The Palapa School: Student Blog

by Maria

My name is Maria C. S. and I am currently in my fourth semester. I am very interested in health-related topics, although the study of medicine may not be my ultimate goal. I do, however, enjoy learning about all the topics related to the human body, because I like helping people and being prepared in an emergency. At school, I’ve been involved in clubs related to health. The first time was with teacher Surisaday, a physiotherapist. We learned basics including the circulatory system, the skeletal system, CPR, how to apply bandages, and other emergency techniques.

Though we are no longer under Surisaday’s guidance, my classmate Andres (paramedic assistant) and I now run the club. I have never done anything like this before, and I have very high expectations for myself and the program. I not only  learn more but also disseminate this important knowledge to other children. My goal for the future is to obtain at least a license that qualifies me to provide first aid. My career goal is to become a psychologist, but you never know when someone will need us to save their life.

How Students Support Each Other

by Ivana

Hello, my name is Ivana and I will talk about how students support each other. Most of us get along well, which has many benefits. For example, when someone misses a class, they can ask a classmate for the notes and not miss any topics or assignments. Additionally, if you have a question in class or somewhere else, you can ask a classmate who can help you with the problem you have. Another example is when you are feeling down, they support you and help you feel better. It is great to have confidence in them, and I am glad that there is harmony among everyone. I would not change my classroom because, despite difficulties, we all support each other, and part of learning is also experiencing difficult times.
