Senior Entrance 2008/2009

August 20, 2008. This date is a very special date for this year’s seniors of Escuela Internacional Sampedrana. Is the day when the journey for a senior began. In other words the beginning of a bright future and their last year of high school. Students who saw the senior entrance described it as amazing and a great entrance!

Students liked how the seniors made their entrance but what few knew is the fact that these seniors were so sleepy from the party they had last night. The day before classes the seniors had a party and the majority of them didn’t sleep at all; if they went to sleep it was for an hour or less. Some students were commenting that their favorite part of the entrance was the officers that were in the path and when they threw confetti at the seniors. Students said that they also liked the banner which the seniors passed by when they entered to school campus. Another group of students said they liked the shirts colors, images, and the quote.

First the students got together at the gas station Esso that located near the school. There were fire trucks, police cars, four-wheelers, Rapiditos, Pepsi trucks, mulitas, and others. Students who were riding in the four wheelers made great tricks and they impressed the students that were watching the senior entrance. Talking to some seniors they said they liked their senior entrance and it’s a memory they will always have in their minds.

We had the opportunity to talk to some seniors and they told us many details about their senior and what they have done so far. They told us that although they didn’t sleep at all they had a lot of fun in their entrance and they would repeat again. One of the questions we asked were if they had fun in their party and their entrance and they immediately answered yes and it’s a memory they will never forget. One senior said that so far she likes the beginning of her senior year but she says that by the other hand she feels sad because it’s her last year with her friends and soccer tournament. She said she hopes that she wins this year’s tournament and wishes the best to all her classmates. Another senior said that he felt so tired and so sleepy that his plan is to sleep in all classes. To show us how tired he was he took off his sunglasses and we could see that his eyes were about to close. This senior was really sleepy but he said that this day is so special that he couldn’t miss it at all because something like this doesn’t repeat every day; it’s just once in a lifetime. The majority of the seniors said that they’re sleepy and as soon as they get home they will go to sleep and have lunch. We wish the seniors ’09 a good year and good luck in reaching all their goals!
