WHAT I REMEMBER FROM MY SCHOOL JOURNEY

       I remember when I joined Educação Infantil Nível A my other school in 2004, the first day was scary but after sometime I got used to the things and it became sort of nice. In the next year, in Nível B of Educação Infantil, a little german looking guy joined my class. We are classmates since that year, his name is Gabriel and he is fat. In 2010, when I was in the fifth grade, my group started the year with 9 students, that is a very bad situation for a school. In december of 2010 the school closed beacuse it didn't have resources to maintain itself. In 2011, I entered João XXIII in the sixth grade and met very nice people. Fat Gabão came with me. Here, I met persons like André Vice, Daniel Bola, Igrão Delas, etc. I'm looking foward to college but I think I'll miss school.

School Memories

                 I study in JoãoXXIII since I was 6 years old. There are a lot of memories that I can tell, but some of them will be in my mind forever. I remember that in the moment when I arrived in João, my friend of the other school came to stay with me. We got in the class together, and now we are getting out togheter too.

                When me and my friends once discovered that we could go to Campão, we went there every single day, but Rosinha always cought us, and we had to listen her that we were breaking the rules. I always wanted to stay in school at night, so when there were parentes meetings, I liked to stay for hours with my friends walking around the school. At Quinta da Estância Grande we fed the monkeys, rode horses and played a lot of soccer.

                There was a time that I hid some of my friend's toys, he couldn't find them for weeks, and I don't even know if he ever found them. Later, on the 8th grade, me and my friends threw the soccer ball at the place that the sheeps stay, when the meeting of the 8th grades happened. Felipe Petry had to run after the ball, but we closed the gate and ran. We don't even know how he got out.
              
                  Some of my friends are now in other schools, but a part of them is still here with me, and now remembering this, I can tell that friendship is one of the most important things we learn at school. I will never forget those stories, and now we are always making new ones. It's a pitty that this year is finishing, but I know that I will never forget my memories, and will always remember João as the place where I could for the first time learn how to be happy.

It is true when people say that size is not that much important when there's content in it, and that's how I describe my journey in this school.
After 6 months living abroad I came back to Brazil with a different way of seeing the world, I left my school and decided to finish high school in João XXIII. New school, new routine, new teachers, new people, a lot passing through my head but I didn't care. The new me wanted to be different and just be it.
After almost one and a half year in this school, now I can say I made friendships for life. It is really hard to think what would have happened to my life if I didn't come here. Maybe I would have never met all of this amazing people and have never experienced such grateful things as I have.
I always knew I've made a good choice changing schools, but once, when my dad was giving me a ride in the morning he said 'I don't remember you waking up for school and being in a better good mood in a very long time', and then I realized I was happy and school wasn't a torture anymore. I could be myself, I could share my new ideas, inside and outside the classrooms, and I could just have a good time.
The mixed feelings that (I believe) most of the seniors have about leaving school is kind of scary, at the same time you want everything to be finished, you just can't let go of the rest. You have to decide a whole new path of your life, and there's just a few time left. What if I make the wrong choice? What if I'm not ready? What if I'm not capable? What if...?
It need lots of guts for you to end this part of your life, we just have to accept it's time and that in a near future all of this will be just memories in our heads. For you, that's reading my text, thank you for being part of this little journey, I can say it's little in time but in my heart I can assure you it's really big! <3

Thassia Neis - 3C

What can I say about this moment of my life? I have a part of me that is going to miss João XXIII, all my friends, all the air conditioning arguments, the windows arguments... But the other part is ready to move on and just start a new path.
In 2011 I entered the school and started sixth grade there. In the beginning I remember to be very shy (yes I was shy) and not to talk to a lot of people. I thought I was going to hate this school, just like I did the ones before, but time is a good friend for everyone. A whole year passed by and in the beginning of seventh grade I already had some friends. I remember playing football with the boys and having lots of fun in the school trips.
The time passed, and it again made everything better, I can say that as a high school student I was so much more outgoing and friendly with everyone :)
Now, in the last year of school, I can say this school changed my life. I have friends here that I know will still have to stand me for a long time in the future and I have met amazing teachers who I really admire for encouraging people to be themselves and to have their own opinion for everything.
I know is cliche, but João XXIII really is humane, strong, diverse, ONE OF A KIND. One that I will never forget, because it marked my life with many great things. It will be hard to say goodbye, but I know I have to, João taught me to be of the world, and that's what I'm going to be.

3C - Catharina Baumgarten Bins Ely - 2016

I study at Colegio Joao XXIII since 2005, was Andreia's student... 

I got classmates that are with me since 2005, like Laura, who stopped being my friend and came back later! 

Leticia's, some classmates since 2006, like Arthur Oscar, Augusto, Joaquim and Vinicius. 

In 2007 Ana Luiza's, the year my parents separated, I had serious clashes with Lauren, a student from another class, who was my friend until the sixth grade. 

In 2008 I was Berenice's student. 

In 2009 Melissa's, who has a little daughter with my name... It was the year where I took my first exams and... ever since I still remember that I got 4 marks out of 10 in the Portuguese exam, I cried that day... 

In the sixth grade I had many teachers. I remember that I got very content because of the lockers!! Some friends are still in the same class as me, like Maria Eduarda, Giovanna... who are still in the same class as me since 2010. 

In the seventh grade I had my first PGR. In portuguese, you can notice that since always I'm not a really good student in this subject. It was a troublesome year. 

In eighth grade, all three classes were mixed up, forming two new classes. And that's when Luisa and I became super friends. 

In nineth grade, my best friend came to study with me, we met each other in 2000 and we are still in touch until now. 

In 11th grade, I made a trip with 20 friends from school and the teachers Helena and Matheus. 

In 12th grade, Paola, my best friend, moved out to Sao Paulo, and two friends of mine, lu, who joined my class in 2012 and, Isabela who was my friend since kindergarten, left the college. 

I felt as though I had no friends, and was willing so badly to leave school, but my parents didn't support me in principle. 

In the last year I started my classes at Joao XXIII, left it with my parents supporting me heading off to Leonardo da Vince and in May I was already back to school... Now I'm graduating with all the people who know me since I was little, and I love it!

Giovanna Tres - 3C

João XXIII marked me in different ways, I've studied here my whole life, it has been 20 years that my mom works here, she have pictures inside the school of herself pregnant of me, so even before starting to study here I was already a part of all of this. I didn't study in any kindergarten neither any other school,  in the old days I used to say this was the best school of all, but I can't claim that anymore, because I realized this is the only one I know... I used to think that João only used the 'to be different' advertisement to gain more students, but I was wrong, João XXIII is really different, people have more freedom of expression than other schools' students, here you can find people with colorful hairs and different clothes, because they aren't afraid of showing their own personality and style, they aren't afraid of being judged and I really like that.
I have lots of stories of me here in the school, lots of accidents and lots of good things. I remember that once I was playing of cops and robbers with my friends on the swings located next to the sports field and I jumped pretending that I have been hit and fell hitting my butt on the ground, then the swing came back in my head and I had to get 5 stitches. On this same day, after getting the stitches, I still went to my friend's birthday party, this was in third grade. After that, I still have a lot of memories like it. In a sunny and very hot day, I climbed a tree with some friends and at the same time I pulled over my arm in one of the branches, touched a wooly bear (bicho-cabeludo) and it burned me. Detail: I'm allergic, so once more the ambulance came to visit me at the school.
In fifth grade we went with the history teacher to pretend we were archaeologists and dig some stuffs near the tree house, the boys saw big rocks and decided to throw the rocks upwards, it were really big rocks, so we assume it was a really funny and intelligent diversion, the girls were on the tree house and Pedro Lazarotto threw one so high that hit my head and my head got more stitches... And, once again, at the same day I didn't missed the cinema I had settle with Duda and her brother.
I have so many stories that I could write a book, like the time I hid Helo's backpack behind the bathroom's door with Camilla's help (a friend that already left the school), or the time Eduardo Barlette threw up purple in the classroom, or the times I was the third wheel in the tree house, or the trips to Torres where we jumped in the dunes and ate ice cream, in the end the bus was filled with sand, and there's the trip to Missões that we slept there, like I said lot of stories...
The school brought me lot of memories and I will miss the place I've spent the most time of my 17 years so much, now we have to move on and I'm very happy that I have finished a stage so important, I spent too much time doing the same stuffs, having the same routine, seeing the same people every day, now I'm ready to live nice and new thing and João XXIII gave me an amazing base for me to move on.

I'm studying in João XXIII since 2003, and the moment that i remember is when i was in the 5th grade and i fought with my classmate because i stole his coin of 25 cents.

Name: Gabriel Fachinello Wandscheer

I started in João XXIII in 2005, i was in the first grade. I think that the memory in João that I will never forget was the time that I was in fist day of school. I was dehydrated, because I used to do a lot of exercise on the playground mainly in the elementary school. So I asked the teacher Melissa if I could drink water. Melissa asked my classmate Leonardo Gimenes if he could go along with me and show where I could drink water.
Leo asked me if we could fight in the hall.
Next thing I remember I the teacher telling us to apologized to each other. Nowadays we are good friends, although he is not in João anymore.
João XXIII is my first school. I met new people and good friends. This is the kind of thing that I will certainly remember for the rest of my live, because there was no other school first, you know? It always been João XXIII, here I share good times, bad times, and situations that I will always remember.

Goodbye and Thank You

Carolina Baumgarten 3A-

I remember when I was little, seating somewhere, looking at the ceiling, thinking about all the things I wanted to be when I grow up. All the "if"s and "when"s that would come after high-school, all the crazy astronaut and rock star talk. It's fun to look back, it's fun to actually be here, to be finishing this adventure I've been on since I was a kid. João XXIII has been my home for so many years, a place that took care of me with all it's love, yet now it's time to say goodbye. It was inside these walls that I grew up and became the person I'm proud to be. Inside these walls I learned to be myself and to care about others. This place did so much to me and will always have a special place inside my heart. Here I met so many incredible people, best friends and brothers for life. I, wish to become a strong woman and show all the amazing teachers that walked this path beside me how much of a great job they did. João XXIII showed me how special and unique each and every one of us are and how strong and determined we can become.

Thank you, everyone, for everything.

I went to school in 6th grade, at first it was kind of hard to adapt because I knew nobody beyond my brother. The good thing was meeting new people and who had and still have the same thought as me. People who really changed my life for the better. I have many stories on Joâo XXIII, good and some not so good. One of the good is that when I was in 8th grade, was already considered the best goalkeeper in the whole school, not even having almost no one like that, I felt very honored. The best thing was playing football with friends during class, I will never forget, or even change places with my brother and fool some teachers. Anyway, I met a nice staff, but the best were to end here, and this is one of the many good things that take you away.

   I started in João XXIII in the eighth grade, and now after almost 11 years of school life and 4 in João, is ending. I'm still not sure if I'm happy or sad, because I always wanted to end soon but now I'm realizing that I'm going to miss so much, especially the friends.

Especially this last year has been kind of hard, because it has all that third-year pressure, and ended up not being the  way that I expected , but I can say that every year had special moments with _ special teachers and friends, some that they are not even more so close to me but certainly will be kept in my heart.

Well, on my school memories I can say I have had some that were marked, as short film in the first grade, the videos of Newton's laws, our trip this year to Gramado, the meeting of octaves, the interséries games, among others.

After 14 years in this college, i'm saying goodbye. Were wonderful years, unforgettable moments, special teachers, gentlemen, tests, good and bad days. Each moment lived here will stay in in my heart and  i am very grateful for all.
Nothing better than photos to show all this gratitude

My School Life - Bárbara Parode 3A

I started my school life in a school called Escola Waldorf Querência, my colleagues Julia Chaves, Serena Bastos and Mary Eduarda de Athaydes were my classmates. The pedagogy was totally different from any other school of Porto Alegre, we passed by several initiation rites as we were developing. The notebooks were horizontal and without lines, until the third grade only used crayons for writing and drawing. Then came the pencil "líra" and finally the "pena" and the fountain pen. The school was always very hard to follow rules but with the freedom to play and imagine that every child needs to have.

                                     

In fifth grade had an activity called “Olimpíadas", where we met with other schools in the same pedagogy in Florianópolis, for simulation of our Greek Olympiad. I made many trips to learning and living, in the sixth year went to Minas do Camaquã in order to observe the movement of the stars.

                                  

In the seventh series and my last year at school, we went to the Petar which is located in Sao Paulo, where we visit caves and studying the rocks, I remember a cave that the crossing was 1 hour totally in the dark, where we needed attention and care.

                                

In eighth grade I changed of school with my colleagues and we came to the João XXIII, despite being a traditional college, he is considered “different". It was an experience very memorable in my life, because many people believed that my colleagues and I weren't going to adapt, I didn't feel the difference even being very different. I made many friends when I came to João and I continued my developing but I believe that my first school was critical to my formation as a person.

My school life could not have been better, all the people I met were important to me and I had the best teachers. 

                                   Simple History
André Rezende 3A

          My story in the joao xxiii began in fifth grade, just didn't know 2010 nobody but I managed to adapt in a way to have interests and tastes common to my colleagues. in the sixth form had three classes however in seventh grade reduced to two, great year I met a lot of nice people, but the majority was not for the high school, unfortunately, but life goes on. In the first year was a very striking, I met a very cute and baby named laura who came to be my girlfriend who I share a feeling very strong and pretty soon I turned a puppy. In the second year I strengthened my friendships, my friends and I play high school championships, get almost everyone. And finally a third year, unfortunately some friends couldn't stay in school. Played by peta goda FC ". Anyway, I'm getting ready for the SATS and I hope I do well on the exam, but I'm sure the relationships that I have had won't put an end to the colegio.

BOY BYE- Renata Rizzon 3A

     I am one finals week away of finishing a journey that began eleven years ago, on this very school. It's a little bit weird to think that I don't really know how next year will be like. Before, I could be certain that I would still be at João XXII, because I always loved here, and my friends would be here too. I think the best way to describe this experience is through memories and photos. So here we go.

 

In 2006, my first school year, I looked like this. I can't remember anything about this time, but I'm pretty sure it was ok.

.

Who has known me long enough had the pleasure of witnessing my ugly phase. Dreadful time.

Now let's just skip to 8th grade because I really can't remember anything else.

There was the trip to London, with these fools.

The Shortfilm Festival, in 2014 (We managed to win every award possible). 

The time I hosted the Shortfilm Festival.

My return to stardom, the physics project, FMA (We won that too).

And been at marketing campaign of the school.

This poster is not there anymore but I'm stil on every computer screen.

But this last year was definitely the most special of them all.

I took part at the study counsel (GEJ <3).

Studied way more than I wanted. 

Got rid of afternoon classes.

Hated every second of the sixth period. 

Loved every second with my friends.

Painted Luisa blue.

And had a lot of fun, actually.

School Life Stories

School Life Stories - Gabriel Schuch 3A

I've been studying at João XXIII since I was 10. I entered the school in the sixth grade, after my old school closed. Since the first day I walked into the school, I felt a different energy; a new vibe for me. Different people, different teachers and a way way different infrastructure, I was surrounded by good things. When you are surrounded by good things, good things happen, as a result, I made new friends and started getting good grades.
I also got myself in trouble sometimes, I was suspended twice. Once for throwing stones in Felipe Petry's face, and the another one was for throwing avocado inside the treasury room, let's forget about the bad moments. The best thing in the school in my opinion is the relation between the teacher and the student, a close relation, with friendship and partnership.
I will never forget about anything that I lived in João XXIII, from Paulo's bad chemestry jokes to Mara's speech, all the knowledge that was offered and I readily absorved, the school was my second home for years. I want to say thanks to all my teachers, every single one was special in his own way, I love you guys!

School Life Stories - Pedro Lazzarotto 3A 2016

I have been studying here since ever, there are so many stories that took place at this school that i can't even remember all of them. From first grade until now it's obvious that i have changed a lot, but if there is something that changed even more would be my relations at JoãoXXIII. A lot of people that i knew and now i don't and a lot of people that got into my life and are still here with me today, these are people that would be part of a very big list of the changes in my life. JoãoXXIII made me who i am and i'm grateful to that. I know how much i have grown here, and I can tell that all my convictions and opinions (that i'm very proud of) were formed thanks to this school, my home. What I most remember from all this years would be the interdisciplinary projects we had to do, been part of the GEJ, all the teachers that helped me to grow up and inspired me and the incentive we received from everywhere. If I had to tell a story, definitely would be the time that me, two english teachers and nineteen more students traveled to Canada. It didn't take place at JoãoXXIII, but it was a project of it. We kind of took the school to another country. It was one of the greatests experiences I have ever been part of. I don't know how to express how flattered i am to had the chance of living all of this. JoãoXXIII made me, and i'm sure i will never forget this big part of my life.
