An Incredible Journey

It has been a wonderful year, we started our project created by Miss Libia and we were guide by Luis Hernández. They helped us through the journey of becoming a sustainable school and were almost there.

Our project started with brainstorming, and then we did a power point presentation and our scale model. After, we had a trip to the Rochester School and we learned about sustainability, they told us they spend a lot of money but it was worth it. Finally, we wrote a song and we presented our power point presentations. We have been visited by many people like Natalia Giraldo and Juna Parra from the Minister of the Environment and Sustainability development, also by 11th graders Vanesa Trujillo and Nicolás Poveda and also by Luis Hernández. My opinion on our project is positive since it is useful to help our school become sustainable. We asked people in our community and they told us that Abraham Lincoln is in the process of becoming sustainable and this project will guide us or help us achieve this goal.

During this project I have learned many things like the real meaning of becoming a green and sustainable school, and it's not just having campaigns to help the environment or activities to get an environmental consciousness. To be a real sustainable school means to have 3 aspects; social, environmental and economical and our school certainly has the economical and social aspect but I consider and our community as well that we do not have the environmental aspect.


In conclusion, I think our school should take this opportunity because there are not many sustainable schools in Colombia and this would be an honor for our country and our school. This project will also help our future generations and with this project we our one step closer of achieving our dream: a sustainable green dream school.

Final Version: The War of the Brides

The War of the Brides


Once upon a time, in a little town near England, there once lived a young and beautiful maiden called Linda. She lived alone with her dog called Spot; she had been in a very long relationship with a man called Brandon. Her best friend was Molly, a young and very beautiful girl; she had been in a very long relationship too. They were the best of friends until one day…

Linda and Brandon were really close and she thought soon he would propose to her marriage. One day they went on a date since it was their one year anniversary, Brandon took her to the best restaurant in town and he proposed to her and she accepted. Linda was now the happiest person on earth since she was engaged.

Linda started organizing her wedding, she got a beautiful venue which was in a lake, she hired a catering service and the food was great and she bought her wedding dress. She was only missing to choose her bridesmaid, her maid of honor and their dresses. She got many of her high school friends to be her bridesmaids and she already had in mind to call Molly to ask her to be her maid of honor.

Linda called Molly and she said “Hi Molly!” and Molly answered “Hi Linda!” Linda said “I was wondering if you wanted to be my maid of honor?” Molly answered surprised “I was wondering the same thing!” Linda answered “How come?” and Molly answered “Well, after many years of dating my boyfriend finally proposed!” Linda answered “Congratulations! And who is the lucky guy?” Molly answered “His name is Kevin and he is very sweet, smart and handsome!” Linda answered “Great, now will you be my bridesmaid” Molly answered “Yes and will you be mine?” Linda answered “Yes, we should set a date to meet our Fiancé’s” Molly agreed and they said goodbye.

The next day Linda arrived at the café Molly and Linda agreed, Brandon told her he would arrive there. Molly arrived and told her that her fiancé would arrive as well there. When Linda saw Brandon walking she said “There he comes!” Molly said “That’s my Fiancé!” Linda got surprised and stopped talking. Brandon saw Linda and Molly and went away scared.

Linda stood up said goodbye to Molly; she stayed at home thinking if Brandon was cheating on her. The next day she called Molly and asked her “Molly was that guy you saw your fiancé?” Molly answered “Yes, that’s Kevin. Why are you asking?” Linda answered “Because that’s Brandon my fiancé!” Molly surprised said “We should talk with him and ask him if he has a twin brother or what’s happening?” Linda agreed and the next day they would talk with Brandon or Kevin.

That day Linda and Molly met at the same café and Brandon or Kevin arrived, he said “Hi girls, I wanted to talk to you and I knew you were going to ask me to come here!” Linda and Molly said at the same time “Explain!” Brandon or Kevin explained “ My real name is Thomas and I’m in love with both of you and I don’t know what to decide so I need you both to understand that I will choose who will I marry in a week and you will know because I will show up there!” Linda and Molly asked “But how will you decide if you love us both?” he answered “I will know because I will miss her a lot, so until the wedding goodbye and may the best one win!” after this he stood up and left.

Both Linda and Molly found out they had their wedding planned for the same day and that they had their venues right next to each other. Both of them started competing to see who made the best wedding. The day of the wedding both of them were dressed and they were really nervous, Molly thought Thomas would pick her since she always got what she wanted, and Linda thought he wouldn’t pick her. Thomas was there and both of them were anxious, Thomas stood up and said “I pick you, Linda” Linda full of happiness hugged him.

Molly really angry took a gun and started killing all the people in the wedding and finally she killed Linda her best friend, Thomas shouted “Look what you have done? This is why I didn’t choose you, you’re beautiful outside but not inside and I prefer inner beauty than appearances”

Molly heard these words and shot herself, now in every wedding in this venue you always hear the sound of a bullet and someone crying.
