Hamtramck High School

Also known as Ham high, is a sad, dingy school in the middle of Hamtramck, by Gallagher St. The building is comparative of a mental asylum, and the people within the building truly reflect that. From its baby-shit colored brick exterior to its continuously brown and dirty interiors, Ham High is a charm. There's always an influx of ESL immigrants, and the kids are fuckin wild. They go behind their parents' backs and do horrible shit. The boys are horrible human beings who like to speed the entire city and create potential accidents. Backed by mommy and daddy for "boys will be boys," these egotistic rats like emotionally and physically harassing girls. Along with the abysmal and cobweb filled classroom, are the illiterate deadbeat teachers that don't know what the hell they're doing. The "Cosmos" team is a joke and the overwhelming sense of pride for this school is laughable. Don't go there if you don't want to be grabbed by a musty wannabe-gangsta brown boy!
"Hey Babe, I'm from Ham High. Where you from?"

"Ew creep. Let's get out of here, this pervert's from Hamtramck High School! Who knows what he'll do."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
