Legacy

Dear Future Graduate's of Stephenson High School,

As my journey here ends I want to leave you with some encourging words.
As you walk the hallways of Stephenson as a Junior, Sophmore, or Freshman.
You may not realise it but these halls are your first step to the real world.
As tough as it maybe to understand it is molding you for the years to come.

If you are a Freshman please please please take your 9th grade year seriously.
If I could do High School all over that would be the 1st year I would like to repeat.
It was difficult coming from to C's to the current 3.4 core gpa that I have.
Please don't set yourself up to have to bring yourself back up.

Sophmore's, This year is where the cream of the crop is picked from the group. You've gone from major babying to tough situatuions. The work load has changed and this would also be your 2nd year so you will be a little comfortable about High School. But make sure you get the best grades possible here because it will help you in the long run.

Junior's...The Prince and Princess of the school. This year is really the year that you really don't have to worry about. Yes you still have classes but the Graduation Test is about all you need to worry about. Other than that you should be preparing for your Senior year and year's after. Please take the SAT and ACT. If you start early and you do it a few times. You may soon master it. Practice makes perfect.

For all my fellow Senior's, WE DID IT. But that's just the strat of all of our endeavors. I hope everyone will take college seriously or whatever there forte' is. Because we are the future.

See ya May 22nd

At It Again!!

I went to Federick Douglass Prom last saturday. I couldn't wear the dress I wanted.

I don't know what's wrong with this dress but no school seems to approve it.

Luckily my date vest was one of the colors in the dress i wore to my prom.

So I decided to wear it.

On the left is my 2nd time in the dress. On the right is my 1st.

Which time won?

Same for the picture with my date. First time on the right and second on the left.

Which time was better?

ell, I have many other proms to go too. Hopefully May 9th SWD let's me wear my other dress.

Stay Tuned and we will see.

Prom

....The yearly formal event has come again.

Why do people look for such an event? IDK?

My prom experience was starting off awlful.

My name wasn't on the list period on thursday.

I didn't get any party favors,I had to wait til the actual prom to get them.

I was getting a stress pimple.

Saturday I went to my mama hair stylist and she was so slow.

I hated her. No tip. LOL!! My hair was pretty though.

Because the hair lady was slow I had to rush from downtown to Stonecrest to make my Make-up appt on time. Which I did by a slight 5 mins. But when I got there someone was at the lady that does my make-up. So I wait...wait & wait. Then another lady came.

She started my make-up but people kept coming to the stand so she hand to work them in.
I sa Tyreek while I was waiting for her to ring up a customer then Jasmine Embry and Teresa Nelson. I got home and my family didn't clean up at all. And everyone was coming to my house at 4:00 p.m. My mom got home and cooked little finger foods to snack on.

4:00 p.mm came and I waited waited and waited and no one showed up.

I called and they all said they weren't going to make it.

My boyfriend was in traffic on 20. I was so heart broken because I took all week making the schedule. I know it wasn't going to go to the tee but they was way off.

Well Courtney called and said she would be on the way and my Boyfriend had just pulled up.that

So i was happy when I saw that 09 Crystler 300.

We went in and we waited and waited so we snacked on the finger foods.

My bestfriend came threw to see me off to prom.

After he left Willie and I decided to go outside and take pics and wait on them.

Then I saw a mass amount of cars turn on my street. I was so happy it was them.

We was late for our reservation at Papa Duex though but they said we could get there in 20 mins and they would save our seats.

That didn't happen because the parents wanted to take pitures of us.

Finally on the way!!

We didn't make it to Papa Duex so we went to Red Lobster.

I had a great time with my true friends, Willie, Carlton, Crystal, Christina,Courtney,Brandon,Aaron,Ashley, & Kayln.
Well I could you will have to wait for Prom Part 2. To hear the rest.

Bad Bad Bad Teacher

Tigia M. Finn
Posted by: Webmaster in FE-MV, Georgia, High Schools, Louisiana
(01/23/09 - Initial BadBadTeacher.com Report)

Tigia M. Finn, 34, of recent a math teacher at Stephenson High School in Stone Mountain, Georgia is reportedly being sought by Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana sheriff’s deputies on a 4 1/2-year-old warrant on allegations of her having a longstanding sexual relationship with a then-high-school student.


In a deposition filed in May 2008 in civil litigation over the relationship, Ronnie T. Wesby who is now 25 alleges that he had a romance with Finn for several years that included sexual liaisons in her classroom in spring 1999 and later at her apartment. Wesby’s law suit filed in February 2005, which Wesby’s attorney offered recently to settle, names Finn and the Tangipahoa Parish School Board as defendants.

The September 14, 2004 arrest warrant for felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile, although still active, has never been executed for more than four years according to a Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s spokeswoman who indicated that the warrant had never been entered into the National Crime Information Center system which would have made its existence known nationwide.

Reportedly on Thursday morning, before school officials became aware of the Louisiana allegations against Finn, she resigned from the DeKalb County school where she has worked for the past year and a half.

Since the arrest warrant was never entered into the National Crime Information Center system school officials in Georgia were not aware of her status in Louisiana at the time she was hired.

01/27/09 - Finn Turns Herself In

On Monday, Tigia M. Finn surrendered to Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s deputies and was booked into the parish jail in on a count of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile.

Finn was subsequently released on $2,500 bond.

Reportedly a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office confirmed that Schirra Finn Sr., Tigia Finn’s brother, is a deputy whose time with the Sheriff’s Office goes back to at least July 2004, when Sheriff Daniel Edwards first took office.

Cheating!!!!

Cheating (also called gulling) is an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. Cheating implies the breaking of rules.

The term "cheating" is less applicable to the breaking of laws, as illegal activities are referred to by specific legal terminology such as fraud or corruption. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity.With regard to human relationships, couples tend to expect sexual monogamy of each other. If so, then cheating commonly refers to forms of infidelity, particularly adultery.


However, there are other divisions of infidelity, which may be emotional. Cheating by thinking of, touching and talking with someone you are attracted to may be equally damaging to one of the parties. Emotional cheating may be correlated to that of emotional abuse, which to date is treated as seriously in a court of law as physical cheating. With the expansion of understanding of other cultures, there is a wide spectrum of what cheating means.



When in a committed relationship, the definition of cheating is based on both parties opinions and both parties may redefine their understanding to match the party at an either lower or higher extreme of this definition. Some couples simply believe that cheating constitutes doing anything, whether verbal or physical, that one would not do in front of their significant other. Such examples would include: expressing attraction to another person, electronic communications, kissing, making out, and sexual relations.

I dont agree with cheating. I think you should treat someone the way you want 2 be treated. If you have to go and cheat on somebody you shouldnt be in a relationship at all.

Minor Set Back...

Is there every a time when you cant decifiere between two descions? How do you choose the best one for you? How do you overcome that bump in the road that has you off course? Life gives you many choices everyday. Is there a wrong/right way for picking? Even though your choice will set you on a different route it will always set up back on the main road.

Secret Place!!!

Do you ever wish there was one place in the world that hide you from the rest of the world?

The walls are covered with your thoughts. Only your mind can translate the words that fill the empty room. No one can judge you. No one can see you. No one can take away the peace that the silence of thought brings to you. You think to yourself could such a place exsist. Is this merely a fantasy. Is this what they call a dream. Because its far from reality.

Fear

Have you ever had a horrid feeling, That fills your heart with fear That one day you will not wake up To see a new day appear?
What prompts us to have this feeling? Is it something we've done in our past That didn't seem to bother you before But has caught up with you at last?
I have a friend that has this feeling And it's not a very good one, I should say Living her life wondering if She'll live to see another day.
It's not to say that something is wrong with her But who's to say that there's not. She hasn't been to see a doctor yet However, she hasn't been feeling so hot.
But all this fear rests on her She should have listened to what the Bible said Yet she chose to go her own way And listen to her peers instead.
Now she's the one who is harboring The fear of what may be ahead For one day she may get so ill, Someone may find her dead.
But not all is at lost Because she wised up in time; To look forward to a time & place To where she will have peace of mind.

Sticks & Stones May Break My Bones But Words Will Never Hurt Me!!

Whom ever said the words will never hurt you in the childhood song, Sticks & Stones, was wrong. Words are very powerful. You can turn a very small word into a threat. People feel threatened more often from what you say from how you physically threatened them. There are thousands and thousands of words that are used everyday to verbally abuse someone. You may not know that what you are saying to someone could hurt them more than your fist. Watch what you say because you never know how that person perception is.

Greed

Greed is the selfish desire for or pursuit of money, wealth, power, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others.

Many people are greedy and they don't even know it. What type of satisfaction does a greedy person get from being a complete menace to others. There is more than enough of everything in the world for everyone. And if you don't already have it for yourself that means you don't need it at all. Greed leads to being lonely. Being lonely leads to your self dimiss. Is that what you want for yourself for you to be your own murderer.

Life & Death

Life & Death. Are we really alive walking or merely living a lie. This tree is proclaimed to be alive but you can see that this statement is only 50% true. Are we living a dead life? Will we ever answer the unkown? Life & Death, one in the same. When something dies it brings a new life. They work hand and hand.

Chicago's Big Turn 4 The Gay Community

The Chicago School board has created a school for young people of the Gay Community. The school officals believe that in public school the student's aren't getting a full education because they are being judged. The school will not be for just gay teen's its for any student who is looking for a change in society's eyes. The name of this new school is The School for Social Justice Pride. School officials said the standards and curriculum for the school would be in line with other schools in the district. The school would also offer counseling for students, though because of federal laws, officials cannot ask students about their sexual orientation. The curriculum would not rely on, but would incorporate lessons about, sexual identity in history and literature classes, officials said.
"It's about creating another option for kids," Edelman said. "When it comes down to it, though, it is all about having a choice and providing high-quality options for students, whether they are gay or not."
My question to you is do you think it's right for them to seperate themselves from the rest of the world? Do you think this new school will help the student's? What if this plan for seperation starts a world wide epidemic for all social group?

Race, Color, Presidential Candidates!!!

Why is it that race is a big factor in this years Presidential Election? Does the color of one's skin determine how successful they are? Obama has more than showed his ability to lead this country as President. Currently Senator Obama, is just slightly ahead of McCain. But, the race shouldn't be this close. The media proclaims that the color of Obama's skin is the reason he isn't taking the bigger lead. Why should the color of his skin matter? Black American, White American, they both end in American. If this claims to signify justice, freedom, etc why is the tint of the man's skin holding him back. IT SHOULDN'T MATTER. Take a look at the picture I provided below. With a little picture editing they both seem as equals in my eyes so why cant the rest of the world see this also. You would have to be very uneducated if you vote for a person to lead this country based on the color of his skin. Vote for McCain or Obama because you believe in what they say, vote for them because you know its the right thing to do, vote for them because of leadership skills. Don't blind yourself with this black and white stuff. Use your better judgement and vote for the better person.

Life isn't fair but there are exceptions.

What is Love?

What is love? Is love the feeling in which you lone for someone. Is love when you wait for any sign of communication from this person? Is love the thought of being away from this person more than 12 hours out the day? Is love the same as a good friendship? There are many ways to say this one word but different ways to define it. What is love?

Bad Rep for SHS

Is this the end of Stephenson High School's good reputation or did it go down hill before the fight? Do you think the media made the story bigger than what it was?
