2 0 1 6 The Year Of Changes

     So, 2016 it’s almost in the end, and I was thinking about what I did this year.

I came to Esem, and I think that this was the best year of my life. I met the best people ever, I changed some thoughts that I had, I learned important things and enjoyed the little (and big) things of life.

     Here I have more responsibility (like washing my clothes, clean the room, go to the doctor if I’m sick, etc), and we also study more, because we have class also in the afternoon and in the Saturday morning. I know that next year will be worst, but now I won’t think about this.

     It’s funny how here we have facility to meet friends, like you can invite a person for have dinner or go for a walk in the campus. And the people are always together for talk and have fun, unless you have to study or do the homework.

     There’s a way to the first year students meet all the people, and it’s with the godmother/godfather. The second or third year can adopt a first year student to help him in the adaption at school and talk about problems, development here, relationships, the study… And the best is that the relation of godson/godmother is much more than talk about school; the godmother is your mother, sister, friend… is a person that you can trust.

     And today, the school received the list of the new year, the class 2017-2019, and my friend has passed! I’m so happy! But, as well as the new class are coming, the third year are going. I hadn’t the chance to meet all the people, and this is the worst.

    I don’t have words to describe 2016, and if I had, I think it’s words like amazing, changes, missing and love. This year changed a lot of things, besides I moved to Rio, I changed. I hope that 2017 can be like this year, or if it’s possible, better. 

Change yourself, XoxO

When I went to "The Paraolimpics Games"

Hello guys, today I´m going to talk about a happy theme, Paraolimpic Games.

Some months ago I went to the Paraolimpic games, and that´s a incredible experience, because I listened a lot of overcoming stories, and that´s inspired me to write this little text ( I just write after some months but whatever).

I saw just a wheelchair baskeball, this is so amazing because I can´t plaiyng basket well with foots, imagine in a whellchair, they are amazing. I love saw that game because I think there was the most beautiful show that I saw in my life, because he was played the sport with a lot of willpower.

This day was especial also I met a nice people, a school friend if I never talk with her. This day was amazing, and I learned a thing, if you want you can, because you are capable.

ESEM my new Home <3


Hello Guys , after a long time...

Today I´m going to talk about a cool theme, home. My home today are my school, but, I have a nice home in Sorocaba (My city <3), I was born in there and I love that city OMG. 

Next month I and my friends are going to our homes, because there is our vacantion. But I love my new "Home", because this is a nice place, I have a lot of friends here in my school, and they are so cool. The missing is big, but we can survive, of course we going to talk with  the cellphone.

Sometimes I think it, home is an relative word, because my "official" home is in Sorocaba, Ok, but I think it you make your home, If your home are in the beach, surfing, ok, you have that choice. Now I have two homes, here and in my city, and that´s so cool, because I love these two places. 

(I´m feelig like it because next month we are in vacation)

Welcome to your new life!

Yo Ho Ho Ho (I'm a pirate today? hahaha)! It's me again guys, Gabriel!

How Are you? I'm aMaZiNG, like every post hehe. In this another awesome post I'll talk with you about my school, my friend. How can I talk about my feelings staying here... It's just wonderful, if my dad didn't work in Sesc Belenzinho, São Paulo (my city), I would never know this school. I'm walking to the end of this year here, but I'm feeling good and bad in the same time... I'll really miss my friends, but I'm missing my old friends too!!

When I arrived in this school everything was new and it appeared to be 10x higher, but the time passes quickly and now this is too small for me...

ESEM

   Hi the post of today I will talk about Escola Sesc de Ensino Médio. Well, how can I pass for the school? First I had to pass in a long selective process with an exam with questions objective, interview with the parents or responsible, among others criteria. This is not as simple as seems.

   Finally, in ESEM, I yet can’t say about my expectative before and now, but I can say my feels onward my experiences here. The first impact was stay faraway of my family, in the beginning cry during calls was constant. Soon when I arrived was strange, sleep in a bedroom that I did not know the two girls, but over time we establish a relationship and met us better, slowly it was better and nowadays we already have enough thing in common to conversation and it is normal arrive and see they, conversation about how was the day and how much we just want have a time for sleep.

   However, we had various task here, like: organize the time, do not accumulate things to do, wash clothes, keep the room clean, do not delay to classes, turn off the lights at 10 p.m. It is details that we have to be careful. Besides that, there are moments that we enjoy the amazing moments between friends, lunch marked, because the interaction is the key ingredients of life here. And then this will be the better and good memory of our life.

WE IN THE FUTURE

ESEM, first step

      Hi guys! Today I will talk my school and how I’m happy studying here!

I study and I live in the same place: Escola SESC de Ensino Médio (ESEM), something like “SESC high school” in English. Many people say that I’m crazy because I left my home and my family in São Paulo to study in Rio de Janeiro, I agree with them in parts, I’m crazy and to study here you need to be a little bit crazy.

      Everything here is intense: studying, having fun, living together… All moments are unique.

      The first thing you do here is choosing your bed, emo, vip or pop. They are named according to the position in the room, emo is the closest to the door one, a little more forward leaning against the same wall is the pop and at the pop’s right leaning against the other wall is vip.

      According your room’s floor, you pertain to some house, Esparta is first floor, Aureum is
second floor and Olimpo is the third one. Each house has a history and principles, the second
and third year students usually teach that to the new ones. After vacation happen a tournament
where the houses compete for the taça das casas, something like “house’s cup in English.
This year Esparta won the cup, <3 my house.

ESEM changes people

      Hi guys! Today we will talk about ESEM and how it changes people. I will start with an affirmation “I don’t know the Ana before ESEM anymore” it’s strong, I know, but I’m not the same anymore. I know that people usually change over time, but this school do that in a different way, this school do this faster and more deeply I think.

      When you arrive here, you need to live with two others girls or boys that you don’t know and it’s a challenge, because they are very different from you, they are from others two states and very often from two different regions of the country. Everything is new, and living together sometimes isn’t the easiest thing in the world.

      I’m an only child, so sharing a room with two other girls was very new to me, nothing that I couldn’t do. Because of that, I learned to respect their time, their privacy, things that I had never worried before.

      I had to learn many things to live together, now, I believe my mind is more open to new things and I’m veeeery anxious to meet the students who are coming next year and perhaps see myself, see my old self on them.
