I understand you want to upgrade your MacBook Pro to macOS High Sierra.

The list of Mac models that support or can run macOS High Sierra can be found here: https://www.apple.com/macos/how-to-upgrade/#hardware-requirements

It would appear that your current 2009 MacBook Pro is sadly not supported; only MacBook Pro models that were produced in 2010 are able to run macOS High Sierra.

I neglected to mention that I have a new ss hard drive and 8 GB memory. My processor is a 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo After looking at the specs for a mid 2010 macbook pro, I am assuming that it is the processor that is preventing me from upgrading? Thank you.
