You look expecting water to come rushing out any time and clean off your hands! But it doesn’t! Instead you have to turn on the sink yourself. By... Read more »
What is Your Greatest Fear?
May 6, 2011
The greatest fear I think all teenagers have is a fear of losing one of their family members. Maybe a dad, mom, grand-parent, aunt, uncle, someone they trust and love dearly. There isn’t a day that goes by that I am afraid when I wake up in the morning my mom won’t be there. A lot of young teens... Read more »

A lot of students that I know from my school years prior to coming to SPHS had been bullied in some way, either because of the way they looked, smelled, dressed, or even because of the shoes they wore on their feet. I came from a city elementary, middle and high school, and I have had my share of being... Read more »

Many students at Sparrows Point own a phone by either AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile or Sprint. Those with AT&T have the option of owning an Iphone of their own.

December 6, 2010
