. . . Sometimes A Bummer Having members of your family in school could be o bummer or a blessing An unusual siruorion is having ro associ- ate both ar school and home Many students commented about having their kin ar Garber High School Many students love having brothers and sisrers ro leech off of A student (Anonymous) commented, I love it. I ger all my older brothers homework papers Another srudenr commented I like it, because I always ger a ride ro school and home. Bur clearly, leeching off older and wiser brothers and sisrers was nor the only thing studenrs had on their minds Many Garber High School students with older siblings had ro pur up with the old ploy, Didn't I have your brorher sisrer in one of my classes? Many students believed that this situation may have affected their grades in some way, bur surely our teachers were honorable and wouldn't THINK of raking sibling re- lations into account when grading. Having younger brothers and sisrers in rhe high school, however, was a lor different than having them older' Com- ments from rhe younger brorhers and sisrers about their older siblings ranged from “She ignores me ro We never see each other ro He helps me our sometimes! Usually, though students found it wasn’t so bad Being a rwin ar Garber High School presenred a totally different siruorion Senior John Giffel commented Lisa and I ger along well ar school and or home We're rhere ro give each other moral support. It's also nice ro hove a good friend ro turn too! I like having her rhere. One fomily in rhe school had two students that are nor twins, bur they are in rhe same grade Stacy ftambo com- mented, It's nice ro have someone help me with homework, bur some- times it can be rhe pits when your mother finds our things you don't want her to. — Lisa Giffel
