School memories

Written by: Douglas Molinari




Memory is the process of retaining and recalling past experience of storing information from the past, sometimes years, months, or even years. Allowing for the reuse of all previous and current experiences, as well as assisting in maintaining consistency between what was and what was going to be.



Although I can't say I remember every fun moment I’ve had at school, I know for a fact that the water balloon war is an event that stands out in my memory. It was a lot of fun to interact with the teachers and other students as we threw balloons filled with water at each other. The cafeteria was selling some good stuff that day as well. Although we had a great time, being wet and then having to change clothes after the event was not my cup of tea, but I was surrounded with some of my best friends.


My time at school has been pleasant and interesting. I've accomplished quite some things, such as assisting teachers, as well as projects for the science fair, technology assignments like Pseint, excel, writing essays, and spelling bees. The Ghostbuster dance we did as a class is another great memory I cherish. That event was fun for me, not just because of the dancing, but also because of how upbeat everyone was. I was quite proud of the entire team because it was one of the best performances of that evening. The pressure from our classmates made it quite challenging.



I also remember the mini-olimpiadas, which were a great occasion planned by our PE teacher, particularly for sports fans. Unfortunately, unlike other of my classmates, I didn't get any medals. I actually hurt myself trying to jump over a tiny barrier. I was really expecting to take home a medal, but the most important thing is I enjoyed the activity such as everyone else, made new friends, and practiced a sport.



Last but not least, one of our science fairs, which was held about seven years ago. I remember worrying as I prepared because it was our first science fair. We were having trouble with the project since we lacked experience, though we managed to get a good grade. I had the opportunity to win a prize alongside my outstanding classmates.

Grade Activities

Written by: Andrea Urcuyo Education has been constantly changing. Teachers have had to rethink the way they approach us. One way to have us put our creativity out there and learn how to work in teams has been through projects. These projects can help us improve in many ways. For instance, in our English class we have been collaboratively working on a website. Other grades have been assigned similar activities. Through these projects we are able to improve our vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and speaking skills. 9th grade has been assigned a marketing challenge. They were divided into 2 groups and had to choose a product they would like to upgrade. Each team had to decide on a logo, slogan and all the marketing strategies necessary to promote their product. They followed a structured pdf given by Ms. Buezo not to get lost. They will promote the product around the school and whoever gets the most votes will win.  10th graders have been working on a website. The job was divided in...

Mental Health Advice

Written by: Jafeth Peña Edited by: Daira Ordóñez Sometimes we’re all in need of some words of wisdom that will help us realize that things aren’t as bad as they seem. It is important that you know that if you fail one day, you try to get up and do it again. Through failure, you learn to be successful, don't give up! That applies to all aspects in life, but the main purpose of this is how you feel with school. Maybe I might not be the ideal person to give some advice in how to deal with the education you are receiving, but I do know a thing or two that have helped me through this path. School is the place where we learn, laugh, stress, and even cry. It is impossible to never stress about homework, things not going the way you wanted, not having a perfect day, in between others. Nevertheless, there are more good days than bad days, and what matters is, we are alive. You should try not to think about the things that are constantly worrying you, yes, your assignments are definitely imp...
