snitch.On the other hand an a asssociate to me is a friend wanna be.Just someone thats there when your friend ain't around and feel like dealing with them for the moment.Someone you say hi and bye to.Someone thats cool but you don't know if they going to be a snitch or not.

Britney johnson

My biggest accomplishement was making it to see another day. It was about having another chance on earth. To see the day I turned 15and16.My biggest accomplishment was to never drop out make it to the eight grade and graduate and I did.I accomplished all I need toin my life besides being what I want to be and that is a singer. Thats the only thing that I havent accomplished. But I have fate that one day I will.But so far everything that I need to do has been accomplished.

Swanda Friend
what it means to be a friend is someone whos always their for you no matter what happens or what comes your way an the difference between a associcate an a friend is that an associate is someone that you speak to every now an than an a friend is someone that your alwys hangin out with or just kickin it together an my best friend is my sister shavanna the only thing that i wouldn't do for is do her chorses around the house

BRITTANY TAYLOR

TO ME A FRIEND IS A COOL PERSON WHO GOT YOUR BACK. SOMEONE YOU GET ALONG WITH AND LIKE TO BE AROUND. AND A PERSON YOU CAN TELL ANYTHING AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER TELLING NOBODY. A ASSOCIATE IS SOMEONE YOU JUST SAY HI TO AND TALK TO FOR A MINUTE. A BEST FRIEND IS A PERSON WHO YOU CAN BE HONEST WITH SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST.

Ashely Barber
my biggest accomplishment in my life is that i started my own dance team. An also still in good health with no kids.

Telisa Poole

A friend to me is someone you can count on to be there for you during the good time and the bad times . Somone that you get in trouble with, someone who won't betray you, or that's not two faced. A friend is someone that you tell stuff to that you don't tell your own parents, finally most importantly is someone that got you're back and ride or die friend.
An associcate is somone you just say hi and bye too.

Mysha Moody
What should it mean to be a friend.............A friend is some one who listens and tells you the truth about everything even if it will hurt your feelings an associate is someone who you just kick it with and talk about the usual and regular I would do a lot for a friend like the the other day me and my friends we fighting side by side by side I would have my friend back through thick & thin that is the difference between a frind an a associate.....................

Emily Webster

To me a friend is some body who's there when you need them.When you don't feel right or you have a problem they are all ways there for you. Just like my friends Brandi, Laura, Teonna and the whole diamon and dub crew.The difference between an associate an a friend is that a friend want betray you like and associate would. I would do a whole lot for my friends, i treat them like they are my sisters.That's what a friend really mean to me.

Teonna Chism

My biggest accomplishment in my life is going to school I try to keep my grades up I dont ditch school and I stay on my grind I focus a little on what I have to do I try to obey and work on how I act but so far that is what I accomplished.........................

BRITTANY TAYLOR

MY BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS WHEN I GOT A DIVORCE WITH THIS LAME PERSON NAME CAMERON CURRIE. HE WAS THE WORSE HUSBAND I EVER HAD THE PROBLEM WAS THAT HE WAS STILL ACTING LIKE A LITTLE BOY AND DIDN'T STEP UP TO THE PLATE. HE NEVER TOOK ME KNOW WHERE HE DIDN'T HAVE NO MONEY NO JOB JUS T A DUMB BUM THATS HOW I CALL IT. NOW THAT WE ARE DIVORCED I'M VERY HAPPY I LEFT THAT LITTLE BOY BEHIND. I HOPE HE GROW UP IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE TO ME HE WILL NEVER CHANGE. BUT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE APART I WILL TRULY MISS HIM AND THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

Cameron Currie

My best accomplishment was when I divorced this stupid,dumb girl name BRITTANY TAYLOR, that was the best day of my life because she was getting on my nerves, I wanted to hurt her because everytime her nagging voice got in my ear it was horrible and she was the most irritating person alive. Also, she was too much of a flurt anyway because one time I saw her with this dude and I should've got it over with right then and there but I wanted to see what type of lame excuse she come up with but it was some good times like when we were talking it was cool but I know she still miss me.

Terrell Taylor

My biggest accomplishment in my life thus far is, when I first started
varsity. I'm still a sophomore but when our starting went down and
got hurt, I filled in his spot and we won the next game. That was not
my accomplishment untill later on in the year. Later on in the year
a game away from the playoffs our fullback got hurt. My coach told
me for a big guy I had speed and quickness. We had lost the next game
but the very next game we had a rival game against king and blew them
out 35 to 0. after that we lost the next game and the season was over. We
didn't win but we made it far and made me proud. that is my greatest
accomplishment thus far.

Teonna Chism

my biggest accomplishment is what my mother has always told me to do. To never let any guy run over you and take your money but you can take his money and put him in check show him who's in charge who's wearin the pants thats my biggest accomplishment know what u know about that.

If you could travel anywhere in time, where would you go? why?

Tuesday, April 25, 2006

Catrice Williams
If I could travel anywhere in time, I would go back three years. I would go back three years from the time I was born which would take me back to 1986. If I went back three years I could have helped my sister from making all them bad choices in life(all her mistakes). I could have saved her from getting shot. I could've stopped her from dropping out of school. But if I could travel back in time I would go back to the year of 1986.

If i could go back in time i would go back to the 70s.
I don't like Bellbottoms on men ,but I woud rather go back to the 70s .
In the 70s, thats was when black people came out and showed everybody ,who they were.
black people came out and showed their style ,music ,and culture.

Britney Colvin

I would travel to late 1800s, why to see how things were functioning back then and
how were people were getting treated back then. I wonder if things thats that were standing
then are still standing today.

Latrice Williams If time could go back I would go to 1983. The reason I said 1983 is because
I could be out of high school and I would be in college and I would have a
nice job. I would be able to go to the club and then when I get out of
college I could become a lawyer.

tammy montgomery

If i could travel in time I would go to the future. i would go to the futureto see how my life would be .i would correct all the mistakes i'd made if i made any. then i would go to the past to correct all my mistakes i'd made.

Lacole Anderson

If i could travel anywhere in time, i would travel back to
March,3 2006. I would travel back to that day because thats the day my sister
StarKeisa Marie Reed was shot and killed by looking out her window just before
she was finna come to school. And if i go back in time i could have save her from looking out the window and she could have still been alive and making people laugh and smile, and fell more confident then now. So if I could go back in time I would go back to March 3 2006 to save my shining star.

Wyzell Boddy

If I had a time machine I'd go into the future to see how life is with more technology. The more technology evolve the more life will get easier. When technology gets greater everyone will have a great life. Going into the future will tell me if my generation survive. Also how the world will lokk many years later.

Kwame Patterson

If I could travel in time I would go to the Future something like the year 3000 to see what life will be like if it would be the same as now or more advance. I don't know if I would stay there. I want to know if cars will fly or be the same as now. That is what I would want to do if I could travel in time.

Cortez Jones if i could travel back in time i would back to the 80s because it seems like a good time period when things were better cheaper and more fun but how would i know if i wasnt there.

russell williams

if i could travel back in time i would go back to when my mom was a child so that i can convince her not to have kids so she can persue her basketball career.

Latese Hudson

If i could travel in time i would like to go about two generations older than me. I would like to go there because that's when hip-hop started. I was born in the 80s. I would have liked to be a teenager in the 80s and that means i would be grown right now.

Joseph Dobine

Of I could go back in time I would go to the 1980's. I would go there cause most thing's were started in the streets then and I would just want to see how it was.

Demeisco Ford

Well if i could go back in time i would go back to the time when black people were treated the worst. To begin with today black people don't understand their history so that's why i would go black to that time.

Dorian Henley

If I could travel in time I would go back in time so i could hang with all the old guys and get as much wisdom as i could. Then I would know the ropes and know what to do and what not in the streets.

By:Ciarra Pryor
I i could go anyplace back in time would be in the 70's. When they use to swing dance. Why because i would like to see it for myself instead of seeing it on tv or in movies. I want to see it for my self. I would also like to go back into the days when all the good singers came out like the Temptations, Smokie robinson, and every body and the # 1 person is AL green. I would like to go into the future to see what my life would be like and what every one else would be like. What kind of job they would have and how their children would be like i would like to go a lot of places but i wont put it all on paper i'll just keep it in my head for now.

Anthony Turner

If I could travel in time I would go back to the year I was born and follow through to see where I made many mistakes and missed major opportunities. Fix everything, so everything in the present would be alright and I wouldn't regret anything in my life.

Tykee Hills
If I could travel in time I would travel to the future.I would travel to the future because I would love to see how the world be in ten years.I think in the next ten years the world would be worser than it is today.I feel that the death rate will be up by a high percantage.Thats why I will travel to the future.

Demetrius Johnson
If i could travel in a time I would go to the 70s because it looked like it was fun back then.

michael holman
I would travel back when i got an f in biology and geometry.To make it up.I was doing very poor in both classes.t wasn't doing any work.I was talkingto other classmate.Wasn't tring to do any work.

david morrow if i can travel in time

i would go back four years and stop my self and
find out what i did worng in the first place and
i would stay with my ex girlfriend and i would travel
in the furher and see what was the out come was would be of my
life

Johnny Davis

I would travel to the future so I can see how the world would end up. I would want to know how they dress and how they would act. I would want to know if they would have made robots or hovored cars, I would also want to know when the world would end.

Jammal Fisher

Well i will travel ahead of time so i could see how im living in the future. If I don't like how i'm living then when the time come I will make sure that I will be on point.

TASHA POINTER

There are so many different places i would like to go, i would like to review my futuer to see what god has planned foe me, i wanna see what type of person i would turn out to be, and how many kids i would have and who my husband would be, i want to also travel to outter space and see what the other planets look like, i wanna know if there is something else living on those planets, and lastly i would go back in time and chand my past and see my sister starkesia once again and avoid the accident so she can be living today.

Derrick Hearns:

If I could travel back into time I think I would. I would travel back to the 15 century were the great music were written. Since I like to listen to classical music I would go back to here the choral choirs sing specific songs called madrigals.

Derek Middleton
If I could travel back in time I would go to the Bulls game when they won their first championship. I never got a chance to see Michael Jordan play in person.

Jasmine Watson

If I could travel anywhere in time it would be back before my father died. I would try to make him eat healthy, so he would've died from a heart attack. I would have helped him more and probably would have helped him try to find his own place, so he wouldn't be having all that stress when he got home and stuff, so that's where I would want to go if I could travel back in time.

Krystal Durr
If I could travel time where would you go?

If I could travel back in time I would go back in Africa when Steven Biko was trying to change Africa. The reason I would want go back to Africa in that time because in that time Africa there was an lot of racism going on and hatred from whites. I would want to live in Africa just to see what they went through at that time. I would want to be apart of that era when Steven Biko was taken over trying to save his people. I would want to be around Steven Biko because he was such an intelligent and outspoken man. If I could back in time I would go to Africa.

Renita Craft

If I could travel in time I would travel back to the 70s when my mother was a young girl so I could see how she looked and acted.

Mary Thomas
If I could travel back in time, I would be in the 90s. The reason why I want to travel back in the 90s because I miss being little. I miss getting picked up by my dad. Now I am getting bigger I can't get picked up no more. I am not trippin though. Also alot of fun things happened that year too that's another reason why I want to travel in the 90s. So I told you where I wanted to travel and why.

Tatiana Lewis

If I could travel back in time i would travel to the middle ages where they had knights and swords and you see it on tv and you wonder if it is real, like they had to save prince or princesses.another place i would travel to is when thomas edison invented the light, i want to see how he lived and what he did and what made him invent the things he invented.

Sharocka Malone

If i could go back in time i would go back to when i was born because the story my mother told me about when i was born i liked that story very much she told me how i use to get any and everything i won'ted and I won't to see how that feel again i miss those times so that's why i won't to go back to when i was born.

Kenyetta Mosley
If I could travel back in time, I would go back to the time I had ran awy from home for no reason in the summer. I had got in alot of trouble and got my phone taken away from me. The reason that I think i did it was because I was getting tired of the way that I was being treated at home, so I went to a friend house. I didn't mean to do what I did and I rally regret it. I was threatened to be sent to one of those juvenile homes that they had sent my cousin to for 6 months.

Keaira Boulden
If i could travel in time i really dont have anywhere i would want to go. But i do want to go to london and see how they live and the types of food that they eat or whatever see what the people are like in london. And maybe if i like it i a move there, and have a real big house so when my family come to visit me then so everyone could have some where to sleep and each room have there own space to be comfortable. they would have there own bathroom and covers to change if they like. And thats where i want to go and have a blast.

Shiquita Davis

If I could travel back into time I would want to travel into the 70's. The 70's looked like it was real fun, they party all the time you didn't have to worry about so much violence as you do now. Everybody were friends with each other. I like the clothes they were and the jewelry

By:Jennifer Buchanan

If I could travel back in time, I think I would go to Africa during slavery time to get a better idea as to how blacks were treated. I know people talk about it everyday, but I want to see for myself exactly how things really went. It's hard for me to understand exactly how they were treated because I didn't have a chance to be in their shoes. I know that blacks are still being treated somewhat unequal,but it has gotten a little better since slavery time. There will be a change, I am not going to give up hope.

Danielle McNulty if you could travel in time, where would you go? why?
If I could travel back in time I would go to the ancient times in Eygpt. the reason why i would go back that far is because i would like to see the kings and queens and learn there customs and just find out what kind od people they really was.

Kenneth Anderson

If I could travel back in time, I wouldn't even consider going back to any time in any place. I mean, obviously, there will be consequences for going back and meddling with something. I wouldn't want to disturb anything and have it effect my time, the present. The slightest screw up could effect my present time in either a positive or very negative way. I would definitely not go back in time.

Garrick Mosley

If i could travel in time i would go back to the 20s because i want to see what it is like.Iwant to see what was going on back in the 1920s.what they did for a living and how they spent there spare time.what was they money like and what they spend there money on

If you could travel in time, where would you go? Why?
Delisa Edwards

If i could travel back in time to a place i would go to the times when blacks were fighting for equal rights. I think that it is such a important event to be in. I would love to be apart of helping fight for blacks equal right. I really do think that i could have helped to make a difference in the fight.

What is the worst punishment you have ever recieved?

-Chanel Robinson

The worst punishment that I ever received was, when I was in 8th grade some friends and I decided that we didn't want to go to school, so we planned to ditch at my friend Octavia's house. We all meet up at the corner store and went to her house. Little did we know when we were at the store our teacher saw us. Man she called all our houses and told our parents. When I got home my mother was waiting for me with a tree branch. Man that's a punishment I'll never forget.

YashikaWalker:

the worst punishment that i ghave ever reciecieved was one time when i was younger and i couldn't have boy phone calls and this boyu out of my class got my number out of one of my friends notebook and he called my house i was so scared and at first my mother did not say anything and my aunt taht waas visiting from out of town said taht my mom shouldn't be allowed to have boys calling me at such a young age anyway to make a long storry short i got on punishment and i couldn't stay out for my b-day i had to come straight in the house taht was the worst punishment ever.

Chackita Slater 1st period:The worst punishment i have ever recieved was a hot and boring punishment. I had to stay in the house the whole summer for what i did. When i was in the sixed grade i kissed my boyfriend on the lips. it was like a little peck. My momma gave me a choice to either stay in the house or get a whoppin. I chose to stay in the house, thinking that it was only for that day, but little did i know it was for the whole hot summer. After that summer i hated boys and as much as they talked to me i never listened.

Fanchon Hall 4-19-06

In 10 years I'll be 26 years old . I'll be still living in Chicago, but in my own apartment. For the first five years, I'll be working in someone else's shop brading hair and during the other five years me and other family members are planning to open up our own shop. The main things that I would have accomplished out of life is to be able to take care of my child and finally open up a family shop.

Laquisha Murphy.
The wrost punishment that i ever had was when i let my boyfriend put hickes on my neck my uncle woop me and i was on punishment for the whole summer and when i say the whole summer it really was the whole summer and when i got off the punishment i had to write a paper on why a young girl should not have sex and then he let me get off punishment.

Dalila Austin - April 24, 2006

- The worst punishment I ever had was coming to Harper. It was my choice to come here, but it's not that bad, but if I had made other choices in grammar school, I would have probably went to another High School.

Fanchon Hall 4-24-06

The worst punishment I received was when I got hit with a blind pole by my mother. Alsoo I had no telephone calls and no outside for almost two weeks. I was being punished because I was outside 1 o'clock in the morningwith some boys.

Darnell Gowdy

The worst punishment I ever recieved is after I tried to run away from home. My mother was mad and dissapointed in me She said the farthist I could go was to the porch to my room it was the summer. That was hard to watching everyone playing while I was sitting there looking sad.

JannaSwan:My worst punishment was when my mama told me to be in the house at 12am. But me being the hard-headed little girl that I was I came in the house at 2am. My mama was so mad but she didn't give me a whippen just then she waited until I went to sleep and whipped me with a wet towel. I feel that my mama was wrong for giving me a whippen, but its okay I lived.

Isaac Smith

My worst punishment was when I had boot camp for the whole summer down in Joliet and was punished to get up every morning at 5 do a hundred push ups and sit ups each morning.

The worst punishment I ever recieved was when me and my brother was fighting and I put a big whole in the hallway wall, she gave me a wooping and she put me on punishment and I couldn't go outside for two weeks that was the worst punishment I ever gotten and I was mad because my brother did not get in trouble.

Dalre McCauley:
My worst punishment was when my older brother and I had to whoop each other with fly swatters. Earlier that day My brother and i were fighting so the babysitter told my grandma. When she got home she told us that she was to tired to whoop us so we had to do it ourselves. My brother didn't want to hurt me so he was hitting me soft but on the other hand a I didn't want to get in trouble for not doing what I was told so I was hitting him hard. We both was crying but he was in way more pain then I was. After the whooping was over my brother wouldn't talk to me because I was hitting him to hard. For me that was the punishment because me brother and I were really close and him not talking to me hurt my feelings.

TASHA POINTER

The worst punishment i ever recieved was when my uncle cought me and my cousins down stairs smoking a cigirette. He went up stairs and told my grandma and granddad and we got a beating of our lives, thats the worst punishment i ever recieved because me and my brother were good kids, thats the only bad thing we did.

Ronesha Johnson 4/24/06

The worst punishment I ever had was when I got on punishment for the whole summer for standing on the porch. My aunts didnt want anyone standing on their porch especially me because they say that I attract attention. So one day, they drove up and saw me standing on the porch and they put me on punishment. That was one of the dumbest punishment I ever received.

Scott Collier:

My worst punishment is when my mom stopped me from going to the ice cream truck. I had just told my big brother that i hate him. So my mom fussed at me, normally she give me ice cream after she yell's at me........not this time. I asked for some Ice cream and she said "no"!!!!! But she was smart she knew that I HAD MY OWN MONEY, and that the ice cream truck comes at 3:30 everyday. So my mom kept me in the house til 4:00 so i couldn't buy any. I WAS SO MAD!!!!!!!!

Byron Preston
The worst punishment I ever received was when my grandma told me to wash her car and after I was done I drove the car around the block. At first it was just me in the car but when it was all said and done it was six of ours. I did the stupidest thing. I drove up my block to pick my friend Devon and his little sister saw me pick him up and she told her grandma that I was driving my grandma car. Her grandma call my grandma and asks if she knew I had her car and my grandma told her I was washing it and she told her that I had just pick her grandson up on the front. My granddaddy then came outside and by then I had park it back. He asks me if I had been driving the car and I said no and she call Devon over and Devon told him that we was in someone else car. They call Devon’s grandma and she come over with Devon and they asks him again and he said no again but Devon grandma told him that if he stand up their and lie she would beat him to death. He said he was not lying so they left. His grandma call one of the other guys that was in the car and he said I was driving the car so Devon had to come back over to say sorry for lying to my grandma about me driving. He got on punishment for a month and I got on punishment until school start back.

My worst punishment was when I was little and my mother told me not have company in the house. And instead of listening to her I went on ahead and had company anyway. Then when she came home me and my freinds was in the house watching tv. She told my freinds to leave then she had whoop me. And put me on punishment for a week.

Erica Pugh

Danielle Smith: 4/24/06
My worst punishment was when I was 13 years old. My mamma put me on punishment for the rest of the year. It was November so it wasn't hard ot be on punishment. It was cold and it was no where that I want to go. The reason why I got in trouble I can't tell. The that was about the worst.

Gerard Stewart

The worst punishment i've ever recieved was when i was eleven i had got blamed for set a garbage can on fire in the alley that caught on to a fence and set the fence on fire i had got a whooping and i got on punishment for a month i was punished because everybody thought i did it when i really didn't do it

Latavier Wilson:

The worst punishment I ever recieved is when I was 15 years old. There was a party down the street from my house and I really wanted to go, but my mother said that I couldn't. So I waited until I thought she was sleep and I went to the party it was the worst night of my life. My mother showed up at the party. She drug me out of the party in front of all my friends and I was on punishment for a week. I think that was the worst punishment I ever recieved, because everyone saw me get in trouble.

Denise Hearns per1 4/24/06

My worst punishment was when I got a whooping for going outside when my mom was gone. I wasn't suppose to be outside but, I was. My mom had seen me outside playing with my friend. I tried to run when I saw her. It was too late because she had seen me already and I got a whooping. I never really did anything to get a bad punishment because I stay to myself all the time.

The worsrt punishment I ever recieved was when I got on punishment for a day but I still went outside. I don't remember what I did so I can't say what really happen so I just can't think back that far.

Marvin Gayden

The worst punishment I ever had was when I was twelve years old and I went outside when my mother told me not to and I stayed out real late and when I got in the house my mom told me to get in the bathtub. When I was ready to get out the tub I had called my mom for a towl and when she came in she whiped me while I was still wet. That was the worst punishment I ever had.

i think that haper is not a bad school. they just have people that dont care about the school. the reason i say that is becaue the people in the school throw book out the windown they run teacher away they do evrething to make this school bad all they to do is get the gang out the school . and then we will have a good school. now from the outside it my look like the school is bad but it not they have a lot of theacher up here that know what they is doing. and want to teach kid that want to learnd.that is how i feel abou the school.

LaCole Anderson

My school is very unpredictable! My school is Harper High School.

Our school is at the bottom. We got kids thats is smart and shouldnt be here and

we got kids that should be here. We got teacher that love to teach and some who dont

care. People hear about our school and how bad it it, and pray they wont have to come here.

Tykee Hills
Harper is an average school, it is an very old building.The building dates back to when racism was a big issue.Our school have out dated books,few band instruments,swimming pool with no water,and no air conditioning,I feel that our school need to be remodeled, maybe even relocated.I must say their are some good things abot our school, we do have some nice teachers, and some students that want to learn and go to college.These students are over shadowed by those who are disrespectful,class clowns,and disruptive.The behavior of our students give or school and community a bad name.

Wyzell Boddy

Our school isn't all that bad if you look ay it from the outside it looks nice, but when you get in and see the students its a different story. Majority of the students are bad. You can find a great student but it'll be hard. The teachers are great sometimes. The only good thing about this school is that the teachers give us easy work and a chance to bring up your grades when your down. The bad things about this school is the students, because their always fighting or their attendance is down.

Catrice Williams
Hi, I'm going to tell you about my High school. I attend Harper high School. Harper isn't a good school to be bragging about, but I can tell you that we do have some very smart and intelligent students here. They are very strict here,(meaning the security gaurds) we can't have cell phones, you can't be out of dresscode, and you must have your I.d. at all times. I can tell you that being a Harper student isn't easy, because you can get in trouble just for looking at somebody wrong. i can also say that I do have fun here, and I'm learning alot, and that's all that matters.

at harper students are rowdy and crazy everyday.the kids at my school are mostly rude to each other and always fighting or arguing.most of the teachers are liked by the students the building looks ok from the outside, but the attitudes are a diffrent story....

Deshawn
Harper high school is a o.k school, but you can do better. It is not bad like you think.Only if it had more activities it would be a goood school, and better students.The teachers are cool sometimes you know everybody has thier days. When you look at the outside you would think this is a bad school its old, but when you come in the inside you see a school that is good ando.k to go to

Dorian Henley

Its nothing wrong with the school , its nothing wrong with the students , you just have to have a certain amount of popularity or have to hang with the right people. Its different types of students , its the cool students and the lames kids. The teachers is cool also , some come to do their job and the others come to make something out of a student one day. The only bad thing is the food , we et the same thing everyday.

Ciarra Pryor:Harper
My school is okay type of students that go here are not that smart, and if they are they sure don't show it.There are no geeks,nerds,or popular people its just a high school. Most of the teachers well half of the teachers care about what we do inside of school as well as the outside.Somethings that people may not know is that all the students that attend here are not bad. When people hear the word HARPER, they assume that's a bad school for bad kids. It a good school good things about the school s that the security guards are on point, they do their jobs as well as every other teacher. The best thing about the school is the J . R . O . T . C. program all I know ist's better than GYM.

Terrell Adams The school I go to is bad. people at my school fight everyday. And they have a food fight everyday. But the school is big. And it has a lot of fun things in the school. The students at my are bad. But some of them are good. But the that are bad,they like to jump on people, they like to start fights, and they curse the teachers out. The teachers are okay, but some of them like to curse at the students.

michael holman
my school kinnd of all right,but most people think doesn't think that way.Most kids are good and do good in school.Also bad kids are out here bad.all teacherare respectful.Untillyou get on there bad side.I don't care what peopl think a bout my school.becaues it great.

david morrow bellringer 04/21/06

harper is a alright school it's some good kids and bad kids
it's some good lookin girl teachers and some punk teachers
thats a lot of stuff good and bad happens in harper
we got good and bad sports

Anthony Turner

It is a sociable environment to be in. We have some clowns as students, but we also have bright and intelligent students. We have teachers that are going to give their all to make sure you pass, then we have teachers that will put a book in front of your face and just tell you get to work. The things you may not know about Harper is that once your in Harper you are who you are. Nobody sees you as another average student in Harper, but you will run into people that will push your button.

leon moore

harper high is a good school like any other school its just the students that attend the school that give it its name telling if it a bad school or a goood school.i like the way the teacher teach in harper but not all, like mr. winfre ha ha just playing. i think that harper should change the way they have their classes set a day nad b day it should be 7 classes a day everyday.

Jammal Fisher

Well Harper can be a good school. As a matter of fact Harper is a good school. The students just make Harper seem bad. The kids have terrible behavior and everyone thinks their a thug. Now the teachers are helpful, nice, and some are playful. Well at least all the facets teachers are. Our school Harper is tacky also. I mean our locker room stinks, we have no swimming pool, our gyms don't be shinny and nice like other schools, and we eaqt the same food for luch every day. That's all i have to say about Harper.

Joseph Dobine

My school Harper is down to earth to me. Some people thats in it though is crazy. They fight throw things but its fun. The teachers thats in it is cool and smart so its ok with me. The food here though is nasty that's what they need to change.

Rodney Jelks

My school is Harper High people say that its dumb because of the students in it. We have bad in good students that attend our school. We have excellent sports teams and low rate attendence. All of the teachers that I had and have are more than good because they encourage you to learn or do something like inspiration leaders. On the outside it looks good but on the inside only sertain places look good.

Demetrius Johnson

My school is a ok school we have some good students and some bad ones, but this school is still good to me because all of my friends go here. Some people say that Harper is a bad school because of what they have heard, but i think if they were going here they would think different.

Demeisco Ford

well Harper High School is like any other school. To begin with Harper is a regular school just less fortunate. In what I mean by that, is that we don't have as much as other school, but other then that Harper is a wonderful school.

Johnny Davis

I think this school school is very poor because everything we got is like ten years old like our books. I know that a lot of african americans go to this school. I think the kids that go hear are so fake gang bangers and most of them arre drug dealers. I think the school have a very good football,wrestling,and trackteam. This year I think our football and basketball team should be good.

Cortez Jones

I think the thing that is good about Harper high is the people such as the teachers and all your friends the thing that is bad about Harper high is the uniform and how security address you about stuff and how the rules are.

Describe Your School. Describe the types of students that attend, the types of teachers, and some things people may not know about the school by just looking from the outside. Include both the positive and the negative!!!!!

--Mr. Winfrey

Leshawn Ward

Well, Harper is not bad as people say it is. Harper just got alot of stupid people. They want to gang bang in school. That's why it be so many fights. But most of the teachers I know is cool. If you look at this school from the outside, you would say it's clean and think nothings wrong with it, but it is not so clean. The reason why people think Harper is so badis because of the area it's located in.

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Derek Middleton
Harper is really a good school. Of course you have some good students and some that loves to fight. People think Harper's a school full of bad urban kids that doesn't know anything. Me and my friends in FACETS are very smart, but that get overshadowed by the bad behavior of some kids. My teachers are very smart. They really do care about your education. People on the outside don't know that we're really learning.

WHAT ABOUT HARPER HIGH?

Harper High school is not a bad school and not a good school either, this school is so backwards, i think harper does a poor job at preparing seniors for college. The students here at harper are not all bad, we have some students who do everything to be successful, the others are average, they do what they suppose to when they feel like it, the other half just come for nothing, the have the potential but they don't want to work, they don't understand the importance of their future. Some teacher at harper really care about the students and try their best to help the under class man, some teachers can't wait to pass the students so they won't have to deal with them anymore, but their are some good teachers in our school. Harper High school is always seen about talents and abilities to play sports, we have the most talented students who don't want an education but at the same time want to be successful, Our Harper family is not that bad, we need more unity and help for our students.

TASHA POINTER

By:Sheena Johnson

Harper is a good school it is just the students that make it seem bad. The students here at Harper like to come to school and just play. But some of the teachers here make a student want to come to chool and just play. I say that because some of these teachers like to mass up a students grade by grading them on only one thing when for the whole semester they were doimng more then that. It is some really low down dirty teachers here at Harper.

If you look at Harper from the outside you might think that the school is clean and a great place for children to learn. But if you go inside you will be in total shock. You would be in shock because it is not like you exspected it. The students are running the hallways instead of being in class like they suppose to, the bathrooms are so dirty that it make a person not want to go in there because they are afraid that they might catch something.

Harper is an ok school, I like it. Other people say they would leave Harper and go to another school with me it's different. I kind of like it here. Alot of students here do work and want to be something and the other half don't come to school, ditch early and then when they do come to school they dont do no work. Some of the teachers are cool, but some can get on your last nerves and its like they say you can talk to them, but as soon as you tell them something they go back and start telling other people. That's why I stop telling people my business. I mean if somebody just walked past harper they would think that its a bad school cause we live in a bad neighborhood, but just like we have fights, so does other school and just like we do crazy things sometimes, so does other schools, but that's basically all I have to say about Harper.

derrick hearns:

My school is like the most dullest school in Chicago. We students don't get to do anything because they are bad. They lack respect of themselves, of others, and the school, but everything
isn't bad. Most of the teachers here are very cool and fun to hang with. They help you in a time of need and you could always depend on them. I think that just by the way our school look on the outside many people would judge us harshly.

Jasmine Watson

Sharocka Malone

I think harper is a very nice school when you get to know it. Harper got so bad students and some good students the bad students don't care about what they say to anyone and I thing they shouldn't be here cause they give harper a bad name and the teachers in harper act like they teachers in I can tell you whatever. You won't know the good and the bad by just looking at the students you have to get to know them cause some of the bad students bring the troubleto the school and if your bring the outside to the inside then people looking at the school like they did something wrong.

Danny Hampton

When I first came to this school it wasn't what I expented. I thought this was a terrible school jugdeing on what I saw from the outside.Everyday will I was around here{ when I was little} I forever here gun shot. I thought if the outside was this bad I can just imagine how the inside would be. Will I first walked threw the door,walk down the halls,and into the classroom, my heart was running. Like I said before, it wasn't what I thought it would be. Harper is kinding a great school but it has it good days and it's bad days. Not every student in the school was a jark. If you got your heart set on something you won't to do in the furture, this school can create chances for you. The teachers are not all that bad.

Keaira Boulden
Harper is old and needs new work the water is always hot. And the students here are bad as hell and needs home training, they run all over the teachers. And the teachers are just so fucking returded and slow be telling us one thing then turn around and and say some other shit. But this school needs work for real it needs to be remodel and a couple of new teachers also students. We need better basketball teams and football okay they aint all that. We also need a better band and dancers that are in the band cause they can not dance. We need better food in the lunchroom they serve the same stuff each and every day and thats why I do not eat they shit might be out all night then just warm the shit up. I am not about to get sick for no one at all because they not gone take me to the hosiptal or shit so thats why I eat breakfast at home in the morning. What people might think about the building from the outside is that it might look like something on the inside but it really does not. The paint is coming off the walls we have the bogus bathrooms the girls bathroom is nasty ass hell, most of the cumputers dont work in the classrooms or we dont have enough seats for everyone.

Shiquita Davis

Harper is an old looking school with to many students. Some Harper students want to pass and graduate, and some don't. Some of the teachers care about our education some don't. Some of these students at Harper High want to learn .Yes they do fight, but not like they use to when I was a freshman.

Krystal Durr.

The school I attend is very unique I believe. Here at Harper High School there are a bunch of smart students. Their are students that are so intelligent that you wouldn't believe was part of this school. Are school is put in a category where we at the bottom academically which we are but, we also have students who excel at the top of their class. Then their are the problem kids which stop a lot of learning during each year. That causes that commotion but that want put an stop on anything. Then there are Harper wondreful teachers. All the teachers reallly care about your education and wheather you succeed in life which is wonderfully in this critical time in a teenagers lives. We as students need that guidance and assistance in motion every school year. Then their are the teachers who don't care about what you do; they have their degree and will get paid rather you learn or not. The outside of the school is dangerous, there is nothing good to say about the outside of Harper but, watch your surroundings. However overall Haper is a good school. Where excellence will prevail within our student body.

Mary Thomas

Harper is a school that been here forever. Harper is kind of a nice school to attend to. The students that attend here this school is ok. You can't really trust anyone here. The teacher's that attend this school are ok, well some of the teachers here. They make sure you do your best.People might not know that Harper is instersting inside. They probably think Harper is the dumbest school in the world because they always talk about us. This is all that I have to say about Harper High School .

Kenyetta Mosley
Harper to me is very supid school. The teachers are stupid but ther are a few that is nice. Most students are bad but some do what they are suppose to do. Alot of people at this school just don't know how to act. If it was up to me, i would have been left this school along time ago and I just don't want to take the bus to any school. This is a school that was in walking distance from my house so thats why i went here.

Tatiana Lewis

Every body thinks this school is bad but really it aint its the students that acts like that, you have some that is on key and ready to get out and do what they have to, and others they dont care about school and eventually they drop out.the teachers do all they can, expecially the ones that are nice and the students run all over them and dont listen to them. the way people talk they think are school is tore down, but really its not, some things or items might not work but thats not the building. i like the school, my idditude really change about harper every since i been here.

Kenneth Anderson

Harper High isn't, really, a bad school. I don't view it as being bad, but the way that things are handled within Harper are just outrageously insane. Within Harper, there are good students, then there are bad students. In my opinion, the only reason why there are bad students, is because those bad students were raised around the wrong type of people and brought up the wrong way. Students are considered bad in these two ways: grades and conduct. If a student has poor conduct (fighting all the time, throwing garbage cans in the middle of the hall, disrespecting teachers, etc.), then that student would be considered as a bad student. If a student has poor grades, then that student will be considered a bad student on the academic level.

The teachers at Harper are, somewhat, the same as the students. They are divided into two groups: the ones who will let you run all over them and the ones who won't take any crap off of any student. Some teachers in the school are harder on students than other teachers. Within Harper, there are some teachers that slack off. As a result, they would give their students a free period, which gives the students their class period to converse, watch a movie, etc. Plain and simple, some teachers do their job and others don't.

Harper High offers opportunities for students who want to achieve their goals and do their best that they can in school. There's the academic decathalon, the basketball team, the football team, the track team, leadership academy, college tours, etc. It is a student's decision as to whether or not he, or she, wants to be part of these programs and excel in their education.

If a person was standing outside of the building and looking over it, they would probably rate the outside look as a B- school. I don't know for sure, because that was my first impression on the outside look of the school when I first came here in my freshman year. That was my first time seeing the school, ever. It's all just really from a person's point of view and what they look for in a highschool.

By: Jennifer Buchanan

I think that Harper Highschool is a nice place to come to at times, but there also some things that make the school not to safe. I mean it's not the school as a whole, but the things that go on in the school. There are for one too many fights and too much at this school. Everyone feels that they are grown and that they don't have to answer to any one. That I think makes it hard for the teachers because they are trying to teach the students who want to learn and the other students are making their job not too easy. It's always fights because so many studentsare so much into how they are so better than another person, that they barely take out the the time to try to accomplish better things.

Another thing that makes Harper Highschool seem a little crazy are some of the teachers because they feel they have to answer to the students and to me they really don't. The teachers are grown which means that they the students have to listen to them. Maybe it's just me but I find adults answering to students very annoying. Some of these teachers at Harper Highschhol also spend too much time trying to be the students friends instead of being their teachers . That's why many of the students at Harper Highschool run over the taechers. I think teachers are supposed to teach the students not be their friends.

Harper Highschhol I think could be better if there were more acknowledgements to students who do well in school. Then I think that will make other students want to achieve as well. I think it's important to make sure that the students who do well are acknowledged so they want think that they are just here to be here. Everyone has to work together at Harper Highschool and I think we can make our schoo a better place. All it takes is committment and dedication.

Garrick Mosley

Our school is real messed up.The students in the building are bad. Some of them do not know how to act in the hallway.they just do it because they see other people doing it.The teachers think they can do anything and talk to the students any kind away.these teachers think that they are so hard,but if they come in my face they is going to get knock out.what I see from the outside is badness outside of the school because they be hanging around the building for people in the building.

Harper is not the school that I would say is the best school in the world but it is ok after getting used to it, the teachers are good but sometimes they can be unfair but overall they will make shure that you recieve a good education. The students are cool most of them at least others are goofy and loud and keep up alot of mess, Harper is not one of the top schools in the world but their are several students that attend it that make it seem like a good school just by tha look of their grades, but in the eyes of other people that may just walk pass it and assume it look like a good school to attend are wrong. I'm not saying that it is all out bad but it is bad not crazy bad but the kind of bad where if you were to come into the school and talk crazy to anyone the whole school will basicly jump you, but other than that there are many students that we are proud to say make us look very good like the honor students and other students that have high achievements in this school.Looking past that comming to Harper will not be a disappointing visit because you will always go home with a story to tell .

Last night I thought I had a dream that an alien had come to my house. He introduced his self as. He asked me questions about my neighborhood and the thinge that I liked and disliked about my neighborhood. I asked why and he respond wellI just wanted to know.So I told him the neighborhood was roseland area and its quite but sometimes its loud. Its alot of kids that lived out there.they're schools out there were very big. Its nice out there not bad alright.Then I went into the bad things which were that they have graffite on the concreat. The people were bad and disrespectful.I have'nt seen any one my age. The things I like were It was guite on my block and I just liked it over there. Whene I was done he said thanks and left.

if an alien visit my neighborhood and asks me about it i will tell them my block is the coolest thing to hang on. my block is not a joke everybody always on my porch and its fun. i will also tell them that its easy to make friends around my block and easy to get a girlfriend or boyfriend. i will tell the aliens i like a lot of fights, a lot of block parties and love to stay out late. but i will tell them i dislike how people try to take over things and how they always try to start things with other people. i will tell the aliens that the aliens that the parties in my neighborhood always be crackin.

My neighborhood is fun but it can get very bad at times. In my neighborhood you see a lot of children runing around and playing. I like my neighborhood but I know it could be even better then what it is. I hate ot wake up every morning and turn on the news and all you hear is my brothers and sisters gettting killed by our own race. It don't make no since that your not even safe in your own house because now they are killing our young kids that haven't even started there life, and before you know it there life has been takingin the hands of another human. We should all stand as one to help stop this crazy killing of our young children.

My neigborhood is very nice. The people get along with each other and respect each other.
It is also a great place where you can go out and have fun. What i like about my neighborhood is that we have parks andother great outdoor things you can do. What i dislike is that people fight and sometimes do not get along with each other.

Where i live is a very quiet and mellow place. What i like about it is that mainly everybody get along with each other. What i dislike is that sometimes people have their music up to loud.

I live in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the world. It is located on the south side of chicago. I hate it! There isn't anything good about it.
There isn't any grass in the yards. Kids aren't able to play in the front of theirs homes without being worried about who is going to bother them. There are crackheads on every corner. Kids are being killed in their own homes. School isn't about getting an education. It's about how many people you can beat up. You aren't able to walk down the street with someone being disrespectful. Adults have no say so. everytime you turn your head you see a teenage girl with a baby. The boys are vicims of gangs.
My neighborhood is a little picture of what hell looks like!

If i ever was visit by an alien and the alien ask me about my neighborhood i would tell the alien that my neighborhood is nice but it's not the perfect place in the world.I would tell them that we get along with every body. No where that you live is self or the perfect place. The only thing that i like is that my neighborhood is quiet. No body don't be making a whole lot of noise. And I would tell them that i dislike these Ghetto kids around in my neighborhood.

Debra Hart

I live in one of those neighborhoods where it is alright then its not alright sometimes my lil brother and lil cousins cant even sit on the porch with out somebody argueing or fighting or even shooting or some times i feel like we need polices on every corner but most of the time them be the ones thats starting all the stuff but sometimes are neighborhood be all right sometimes i will take my lil brother and my lil cousins to the play ground and they would have them a god time.

If I was visited by aliens I would lie to them if they asked me where I lived I dont know them why would I tell them where I live so they can come to my house and kill my family I would tellthem what I dislike about them asking me questions about where I live and what I liked I would walk off on them.....................

If an alien asked m about my neighborhood, this is what I would tell him.
Loved ones get killed monthly, people get jumped on daily, people get
shot at daily. I dislike the neighbors in the neighborhood. There are old
, creepy and they watch you wherever you go when you are on the block.
If you are doing something wrong they would tell your parents even if
they don't know them. There is alot of gang related violence and alot
of killing. The only thing I can say about neighborhood is there's a cool
breeze at night so when you are hot on an summer night, just crack a
window. So if an alien came down from space and ask me about my
neighborhood that is what I would tell them.
