Philly .Sustainability Workshop tries to reinvent the high school
==I think that it would be a better way to do high school and i say no, because it shows students the real world and take them to do real things and businesses. but it doesn't teach you academics and stuff you need to get into better schools or college.Some reasons that are mentioned in the text that this would be better or worse than the normal high school experience is that instead of learning and doing academic stuff you need,instead you learn how to build and draw plans for bus routes.Also it would be good because it's teaching you how to build and construct your own things.If I was given the opportunity to be a part of this program in 9th grade,i would do it, because it teaches you how to build and it counts as extra credit.So when you apply for college you can put that on your resimay Plus your academic skills and maybe get scholar ship.Also when you do things like what they're doing then your already ahead and already know what your doing.==

//**About 3 years ago in 2008 it was ThanksGiving at my aunt and uncles house.it was all family at her house.we was waitng for the turkey so we can eat.it took about an hour for it to get done.So we played to make time fly by. then it was time to eat .when we got to the table the food was ready except for the turkey.it wasnt fully done it had about another 30 mins to cook.so we waited and waited till finally the turkey was done.So we went back to the table and we ate our Turkey,Yams,Rolls (etc.....)**// //**So after that the children was all over the house playing.Then we went to my cousin Keyana's room and we saw a dog I forget his name but my brothers and cousins started tortuin the dog.My cousin came up to her room to get something then she saw them messing with her dog.So she started yelling at them .Then when she left they started messing with the dog again.Then we went outsid theyre was a bigger dog so my brothers didn't mess with that dog****.so we just started playing games like hide and go seek or it tag(etc....).Then we went back in the house and there was all this cake and Pie.Therye was apple pie,Peach cobbler,Chocolate cake ,vanilla cake.Ice cream.**// = **//My Cousin and His Courage//** = ==//** Do you know what it’s like to have heart problems? Well neither do I but, I know someone who does. It’s my cousin Lamont but we call him “Man, man.” He has a heart condition that he was born with. He has this condition that when his heart starts to act up he has to get a new heart. Every time I see him he has a new heart or he looks different from all the surgery’s he had. But other than that he’s a pretty normal 17 year old. He likes sports and wrestling with my brothers and cousins. Also he likes to listen to music. Some times when he’s wrestling with my cousins and my brothers they take it easy on him because he has a girl’s heart, and they don’t want to hurt him in any way. **//==

==//** What courage means to me is when somebody isn’t afraid to be different than everybody else. Like “Man, man.” He acts as if there isn’t anything wrong with him. He likes to do what other people do like watch TV, talking to girls and hanging out with his friends. Sometimes I wonder how he deals with his problems and how other people see him. Sometimes people will make fun of him because of the way he looks. Then some people are nice and hang out with him, not because they feel sorry for him but because he’s a cool person, and that when you get to know him he’s a good person. **//==

==//** A way that I have noticed courage in the life of my cousin “Man, man” is that he’s not afraid of what people say or see him as. Some people say he looks really sleepy or tired and, that he thinks he's ugly because the way he looks. But I don’t think that, I look past all that and look at what kind of person and personality he has. He doesn’t care what people think about him. He doesn't feel that people should feel sorry for him and treat him differently. Me and some people treat him like a regular person like I would treat my brothers. Like we joke around sometimes and some times we get on each others nerves. **//==

==//** What my cousins courage has meant to me is that you don't have to be afraid of what others think of you and you just need to be yourself. Don't be afraid to be different. Don't do what others like just because your the only one who likes something else. Also it taught me to not judge people because of the way they look or problems they have, because when you get to know the person you might actually start to like them and see how there the same as you but different in a way. That's why I don't judge people until I know who they are and what there about. Thats what my cousins Courage has tought me. **//==

**//I want to be expressed and show my glory//**
**//I'm not an animal, I don't belong in a cage//** **//I need my freedom,and space//**

**//School Break RAP//**

**//It's Wednesday 1 day before break//** **//I'm gonna have fun,advantage I'm gonna take//** **//I'm going over my aunts I'm gonna have fun//** **//I don't want to go back to school when the break is done//** **//At my aunts house I'm gonna play//** **//I wish the break was longer cause i wanna stay//** **//I'm gonna walk down the street//** **//Talking and playing with my peeps//**

Sahira- I really enjoy reading your writing and I believe you are a talented student. Keep working hard and doing your best. I like you courage essay a lot and I will certainly submit it for the competition if you want to do that. Good work in class.

=== (2) Some roadblocks that this law will face is like when the student has to babysit there younger siblings during school while there parents are at work because they cant afford daycare.Another is when a child is sick. ===

=== (3) I think that something like this would work in Wilkins burg because it would keep students from skipping school so they don't get arrested.Also I think that when students notice how serious it is when they skip school that they can be arrested then they will just go to school or have a n excuse for missing school.some excuses may be like doctors,dentist, may be sick,or having to watch your younger siblings during school because your parents have work and you can't afford daycare. Thats what i think. ===

One day I was walking home from the store. I went to the store to get some groceries for a party I'm havin g. So I crossed the street and there was no traffic at all. and I went back across the street because i for got some chips so i went back to the store. by the time i got back out the store there was still no traffic. So I crossed the street.Nothing was there.

Then all of a sudden a bus came out of no where speeding. So i ran into the other lane. Then like 4 tanks came and i just stopped and starred. They stopped to. After that i realized they started to move forward. They was trying to run me over. So I ran across the street. They was chasing that bus that almost ran me over.

So i point to where the bus went. They said "what are you doing?" then i said "pointing to where the bus went." They said thank you. I said your welcome. They followed the bus. Went home. Then i told my friends and family all about what happened today. they said that must have been scary. i said it was worse i thought they was going to run me over.

Sahira Muhammad

== One day in middleschool there was a girl named Sahira. She had a little sister named Sumayyah. Sometimes people asked if they were twins. so one day Sahira's little sister decided to pull a prank on her. So she dressed up like Sahira.Then she went to the middleschool. She said her name was acting as if she was Sahira. Meanwhile Sahira was really at home sick. So she stayed home instead of going to school. So Sumayyah went instead to pull a prank. ==

== Sumayyah was at the school feeling stupid because she didn't hav Sahira's schedule. Also she almost didn't know where the office was. She went to the office and asked for Sahira's schedule and they gave her the schedule.She went to Sahira's homeroom. Then she started acting weird and being way different than Sahira. Then te teacher told Sumayyah to do a problem. She didn't know how to do the problem. So sumayyah got mad.Next thing you know the desk was turned upside down, and the top was on the otherside of the room. ==

== The next day Sahira was feeling better. So she went to school. when she got there everybody was staring at her. then she got to class. The teacher was scared to ask her quetions. Sahira was wondering what was going on. She was asking people what happened. People was looking at her like she was stupid. She was looking confused. Then her friend told her what happened. Then Sahira was like "That wasnt me cause i was at home sick." Then her friend was saying that was impossible and she couldnt have been at home. ==

== Sahira was called to the office. She was wondering why all that was happening. She was sent to the guidance councler.They asked if she was having problems at home and why she was doing distructive things. Sahira was like no nothings wrong with me. The guidance councler was like then what happened yesterday. Sahira was like i dont know i was at home all sick and stuff. The guidance councler said you couldnt have been. Sahira said"Then call my parents if you dont beleive me!" The only people who went to school yesterday was my older brothers and my little sister who looks like me. Oh!!!!! ==

== As soon as school was let out Sahira trys to get home as fast as she can. It doesnt take that long because she just lives down the street. Anyways when she got home she waited,and waited,and waited until Sumayyah got home.She asked her sister did she go to school as Sahira. Then she said no. So i told my parents what happened we put sumayyah on punishment until she told the truth. She confessed 2 days later. She thought she would be off of punishment. She was way wrong. She was put on punishment for 2 months. I was happy because I wasn't getting blame for doing somethind, someone else did. So I went out to eat in the honor of my innocence and my little sisters punishment, while she stayed home while i ate food. ==

THE END
THis story had me laughing. Great job Sahira. Keep up the writing and the good work.

== Everyones in the office, Destiny Middleton ,Aniya King, And me Sahira Muhammad. It was all because of what happened after lunch. We......Well I'll tell you how it happened from, the begginig.It was a warm sunny winter day. I just came into the building(WMS). I walked in with Destiny Middleton we were talking about how it would be funny if we pulled a prank on Mr.Boll. It was all Destinys idea she was the one to bring it up. So we started talking about what and how where going to pull the break. Then Aniya bumped into us. It wasn't no suprise because it's not that big a hallway.Anyways we told her about the plan. She agreed that she'll be part of it she thought it would be funny. ==

== Today we were having Pizza for lunch. Good thing I don't like the Pizza because that was what we were using for the prank. So we put it in a big sandwich bag that aniya had. when the bell rang we was the last ones to leave upstairs. When we got in the classroom Mr.Boll asked why were we late. We said we wasn't done eating. he said ok have a seat.Aniya told him that he was wanted in office 211 with Mrs.Polk. He left Mrs.Polk really needed im there so we didn't need an excuse. So I was to hold the laptop turn it on and go to his notepad and put. LOOK UNDER YOUR LAPTOP. Destiny would put the pizza under it. And Aniya was the lookout. so we had about 5-10 mins to do all that. ==

== About 20 mins later Mr.Boll opened his laptop.He logged on. He read it .He was looking confused. He picked up his laptop......."Who did this to my compter!?!" Nobody knew. For once everyody was doing their work except for us. Everybody laughed at first. Then they said it wasnt me. We also said that. We told Mr.boll stay here well go get a Security Gaurd. On are way to the bathroom even though we were supposed to get a security gaurd. We made a pact. if 1 of us gets caught then all of us get caught and we all get in trouble for it. so we made a deal. ==
