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

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.
