Senior Edition--Volume 5--Issue 4--May 2011 To my class: There are some times in life when we wonder about everything; these times come when we have to leave our homes and learn to adapt to new surroundings, environments and people. We are used to being in the same place, safe and cozy; yet we are now faced with a challenge: a change in our lives for something better… for something different and unexpected. Right now we graduate, we become members of something larger than our school, we become a part of the world and contributors to society. For some, this might come as something really difficult, while for others it will be something natural and easy. It is during these times that we, as a class must never forget who we are or where we come from. Remember always that we were, are, Contributors: —

and forever will be part of the 2011 Marista Senior Class and that, for better or worse it has molded us into who we are. We must thank the school, thank the teachers, thank the brothers, our parents and ourselves: for we are now the class that changed the world. –Jose Mario

Dear Class of 2011, Time goes by so fast especially when you are having FUN!!!!! There is nothing like being a SENIOR. We have had our ups and downs, but that is over now. Your plastic bubble just exploded and it is time to move on. You will no longer hear: “Print and Submit on R Campus.” I know how much you loved that site. It sure kept you on your toes. Just when we got the hang of it, bang, it started acting up again!!! “Read and follow the instructions.” “Your next GEO is for….” “There must be more money; there must be more money….” “You need a real haircut.” “Late again!!!!” “Hand in your next chapter for the Senior Memory book, every Friday by 7:30 a.m. “ Historical Backgrounds with the Concept Maps Accelerated Grammar (the miracle worker) College Essays College Résumés Geometric Character Analysis SENIOR MEMORY SCRAPBOOK In spite of all the work you had to do especially my English AP group, my main intention was to prepare you for the next stage in your life. You might have struggled here nevertheless, when you see what you are up against, you are going to finally realize why I was asking for so much. I‟m sure you are going to feel very proud of yourself for being so well prepared. My great satisfaction is when you come back and say thank-you!!! This is what really counts, because in the meantime it is a love -hate -relationship. As the class moderator, I can really say I enjoyed working with the class. There are some very special people who made things happen in a very special way. You gave your all, even though you did not have a position in the class directorate and I am really proud of you. That pep rally was sensational, all I did was supervise, and you did all the work. It is the first time in all my years moderating a class that I felt so at eased. Thanks to the tournament with all your work and sponsorships, you were able to raise the funds to make the most awaited event happen. Indeed, I don‟t want to close this letter without thanking my crew of the “Despedida Senior” for the amazing job they did with this special activity. I have never felt so emotional with the closing and that special tribute they gave me with all the Senior Classes I have moderated and my family. I put my heart in this, because I love what I do. This is one of the things that I will miss the most as I take on my new position. Thank you all for closing this chapter of my life in such a memorable way.

Love you all, Nidia

To my dear seniors,

*

with a lot of love, and I will cherish it always. This year was filled with ups and downs for all of you. Twelfth grade isn‟t easy, but you I can‟t begin to express what I feel survived. Now is the final moment: graduawriting this message to all of you. This end of school year has been very emotional to tion and prom. I am really proud of what you have accomplished and know that me. My son is graduating from eighth there are many great things to come. I grade, so your graduation is sort of what I will be going through in exactly four years. wish you a lot of success in this new stage of your lives. Make the best of it. Carpe DiDuring the graduation mass, I was seeing em!! Show the world that you are capable you and remembering when you were still my students. It all seems like yesterday. This of making a difference. God bless you all today and always. Daisy year has gone by so fast that it makes this moment so difficult. I have very fond memories of your time with me: the birthday wish of the social work, the rehearsals, the day to day in class, the senior proclamation with my presents (Yankee Stadium book with DVD and the autographed baseball), and the final bulletin board you made especially for me. That bulletin board was made

To my beloved 2011 seniors: I thank God for letting me share and be with you on your last year in Marista. I hope that you have enjoyed all of the activities that we have organized with love and care. Believe me when I say that you have left a mark in my life, in the school and in my heart. I‟ve always said that this class is really special; that there is A LOT

of talent and that each and every one of you will go far in life. Fight for your dreams, never give up. When you have faith in God and the Virgin Mary, everything can be achieved. I love you all, Miriam Sánchez

My dear Seniors 2011: I could not be with you for some very special moments of your graduation, which have saddened me a lot, but I have had you in my thoughts and my heart every single moment of these last days of school. I want you all to know how truly special your class is to me. You have been my first four years‟ group at school and it took me really by surprise the way we connected again. It was not easy for me… I still thought I could pamper you and treat you as my kids from Middle School and of course, it did not work. I was in a learning process and you, kiddos, being such a unique bunch of different personalities, made my life sometimes really a nightmare, which surprisingly, ended up being a wonderful dream at the end of the year. I even got to ignore your copying in class and the way you made me change subject during discussions and learned to deal with it with lots of patience and understanding… What was it you said? … My class was your oasis of peace, or something like that! I have learned from my mistakes with you and they were the bridge that took me from inexperience to wisdom. Each and every one of you is going to be missed… some more than others… but I am truly grateful for all your love, your friendship, your support, for the time we spent together during soccer games and club activities and the special bond that will always connect me to you all. I always felt part of your lives and this, I will always cherish. Your energy, laughter and creativity were very contagious… They made my first years in high school very special. Remember to follow your heart, work as if there‟s not enough time for all you want to do in life, and strive to heal the world to make it a better place. Life is full of beauty when the heart is full of love so remember to always love yourself first and then love others. Your life will be always blessed and beautiful for doing so. I wish you the very best life has to offer and hope that you all really, really feel how special you are to me. Thanks again for being part of my life. Live, laugh and love always… Mrs. Ruthie

Senior Song By: José López During Senior Year the class gets nostalgic at some points. They chose songs that are universal and call them theirs. This year, one song especially indicated that this was true. It is Journey‟s song about dreaming and believing that anything can be achieved if one works for it. Another song is very special to me, You‟ll be in my Heart from Phil Collins is basically a translation of our class‟ theme. Diferentes rutas tomaremos pero en nuestros corazones juntos seguiremos translates to: “Different routes we shall take, but we will be in each other‟s hearts”; this song was also very present in our Senior Farewell. Don't Stop Believin' - Journey Just a small town girl Living in a lonely world She took the midnight train going anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train going anywhere A singer in a smoky room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on Strangers, waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlight people, living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Working hard to get my fill Everybody wants a thrill Paying anything to roll the dice Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on Don't stop believing Hold on to that feeling Streetlight people

You’ll be in my heart -Phil Collins Come stop your crying It will be all right Just take my hand Hold it tight I will protect you From all around you I will be here Don't you cry For one so small, You seem so strong My arms will hold you Keep you safe and warm This bond between us Can't be broken I will be here Don't you cry [Chorus] 'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, always Why can't they understand The way we feel? They just don't trust What they can't explain I know we're different but, Deep inside us

We're not that different at all [Repeat Chorus] Don't listen to them 'Cause what do they know? We need each other To have, to hold They'll see in time I know When destiny calls you You must be strong I may not be with you But you've got to hold on They'll see in time I know We'll show them together [Repeat Chorus] Oh, you'll be in my heart (You'll be here in my heart) No matter what they say (I'll be with you) You'll be here in my heart, I'll be there always Always I'll be with you I'll be there for you always Always and always Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder I'll be there always

A Senior Poem By: Jesus Feliciano Thrust against the stage, I feel by some force bound to share something most profound. The crowd has gathered to hear and learn of my greatest fear. There is no room for deception, this is my turn at redemption. As my words begin to profess, my heart intends to confess. A man would surely be bend upon facing, alas, the end. But remember, forget and forgive, it has always been my belief. The end shall come across, it will laugh and grin at us. Yet resist any chance at defeat, this reality will surely be beat. Don’t lose hope, if you may, smile back as you go away. And now, the curtains fall, they close wide and tall, the lights slowly dim out, as I look eagerly about. It has all been pretty timely, we reach our dreaded finale. So with a smile, I know well, I kindly bid you all farewell.

Perfect Senior Girl By: Jesús Feliciano and Gabriel Frattallone First and foremost, it should be made clear that the perfect senior girl is constituted by the sum of many enviable qualities possessed by the lovely female students of Marista’s Senior Class. Beginning from the toes up, the senior should be light on her feet and graceful, much like Natalia Rosado. She should also hold her ground firmly upon sturdy legs, as may be provided by Mónica Beauchamp. The only artistic way to flow smoothly into the following contours of her silhouette would be by employing Natasha Cordero’s hips. However, the face represents a very important feature in the perfect senior girl’s overall complexion. Andrea De Jesus’ face holds the ideal shape to frame the senior’s facial traits. The girl should possess a beautiful and ever-present smile, which she could borrow from Paola Gonzalez. Her face would be adorned by lightly colored freckles, like Beila Trigo’s. Furthermore, her eyes might hold a glimpse of transcendence, such as Sara Fernández’s. The girl’s hair should resemble that of Camila Ortiz, lustrous and silky. The perfect senior shall be embodied in a skin tone very alike Maria Machicote’s. Her figure could emulate that of Mariela Fuentes and her height would try to measure up against Patricia Puig’s or, should a petite version be preffered, Camila Torres’ stature should suffice. The senior’s voice should be melodic and natural, like Marinieves del Valle’s, but with a slight and distinguishing accent, alike Veronica Montinho’s. These vocal chords could equally offer life to a charming laugh like Natalia Sepulveda’s. Nevertheless, as to never lose the inner child everyone holds within, the senior should be playful like Monica Fuste and innocent as Karla Lebron; but she must have an adventurous side comparative to Alexandra Figueroa's Moreover, the girl must have a great sense of humor, like Danielle Silverio, a somewhat carefree, happy-go-lucky, attitude, such as Eva del Valle, and Gabiela Morales’ spontaneity. Such qualities would be greatly enhanced with the addition of Patricia Garcia’s energy, Andrea Gonzalez’s livid spirits, and Francheska Nieves’ charismatic nature. The girl must also be herself and exhibit an advanced degree of authenticity and genuineness for which Sofia Garcia is known. Equilibrium must be conceived between the aforementioned traits and a certain sobriety, as Bianca Cortes possesses, and occasional silence that Isabella Rivera evinces daily. The senior should not only think about herself, but, in considering others, act with sweetness, like Andrea Fernandez, and offer caring support, much like Marcia Fernandez does. However, little can be achieved in life without a deep-rooted faith, like the one Gabriela Bosque holds to heart, and an attitude of calmness and serenity in the face of tempest, such as Natalia Morales’. All these diverse qualities would be efficiently wrapped inside the bounds of humility, which Nayomi Vazquez embodies. A perfect senior girl cannot be considered complete without some specific intellectual characteristics. Most importantly, in the question of intelligence itself, Yeilyn Colon would provide more than enough. Other important aspects of this theme include discipline, responsibility, dedication, and leadership, as seen in Gabriela Lanauze, Paloma Corujo, Michelle Cruz, and Desiree Nieves, respectively. A fondness for hard work would surely be integrated with the contribution of Avielle Suria. Last but not least, a lot can be accomplished with healthy ambition, such as that of Emiliette Morales. Meanwhile Gabriela Santo’s renowned athletic abilities would promote healthy living. Also, Mariela Fernandez’s artistic skills and creativeness could come in handy, much like Andrea Rivera’s devotion for the histrionic arts. From a similar standpoint, Gabriela Fontan’s fashion sense and Ana Fraile’s modeling abilities would complement each other greatly. An eco-friendly lifestyle, as could be provided by Frida Riollano comes in handy in times like these. None is more important than the bond of friendship, which is best evidenced by the long running relationship between Paula Soldevila and Paola Irizarry. The perfect senior girl is, in a nutshell, unique and no one is more unique than Fabiola Cestero. Conclusively, the perfect senior girl is, and shall be the unison of many girls from our class.

60.GRADUATE.

To My Dearest Class of 2011: It has been an honor and privilege to serve you all this year; and on this my last formal address to you as Class President, I wish to convey my sincerest gratitude for the wonderful opportunity you allowed me. Thank you for entrusting me with this position and for your unconditional support throughout all of this year‟s activities. Each one of you made this year an amazing and unforgettable one, for us and for everyone else; no one will forget the Class of 2011. Now, we are all going our separate ways, embarking on a new journey each on our own. Most of us will go on to be great professionals; we will meet new people, move to different places, and start our adult lives. But I am completely certain that this will not be a final goodbye. After so many years together, we – perhaps unintentionally – have become a great family; the bond between all of us as the Class of 1102, probably the best Class that has ever passed through Marista, is of the strongest kind. So , on this „see you later‟, I exhort you all to do whatever it is that brings you happiness, to carry honorable lives, and, above all, never forget this family. Also, I want each and every one of you to know that I will always be in the best disposition to help; you will always have in me a classmate and friend. Know that I am deeply in love with this Class and I will carry all of you in my heart for the rest of my life. I wish you all the best! Love, Your Presi and Friend, Andrea
