Lost && Found

Not surprising to hear CC may possibly loose their accreditation due to the LACK of...basically EVERYTHING! I am not even trying to be funny when I say the county is a disgrace to sin itself. I can vouch for this...why?! because yes, I am from...this sad sad county, smh.

Personally, I think things went downhill with Clayton County Public schools when I hit High School. I mean it was a little sketchy in Middle School too but High School was no joke in CC. Not OJ'n when I say I learned the following things from attending Morrow High:
A. How to professionally dodge a bullet-You simply drop first. I had teachers in my freshmen year teaching us on how to dodge bullets verses the formation and accumulation of one. The parking lot shootings resulted in Morrow not being able to have any after school events for a while. Pep rallies, dances, and other functions non-sports related was not the thing for us.

B. How to get pregnant-Well I failed this test (Thank God) but I cannot name at least ten girls who failed with me today. Not one...but two or more....there were girls working on their second and third child by graduation. Four of my homegirls (bless their hearts) has yet to finish high school and was forced to drop out due to...small things BUT I do know some girls who did finish and is doing the damn thing now in college...working..pursuing those goals. However, when I talk to them...they all wish their planning was more smoother.

C.How to mourn-The deaths...period-probably the last straw for my parents.

Despite the lack of effort that is put into the CC public schooling district I do not blame the teachers at all. My teachers were my mentors...and I mean...so what I learned more about life than it's synonyms, they taught me how to love, appreciate, and fight (the right way) for it. My bestfriend and I always laugh at our MHS memories of how we use to go to talent shows and have to sit on the first bleacher because of a possible gun pull. Or how we use to have weekly seminars on gang violence then witness the fights that followed RIGHT after them. Or even laugh hard at how we use to get suspended together over some b/s! The memories are just that for us...luckily we both left the county and graduated with gpa's that were 3.0+.

Not saying people are a true product of their environment because I know of graduates, one being my sister, that did the damn thing after MHS...will continue to excel. However, the environment does play it's evil role too. I can def. vouch for that...I felt ashamed when I moved to a totally different area. My speech...most importantly was a huge difference and I had to work as twice as hard to keep my vocabulary up to par, smh. Ha..and of course the improvement was swell!

Idk...good luck CC!
