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.
