NHD

NHD was difficult. It was hard, kinda stressful, and a little annoying. However, it wasn't all that bad. I enjoyed learning about my topic. I was very interested in the Bible Riots, and that probably helped me to complete my project. My paper was 28 hundred and some words, and I was proud of myself. The most I expected of my paper was "It isn't great, but it 'qualifies'", but, I actually made it to city's, not that I'm too thrilled about that. When my paper was being judged, I was not worried or scared at all, cause it didn't matter to me whether or no I made it to city's, all I wanted was for people to realize that my topic is very important in Philadelphia's history, and all the problems then, still exist today.

Students in this school over exaggerate on how horrible NHD was. I just say they need to "get of the cross, cause we need the wood". They don't realize that NHD was stressful to the teachers as well as the students. Teachers had their classes cut short for us, they worked in the workshops with us; teachers sacrificed a lot for us, and they didn't have to. I understand what Mr. Brasof about how "other teachers in other schools called students assholes, and how thats wrong", but I think, for some of the students here, they ARE! The students are very ungrateful for what the teachers did for them. All they did was bitch and whine about how "Mr. or Ms. so and so didn't help me with this" or "They gave us too much work." GET OVER IT! Maybe if you, the students, spent more time actually working on the project, rather than whining about it, you would have actually gotten something done. NHD wasn't that hard, you just make it harder on yourself, by not doing the work, or complaining about. If you just do it and get it done, wouldn't life be easier? Why do you make it harder on yourselves? Just get it done. It would be way more easier to just do it and get it don't, stop over-complicating things.

I will cordially like to thank all the teachers for what they did. Not to be suck up (which I probably sound like), but the teachers were really helpful. If weren't for them, we wouldn't have gotten anything done. No one would have gotten to city's had it not been for the teachers, and we should be grateful.
