1st Year by Sol Pomar
My favorite thing is not really a thing that I use to do something, but it
is important to me. It is a photo of a trip that I made with some friends.
We traveled to Disneyworld last year and we took this picture in front
of the main attraction of the park “Hollywood Studios”.
This picture is important to me because it reminds me of a very important part of my life which was my 15th birthday. The trip was my birthday present and one of the best trips I have ever had.
My Favorite Thing by Candela Zabala
My favorite thing is not really a thing, it is someone that I love so much.
So I am going to talk about it.
I'm talking about my dog Hanna, a golden retriever. She is two years old
and so big for her age, and I love that. She has got such thin hair that it
falls off a lot. Then I have to brush it twice a day, but I don’t mind doing
it for her.
“My favorite thing is my colour pencil box. I use it to draw eyes because
I am trying to draw realistic things. I want to become better and better
every day. My pencil case is very important to me because I have waited
to buy it for a long time and I love to draw. In that box I have one hundred
and twenty pencils from different kind of colours and it is metallic. I have
had it for a month, since my grandfather gave it to me on my birthday.
Okay, he didn´t give me the box, but the money to buy it.”

Designed by 1st year students
This creative writing project is designed to have students reflect on who they are and what they
stand for. Students are asked, “If you could say three words to the world, what would you
say?”
“Si pudieras decir tres palabras al mundo, qué
dirías?”
“Love yourself first”
The first step to success is to love yourself because you
have to accept how you really are. If you want to love
other people, you have to love yourself first.
– Majo Romay
“Live your dreams”
Try to dream, but not all the time. Just make it happen. Live the dream
and try to be yourself. Be the chance to your dream. Live it and stop
dreaming. Dreaming is good, but making it real, is even better!

“Exhilaration Rewards Risk”
If you live quietly, you will never feel that adrenaline of life. You have to leave a path
behind you. But of course, the risks don’t have to put your health in danger!
- Candela Zabala
“Success is yours”
Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time. Don’t aim for success
if you want it. Just do what you love and believe in it, and it will come naturally. Success
is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. - Samuel Morgenstern

Los alumnos del 1er Año exploran el término “identidad” y comparten
sus pensamientos y experiencias personales a través de un proyecto
de redacción creativa en inglés donde reflejan quiénes son y lo que
representan en poemas, ensayos, mensajes para el mundo en tres palabras.
Exposed to different pieces of writing to improve their writing skills and build
up vocabulary, students later express their own ideas using correct format,
register and grammar structures according to their language proficiency.

Where I Am From
By Fabrizio Meza
I from my sister’s funny jokes
I am from the awesome moments
spent with my cousin under a big
tree
And from the going out with
friends to play football and eat
barbecue.
Where I Am From
By Candela Zabala
I am from the mornings I shared with my grandma
drinking mate, looking at the sunrise,
I am from the smells when my grandma cooked beer chicken
and I ran to the kitchen to try it,
I am from enjoying grandma's company
and strolling around our neighborhood,
I am from the calmness and serenity my grandma transmits,
From fighting with my brother about who would sleep in
my grandmother’s bed.
I am from the good flavors from
my grandmother’s delicious food
And I am from my mom’s
unconditional love,
When I hug her.
Where I Am From
By Majo Romay
I am from the moments spent with my mom and dad
I am from the hamburgers, ice-cream and
chocolate milk I ate day after day
And from the afternoon playing “Banker”
and dancing to the rhythm of my father`s music.
I am from the Saturday`s barbecue or the Sunday`s paella
at home
From smells of homemade food and mom`s perfume.
Where I Am From
By Tamara Cardozo
I’m from the fights with my sister,
from my dad’s strict rules,
from my mom’s love
and from the jokes told by my
aunt Cheli.
I’m from the mbeju cooked by my
sweet two grandmothers
And from the crazy houses
I used to build with chairs with
my sister.
I’m from the family exchange of
presents on Christmas Eve
From the strange dances I used to
dance with an old friend
at the rhythm of “mueve el
ombligo” .
