In schools, we are supposed to be perfect, right? With perfect grades and perfect math scores and perfect this and perfect that, well in reality most schools don’t care about the children that they teach. I know one school that does. The very school I go to. In our small charter school outside of San Lorenzo, California, we, KIPP Summit Academy, are a ‘perfect’ school, right? In fact no we are not. We may have great grades, and a great library, but our attitude and actions affect not only us, but everyone around us.

About a week ago, two students were throwing rocks over into a neighbor’s back yard, trying to get it into the neighbor’s pool, and in the process, breaking a window. We all decided that we were really sorry and wanted to try to help fix that window that the two students had broken. We are really sorry that they had to pick up for something that they didn’t even do. We are also sorry about how the community might feel about our school, and how we are not the well behaved kids we are.

I feel that everyone was to blame for this incident. I feel really sorry for the people that live in this particular house, because their house was violated, and they had to pick up after something that they didn’t even do. I think that someone could of stud up for our team, so that we wouldn’t have to go all the way to this big dilemma. I really think that the people that had thrown the rocks would be really sorry for what they had done. I wish that they didn't do what they did, but we can’t go back in time, to re-do something but all we can do is try to prevent that from happening again. Also what I feel is that I could have done something about this, because I saw that they were throwing the rocks, but I encouraged them by laughing.

If there was anything we could do to improve the community, we would be glad to fix it. What we could do to improve our community is to ask them to for give us, and possibly be able to gain all of there trust back in to the community. We could send out card that show how sorry we are, and how we could be a better school. We are really sorry about what had happened.

I wish that we could go back in time, but we cant, all we can do is fix the problem, so that it never happenes again. We could have all stoped it, but we chouse to laugh at it instead. we all became a part of this community, but we all chouse to not be apart of it, so that we could have had more friends. I wish that i was responcible enough that i would of stopped them. I really wish that we could go back in time and re-do that moment.
