Since half of the stuff in the "ghetto" thread sounds like some suburb kids tryin to sound cool, here's checklist guide for you all. You are NOT ghetto/from the ghetto if....
...You've NEVER heard your neighborhoods name on the news in a negative way.
You've never seen a roach in your house
You've NEVER EVER EVER had cars parked in the grass for weeks at a time
You've never watched a drug bust while sitting on your own front porch.
You've never heard gunshots at nite
You've never seen the cops in your neighborhood after dark...
These are just a few of the minimal requirements. If haven't experienced at least 4 of the 6 listings....you are NOT from the ghetto.

If you not from Oak Cliff, you wouldn't know so how are you telling me what it's like and you never been. Mr. Admin, don't make assumptions about people you know absolutely nothing about. I am no where near rich that's why I express much frustration on this board when people ASSume that all Hampton students are rich. When looking for a college I could have stayed in Texas, where it's cheaper, but I wanted a different experience and to get out of where I came from. I knew price would be an issue but my mom told me not to worry and to not let money get in the way of choosing a better education. I'm on 100% loans and my mom, who is 53 and could have retired because she's been working the same job for 33 years, is still busting her **** for me to stay here at Hampton cause she knows I enjoy it and I'll recieve a quality education. We don't have home phone, the lights and water have been off many of times, and my mom had to give up her car all because of me being in college. I grew up and continue to live in a neighborhood that hold so many people back but because of prayer and my mother raising me right, I was able to rise above that and unlimit myself and my dreams. Don't tell me who or what I am trying to be. Research and ask because you ASSume things about people you don't know.
