Student Projects: Drawing Dreams

by

The students from the eighth grade, as a part of their Spanish class, attended a workshop called “Literary Cafe” in which they explored and developed reading and deep reflection skills. In this part of the course they read “The Old Man and the Sea” by E. Hemingway.
The activity was to focus on a scene in which the character expressed his dream while observing life in the sea. The student had to express in a drawing their own dreams to achieve, taking the example of reading and making a brief explanation of the drawing.

Palapa School Student Profile: Mariel M.

Palapa School Student Profile: Mariel M. 

Palapa School Student ProfileHello, my name is Mariel G. M., and I recently finished my second year of high school. I decided to enter the Palapa School because it was the best option in the Todos Santos community. We had also heard that it was a school with a very good academics and good values promoted both in students and in the educational community.

What I liked the most about secondary school is the atmosphere between classmates.  I also really like the way some teachers work. My favorite subject is maths. And the one I like the least is history since it is very difficult for me to learn dates and information. What excites me most about the coming year is that I am already entering the final stage of my basic education. I am about to enter the third year of secondary school.Regarding distance learning, at first I felt desperate and out of place. However,  together with the help of my parents and organizing myself, I became more productive and autonomous.

Going to university is one of my greatest goals. My plan includes being a psychologist. I realize I still have several years ahead of me to clarify what I would like to be. Ideally, I want to be happy, responsible with my decisions, have freedom, do things well, seek honesty, and be a good citizen.

As a final comment, the truth is I am very grateful that The Palapa Society considered me to write this article about being a student at the Palapa School. I want to take the opportunity to thank them for the effort they make every day so that our learning is of good quality. I do not want to end without mentioning that I have grown a lot in friendship and companionship with people that I consider very valuable in my life. Thank you.
