my mama whipped my ass. It started with me being a smart ass. As usual, my sister and I were fighting over the t.v. My sister slapped me in the face and I slapped her back. Moms came in and saw me. She took out that huge belt and I went running. She caught me and I got it bad.

What are you going to miss most once you graduate? Why?
I am going to miss my friends and all the dumb little things they use to do. i also think im going to get stuck with one of them in college. im going to miss the arguments they use to have and i laughed at. im also going to miss when we all use to go places and have alot of fun.
What are you going to miss most once you gruduate? Why
The thing I going to miss is my friends and my teachers. The reason I going to miss my teachers is be The teacher that I have know work really hard towards and our future they really care about their students. I'm going miss my friends because I been with them before High School and we been through a lot together.
What I am going to miss when I graduate is just all of the fun that we had in Facets and all of the thingds that we done through the years. I'm going to miss the fights that we had and all of the people that had been arrested, all of the times that we had to go to the audatorium and listen to the principal talk about the way we have been acting and most of all what i'm going to miss is the teachers and all of my classmates and the time we have spent together for the four years that we all knew each other.
What are you going to miss most once you graduate? why? What I am going to miss once I graduate is the teachers who helped me get out of high school. I am going to miss them because if it wasen't for the teachers teaching me i would not have graduated. I am also going to miss all of my friends that I had met.
what are you going to miss once you graduate?why
when i graduate from highschool i am going to miss just coming to school because when i was on home bound i was missing coming to school because most of the time when i woke up i did'nt have anything to do. i am going to miss most of my teachers. I just hope that my senior year is the best year.
I think what I am going yo miss most when I graduate from highschool is my friends Delisa, Shiquita, and Danielle because those are the people who kept a smile on my face when no one else was there. We could tell eachother just about anything and we wouldn't at eachother any differently than we already did. We had fun if it was just sitting around eachothers house talking about any and everything. I love the way my friends take their education very seriously and know what they want to do in life. I know they will be successful. Graduation is just a step towards success and I know every last one of us will be successful.

What are you going to miss most once you graduate? why?
The things that I am going to miss the most are my class mates of 07. We had so much fun together and I would hate to leave them. I will also miss all of my teachers that helped me out when I needed help, and I will miss my track team.
The thing i am going to miss most is the facets teachers and walking in these halls but the most is the facets teachers because i known them for almost four years and aint no more going to classes in high school, i also will miss my class mates because they always have you laughing to the things they say or do.

This year the class is alright but he gives us to much work. The only thing i like is that we can get on the computer after we are done with our work. I dislike everything else like all the talking he does and he take points for every little thing. I'm not having problems in my group but I haven't started on the project.

If I was choosen to talk about my school I think I would have to tell them how
Harper operate. I would include how we have to wear uniform everyday. We can't go anywhere without someone saying something to us, it's like we have no freedom. Trouble goes on just about everyday in this school; telling you the truth I never raelly feel safe in this school.
Well,Iam in Chicago, Illinois. My colors are red and white, but my school colors are black and
white. Black and white is cool to me. But sometimes people are tried of the samecolors
period. People like slang period. It ghetto for some people.
Some females like people who like slang period. Females like that stuff. Females like cursing
words and stuff too. Maybe because they do it too, cursing, fighting, and playing.
My best way of growing up is going to school period. Without school you can't do
nothing period.
Going to school is all about growing up period. Some people like school. Some people
loves school. Maybe some people just just hate school period.
My school is in chicago illinois in the englewood area. my schools colors are red and white and our uniform colors are black and white. my school is very ghetto and loud. ther is always somthing going on in the halls and the classrooms. people are always fighting or arguing.sometimes it can be fun but that depends on how you make your day.

My most humilating experience was when my house was caught on fire. We had nothing left and it was like we was the most poorest people around. I was in the 7th grade at the time. We had no clothes, no shoes, no food, and no where to go. We felt so unworthy. It was in April it happened, but by September we was back into our new remodeled house, with all new furniture and brand new clothes.
By: Rhonita Staples
My nost humliating Jr. High experience was when I got in a food fight and the whole lunch room. Everyone was throwing food even me until I got hit in the face with a chocolate milk and had another class period left but I went home early. To me I think that this was the most important thing that happened to me.
what does it mean to be you?
To be means to always want to be relax and comfortable. it means to have fun and also be seriou at times. i would desire myself to other people by telling them that i am a cool and friendly person i love to laugh and dance. i also love to eat and hang outside, but on the other hand i am responsibility personwho loves to work and take care of business.
staying on task
taking care of my baby
finding a job
staying health
not missing a school day.
I do not know where i was when they hit the towers. But when i heard about it i was in the house watching it on tv with my daddy and that looked so said it was people jumping out of the killing themselves and what not. And how the plains had hit the towers was crazy and i feel for them people and the family that lost people in that they lost.
Kyra Simmons
I think I was at school when I found out about the twin towers. The teachers were so paranoid and they really didn't want to let us out our classes. I was so frightened and I didn't know what to do. All I could think about was all those lives being lost and the grieving of there families. When I got home it was all over the news and every radio station. It felt like the world was about to come to an end. I didn't know much about the twin towers, but I was still hurt just hearing about it. It's really a shame that you are safe nowhere in this world and at any time your life can be taken away.

Sarina Glover
Actually I don't know where I was when the towers hit. All I coould think about is we are next and then the world is going to be over. I was thinking about who could have plan this and what was going through thier mind at the time. What was thier attitudewas like. Did they feel any remorse about what they just have done.
when I found out about the twin towers I was in 7 grade. We were watching something and all of a sudden they started talking about the twin towers. A whole lot of people got laid of because of it. My brother had told me about it when I got home also. That was a sad day that day and it will not be a forgotten day.
Where were you when you found out about the towers? Explain.
I was at school when I heard about the towers. At first I didn't know what was going on, 'cause we were watching the news mostly all dayand then we were sent home early that day too. At first i didn't think it was that important until I went home and talk to my parents about what had happened, then I understood what happened and felt really bad about the situation and couldn't believe why would people do that to others innocent people.
Where were you when you found out about the towers?
When i found out about the towers i was at school. i was sitting in one of my classes when some of the people found out about the towers and the planes crashing into them. i really didnt find out any details until i went home and turned on the television. thats when i saw how the planes crashed into the towers and how the people below reacted. my feeling towards the attack is i hope nothing like that happens again because alot of people lost their lives and alot of people lost love ones as well.
Where were you when you find out about the towers? Explain your thoughts
When I first heard about the topwers it was early in the morning on september 11, 2001. I was in 7th greade at Linblom College Prep. My first thought about the planes crashing into the towers was " Oh my god I can't believe this is happening" All that day was sad. On the news they kept replaying when the second plane hit the second tower. It was just unreal. At school all my teacher's were panicing saying the world is coming to and end,and a war would be next aftere this incident. That day was one of the orst day that the United States has witnessed form the television.
I was on my way to school, I was getting dress at first I thought it wasn't important intill I got in school and all of the teachers were looking sad. Then that's when I started to think this is some real serious stuff. When I actually look at the news it look very sad and scary. I couldn't believe all of them people were trapped inside of them buildings. Really I didn't feel nonething against the people who did, I just felt bad for the people who lose they lives for no reason at all.
Where were you when you found out about the towers?WhenI found out about the twin towers I was in school. It was in 2001 and I think that I was in the seventh or eight grade. We was just about to start on our class room assignment when the intercom had came on. Then all of a sudden they were like we have some bad news. I had thought that someone had died but then they was like the twin towers have been hit and that we are having a 9/11 terror attack.
He said that the towers was hit this morning all i could think that the sears tower was next but then i thougt how could they hit us we in the mid west i was thinking it could happen on the east or the west coast.

When i first heard about the towers i was at school. i was in one of my classes, but i cant remember which one. it was all on the news and everything. i really didn't find out any details until i got home and turned on the television. thats when i saw how the plane just crashed into the towers and how the people below reacted. my feelings towards the attack was that i felt sorry for the people that was there. some people lost their lives and people lost love ones as well. hopefully, nothing like that wont happen again.
I was at school that day when i heard about it. I did not know what was really going, all i knew that someone took over some planes and ran them in some towers. One of the ladies in the office said on the P.A system, everyone in the school must be in their classes and the school have to be quite for five minutes. When i got home i turned on the news ( something i have never did before) and saw what everyone was talking about. All i could think was the world was coming to a end.
Where were you when you found out about the towers. I was in the seventh grade just going to my history. when all of a sudden my math teacher Mr. Gray came to our class and said quickly to turn on the television. when my teacher Ms. Larkin turned on the television it was like the world was coming to an end. everything was being destoryed and ther were so many people dying. I just couldn't believe my eyes. It was the scarest thing that I had saw and heard of. Then after school was over I didn't wan't to go home all I thought about was were we going to be next.
When I found out about the twin towers I was at school doing work my thoughts was that I was shocked and that I could not believe what I just herd it was scary cuase I thought that something was going to happen to a lot more people than just the people in the building downtown everyone in the world was shook up just to hear about something that dangerous accuring.

It's really a shame that you are safe nowhere in this world and at any time your life can be taken away.
When the towers fell i was in school and at that time in was in seventh grade i didnt really watch the news so i didnt know what was going on until i went to school i was in social studies class and our teacher had told us and she turned it on to the news. when i looked at it all that came to mind was why someone would do that and dont they know innocent people might get hurt.
Where were you when you found out about the towers? Explain your thoughts 1/2 page
I'd never heard of a plane being crashed into the side of a building and going straight through it, only to explode because of the impact and leave the building in a gradual state of destruction. When I heard and saw people jumping from windows and people getting caught under debri, it was seriously a lot for me to take in. I was nervous for a very nice portion of that day. The impact of seeing people die right in front of your eyes was very great on me. I would've hated to be there, because I probably would've collapsed.

What it means to be your self means to act how you act when your around your family and friends. I would describe my self outgoing. Ihave a good sense of humor . I can sing very well. I make people laugh as well.I love evry one and i dont act funny towards anyone. I tell it like it is and i care about their feelings and i call it like i see it and i wont say things just hurt your feelings .i think being yourself means to act how you acted when you were little when no one ever tried to change how you acte dand how you felt thats what i think being your self means to me. BY : Ciarra Pryor a.k.a DAISY
Very Outgoing
I'm very nice,sweet,kind, and caring. I love to help other people the best way I can. Also I'm outgoing to improve myself and maybe other people.I love coming to school and learning different things everyday. I want to be the best I can be for myself and my kids. I also love to make my family proud of me. I want to do something with my life instead of throwing it away for nothing. I want to make it in life with a smile on my mother and my kids face. being me is hard when you don't have nobody but your mother and grandma to help you in life and courageing you to stay in school to make something of your self.
I Would Desribe my self as being a out going and a little over the edge i say out going because sometimes i rather do things my way than take the easy right way out of certain situations but othe than that i am a smart bright itelligant young man who is very unpredictable and fun to be around my motto is "MOVE AROUND" that means get away from me with all that he say she say and silly stuff i like my style and i bet that you would also like it to

To be me you have to really have your head on straight . You have to be smart, intellegent, and laid back. I think I would have to describe my self as a person who wants something out of life. I think another way i would describe my self is that i am a person who likes to have fun, but the right way.
What it mean to be me let me see, it takes a lot to be me. First of all can't nobody be like me, second they can't act like me, third of all they can't act like i act, and last but not lease they can't dress, and walk and talk like me. I describe my self to other people as a "g", but at the same time as a cool person to hang out with in go places.
what does it means to be you? How would you describe yourself to other people.
Well, I can say, to be me Devaughn Stokes, it means smart to me period. To
be Devaughn is great, because Devaughn is great when it comes to school period.
To me to be me it feels good to be me. Some people talks about me. Jealous
in the crowd to people in school, family, outside, maybe the world.
People would describe me as a responsible and respect. Some people know me
from everywhere. Maybe because I play basketball. Maybe because I'm a
cool person to hang with period. Some people are jealous at me. Everyone knows
Devaughn in Harper High School. Even teachers because I get good grades and
a cool person period. People know I'm just a very very cool person. I just got a good
personally.
Wat it means to be me ? Wat it means to be me is that i am very smart , and i am a very funny,
and very crazy. How would u describe yourself to somebody i would tell them my name and my age. Then i would descirbe my they way I look for example i am 5"6 carmel skin tone average body with a good personality. this is the way i would describe myself to someone.
I would consider to other people by saying that im agood person. I have agreat personality.I enjoy hanging out with my guys and do things that i like to do . I will also describe myself as being very funny because i can make a lot of people laugh. I will tell them how i act in different situationsand things like that.
what it mean to be me is to have fun the best way i can. If iam outside with some friends and it's boring i, will be the one who makes everyone laugh. If you come up to one of my friends ,and ask them to desricbe me they would say she is outgoing and fun to hang out with. soemtimes I could be nice,other times i could be angry.But when im in a good mood that means everyone around is in a good mood.
Well I consider myself to be smart, couragous, interesting, funny,and serious. I love school and I take my responsibility very,very seriously. I can be fun to hang out with but I know that there are times to have fun and there are times to be serious. 9 times out of 10 if you stick me in a room with other people I'll stick out. I don't care what other people think about me as long as you don't but your hands on me everything is fine and there won't be any problems. I consider to be attractive in my on way. I feel that you don't have to be really pretty to be attractive. It feels great to be me. I don't want to be skinny because to tell you the truth I can't picture myself being skinny so I am comfortable with my size. But don't get it twisted I do try to keep my self l;ooking desent. So to make a long story short Im a good person and I wouldn't trade anything to be skinny
Iam the type of person that can be nice,but at times I don't want to be bothered with anyone. To be me means to resecetothers at all times and yourself.It also means to respect the way you are and make yourself comfortable at all times , I woulddescribe myself as a person that can have a big attitude, but I know how to control it. Ican be fun to be around and enjoyable too . Just don't get in my way or don't get on my bad side.
What does it mean to be me? You have to be cool and outgoing. You have to be able to get along with anyone. I am a very good person once you get to know me. i like to go out of town to meet new people thats why i have a lot of friends. Onc you have friends its like you never lose them. to other people thats why they know I am a cool person. Thats what is means to me.
What does it mean to be you?

Bell Ringer
What make me different from everyone else is I am not scared to say what in on my mind.I love keeping it real , i am not ashame of who I am , what I am , and what I do. If I was to descbribe myself to people I would tell them that I am crazy and that you can hate me or love me.

Bellringer
What does it mean to be you? How would you describe yourself to other people?
To be me it means a lot. Being me is not easy because no matter what other people
do, they'll never be me. I'm one of a kind. I like being me because I am a laidback relaxed
person, I work hard to try to obtain good grades in school so I could get all my credits, I
like being around my family and friends. I would describe myself being kind, competitive,
caring, compationate, and maybe a little selfish at times but not all the time. I would tell
people I am a nice cool person.
Bellringer
What does it mean to be you? How would you describe yourself to other people?
It means to be yourself, act like you usually act and don't change for anyone or any thing, and don't act like anyone else. I would act normal which is acting smart, nice, and bright. The way I would describe myself to other people is by telling them how I act for example sometimes I act a little goofy. The way my attitude is when someone gets on my nerves by saying the same thing over again and I heard them the first they said something which makes me very mad and angry.

How I describe myself to other people
I would describe myself as a self learner.It doesn't take much for me to learn somthing by myself.The only thing that gives me a hard time is math.Math is very complicated to me becouse there is toomuch you have to do for one problem.It takes me a long time to learn math. I think that I cant learn math becouse I dont have the patience.

What it means to be you is to be yourself. Don't try to be like nobody else.Don't try to fit in. Most of these girls try to fit in just to be notice. And trying to fit in canget you in a whole lot of drama. That's why you should be like yourself .Be how you was brought up. I would describe my self as a cool girl that gets along with every body and i don't try to fit in were i don't belong .And i am smart and goofy too. But don't try to fit in with boys and girls that will get you into stuff taht you normally don't get into.

I'm a loving person because if when I have something, and I see that there's someone out there who nee something more than me I'll give it to that person.
Everyone knows what it means to be me a goofy laid back person. I am someone who will tell it like she sees it. If you do something I dont approve of. I might just let you off with a warning.

At times I might act slow but I'm not. That is what everyone knows about me...........

It means I'm my own person, and I have my own type of personality, style, and taste. Being me means that I have a responsibility of taking care of myself, and showing the world what I have to offer. I don't look like, smell, or act like anyone else, but myself. It really means a lot to me for people to know me and not a cover up of something else. I would describe myself to other people by being honest, friendly, funny, outgoing, and a laid back person. How I look 5'8",darkbrownskinned,darkbrown eyes, dimples, handsome smile, and attractive.

To me, I'm a very nice person. An all-around nice and well-tempered person is how I would describe myself to other people, and that's what I try to present when I meet new people. Sometimes, I'm too nice, which can be a negative at times. I find myself being taken advantage of, or faced with someone who's trying to use my kindness as a weakness.

What I think it means to be successful is to be yourself and not try to be anyone else. you are your own person and I think you should perform in that manner. no matter what others think about you should still practice good citizenship. I think being yourself is very important and can be very self -rewarding because atleast you can say you followed your own mind.
I can say that I am glad to be myself. I have my own mind and as for now and for always I am my own person. I know what I want out of life and I am not going to stop until I get it. I am a leader not a follower and that I know will take me a long way. The decisions that I make I make because I want to not because someone forced me. I am committed to everything I do and have and I am not going to let anything or anyone take that away from me.
