The worst punishment I was put on was around last year and I got like 4 F's on my report card and my momma said I couldn't do anything or go anywhere. I had to stay in the house until next report card. I hated that so much.

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.

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?
I suppose that I'm going to miss the teachers. The FACETS teachers, as well as those in ROTC and my two Spanish classes, have helped me achieve so much. Without them being here for me, I wouldn't be where I am today. There's no denying that, because it true. I suppose that I will be missing some students, as well. I can't really name all of them off the back, but definitely some are:
Carolyn Green (Sweetest girl I've ever known)
Danielle McNulty (Beautiful, very friendly, and very wise)

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.

After high chool I plan to go to college. I don't know what college I'm going to yet but I'm looking into now. I want to be an Inerior Designer and always have wanted to. The school has to be a 4-year college. I want to go to an out of state college because I'm pretty sure that Interior Designer is not big here. That's one reason why I want to leave the city. That and I'm getting tired of Chicago.

What does the word nigger mean to you? Is there a difference between a nigger and and a nigga? Is there a difference between a nigger and a black person?
The word nigger, to me, means stupid and ignorant. It was a word used to classify and belittle black people back in the old days, and it is stil being used to this very day. The word nigger is supposed to be a label of disrespect, whila nigga is supposedto be giving respect, when there's reall no difference in the first place. I believe there is a difference between a nigger and a black person, because people are people and labels are labels. A white person can even be labeled as a nigger.

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 most humiliating experience in junior high was when i got a beat down in front of the whole classroom by my father and all the kids lauged at me and then he made me stay the rest of the school day . the funniest part was that he whipped me because he had to come up to the school and not because he was mad at me.

My most humiliating experience
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.

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.

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.

When I found out about the towers I was at home watching my usually t.v shows. Then all of a sudden all the channels were interrupted with a special report. I continued to watch and then they showed a planed crashing in the towers, I was shocked I couldn't believe my eyes. I was thinking to myself , was this today, is this another country.Then they showed another plane crashing into th building, and then it started to collapsed. The next dayI saw the newspaper and in the picture you could see people jumping out the windows. My heart went out to all the lives that were taken on Sept.11.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When I found out about the twin towers, I was at school. I didn't hear anyone go into detail, because I suppose I wasn't paying that much attention. When I got home, turned on the television set, and switched to the news, I was very lost. I was stuck, because it was a shock. I had no idea what we had gotten into and, in all honesty, I thought the world was coming to an end. 9/11 really left me standing in one spot for a second with my bottom jaw on the floor.
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.

Derrick Hearns:
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.
