There is no need for 'sum' and 'total'. Here's a working version of
your program. Look at the differences with your attempt.
----------
print "We need to count to 100"
high_number = 100
total = input("Enter your first number ") # first total is the fist
number
while total < high_number:
print "Not there yet..."
number = input("Enter another number ")
total = total + number # Add the new number to the total
print "We are there!!!"
----------
Good luck !
As others have pointed out, 'input' is a function to be careful with.
You could use answer=raw_input(...) and then convert the result to an
int by using number=int(answer).
