School Times - Raphael Mayer 3A

   

School Times

   I remember a few things of my old school, because I had been in a bad situation. I remember my friend Brito. He was so funny. We were always talking about technology, science, philosophy, videogames. Basically nerd things, boy things as well. I don't like to tell the bad situations there, because I had a lot of it. My old classmates didn't have respect and decency, but that's not important anymore to write about it.


   
    I enter last year in João and it change a lot. I've been very well receive here. I remember the day I met Ramón. I was reading Noite na Taverna when he suddenly appear from nowhere. He said to me hi, and he asked with I wanna to walk and talk with him. I said later. And later we have done it. Since that day we walked together, we are friends. Later Junga enter in our group and Nikolas as well.
      I fell happier today, with the guys (Igorzin, Dani, Dedé, Gabão, Liposa and Petão of course), the guys from the music group, the teachers and with my class.

When I was four years old I entered Joao XXIII, and started to make ballet and I met

Catharina, we became really friends. We had an awesome friend(whose

name I can't remember), the thing about him that made him awesome, was that he was the only boy that wasn't ashamed to play "mamãe e filinha" with me and my friends, but unfortunelly his family moved to Australia in the middle of the year.

And I felt really sad, because we wouldn't have a dad to play anymore. In 2006 I started the ensino fundamental and met Isabella, after some time Isabella, Catharina and I were best friends and we did everything together. 

In fifth grade I started to study in the morning, and by consequence I stopped talking to them, as much as I did before. And then I met Luisa Dall'Agnol and we travelled a lot together, in the eighth grade we met Julia and we travelled togheter to London. There we had some great adventures and our friendship  really got stronger.

In the third year of high school, I changed classes, and moved to a really great class, with really great people, that certainly  made a difference in my third year.

A bit about my school life

My school life is made by three different schools experiences; I am going to talk about two of them, which I spent in Brazil. 

João Paulo I - The place I frequented since I was 4 years old to 15 years old. I spent the majority of the school years in that school. A place where I spent my childhood, learned the alphabet and wrote the introduction of the story of my life. As I imagine it is to everyone, specially as a child, the school is like your second home, where you make your first friends, have a wonderful time playing games and create a sense of sharing and learning. It was in João Paulo where I met my best friends, which have been with me for many years, living the craziest stories and making things easier. In the begging years, João Paulo was great. But then, a time where I started questioning things and wondering if the conservative way they taught the subjects and the way they did not talked about other things rather than what "vestibular" would ask us, if that was what I wanted as a base for my founding knowledge. I decided it wasn't. I wanted something more human and natural. I wanted somewhere where they value your qualities, appreciate and incentive you to be the best version of yourself not a mold of what society is expecting. So, that is the reason I went to João XXIII.

João XXIII- I spent 2 years in this school and I am already full of beautiful and great memories about it. I moved to the school by myself, I just knew one or two people there. It was a brave thing, I have to admit it. In the first months I was very welcomed by my friendly classmates and everyone made me feel comfortable and included. That was cool. I remember I was very surprised about the differences between people, everyone was so weird in such a nice way. In my old school, there were a lot of arrogant and snob people who I am sure would not make you feel good about you wanting to express yourself. And here, no one cares. Of course nowhere is perfect and sometimes, mostly nowadays, I can't "take" school anymore and I just feel is ending when it should. I am ready and excited and scared to move on and face different challenges. I believe this 2 years had contributed so positively to who I am and I am very thankful to the teachers I had and the friends I made.

Heloisa - 3C - 2016

I'm in JoaoXXIII since I was 1, since 2001. I have many stories, but my favorite has to be from fifth grade, I think.
I got into creepy stuff and ghosts, so I started calling the "bathroom blonde", sort of like bloody mary. I had a big ritual and all, it was creepy ahahah!! But I started scaring the other girls and their parents started to talk to the principal, so they asked me to stop...
Now I am graduating with most of these girls but what scares them -and me- now is the uncertainty of the future. What will it be like next year? Bathroom Blonde doesn't seem so bad now.

When I started studying in the mornings, it was really different and scary. There were much more kids and the pressure to fit in grew a lot.
In the first days it was really harder to wake up so early. I would sleep in class even. I had to adjust all my schedule and everything.
One of my best friends switched schools, but I made many new friends.
I'm glad that I got used to it, I even sort of like it now. I have all my afternoons cleared up to study and do whatever I want, which is great!

I entered the school in 2006, I live with many people and spent several important moments from the year that I entered the school.

But the moments that really marked me happened from the seventh grade in 2011, the year of travel for the Missions. The first trip where we would spend the night outside.

The following year was the trip to São Paulo, which was one of the greatest expectations of the year .. All very looking forward to it with previous years reports of the will and anxiety increased every day .. And when the day came, it was exciting because it was not a normal output, as here until the Quinta Resort where we had gone several times, but a plane trip to another state with the school. And the long-awaited day has passed so quickly that I just wanted to come back. In addition to the trip to São Paulo, that year was also the year of graduation, a long-awaited moment for many people, time would pass from one phase to another, where we would leave the key and would enter on average, more responsibilities, more materials more pressure but also more stories, they are good or bad.

Came the first year when we had to make a short film about a story, our group was seven girls and one boy, which made it more difficult, but no less funny, on the contrary, never laughed so much as those recordings. And Jessica and I were part of a short fellow, the detail of this whole story is that I did everything to not appear in the short of my group and appeared in another.

In the second year the best part was when we did the FMA, a job that had to make a music parodies with the three laws of Newton and record a video singing. But I do not how to speak well of this epoch for the simple fact that I have repeated the year, but do not want to go into detail about this..

In the second second year, we had some good things, among them have made new friends, and have made another video of the AMF, taking into account that this was a project of the second year.

Third year (Hallelujah) the year of graduation, as expected, which is being very productive with various learning and already feeling of longing. After all, eleven years in a school, more than half of my life, is not little, sure many lived moments will stay in the memory forever, and the nostalgia of childhood days and adolescents, where we could go wrong and the world in charged both , will stay. But it will not be greater than the fault that some people will make in our lives are years of seeing the same people and the same environment, for "Suddenly" is over and we have to kind of forced to move on stage, phase with more responsibilities and duties, and where we see that the world is not as easy as within the school walls.

Gianny Maydana e Laura Gomes 3C

I (Gianny) went to school in 2011 and I (Laura) in the year 2014. In the sixth grade Gianny met new people and soon had to adapt to new colleagues again because the three groups were divided to form two. In this exchange best he met an already friend named Valentina, who also became Laura's friend after entering the first year of high school.

This year came two friends who became important people: Leticia and Laura. This year, the three of us became best friends. During this whole high school career many things happened -mainly fun - such as Laura say that a substitute teacher had breath and needed an umbrella to protect his spittle without realizing that she was behind, Laura and know andre could not sing the national anthem, made mistakes as: ouviram do epiranga e um povo herói conrado e retumbante.

During the first year Laura won the macaulay nickname because of an inside joke (an allusion to actor Macaulay Culkin). Gianny was colicky, was asking for a remedy for a girl of eighth graders, and asked that Laura was with her, it was raining and Laura fell on the stairs bouncing on the steps until it stops. In short shows the short Laura was muted and she became very angry (it's very funny to see her angry). Along the way we both were not very close to the rest of the class, although we kept a good relationship with all, we were very focused on the study, taking advantage of each class and each work, we intend to study medicine and would love to be colleagues again.
