It with great pleasure that I send you this message in a renewed version of our New Horizons school newspaper, in which we celebrate the achievements of our students and graduates not only in math, science, and literature but also in sports and artistic presentations. Our students and graduates perform in the National Theater and on international television and our teams in soccer, basketball and volleyball make us all proud not only of the way they play but also of their sportsman-ship. Manythingshavechangedsincethefirstdayofclass-es in New Horizons in 1977 when the phones sat on desks, letters were written on typewriters and copies were made on a mimeograph machine. Most of you have no idea what those last two machines are, because all your typing is on a PC or I-Pad or Smart Phone which obviously is quite portable. However, there is one tool that we still all use for teaching and learning – our brain power. Even with all the in-formationatourfingertips,westillneedtouseourintellectualcapabilities to organize the data, evaluate its validity and use it to solve problems and improve our lives. Teachers may use laptops and projectors to give classes, but they still must pre-pare lesson plans and utilize effective strategies to actively involveallofthestudentsinthelearningprocess.Tofinalizethe procedure, students must prove that they have grasped the meaning of material presented when assessed on their comprehension of the lessons taught. Every step of learning involves using our minds to think, so it is everyone’s duty to protect that intellectual tool and keep it functioning at maximum capacity. A person who is sleep-deprived, in poor physical condition from lack of ex-ercise and a deficient diet, or has consumedproducts thatare harmful is risking damaging the most important tool they posses. A healthy mind in a healthy body is not just a slogan, but a hard reality, which I think most New Horizons students have grasped. Otherwise, they would not be producing such spectacular results!

One island, two countries. Thousands of years as a geographical unity. Then history created two nations who fought against each other: wars, occupations, rebellions, mas-sacres, and rivalry between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Just before Christmas, approximately two thousands Hai-tians working in the Dominican Republic crossed the border to spend the holidays with their relatives. When they had to come back in the Dominican Republic to work, the Dominican immigrationofficialshadclosedthebordertoalltheHaitianswith no visas. This immediately created protests from the Hai-tian workers who were infuriated by the fact that they could not return to work or could not reunite with relatives living in the DR. Thousands of protesters occupied the market place of the Haitian border town of Ounaminthe, where twice a week a “bi-national” market is held in the Dominican border town of Dajabon, preventing the regular development of the market.

These protests generated irritation among many Do-minican merchants who could not sell or trade their products in the market. A Jesuit priest named Regino Martinez, who has for decades helped Haitian immigrants with legal and bureaucratic issues, spoke in support of the Haitian workers, outraged by the decision the government made, provoking a violent local response and controversy between various non-governmental and governmental organizations. During the last decades, the Dominican Republic has gone through substantial economic growth, tourism being its main income. Unlike the Dominican Republic, Haiti has had serious economic difficulties, becoming one of the world’spoorest countries, with around 80% of the country’s population living in poverty. Thus, thousands of Haitians have decided to look for better work opportunities and life conditions in their neighbourcountry.Unfortunatelytheydonotalwaysfindafairenvironment. Rather, many end up underpaid, exploited and mistreated,andtheyfacethedifficultiesofbeingdiverse. Many Haitian immigrants who cross the border and work in the DR have an illegal status although they contribute to local economic growth. Their number is still not certain, but many reports state that could be around one million. During the last few years, there have been controversy between human rights organizations and the Dominican government about possible human right violations committed by some members of the Dominican army at the border, who have been accused of corruption, violence and intimidation, taking advantage of the vulnerable situation of many Haitians and of the confusing immigration agreements. In this context, what happened on Christmas could happen at any moment until the Dominican and Haitian au-thorities do not establish a legal framework and press border officialstocomplywiththelaw.TodatetheDirecciónGeneraldeMigración,alongwith theHaitianembassy,hasdecidedto give 300 special work permits to Haitians so that they can re-enter the Dominican Republic, and also the Haitian govern-ment guaranteed to provide legal documents to their citizens.

But is this the end of the problem?

Dominican history is known for being full of enough important historicaleventstofillthestoryofmanyothercountries.Oneofthe periods that marked the Dominican history was the period known as Trujillo’s Era. Trujillo, or Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, is known for being the worst tyrant that has set foot in the Dominican Republic. He ruled this country from 1931 until 1961, when he was assas-sinated by the members of a group called Movimiento Revo-lucionario 14 de Junio (or commonly known as 1J4). These brave people, along with the Dominican population, had to endure for 30 years Trujillo’s mistreatment and cruelty, and we are glad to have met one of them during our school trip to the Museo Memorial de la Resistencia Dominicana. Visiting this museum was an unforgettable and re-markable experience. It is an institution with the purpose of commemorating those killed in the fight for democracy, butmore than anything is an institution that is dedicated to raise the awareness of new generations about the value of life and the fundamental human right of freedom: the right to act and express our ideas without fear of losing our families or lives. Along with videos, descriptions and scene/character personifications of that period we were able to understandclearly the story behind Dominican Republic and of those who fought for the democracy of it.

All of us have dreams. We may confuse dreams with necessities, and you may be more concerned with what’s seems best for you than what you really want to achieve in life. That’s why I want to introduce you this story, a story that was told to me by a friend of mine that I met in the summer 2012 at the Ultimate Life Summit. This is a story of a young man called Harry. Harry wanted to become an actor when he was in high school. He moved to Hollywood with the same dreams of many young people who move to Hollywood. He was fortunate to get a job that paid $150 a week so he could be an extra in

movies. He believed this would help become a full-time ac-tor, but unfortunately life is expensive, especially in Hollywood. He stayed for three years and was having a hard time. Harry was so broke that he needed another job. He was very good with carpentry in school, so he started to build cabinets and outdoor decks. He was making more money doing this than he was being an extra in movies, but he always knew what he really wanted and what was his goal. Harry eventually found that he could use carpentry to work in the entertainment business. He was hired to remodel theofficeofFrancisFordCoppola,a famousdirector.Whiledoing the work of remodeling, Steven Spielberg came to visit Coppola and though Harry had the right look for a movie he was making. He said it was too bad he wasn’t an actor and just a simple carpenter. Harry explained later that he really was an actor and that he was trying to pay his bills through carpentry while he managed his acting career. Harry went in for an audi-tion and got the role of Indiana Jones. Yes, Harry is Harrison Ford! So was Harry on the right track when he picked up a hammer to help pay his bills? When we keep our dreams in mind, we are always on the right track. We’re 100% account-able tofigureoutwhy thepathweareon is the right track.That’s easier said than done, of course. My suggestion is to trust the path you are on knowing that at any time, you have the power to change directions. Put your life in the best hands – your own.

The ceremony also included a commission of delegates from the Consulate of Haiti in Santiago who were invited as guests for this special day. A short play was performed by several members of the class, acting as the founding fathers of the nation of Haiti. A glance at Haitian culture was presented as well, including information on art, music and food. The students concluded their presentation with an original poem, written by tenth grad-ers Raquel Abreu and Katherine Liriano, focusing on the day of the earthquake and all that was so tragically lost. One min-ute of silence was offered in honor of the earthquake victims of January12,2010.TheHaitianflagwasraisedandthenationalanthem, La Dessalinienne, was sang by both Haitian students and staff as well as consular delegates.

“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.” — Joel E. Barker I had a dream. It wasn’t Martin Luther King Jr.’s kind of dream, although they did have a whole awful lot of things in common. Both of our dreams seemed impossible, yet they are both within the possibility range. They were simple in a way, but circumstance makes them complicated to convert into reality.TheonlywayIcanthinktodefinemydreamisthatit’sbasedon the idea of a creation—or the distortion—of a society, into one in which people read, and where people appreciate litera-ture. It seemed unrealistic for one person to do accomplish, butitjustfeltasifitwasmyresponsibilitytoatleasttry,tofightfor change, and so I did. With the help and support of admin-istrationandpeopleunaffiliatedwiththeschool,Iwasabletocreate a Book Club ruled by students, in which they can get together after school and discuss a book of their choice in a very thoughtful, yet still exciting manner. With the creation of this Book Club, I tried to change my class-mates’ prejudice towards reading. We all know that the Do-minican culture has never been known for their appreciation of literature, but it doesn’t have to remain that way. It’s fascinating how much you can extract from books. Reading enriches our minds, hearts and souls, as well as helps us grow as people. The creation and maintenance of the Book Club has been very challenging for the members and me. I hope these challenges

will develop our character and prepare us for the future. I have to continue to work on my Leadership skills, which include pa-tience, discipline, oration, competence, tolerance, and team-work, with Ms. Hemm’s divine help, and a lot of hard work of my own.So far we’ve read two books that we have collectively chosen. TheywereLookingforAlaskaandTheFaultinourStars,bothwrittenbyAmericanauthorJohnGreen.EveryoneintheBookClub has enjoyed these novels, in their own way and they all highly recommend them both. The next books we’re planning toreadare:ThePerksofBeingaWallflowerbyStephenCh-bosky, The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, and The Curi-ous Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. If you’d like to join us, you can show up any Thursday in DR 16. Or, if you’d like to create your own Book Club, I totally encour-age you to do so!

Vianca Rodríguez, 10th gradeA book that changed my life was Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley. Theevents in it are really common in real life. It makes you think of what it’s actually like to be a student who is invisible to society and feel re-jection.Eventhoughtthemaincharacterhadahardtimetryingtofitinsociety and died trying, she still found friends in a “different” society. What it makes me realize is that everyone belongs to some place, only we must look for it. It also emphasizes that even with different likes and status, it’s possible to make friends because being lonely is worse than being dead.

Mario Lebron Espinola, 12th gradeA book that has changed my life would be James Patterson’s The Big BadWolf.Itwasthefirstbookthataffectedmedeeplyafterreadingitthoroughly.Ifreadsuperficially,itmayseemlike“justanotherpolicestory,” yet it’s complexity and profoundness are limitless. It portrays the lives of two totally opposite men: a single father crime scene in-vestigatorwhohasahardtimefindingabalancebetweenhisfamilyandworklife,andanobsessiveserialkillerwhopersonifiesinsanityyet seems very methodical and thoughtful when executing his crimes. The best part about the book is that it seems really realistic. It deals with daily societal issues such as gender roles, sexuality, and peer pressure: topics any of us can feel in touch with. All in all, it is a book that excels, and a book I certainly would encourage people to read andreflecton.

Vanessa Rodríguez, 12th gradeAbook that changedmy lifewas TheLord of the FliesbyWilliamGolding.WhenIreadthisbook,Isawhowrawourinstinctsreallyare.It gives different representations of society in a way that makes the reader want to keep reading. This book gives us a new perspective on society and how we would act without it. The end can leave you wanting more, but it also gives a good closing to the book’s allegory. Society is much more important than we think; we can love it or hate it, but this book shows us that society is what makes us who we are.

Ms. Hemm, English TeacherA book that changed my life was Cereus Blooms at Night by Shani Mootoo. The book illuminated the complexities of Caribbean coloni-zation, culture, race, sex and gender. It opened my eyes to a vibrant world and made me realize that being whole is acting in tune with nature.

Each month, we’ll be interviewing New Horizons students and employees about books that have impacted them deeply. Which books have changed your life?

BOOKS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

This month is all about that passionate feeling that turnseveryoneheadoverheels:thefeelingoflove.Februaryis the month where all we see is hearts and roses, and what betterwaytoupholdthesignificanceofthisveryromanticsea-son than with a woman that embodies romance and elegance: oneofthemostinfluentialwomeninthefashionworldduringthe 20th century who has left a legacy that endures today? Coco Chanel is known for her contributions to fashion for cre-ating the “little black dress,” classy and unique female suits, and the inimitable perfume known worldwide, Chanel No. 5. But, beyond her bob hairstyle and designer creations, what really gave this outrageous woman her uniqueness was her courage and her revolutionary thinking. She pioneered the idea that women can dress both classy and casual. Gabrielle Chanel was born in poverty in 1883 in labellecityofSaumur,France.Shespentheryoungeryearsinan orphanage. Before turning into an icon,Gabriellewas asinger in clubs in Vichy and Moulins, where she got the nick-name “Coco” due to the songs she used to sing. She also stat-ed that this named was a shorter version of “cocotte,” which means“keptwomen”inFrench. In 1910, she opened her first store on Paris’s Rue

Cambon, where she started selling hats for the divas of that time. By 1920, she was already expanding her empire by launching her first fragrance, Chanel No. 5, whichwas justthefirstperfume tobenamedafter thedesigner.Soon, thisentrepreneurhadbecomeaninternationalfigureandpartofthe “high society” of that time.

COCO CHANEL: ELEGANCE REMAINS OVER TIME

“Perfume is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate acces-sory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your

departure”

Her clothing is known for its elegance and beauty, but what really makes her garments unique is how their simplicity can portray the beauty of the female silhouette. She replaced stiff corsets with casual and more practical clothing that more closely resembled men’s fashion. She also pioneered the use of the color black in designer clothing, which later on became her trademark.

“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”

The women that once sewed her own clothing and inspire her designs on menswear marked a tendency in today’s women wear. Today, the Chanel brand is one of the most prominent in the business, debuting collections on runaways in Paris, Italy and London each year. Even after her death in 1970, Chanel’s legacy is still growing. Her design ideas endure.

SONNETS

Untitled Eduardo Tavarez

Which would you like to control, time or space?Controlling space…imagine all I getBut doing all I want is just an ace.I’ll tell you that “time” was the one I met.

Oh time you are so beautiful when stopped,You could not imagine all I have doneBelieving in all that would be messed upYou will put yourself down under the gun

You’ll be gorgeous if you fall in reverseChanging my mistakes is all I can sayThis matter would not affect in my nerves

You are the same as wind; follow your wayIgnoring everyone without a breathOur fate is something we can’t escape: death.

Sonnet IAnonymous

“You must get married with the one who’s rich,You must get married with the one of us”My dear mother has always said these words,But as I’ve grown, my heart has always itched.In my cold bed I lay as my clock ticks,A confused love paints a mixture of shades.I wonder, is this my eternal fate?Or is it just another mental trick?But if I could have the right of choosing,The purest happiness would be my love.In the nights you’d be the one I’m missing,As my soft heart by you would be stolen.I will be eternally your Juliet,And you will be my gentle Romeo.

SonnetAnonymous

You bring me hope when I am regretful,Yet, heavens know I have no real cure.Don’t think twice when I tell you to forget allThe precious times we enjoyed for sure.Regard my word as a big illusion,Formytruewishisyoursoleattraction.Your skill to feel my thoughts is a fusionOf your love and passion for our relation.Your voice is one that brings tranquilityIn the times of pure madness and outrage.If I don’t see you for eternity,Might as well be trapped in the smallest cage.So, my dear love, leave me not alone,Foryouaremyall,myspinalbone.

Sonnet MCMXCVIMario Lebron-Espinola

The soften skin of the caressing breezeThe golden visage: a bright restless gemThe harmonic voice of a dreamy femmeWhat makes you “you,” is what makes my heart freezeThose two blue deceits my heartbeats make ceaseThat smile of white pearls has my fate condemnedWho would ever say this lad, poor and premWould ever be able to earn such a piece?In spite of the veins those bullets have burstIn spite of the walls you’re side has builtIn spite of them says to make this love cursedI’m here! I’m here! And from you I won’t quit.Let’s make magic work, Against every odd,My wand I have got, and our trick may prevail.

Words are rustingBy Katherine Michel

Will words stop transcending generations?Are some of them already overspent?Are some not evoking fascination?Are the others already on their way?

Thought I strive to decrypt what my mind tracesWords do not come out quite as oftenAnd what as a master plan the frame picturesA cacophony of sounds disrupted

Have we refrained ourselves from daring?Weretheytoofleshytogiveaway?Looking for words that are not caring Forwefretwhentherightoneisnotsaid

Their biased value chains them to emberBut oh! If you name you remember.

By the sunsetSamahara Hernandez

I’vetriedtobelieveinloveatfirstsight-But I’ve found myself continuously drowned-Deep in this Earth, I had not found the light-No pair of arms, eyes, lips; tenderly crawled.If love be rain, lovers will be falling,If roses be knives, dead will all them be,Petrified,inanillusiondyingI found myself searching, waiting for thee.There is no pure love, nor either purenessBy now I’ve forgot if you’re even trueYet I’ve found the truth, it’s no more than lessI was just another card of your game.

Then I’ll be crying with nothing to share,By the sunset again, I will be there.

Poem about Things Fall ApartAlina Barsamayan

Bythelooksonyourfaceswecantellthatyouareflustered,But all will be explained in a second,

Please trust us.

We are about to decipher a culture that very few know,This is why we are here today,To help our knowledge grow.

We have been there,And seen many sights.

With a clear view,Fromunimaginableheights.

As we sat in our huts on a bright working day,Thelightbreezeflewbyandletthetreessway.

We watched as most parents farmed and grew food,And imagined that this was a lifestyle quite crude.

We saw their clothing, culture and traditions,And were dumbfounded by their living conditions.

These traditions were quite profound,And left us in thought,

Of how while they work all day,We buy and live on yachts.

There are a great many ceremonies that these people adore,Let us take this time to explain one or more.

The feast of the New Yam is similar to our New Year,When many powerful wrestlers come together for a premier.

They give thanks to the goddess Ani and the source of all fertility,And make foods such as foo-foo to the best of their ability.

The people make sure that no one is left hungry on the most festive of nights,Andthemightiestwrestlersputonthemostintriguingoffights.

20


On to the wedding ceremony we go,This is a tradition that everyone should know,

Personally, I like this ceremony the best,Because it is when the bride is really put to the test.

A wedding in the Igbo culture is a wonderful way,To learn many traditions and not leave them halfway.

Just like the bride price ritual the marriage takes place in the bride’s compound,Where the bride goes selling boiled eggs to the guests around.

By doing this she shows that she can easily open up a shop,This carries on for a while but then it must stop.

Thebride’sfatherpassesheracupnamedIko,whichisfilledwithpalmwhine,This is when she must use her perceptive skills to shine.

The groom hides himself between his family and friends,And must stay hidden there until this custom ends.

Thebrideissupposedtofindhimandafterhedrinksfromthecup,They are married traditionally and then they rise up,

Forthedancingthatawaitsthepair,Where people wish them prosperity and throw money in the air.

This peace in the Igbo culture of Nigeria did not last long,And when the Christians invaded,The natives tried to stay strong.

They tried to accept the new faith,But were left with despair,

As the hundred-year culture,Disappeared like dust in the air.

The new faith took over the beliefs of man, woman and child,People who did not accept it went wild.

Many were converted,Others committed suicide,

And that’s a short story of how the culture died.

We saw many people with false hope in their hearts,And stood watching as things fell apart.

This year, for the second consecutive year, we begin the long-awaited intercollegiate women’s soccer tournament calledCopaClaro Futsal Femenino 2013.While the tourna-ment started as a sporting event for male players only, it has expanded to include women as well. Saint George School,Ashton School, Notre Dame School, and Lux Mundi, among others, are at the highest competitive level right now. Our school, New Horizons, performed extremely well last year, earning 3rd place and winning a RD$25,000 prize along with recognitionfor“FairPlay”forbeingtheschoolwiththeclean-est game out of all schools throughout the entire tournament. Everyone has anticipated this Cup with such emotion and now itisfinallyhere.OnbehalfoftheNewHorizon’sBulldogs,wewant to invite all of the New Horizon’s families every Saturday afternoon to thePabellón II at theCentroOlímpico tocomesupport our team and help us grow as players.

Prior to the game the Bulldogs’ JV team had on Wednesday, I sat for a moment with the head coach of the Bulldogs Rodi-son Acosta, who has had a celebrated career here at New Horizons, including winning 4 Copa Amistades. Last year,

the varsity team reached 3rd place in the country in the Copa Claro and won 1st in Copa Kola Real. Here is the Q&A.

Q: What are your goals for the next big tournament Claro Tournament? A:Givethebestoutofus;doalittlebitofshowtimeandtobeatopfiveteaminthecountry.

Q: The Claro tournament is a Varsity tournament. What about the JV team?A: We got the Loyola and ABC school tournament, and Evan-gelico Central coming up.

Q: What about two players considered to the best players in the team, Ian and Jacinto?A: Very good talents, they have developed in an incredible fashion.

Q: Final question, what about next year? Any goals?A: I hope the team can keep growing and stay together, hop-ing the JV can replace the Varsity team that is right now con-sisted my many seniors. After this short interview the varsity team went to lose against a high caliber team after a showing of great heart by their part.

Each month, we’ll be bringing you examples of inspirational students here at New Horizons. Ourfirststudent,VieraCarolinaLópezLasunova,isnowinherjunioryear,andhasdoneeverythingyoucouldthinkof.We had the chance to speak with her, and she listed the activities she is currently doing, and how she manages her activities to

fiteverythingintoherbusyschedule.

How do you manage having such a full schedule? Being the Model UN president represents a big responsibility, being a junior in high school is annoyingly painful, and attend-ing French School after school might make you hallucinatewith Satan bathed in blood. It takes a lot of perseverance and patience. Since I am very clear about where I want to go in life, I schedule my days carefully.

What activities do you do aside from the ones we already know of, like French School, and Model UN?I am a writer, I represent a company, and I adopt homeless animals.

What company do you represent? I represent an international network company.

Whats’s the company called, what is your duty, and how did you get there?I am part of Amway Corporation. Amway is a multilevel com-pany of massive growth internationally. I got there by a busi-nessman looking for young leaders.

What do you write about?I am a free writer; one of my goals is to study journalism.

What is “free writing”?FreewritingisanexpressionIuse,whichsimplymeansthatIwrite about my feelings and my art.

What advice can you give to people who want to pursue journalism?Start writing at young age and discover yourself. Do not ever let the words choose the writer. The writer chooses the words.

What does it take for someone to become the president of model UN?Courage, commitment, and passion for not sleeping and work.

How do you feel about all those things you do? And how do you see yourself in 10-15 years?I don’t like the idea of imagining myself in 10 years; I want life to surprise me. I know I have the strength for whatever’s com-ing.

We should take Viera as an example of all that we can ac-complish! Thanks, Viera!

COLLEGE CORNER

by: Jean EricksonCOLLEGE CORNER

Asacollegeadmissionsofficerforatop-20UnitedStatesUniversity,Ivisiteddozensofhighschoolsandreadoverathousand applications for admission each year. The following are my tips for getting the most out of high school visits.

Is demonstrating interest important?YES! Demonstrated interest – the process of showing a school that you’ve taken the time to get to know their offerings – is often an important factor in an admissions decision, and can mean the difference between getting in and getting waitlisted. There are lots of ways to show interest: you can call, email, or request information, but the best ways to prove you really care about a school are to visit the campus or participate in a high school visit.

Okay, okay, I’m going! So can I just show up and sit like a bump on a log?Actually, you could do that. You could just sit down, keep qui-et, and absorb whatever the representative has to say. When you’re starting your college process, this can actually be help-ful, because it can introduce you to the important topics that you should be considering as you narrow your college op-tions. You might get a gut feeling about whether the school truly interests you or not…

I’m sensing a but……BUT it’s always better to show up with questions in mind! Think about what you want in a college. What majors inter-est you? Do you want to play sports? Do you want to watch sports? Do you want to live in the city? The country? Do you care if your classes have 10 students or 100 students? What clubs might you want to join? What are the requirements to get in? If you have some ideas about what you want, you can targetyourquestionstothoseareasandfindoutifaschoolisreallyagoodfitforyou.

Anything else?Relax! Have fun! Learn! And be polite. Admission Counselors will regularly take note of exemplary students and add nice comments to their application folders. The same is also true of students who are rude. So get the information you need and make a strong positive impression. Whether you love the school or not, you’ll be a step closer to your permanent col-lege home!

Stay tuned for more college-related information and applica-tion tips in future issues!

So, wait, what’s a high school visit?I’m glad you asked! In case you aren’t familiar with the college admissions process, a high school visit refers to any time that a college or university representative makes an appointment to meet with students at a high school. The main goal of the representative is usually to build interest in his/her school and answer student questions.

Why should I go? Can’t the Internet answer all my ques-tions?The Internet does, of course, have a wealth of information, but it doesn’t have the same capacity to engage with you about your college selection process, whereas a human can provide you with thoughtful, nuanced answers to your questions! A representative can tell you about majors, requirements, extra-curriculars, housing, student life, etc. in under a minute without skipping a beat. Moreover, attending a high school visit is a great way to demonstrate interest in a school you like!

VALOR DEL MES

48


by: Laura Rosa & Kerry NgVALOR DEL MES DE ENEROOPTIMISM

“Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better you are un-likely to step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportuni-ties to change things, there’s a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours.” - Noam ChomskyOptimism is having strong expectations and knowing that things will go well despite the setbacks and frustrations. An optimistic person knows how to seek help as an alternative to reach their goals or objectives. Optimistic people are made of values such as excitement, happiness and most importantly, hope. Always remember that you will never become an optimistic person when negative people surround you. Whoever is opti-mistic, hardly is conformist. Make your friends think positively by making them notice the bright side of their problems.The most important characteristic of an optimistic person is never giving up and always formulating solutions to every problem in their way, in other words, to persevere. Agoodexampleofanoptimisticperson is thatoneofFelixSanchez, our 2-time 400 meter hurdles Olympic champion. Af-ter becoming Olympic champion in 2004, he kept competing and never gave up. In 2012, he won his second olympic gold medal against all odds. He was not among the favorites to win the gold medal but he had a great performance and won the race.Whenindoubt,rememberFelix!

SURVEY

50


by: Melanie De LimaSURVEY

Which class is hardest for you in school?This survey was asked for kids in 9-12th grade.

Out of all of the classes these were the top four:Calculo/Math: 15Fisica/Physics:12Biologia/Biology:6Quimica/Chemistry:8

With the top hardest class being Math.

With the results of the survey, we could conclude that students might like even more help with these subjects, specificallymathematics. Therefore, this problem should be addressed. What students need is more help and not just help in the class but also in study hall. Some students feel pressured in class to really express their doubts and communicate with their teach-ers. The peer pressure some times worsens the problem.

So, could more study hall hours or the creation of a tutoring program help? Classes will keep getting tougher, so we should look for solutions now!

BARRICK GOLD’S CONTRACT WITH THE DR… BENEFICIAL OR NOT?

The world’s largest mining company dedicated to gold’sextraction–BarrickGoldCorporation—started toworkthe land of Pueblo Viejo, Dominican Republic, during August 2012. Before, throughout and after signing the contract with this company, Dominicans, both nationally and internationally, have protested against the agreement. Nonetheless, it is expected that the company will ben-efit thecountry’seconomybypayingUS$190milliondollarseach year to the government from the total earnings. Undoubt-edly, that’s a large sum of money that the Dominican Republic needs, but is this unstoppable machine taking advantage of our weak, unstable nation? Those who protest believe that this international cor-poration is destroying our natural resources to accomplish their main goals. On the contrary, those who support the deal con-sider this an opportunity to introduce the Dominican Republic

to new mining affairs. The truth is that the property where the gold, silver, and bronze were found was already damaged be-foreBarrickGoldcontrolledit,andperhaps25yearsfromnow,would almost certainly have a meaningless, unfertile piece of territory. You’re maybe asking yourself what this has to do with you, your family or your surroundings… Well, taking a quick look at the country’s current economic status: there’s lack of money everywhere. There are high rates of unemployment, il-literacy, and hunger. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the poorest countries in the American Continent and withmarginslikethisthegovernmenthastofindawaytosolvethecommonissueswithafast,efficient,andorganizedhand.Until now, the techniques the president has used have only af-fected country’s middle class. Why? Because the lower class can’t get any worse, and the upper class isn’t going to be high-ly affected. So those who manage their own companies and deal with their own businesses, have to lower their costs taking ariskofdiminishingtheirworkefficiency. Withthefiscalreform–theinnovativesystemoftaxingthat the president suggested for covering the general debts— thefinancialsituationwillnotimproveforseveralmoreyears;thisiswhyBarrickGolddealdoesnotseemliketheworstofideas, because in the end, the employment rate and the com-mon wealth are increasing near Pueblo Viejo.

By having all this settled, indepen-dentcompanies,firms,andcorporationswon’tbesoaffectedsince more people will have the chance to consume goods and services.

“Welcome to the world of pressure!” Sorry. I mean, “Welcome to High School.” High school is full of unforgettable memories, but as fun as it can be, it also can be miserable; we feel all kinds of pressure from our family, school and most often from our friends.

The society in which we are living is full of expectations. Often, we agree with them, disturbing our idea of beautiful. We want to look handsome like Hollister male models or have the per-fect body like Victoria’s Secret girls. These images and expec-tations are making us doubt what we want to see in ourselves and in what we want to see in the people around us. Both girls and boys are suffering under the pressure to be a certain way. Girlswanttobeskinnyandhaveperfectbodies,longhair, and acne-free faces. Most wish to be like the people in the magazines they read or TV shows they watch. They are dreaming of a time when everyone notices them, their clothes, their looks, and most importantly who they are. The desire to be someone like this makes them destroy themselves by for-getting how they really are by instead focusing on what every-one else wants. You walk through the hallways of your school and you can’t possibly imagine how many girls are suffering from this pressure. Without judging or assuming, notice the details of everygirl yousee.Girlsarechanging theirhairstyles,usingmakeup, and trying to lose weight just to please society: to be what society says is beautiful now. You can ask any girls in high school if they could change themselves into something their friends and classmate could appreciate, and most of them would likely answer, “yes.” Is this when starving yourself becomes as an answer? Is this when the low self-esteem, de-pression, eating disorders, and self-harm come around? Un-fortunately, not only girls are being affected by this. Boys are, too. Many boys, though some may argue otherwise, want to be what every girl dreams of. Just like girls, you guys are being pressured by these images of society where going to thegymmakeseveryguyattractive.Guysfeelpressuredbyathletes for how they look. The athletes have the muscles, the moneyandthegirl,sowhycan’twefindsomeonelikethatinour high school? The gym and school sports activities are your mo-ments to shine, but they aren’t enough. As you trying to be ev-ery girl’s dream, you start trying different proteins shakes and supplements to get that amazing body like some athletes. You also decided to change your eating habits for better body re-sults. You try to be cool, but most importantly you try to get the girls and be considered a girl magnet amongst your friends; seems like you are not different from the girls. We are different and unique. How we look sometimes may not be society’s ideal, but it doesn’t mean we are ugly or we aren’t perfect. These days, our appearances have become so important and crucial in our lives that we start to lose our personality, and it’s sad. Can we ever be perfect just like a Bar-bie? With several surgeries, sure! But with all those surgeries, we still couldn’t be perfect. One student told us: “When I was on a diet, there were

days I stop eating too.” This shows how a girl can evolve from trying to be healthy to getting sick. Another students told us: “I couldn’t do my homework because I spent the whole after-noon working out.” This also shows how boys are willing to give up everything else just to get a muscular body. People are trying so hard to be what society wants that they don’t care abouthurtingtheirownself-confidenceortheirownbody. The role of Barbie sounds nice to have, but people shouldn’t change who they are just to be like her. We are high school students, and we need to start feeling more comfort-able with our appearances and be our own kind of Barbie. Just like we are different from everyone else, we also are per-fect in our unique way.
