Being a senior is something I find very important. There are many things you have to do when you become a senior. It is very important that you don't wait to the last minute to do them. Senior year is one of the most important years in the lives of many students. Many have to wait to see whether or not they will be walking across the stage. They go on prom, but they have to wait until around June to see whether or not they will be graduating. I know I will be graduating, there's not a doubt in my mind. In the September 2008 I see myself in someone's college program, being successful as usual. My life is important so i know I will make the best of it.
Kenneth Anderson

To be a Senior eas to be at the highest point of status that a student can be in in highschool. I'm happy to know that, in a year's time, I will be getting ready to leave Harper, that I'll be getting ready to leave highschool, period. My expectations for next year are, pretty much, like everyone else's, I suppose. I pla to do my work, get my grades straight before I get ready to graduate, and go to prom. I September of 2008 I will, hopefully, be attending a university. Hopefully, it will be a very good university.In order to be accepted into a university, I have taken a few steps to try and insure my way into one. I went on te HBCU tour, which was very hlpful to me in making a choice, and I have kept my GPA up.
I think Senior year means our last year in high school. A much better year no problems no nonething. In 2008 I will be in college getting me a higher education for myself and my child.
Tatiana Lewis

to be a senior it means that you are about to be out of school next year i hope it be better. because i going to do everything i have to to graduate so i can move on to college
Dewayne Mitchell

I don't really know what it means to be a senior but i know that feels great knowing that you are going to graduate and be out of school and off to college I don't know what i'm looking forward to next year but I will expect to do a lot of work in all of my classes hopefully next year I will be in harper still and not in another school.
Krystal Durr: What it means to be an senior is to be in your last year of high school getting ready for college and the real-world. I'm looking foward to having fun next year but also working hard and gruduating. In september 2008 I will be attending college in Abeliene Texas. The steps I will take to prepare is do everything early and have everything in prder by December of 2007.
Mary Thomas
To be a senior, you have to be on your p's and q's. I am looking foward to all of my classes and just do what they did last year like have our days when we come out of uniform. In 2008, I will be either in college or working full time. I will probably be in acting school doing my thang.
Kenyetta Mosley
To be a senoir it means that we are the older grade of high school. We have to be good examples for the younger and take more responsibities so that we could graduate. I know that I am expected to be class of 2007. I just have to step up and get my grades up.

Leave Know By: Sheena Johnson

There lived Diamond, sixteen years old and pregnant by Big Smooth who is eighteen. Diamond loves Big Smooth with all of her heart and would do anything for him. When Big Smooth sees Diamond he would ask her for some money to get high and drunk on. I f Diamond tells him no he would get mad and starts to hit her. Big Smooth would hit her so hard that he would leave bruises on her. After all the hurt and pain he put her threw, Diamond still love and care about him with all of her heart.
Big Smooth is always spending time with his friends and stuff but if Diamond asks him to spend sometime with her he would say no. Big Smooth would hurt her in so many ways, but still again she loves him with all of her heart.
One morning when Diamond got out of bed ,she had found a letter saying that if she continue on to let Big Smooth hurt her then she is going to wind up dead. She had thought that someone was trying to scare her so she didn’t pay it know mind. So later on that night Big Smooth had got drunk and he had asked her for some money .Diamond didn’t have no money so he had got mad like usual and betted her up . He had betted her up so badly that she died. Her baby survived and is know living in a wonderful foster home.
Mary Thomas The Very Odd Couple

There lived this very odd couple named Garrick and Brittany. They lived in a big house. They also had one kid together. Brittany knew that Garrick was cheating on her, but she did not want to say anything until the time was right. Everyday she saw something different about him. Either he came in late with different numbers or with a perfume scent and make-up on him and on his clothes. Brittany would argue with him, but he will say that he was sorry and that he will not do it again. She said ok. They made out that same night. The next day he did the same thing. He came in smelling like you know what. Garrick thought that Brittany was sleep and that she will not smell anything but guess what she did but, she played it off. The next day they had an argument. She told him to pack his stuff and leave. He didn’t want to but he had no choice. A few months later, she found someone else. They had a beautiful little boy and got married a month later. They moved out of state and bought a really big house. She never heard from Garrick again. She was real happy about her knew life. He probably thinks she still stay out there but she doesn’t. Her daughter wants to see her father but she knows the deal though. They are now living happily ever after with no problems. The End
I would rate this school year a C and outside of school a B. This school year has been boring and anything outside of school is always great. My highlights for this school year were the couple of trips, I liked doing the world Bazaar, and the African Feast, but I was even happier when it was over. The low lights were right now , the end of the school year. All the teachers rush everthing and you have assignments in every class due at the same time. Next year is senior year, so I plan to come to school everyday, that's if I get up early enough.

By Delisa Edwards
I was a very shy teenager, and so was my first boyfriend. We were high school sophomores in a small town. We had been dating for about six months. A lot of sweaty hand-holding, actually watching movies, and talking about nothing in particular. We often came close to kissing we both knew that we wanted to be kissed, but neither of us had the courage to make the first move. Finally, while sitting on my living room couch, he decided to go for it. We talked about the weather, and then he leaned forward. I put a pillow up to my face to block him! He kissed the pillow. I wanted to be kissed sooo badly, but I was too nervous to let him get close. So, I moved away down the couch. He moved closer. We talked about the movie, he leaned forward again. I blocked him again. I moved to the end of the couch. He followed, we talked. He leaned, I stood up! I walked over near the front door and stood there, leaning against the wall with my arms crossed, and said impatiently. “Will are you going to kiss me or not”? He said yes and as I stood tall waiting for the kiss I smiled and he kissed my teeth. I was too upset.

Tips For Breastfeeding Moms

Breastfeed your baby in the first hour after birth. Keep your baby with you at all times so you can feed him often. The first milk produced by the breast is called colostrum. Colostrum protects you baby from germs and sickness. Formula cannot do this. Feed your baby often during the first week. This demand for food will tell the breast to make the breastmilk. Feeding every one to three hours is best. Do not let more than three hours pass, during the day between feedings. Sit in a comfortable chair with your feet elevated on a stack of books or a stool. Or lay a pillow on your lap tp bring the baby closer to your breast and avoid straining your back. Another position is to lie down on your side you begin to breastfeed from. Vary the position as you both learn to breastfeed. Use extra pillows to help support your back and arms. Support your breast with four fingers under and your thumb on top. For privacy use a baby blanket or towel over your shoulder. Wear shirts that open in the front or you can easily pull up from the waist. After feeding rub a little breast milk onto the nipples and let them air dry for a few minutes. Do not use soap or anything else on your nipples.They say that breastfeeding is good for your baby everyone says that its good healthy and safe. They say you shouldn't feed your baby formula.

That night didn't feel right as I watched the night sky shadow of our face. As we walked to go into the house a man car rode down the street. I thought it was my big brother friend. The man asked a Jamal come here. This ain't Jamal as me and my sister Carmele moved toward the door. I know that's you asked as he pulled out an object. I went in slow motion stunned at what was happening. The shots were fired as I ran into the door. I exhaled as I looked over to my sister and call to see if she was okay. Carmele as I screamed, I did't get a response back. I went to her side where she was holding her chest breathing heavily. I screamed out someone help as my brother came through door nearly falling to his knees. What happpen. Come we don't have time to talk we got to get her to the hospital. We rudhed her as I clucted her hand tight as tears poured down my face. We entered the emerengcy room as the doctor rushed to take her away. I set their with blood covering my T-shirt. I looked at the stars it was beautiful as the rain poured down and washed Carmele foot steps away.
Death to Her Love
By Kenneth Anderson
She curled up in a small corner of their bedroom. She heard his foot steps coming up the staircase as she began to tear up even more. Her mouth was bloody and her hands were swollen. She didn’t want her life to end this way.

David cursed and repeatedly banged on the door. She couldn’t let him in. If she did, it would mean that she’d be throwing her life away. She remembered that there was a gun in the room, somewhere.

It was going to be either his life or hers. She looked under the bed, between the mattresses, in the drawers, and she found nothing. Then she looked up at the shoe boxes on top of the shelf and emptied them all, the 45 caliber gun falling on the floor. As she scrambled on the floor and picked it up, she fell back against a wall and closed her eyes, waiting for the sound of a break-in.

As the lock broke and the door flung open, David rushed at her and she emptied the gun of all its bullets. When she opened her eyes, he was lying down on his stomach and bleeding torrents of blood. He gave his last breath and died away.

Death to the man who said he loved her.
Death to the man who came home drunk every single night.
Death to the man who said he couldn’t be without her.
Death to the man who started all the fights.
Death to her love.

The wrong decision


It was the year of 2002 when my life changed for good my name is Joey Santana I was born in a small town right outside of Italy and my family is what you would call poor and could not afford to get me the things that I wanted so they did the best that they could I was among six other brothers they were all older than me so that meant that I was the baby. I did not have clothes like they had and they always got more things than I did, I was teased and abused by them and they did not even care, at school I was talked about and beat up as well because of the clothes that I wore.

So one day I was sitting on my porch and a big time drug dealer by the name of Frank Martinez wanted me to do a little favor for him that required going on the other side of town and he would pay $600 for each package that I delivered, so I did and In about a year or so I was the head of my own drug gang. I became very powerful and I can tell that it was getting to a lot of people but I did not let it bother me, I quickly stepped out of my car and before I knew it I was laying on the ground dead hearing my father saying the worst thing in life is wasted talent.

Per 2nd



Once there was this girl I knew named Alice. She was 18 years old and her boyfriend Patrick was 25 years old. They were very much in love with one another; at least that's what Alice thought. Alice was the type of girl who would do all sorts of things to get Patrick to notice her, but nothing seemed to bring his attention to her. Alice would call Patrick's phone and he wouldn't even answer. Alice had been going through this for some time and thought that maybe Patrick would one day change. I guess things just didn't go the way Alice had expected them to go. Alice was not going to let Patrick slip away from her, they had been through a lot together and Alice didn't want to give up for him.
One day Patrick finally called Alice and they got a chance to talk to one another. Alice told Patrick how she felt. He later came over her house and they begin to make up and one thing led to another. Alice begins to hope that Patrick wasn't just using for sex because she felt that she had more to offer. After that day Alice had not seen Patrick for weeks or even months.
One day Alice begins to get very sick, so she went to the doctor. The doctor gave her a pregnancy test and she later found out she was pregnant. She was so upset because she would have to care for her child alone.
The Deal That Went Wrong
By Carolyn Green



As a black chevy impala pulled up into the parking lot, you could see the shines from the rims about a block away. A guy in a black hoody and black pants jumped off a mailbox and walked slowly to the car looking both ways. Inside the car was a dude named Chris and his girl KK. As Chris slowly rolled down the window, the boy began telling him about the next drop off and what time to come pick it up. Chris was getting upset because he was told the same thing yesterday and he couldn’t wait any longer. He needed his money and he wanted it now, so he jumped out the car and stole off dude as KK in the background yelling, “That’s right boo.” while doing her nails.

He then, calmly, walked back toward the car and, as he closed the door, dude put his hand through the window. Chris rolled up the window and, as he bagged up, he crushed his fingers having to hear enough of all the yelling he decided to let him go. The next morning Chris got up, washed up, and called his girl. They then met up at a restaurant and ate breakfast. They then began talking about what went down yesterday and got to laughing. When that night came and Chris went back to dude again.. He pulled up thinking that he was going to get his money, but dude busted him and he was shot in the head.
Derrick Hearns:

This year I think I would rate it a B. I thought that the high lights was when i went on all the trips this year. My low lights was when i had to do all this work at the end of this school year. the thing I would do differently next year is that I wouldn't be so lazy.sh

Derek Middleton

At the begining of the school year I'll give it the rate ''A''. thats when Sarina use to mess with me. After that the school year would be rated as ''C''. now it's just boring.

I give this school year that because I t has been a nice school year because while I am in school I can really consentrate on my work because I have people there to help me.I have been trying to work veryu hard this year and most of my grades can show that.what I would do differently is I woll work harder instead of trying to work hard.
Kenneth Anderson

The only thing that would be different next year is my grade , I me working even harder.

My school year this year was a B- both in school and out school. Next year I will study more and work harder to be on honor roll all 4 semesters in my senior year. My highlights were coming to school everyday and my lowlights were not doing my work and turning it in late.
By: Jennifer Buchanan


This year has been quite a successful year for me. I have been coming to school and doing what I was supposed to do. I can now say that I have been here everyday this year and that makes me so proud of myself. I have always been the type to love coming to school and I can say it has really paid off. There are also some low lights that pertain to me. That is the ACT test. I really don't think that I was prepared enough for the ACT , so now I have to work extra hard in the fall.

Tatiana Lewis

The rate for me is a b and a A out of school, next year i would try harder even though thats our senior year and do my best.
Dewayne Mitchell

This year has been a good year for me Because I have been able to do some of what I have to do and I really worked a little hard this year than last year and that has been a shock for me, my low life has been nothing really cause everything that i was not able to do was fine with me and I don't worry about things like that so as for my year here at harper so far i have had a good time and i can't complane.
Kenyetta Mosley
If I could grade this whole school year, I would give it a C. I would give it a C because this year just wasn't right for me. I always had to argue with people in and out of school. I don't even like to come to school no more. I am just dropping off.
Shiquita Davis


I rate my school year an "A" because I work to hard this year. I was going through alot of things this year and I still got good grades. My highlights is when I had my baby, my low lights is nonething.
mary thomas
The rate I will give myself is probably a c. The reason I give myself that because I ain't tryin hard enough. I know my senior I will do my best to succeed. This is all that I have to say. My high lights was when I had got an a in Mr.Winfrey class. The low lights was when I got a d in Finkle's room.
carolyn green
my school rate is an a both doing school in out of school.my highlights was that i was able to stay on tast without falling off. and the low lightss was that it was to much work, but i had manage to still succeed in all of my class. the things that i would have done dfferently is to start my work when i first got it instead of starting it late so that i would have time to done my other work.
danielle mcnulty
i would rate my school year A-. the reason why i think i would rate the school year that is because i think i could have done better than what i did. i thinkk i appylied myself but i also think i didn't put all my effort into what i did this school year. i rate myself an A out of school. the reason why i rate myself that grade is because i think i did a good job at applying myself out of school. i have a job and i always try to do what i am told to do. so, that is how i would rate myself out school and in school.

As you can plainly see, we have a shot at winning it all. First GP, who we beat 2-1. Then AOBE, who we beat once. As a matter of fact we only lost to them because of a few bad calls. Then in the last game we play Freshman Academy (i'm calling for the upset over CTA). They have some guards and some big men, but not at the same time. They lack depth and chemistry. Only 3 games to the championship. Let's go FACETS.

by:sheena johnson
I think that this class if easy but hard. I say that becvause we are givinf work back to back and it hyou are not giving uis time to finish one assignment before we are given another one. What i like about this class is that I am almost finished with it. what I dislike about this caliss is that we are given to much work at once give us time to finish one assignm,ent before we are given another one. What I could have done bvetter is nothing.
Krystal Durr: My overall opinion of the class is that the class was spectular this year. For my first year in facets this was one of my favorite classes. What I like about this class was I was alwayed challenged especially with my writing. I didn't dislike anything about the class everthing seemed to be organized and in place. What could have been better would could have read a couple of more books and did projects with them.
Shiquita Davis

I liked this class because we do alot of writing in here, I like to express myself. What I don't like in this class is when Mr.Winfrey takes points away I hate that stuff.
Keaira Boulden
This class it aint all that its decent i dont want to be in this class next year i that for a fact Mr. Winfrey be tripping this nigga be on something else. He be so happy its okay to be happy but you dont have to be that happy dang slow down pump your brakes. and then want to fit in you cant so stop trying and he think he can play ball and weaker than that damn thang.
Delisa Edwards

My overall opinion of this class is somewhat of a good opinion. I say this because all year the class was more of a i give you a project and you do it and turn it in. I have really enjoyed this class. Up until the time of the ACT prep. Because we did so much of it. However, i think you need to stop giving us so much work.
Jasmine Watson

My overall opinion of this class is I like it. At first I didn't like it, it was boring to me, now it's cool. What I liked the most about this class was the students and how we had our laughs and stuff like that. What I disliked the most was when I got a F out of this class and If I could have done anything better out this class was do my work and turn it in on time.
Derrick Hearns:

My overall opioion of Mr. Winfrey class is that it is a very challenging class. the thing I liked was when we had the group discussions with the whole class. the thing I disliked was when we always had to do group projects. It was like the work never stoped and every time we finished a project another came. I think the work could have been better because it was just boring.


Derek Middleton

My overall opinion of Mr.Winfrey class is that it's very fun this year. We didn't have to read that many books. Everything went well he really didn't over work us this year. I thought this year would be worser than them all.
Kenneth Anderson

The overall opinion of Winfrey's class is that it's actually pretty easy, considering how much time one would put into his/her assignment. Sometimes, the assignmnets are very simple to do. Other times, it's not so simple. In short, some assignments are just more in depth than others. In my honest opinion, I do believe that all of the assignments are given to each class student because the teacher knows that each and every single student can complete them. It's just a matter of whether or not the student cares about completeing the assignment.

My likes about this class:

-The work
-Some of the projects
-The way a person gets to express their thoughts
-The way a person gets to express their creativity

My dislikes about this class:

-waves index finger in the air- "Wooooohoooo!"

EVERY....SINGLE....TIME.
Sarina Glover



My overall opinion of this class is an "A" because all of the work that you give us I might complain but it prepares me for the future.
TASHA POINTER

MY OVERRALL OPINION OF THIS CLASS IS GOOD BECAUSE MR. WINFREY PREPARES US FOR THE REAL WORLD FAR AS WORK BEING TURNED IN ON TIME AND HOW TO USE THE INTERNET AS SOURSE TO HELP YOU DO YOUR WORK, I DON'T DISLIKE NOTHING ABOUT THIS CLASS, HE HAS DONE A EXCELLENT JOB AS A TEACHER.
Kenyetta Mosley
My opinion of this class is that I don't really like it. It is boring and I don't care for it. Its not fun at all.i don't remember liking anything. Mostly I disliked everything.In my opinion nothing could have been better because it is too boring.
Dewayne Mitchell

my over all opinion on this class is that i like it so far and it has been cool there have not been too much work and not to little work, what i liked about this class was when we had to write a short story i also liked the way the class was working at a steady pace and we did not get worked to hard like last year and that was kind of fun for me. What i did not like about the work that we were doing was the amount of time we had to do it but it was still ok after it was all done, besides the amount of time on the projects nothing else could have been better just the amount of time we had to do the assignment, But other than that it has been a great school year in your class.
i liked the class but it was to much work and sometimes to much home work what i did like about the class was the discussions that we had and what i didnt like about it was that we had to carry that big book home what could of been different about it was it should of been less of the big book for home work
Garrick Mosley

I think that the class went well this year.we didnt do much fun stuff this year.what i dislike about the class was the african feast
carolyn green,
my overall opinion of your class is that I really think that it is okay. I really don't hate this class it's just the work that I hate. The things that I like is that you is very honest with us and the things that I dislike is that sometimes you ack like you don't be wanting to help us. really helping us more would be better and giving us just little at a time would even help.
Sharocka Malone

What is your overall opinion of my class? My overall opinion of this class is find. What did you like? What I like is when we do the open discussing with the whole class I think I understand the storys better. What did you dislike? I dislike when we get alot of work in we got alot from the other classes.
By: Jennifer Buchanan

My overall impression of your cass is, I like the way we move at fast pace and you have a good way of challenging us. I also like the way you explain our assignments in ways that way we could understand them. You know that we have the ability to do things that'ds why you have no problem throwing assignments on us. There are also some things I don't like about your class and that's when you be messing up my grades, I really don't appreciate that at all. I feel if I earn an "A" then I should get an "A". I know sometimes you may make mistakes because you are not perfect. I know there's always room for improvement, that's why I have no problem weith telling you how I feel. Your class is wonderful, just those few improvements need to be made.
mary thomas
Mr.Winfrey class is ok now. It used to go by slow but now that the class is almost over, now it is going fast. I like when he let us work by ourselves. I didn't like when he gave out grades that weren't right. What can be better is if the class can go by faster then what it has. But other then that, the class was ok this year.
This class is alright, there's nothing great about this class. The one thing a liked about this class is when we were practicing for the ACT and we didn't work in the British Lit books. The thing that I dislike is the way we were graded the littlest thing could jeopardize your grade.The only thing that could have made this school year better, is less school.

Kyra Simmons
danielle mcnulty
i kind like everything about this class. i like the kind of work you give us its okay and everything. i dont think you give us to much work i think its enough and it be okay. i really dont have nothing to say negative about this class. so i guess i kind of like everything we do in your class.

I like being in Mr. Winfrey we did a lot of fun stuff. We read this story name mice a man.A first the story was boring then itwas interesting book.
trineka stevenson
well i like that we could get on the computer anytime we wanted to but when we were done with
all our work. i didnt like when you use to try to treat us.
ventavia rogers

i had fun in this class this year.because it was alot of intertantment,i liked everything except for the big projects.we should of had more computer time,and time to talk about what's happening in the world.
Temika Mccarter
p.3


What I think about this class is it's a good class in can be easy to pass.What I like is that the work can be fun in easy.What I dislike is sometimes it takes the class to long to get to work,otherwise everything is ok.What could have been better nothing because I think everything we done,all the projects were ok.It wasen't nothing bad I had to say about the class or the work.
What I like about this class is the games we play in the class. What I dislike is we do a lot of work. What could of been better is less work.
K.A 3rd Period

My overall opinion of your class is thats i like it so far from my first year being here. The things that i like is how you have everything in order and how you are well organized. I like the fact that you don't hesitate to give people extra credit when they are excused or absent from your class. I like how you let your students do make up work, especialy if they have been suspended, absent, or just need the extra work. But i especially like how in the beginning of the school year that you took off 200 points from any student for any foul language. Eventhough it didn't work how you planned, it still helped on way or another. I also like the fact that you don't kick kids out of your classroom, you just let them take a walk to calm down. I just dislike the fact that sometimes you let your students control your classroom or you
We did verbs and he wanted to see if it was difficuly for use and the compiter time is good but it is alot that this class can aprove on it he to hot for one in this class more rolling chairs the computer is dusty the enter net is to slow more tv more free time and get reed of the talk atiff more and punish them
Asya Haywood

My over all opinion of my this class is its easy , fun, you dont give homework at all, you break things down so that we can realkly understand it.The thing i dislike about this class is its a little bit to easy.
What I like about your class is the project and to me the work is very easy. What I dont like about your class is that sometimes you give out to much work I mean to much. What I would have done better in your class in is cursing because i lost to many points doing it. I think that you should stop taking so many points from people grades,stop trying to treat us , give out more project dealing with computers, lets us some of the project and just listen to our opinion and take it into consideration.


June2,2006 Merlin Russell
Daneille lewis

My opinion of this class is good. I like the way the class is set up. I like the organization of the class. I like that we have the whole schedule for the day on the board and when we finish we can just chill and get on the computer. I didn’t like the grammar books to much. I like the book “Of Mice of Men” but I didn’t like the book “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sing. These are some things I like and dislike in my American Literature class.
Devin Williams 6/2/2006

I think this class is o.k. I like when we do the bellringers and type them , I like when we fist came in this classroom, the class would read a story in the book and we did a group project, I loved that. What I dislike about the class . I hate when we have to do the packets and when we curse thats 200 points. Mr Winfry must don't remember, we is in america, we have freedom of speech. The only thing that could have been better is more free time. because I know most of the class work hard for it.
Asya Haywood

My over all opinion of my this class is its easy , fun, you dont give homework at all, you break things down so that we can realkly understand it.The thing i dislike about this class is its a little bit to easy.
DALILA AUSTIN- MAY 2nd 2006- CLASS OF 2006

My overall opinion of FACETS is that it was great. Time has gone so quickly. Now its time for The Class Of 2006 to all graduate. The last four year has been great. The best things I like about FACETS are the Teachers. They are very concerned about majority of the students.

My overall opinion of Mister Winfrey class is that it was great. He has taught us many, many things that we can use in our future education and life. He is a teacher that really cares about his students and their education. The upcoming students should be glad to have him as a teacher and a role model.
Even though I can’t wait to get out of school, I’m really am going to miss Mister Winfrey, the teachers (some) and the Class of 2006. Hopefully everyone will keep in touch.

LOVE ALWAYS, Dalila Austin
Class of 2006

" KEEP IN TOUCH "
~Chanel~
My overall opinion of FACETS is that it's great. I really enjoyed myself and I'm going to miss all my teachers dearly. It's crazy how this year is over, I'm kind of afraid to leave you all but I must better myself and my education. While I'm gone I'll never forget all the fun times in FACETS.
Byron Preston

My over all opinion of this class is that I hope you keep the work easy and simple like its being for the last three years. Your class was never hard I never fail your class so I can say that it’s a good class to be in. on the other hand the class is also good because its apart of facets. You are the only teacher I know of who use the things we need in the world for assignment. I like the fact that you teach your class like a college course. I really don’t think you need to make any changes.
MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE IN FACETS:

over the past 3 years i have really had a lot iof fun in facets. we've become a family. i've had both good and bad experiences but i still enjoyed them all. i will never forget my facets teachers because they have been more than teachers to me they have been like my mother and father. i want to end this by saying that i love my class of 06 and my facets teachers and i'll never forget you guys.
TASHA POINTER

WELL ITS ALL SAID AND DONE THE CLASS OF 2006 IS GRADUATING ON FRIDAY JUNE9TH, I WILL MISS ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES, BUT I HOPE WE ALL KEEP IN CONTACT AND NEVER FOR GET ONE ANOTHER. I LOVE MY CLASS OF ''06
Danielle Smith: Overall in Mr. Winfery class I think that it is a good class. It is fun at the same time. What I like is that it is a laid back class and it kind of hard too. What I don't like abou this class is that you alway give out projects. As soon as we get done with one we get another one. I like the class the way that it is I don't think that anything could be better.
Gerard Stewart

Overall i liked the class i know i could have done better but i think i passed at least i hope you taught me alot and i 'm going to take your advice and wake up and do better
Marvin Gayden My overall opinion in this class was it was fun for my three years here and I think that you are a great teacher but I know it is one thing you did'nt have to dowhile I was here was give out alot of work that its.
DENISE HEARNS PER1 6/2/06

My overall opinion of this classs is..................
I think the class was great. I have read more books in this class than I have ever read in my life. I have learned about some things that I would have to do when I get in college. I liked reading some of the books that we read they were interesting. I liked doing the projects but they could have been less work than they were. I think that we should have done more group activities that could have been better. Other than that this class was fantastic.
Danielle Smith:I just want to tell everybody that I love them and I really care for you all. No matter what problems we had I am going to miss u. I just want everybody to become something in life. Stay in school and fo what is right. I just want everybody have a safe summer and make yo mamma proud. Love all of yall CLASS OF 2006
Erica Pugh My overall opinion of this class is I like it becuase Mr. Winfrey taught us so much things and he got us ready for college doing many things. I didn't like all the projects we used to do. But overall this class was great and fun Mr. Winfrey is a great and wonderful teacher. I say he is wonderful becuase he taught us everything he knew we needed to know and learn for the next step out of highschool.
My opinion of this class was that it was very fun for me, I had a very lovely time getting to know Mr. Winfrey and all my fellow classmates. I'm glad to be a part of this class.
Antoinette Branson aka Ms. Parker
Rashod:
My overall opinion of this class is I'm glad to get out of here. I can't wait until its all over with. I am going to miss being in the class doing work that sometimes don't make no since. This class and also T.J. helped me out a lot to prepare for the next level of schooling.

Thank you.
Chackita Slater

My overall impression of your class is that you were a very interesting teacher. you taught us basically everything we know. We could come to you and talk about anything. you were like a friend. You explained to us how life would be after high school. you helped us with almost everything. When i leave i am going to miss you. just because you stayed on us about college and everything else. You are going to really be missed, only for all the confidence you gave us. i liked everything about your class, even when the work got harder, i still loved your class. Even when i started "slacking", you let me know so that i wouldn't fall behind. MR. WINFREY you are the best teacher in harper high school, well for those i do know you are the best. FACETS is a great small school especially, because you are one of the teachers. If i don't miss no other teacher i will miss you. All these other teachers are here for the check, i don't know if thats what you are here for, but i know that you act like you really care about us, if you don't. you encourage us a lot. If we could give us an award , it would be for the most dedicated teacher.


someone that conforts you when thing are going wrong
someone you tells you everything will be alright, and to be strong
someone who cares about you
and everthing that you do
Someone who loves all his students just the same
but still in all he don't play no games
Someone who wants you to do something with your life
and not stay around and waste your life
someone who keeps his promises
this is someone who i will always miss

Mr. Torrence Winfrey
I'm going to really miss everyone when I leave this dumb school. I'm really going to miss my professor Olgaby. My boo.
Antoinette Branson aka Ms. Parker
camishia lawrence
my overall opinion of this class was hard work, it wasn't hard it was just to much work. but I enjoyed being in this class for three whole years you explained to ushow college is, helped us find schools and talked to us about our plans after highschool. I'm going to miss all my classmates because they really helped me get to where I'm at too. I really did not dislike anything about this because everything we did in this class will help me a lot in the future. I learned that hard work really do pays off.
Scott Collier:

My overall Opinion of Mr. Winfrey's class is ..............
There are many of things that i can say but if i had to use one word it would be YOU!!!!
I pick that word because you can make you and or break you in Mr. winfrey's class. he gives you just enough rope to hang yourself. My dislikes on the class is the the large assignments over uninteresting books. My likes about this class is that it's really benifitial to those who plan to atted college. the choice of readings could have been better.


Ronesha Johnson 6/2/06: I am going to be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad when I graduate and leave Harper. I will be happy when I graduate, but I will miss my teachers so much. Especially my FACETS teachers. I am going to miss Mr Winfrey soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much, Mrs.Olson sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much, Mr. Finkle soooooooooooooo much, Ms.Green so much and Ms.Abbas sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomuch. I I am going to go off to college, but I will never forget none of my teachers because they have all made a huge difference in my life. I love my teachers and some of the students too.
Erica Pugh My overall opinion of this class is I like it becuase Mr. Winfrey taught us so much things and he got us ready for college doing many things. I didn't like all the projects we used to do. But overall this class was great and fun.
My overall pinion of of this class was that it was to me the best class. I really enjoyed this class alot. You taught me how to do and be something. You are the only teacher that I know is their for me. What I didnt like was all of those boring novels you picked. I also didnt like when we had to many projects at once but other then that this was the best class I've had. I am reallly going to miss this class.



Lakeisha Cole
camishia lawrence
I can't believe that I only have one more week of school left and i will be graduating. These lil four years went by so quick. I going to miss highschool, I'm going to miss all my teachers and all my classmates. but I'm this is all over with.
My overall opinion of Mr. Winfrey's class is okay. He gaves us work that would prepare us for college and did things in class that we would experience in college classes. I hope all the work I've been doing in Mr. Winfrey's class will pay of when I go to college.

Michael Peterson
I am so happy that next friday i am graduating from high school. some people thought i would have made it this far and i prove them wrong and i am continuing to prove them wrong by going from to colllege with my child with me. I just wanted to say that i will miss this school, tachers, staff, and students. I have change alot since freshman year i am happy that i did. Harper was a great experience, it taught me alot about the world and it taught me about myself. High school is the milestone that everyone has to go through in order to make it.
*Venetia*
Janna Swan: My overall opinion of this class is that Mr. Winfrey taught us on a college level. At first I really didn't understand why he was doing that but now I understand. He didn't take late work because in the real world they want there work on time so that helped me turn my work in on time. I liked how we could always joke around with Mr. Winfrey and how he always treated us like adults. What I disliked about this class was the assignments, there was so many and so much work you had to do on them. To me nothing could have been better I enjoyed Mr. Winfrey's way of teaching and him as a person as well, Mr. Winfrey I will miss U!
Latavier Wilson: I think that this class is the best class that I have had through out all of my four years in high school. I learned a lot from this class and I really enjoyed the class. This is the only class where I have a teacher who I can say really cares about the students and what happens to them. He teaches us about more than just school, he teaches us about life and I really appreciate everything that he has done for me. I am really going to miss being in this class, it couldn't have been better.

Class of 2006!

I am going to miss you Mr. Winfrey!
I told everybody san antonio was gone loose cant nobody beat dallas they gone win the championchip place your bets.
Scott Collier:

I am ready to get out of this som ma ma bitech. June 9 is not getting here fast enough. This damn administration made finals so late so we would stay in school up to graduation date. they knew what they were doing old funky bastards. But it's alright because after the 5th i'm gon let ervrybody have it, from the head of the school on down to the janitors.
I can not wait until all this is over; because I am stressing myself out about everything. I know I shouldn't but I have alot on my mind, and I don't know anyother way to get the stuff off my mind.

Latoya Wright
I am very glad that I am leaving this school. Although through out the years I have ran across phony people who i thought would be my friend for a while but soon as we reach senior year they acted phony as if they didnt even know me. I am raelly glad that i have calm down alot but if this gorl dont come to school with my questions i am going to go back to old keisha for a little while. I do hope to keep in touch with some people.



Lakeisha Cole
Janna Swan: I can't wait until graduation which is June 9, 2006 Just think I have been attending this school for four long years I have come in contact with many different types of people such people with became my friends that I hope to keep in touch with after graduation. Fake people who I thought I was cool with but turned out to be phony and people that I just don't like. But I just so happy that all my friends and me are the Class of 2006.
Today we take finals. I feel that I am ready for the test on the animal farm. I read the book and it was very interesting I hope iI do well on the test.

Michael Peterson
Latavier Wilson: I am so glad this is my last week of high school. I am also a little sad because after graduation I might never see my classmates again. Even though I don't hang out with all of them, I have got a chance to know them as a person, and I don't want to lose touch with them.


Class of 2006!
Don't forget about us!
DENISE HEARNS PER 1 6/2/06

I can't wait until we graduate. I can't believe that it came so fast. I am like so happy that i'm about to get ready and graduate. I can't wait until that time come. I will be getting ready to go off to college soon too. I am so excited about everything.

they shouldn't be taken away
leaving behind their parents crying all day
what happen to the we love our children and we care
but don't you see it's not fare
that the grave yards getting filled
everytime some child get killed
people killing their kids
becuase they say they have a problem
but there's no reason for killing your child
no matter how their bad or wild
why do are children have to pay the price
for a inorant person action
they say was an mistake
they refuse to say
shouldn't they live so they can grow up
and live their beleifs and dreams
instead of laying in a grave
dying dying their years away
the years they didn't get to enjoy
becuase people keep playing with guns like toys.
Dalre McCauley: I like this class. But sometimes it felt like it was too much work. Overall I enjoyed myself. It could have been better if the projects were not so much work and if we had more interesting stories like Animal Farm.

Drrick Hearns:

the weather today is like a hot cloudy day. This type of weather make me feel lazy. I really don't like to do any thing on days like this because I feel hot and sweaty.
Krystal Durr
The weather today is okay. It's not to hot or to coolit's just right. The weather does make me kind of drowsy and sleepy because I 'm not use to the heat. It affect my classroom behavior because I be kind of lazy because I be so sleepy from the heat waves

The weather today feels good. Its not too hot like the other days. It make me feel like its going to be a good day. Since its not too hot then maybe i could do more today without worrying about the heat.
Kyra Simmons
Today the weather is humid and hot. There is no breeze or shade outside today. It feels like 90 degrees already and the day hasn't even started yet. The summer isn't here yet but I could imagine how this summer is going to turn out.

the weather today is not nice. It is to hot .I almost didn't want to come to school. I can't lie it is not as hot as it was on the weekend.It felt like it was close to1oo degrees. The classroom feels the same as outside even though we got fans in here. It is just to hot to be doing anything.
Shiquita Davis

It is very hot today in this classroom.I hate being in hot classrooms because I can't sit in no hot classroom.
Kenneth Anderson

The weather today could be described as being very hot. It's dry out and the only thing that's moist is someone's forehead. It's too, too hot out. Like I said in my last bellringer, it's not even summer yet, and it's already really hot out.

I was the first person in class today and I immediately turned the fan on and positioned it for the class, because I knew that almost everyone in the class would want to be in front of the largest fan in the room. I'm sure that, as far as the heat goes, everyone is feeling the same. If someone feels like they're cold, I don't know why but I wish I had the same body temperature.
