Miley Cyrus in Math Class

There was a big debate about Miley Cyrus and these pictures that leaked out on the Internet when she was at slumber party. There was students that said she was a bad role model for the kids while others said that alot of young children know about sex. There was a girl that said there are 14 year olds at this school that are engaging in intercourse. I think people shouldn't get entertainers confused with role models, parents, or community leaders. They are not suppose to be role models for persons kids. Allot of kids are influenced by the things that occur in their house. There are parents that will say "I don't want my kid to watch or listen to that" but they will use every foul word in the book and do every disrespectful thing in the world and don't think that influence their children.What ignorant people?HarlemLIVe what do you all think?

Hola

Hey what's up guys? Hope you guys are doing well. I haven't been around the blog for a little while but now i am, and everything is going well with me. My Spring break was good, i had a get together with my friends, and i slept a lot. I went to the Sterling Mine in New Jersey with my class and it was fun. But it was a little scary at first because the mine is old, and a little muddy, but it was cool though. They have a fluorescent room where the lights were off and you could see yourself in different colors and see rocks in rainbow colors too, that was the most fun of all! The worst part of the trip was when i got car sick and that sucks, and since then I've been really sick. Well guys i can't write too much because i feel sick so hasta la vista lol... xoxo

hey what's up?

Hey you guys it me Angie and I've been finishing  up my project with Columbia university it been a real experiences work them I learned a lot.I haven't been coming I a lot bot I've been  very busy working to projects but next week every week I'll  be coming non-stop. so keep me posted on things that happen here at HL.  

SAT 's!!!!!!!

Today is a good day kind of, i get out of school early every Wednesday. I was kind of tired when i got out so i went home and got like a 2hrs nap. My last two periods of school my counselor was helping me sign up for the SAT' 's. I am taking them in June, but since i am a junior i am going to take them like twice more. People make such a big deal about them because they are very important. I guess i will start to freak out when i become a senior. I should of taken it all the chances i had this year, it would of made it much easier on myself. My cousin gave me two big prep books from Princeton review and i should start studying them. Hopely i get a very high score on it so i wont have to take them over. I wish i would of took my junior year more serious but my grades are so good it's just that i really didn't put what college i want to go to to thought or the SAT'S. This whole summer i am going to studying for the SAT's and decide what college is best for me but at least i know what i want to do in the future. My counselor was talking about how Harvard could be a good school for me and if i get accepted since i am considered a minority my tuition is free. That is so cool, I need to start believing in myself more because so many people do and thinking of that encourages me to work hard until it hurts and when it hurts work a little more harder!

Excited for SUMMER.

The weather has been getting nicer everyday (excluding today,) and camp is right around the corner :)

I'm sad that I won't be at HarlemLive for about 2 months, but this is my last year as a camper at camp, so im super DUPER excited to be going for such a long period of time. I go to an awesome camp named Morry's camp, and this is my seventh year going.

In present time, I'm working hard to get A's in ALL my classes, and leave my sophomore year feeling good about what I've accomplised.

I've also been thinking about some new story topics, and the one that sounds the most interesting right now is going to the Drug Peace March. I don't know much about it, but I'm pretty sure it involves people supporting the legalization of marijuana. Crazy stuff.

Come on People

I recently read COME ON PEOPLE by Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint. I thought there would have been some direct comments against poor people but it wasn't that way. There was alot of helpful advice that they gave to help improve the situations in low-economic areas. Some of the topics that they address were raising children, educating children, and how to address wrongs in the community. I'm not sure if this was the book that was criticized so harshly but I saw it as being helpful. I wonder if anyone at HarlemLIVE has read it?

who am i?

I can make you rise or fall. I can work for you or against you. I can make you a sucess or failure.
I control the way that you feel and the way that you act.
I can make you laugh..work...love. I can make your heart sing with joy...achievement...elation.. Or I can make you wretched..dejected..morbid
I can mke you sick...listless...I can be as a shackle... heavy...attached..burdesome...lost forever unless captured by pen or purpose.
I can be nurtured and grown to be a great and beautiful...seen by the eyes of others through action in you.
I can never be removed..only replaced.
Who am I?

Today when I got to Harlemlive I posted 3 stories I know i could have posted 5 but, other students were tapping into my computer chancing my surrounding so it was difficult for me to get my work done. I thought that today it was goin to be a warm day like it was all week but when i woke up this morning it was raining super hard. 

Boring Monday!!

OMG what a day. Today is Monday, is Raining, not that hot and is The first day of school After spring break. What a day. Well today my hair got mess up of course because of the stupid rain. I hate this day because i like hot days and today is not hot thanks god the summer is around the corner. Today although it was rainy and all that it was cool because i pass my Living enviroment Mid-term with a good grade and also because today i begin my diet and i am actually following it!!! iam so happy!!!! I wasnt to lose 10 pounds or more by the end of june!! i hope i can do it because summer time is almost here and with this belly i am not showing no SKIN.

So bye!!!

Back in school

Today was a killer, oh my god i had the killer headache early and it lasted all day. Now i am at HL eating a sandwich and it's making me feel so much better. I had to rally up everything i did for this month to put them on a point paper. I am having a kind of tuff time ending my LIFEbeat story in a interesting way but i think i got it. It should be finish it by the end of the day and then i would send them to my email editors. I hope the rest of week be good cause my spring break wasn't all that but i guess i get over it cause summer vacation is right around the corner. Even though the vacation should of been a just a little bit longer. Whoever wrote that blog about Sean Bell and the court thing spoke the truth, i totally agree. Later everyone i should be back sometime this week.

Harold & Kumar Do It Again

Hey HL bloggers welcome back to school & for those that have been gone from HarlemLIVE. It seems like just yesterday Harold & Kumar where craving White Castle . That movie was my motivation to eat white castle . I still remember the cheetah ruining after Harold and when they got on top of it .I saw Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay I loved it , there tack ticks to get out of Guantanamo Bay were Funny . The main theme of the movie again was to find something or someone they crave . As usual smoking anything is a must for them . I hope you have had a great vacation . If you have time and wanna b entertained I definitely recommend this movie .

XOXO

HL Facebook page

Hey everybody,

I set up a facebook group for HL. If you are not a facebook user, you'll have to create a user id, etc. first, then you can join the HarlemLive group (the group is set to "open" so that anyone on facebook can join it).

Is there a group picture of all the current HL participants out there that can be uploaded? Or do you want it to just have the HL logo? Let me know. I didn't set up any "officers" for the page because that's something that should be decided by all of you.

OK, let me know what's good...

Bianca.

In on Sunday

OK, this is my first time ever posting a blog, writing a blog, blogging, however you say it. I'm at Harlem Live today here to support Nyiesha. She's interviewing a Christian rap group that will be in later today.
I was in on Monday, and it was kind of a slow day because of Spring Break. It gave me a chance to read a lot of the new stories on the website. I really enjoyed reading Laredo's, Nyiesha's, and Dyeemah's feature pieces since I've worked with them on some things. I enjoyed reading the blogs, too. I could identify with Kennequa being shy here at first, but feeling comfortable later. I felt the same way. At first, I was very timid about going "out on the street," since I'm a writer, but not a journalist. Now, I'm liking it. Thanks everyone for making volunteering fun and letting me learn from you.
Something's smelling good in the kitchen, so I'll end this here.

50 shots and No justice!

Friday afternoon, everyone throughout the city saw how much Sean Bell life meant to Judge Arthur cooper when he acquitted the police officers of all charges. He stated that witness testimonials, the criminal history of the victims, and position the police were in had helped him make this decision in this case. It's obvious there is something wrong with this judge because there's no need to fire 50 bullets into one vehicle even if you suspect someone has gun. Second, detective Michael Oliver reloaded his firearm more than once therefore he had time to see if these individuals had a gun or not. Also the testimony of the police appear to be somewhat inconsistent because they say that Sean Bell and his associates bumped into their car and later they changed their story into that he had a gun. I don't think I was the only one that observed that. Is Judge Cooper trying to convey that it is perfectly find to shoot and murder someone if they supposedly "bumped" your car and that they had a prior record of convicts which may not mean anything because everyone knows how public defenders force their clients to plea guilty to something even if they know they didn't do it?

Virginia Life

Hey guys, it Chantaysha postin a blog from VA. My springbreak has been very relaxing just wat my doctor ordered me to be having. I seen my dad and my other relatives. But I been basically relaxing during this whole vacation. Other than that I miss home and I miss my friends. Most of all I miss Damien. Also I miss being at HL. I became so used to my schedule that it feels weird not to be at HL around 4 till 8. But I'm coming back on friday and I can't wait. Until den lata. ^_^

Spring break

Hello everybody, my vacation is going good so far. The weather is nice, what more could we ask for.  But my vacation is going so fast and i don't want it to because i need a vacation. Today i am at Harlemlive, we are fixing up and everything. I missed the trip earlier today but selly said they going to go on another one. This week i been studying to take all my regents for i could take them all over and get real high grades on them. I been thinking of my future lately, i really want to be successful in life. I decided i want to be a lawyer at a good law firm. I am still thinking 0f what college to go to, but i think i want to go out the state though. I have to decide by the end of the summer for i could sign up for finical aid and scholarships. Hopely i get a full scholarships, that would be so good. Later everybody hope u enjoy the rest of your week. 

Heyyy

Hey, hope you guys are enjoying these beautiful days of lots of sun and increasingly, crazy temperature, but that's what we asked for so here we have it and we can't complaint. This week has been really interesting, yesterday we went to The New York Times and today we went to CBS. OMG it was so much fun, i loved the studios and is so cool being live, at the moment when the news are actually on session. The newscasts were very nice and they gave us some good advices, at least for me they were helpful because i want to major in broadcast journalism. The control room has like a million buttons and they are so complicated but overall i loved it, it was a great experience being at CBS, i can't wait to go into another TV station. The New York Times was interesting too but it's not a place where i see myself working, but it was cool. It's huge and very calm. Well guys enjoy your spring break am sure enjoying mine. Hasta la vista guys xoxo

Here is a pic of Steph and me, the day we went bike riding and i almost killed her! (not literally)

Day At CBS!!!

OMG today was so fun because we went to CBS studios to see when they were doing the news. It was so much fun because we got to go into the control room and we also saw the journalist give the news. It also fun because i got to meet the journalist and actually talk to them and ask questions.I was also impressed with the control room becase it has so many screens and so many buttons that those man need to deal with that i was amazed how they did it so well without making any mistakes.

cbs studio visit

wow has this been a wonderful day and wonderful week so far I've been so many different places and today was one great experience, i went to CBS studio and we got the full tour of the studio which was so good i never felt this involve before and i seen how they cut and add things into the whole time we watch the news. i felt as if i was in a whole new world. i got to talk to Dana Tyler and Jim Rosenfield and we got a chacne to take pics with them and ask a few questions which made them seem more cool than i thought.
