Yearbook - Class of 2016

Li v i n gwi t hp a s s i o n

AENEID 2015 - 2016

The Chapel Yearbook is a project designed by students for the school community. The students invested a lot of time and energy to plan, create and produce the pages in an attempt to capture this year’s best moments, memories and events.

This year the seniors chose the Olympics as the yearbook theme. Our team enjoyed the process of researching facts about the origins of sports, uncovering stories from centuries and decades past about the Olympics and its athletes. They based their research on a variety of websites: www.olympic.org, www.buzzle.com, www.bwfbadminton.org, www.rugbyfootballhistory.com, www.diving.isport.com, and www.scholastic.com.

The yearbook pages aim to inspire the whole community to tap into their own passions.

After all, if you try your hardest, you could be a gold medalist!

We hope you enjoy the yearbook as much as we enjoyed being a part of this amazing project.

PRESCHOOL I

Track and Field The Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC according to the first recorded history of the games; however, it is believed the games were occurring long before that time in affiliation with religious festivals held in Greece. In the first official Olympics, Korobius, a cook from the city of Elis in Greece, ran around 200 meters in the present-day Track and Field category and became the first competitor to win in the Olympics Games.

The Olympics was an enormous and prestigious event where only wealthy males and leaders could go and appreciate. In A.D 394, Emperor Theodosius I banned the Olympics stopping the competition of Track and Field until around the 12th Century.

Track and Field Track and Field truly developed in the 19th century in England when schools and universities promoted the sport to their students causing it to gain popularity. In 1849, the Royal Military Academy in England organized the first large-scale Track and Field event of the modern times, and although Track and Field was not as famous before the 1860’s when compared with other Olympic sports, its fame rapidly grew after this time.

In 1866, the newly formed Amateur Athletic Club opened the first English championships to all “gentlemen amateur” athletes who would not receive any financial compensation for their efforts.

The sport gained even more fame after the USA started to invest in Track and Field by creating their own Amateur Athletic Union in 1887. This development by the USA eventually led to the nation’s complete domination over the sport.

Track and Field 1896 marked the first modern Olympic Games after which Track and Field became an international sport for the first time by capturing the imagination of athletes.

By 1913, the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) was formed by athletes from 16 countries. Beginning in 1921, 6 countries allowed women to participate in the sport, and many more countries embraced the spirit and added women’s sports as well.

Once the IAAF officially allowed women to participate in the sport in 1936, athleticism became an “any gender” concept in the Olympics.

Badminton Badminton originated in ancient Europe and Asia over 2000 years ago. Previously, the game was known as “battledore and shuttlecock” using the same equipment: a bat or paddle and a shuttlecock (also called a “birdie”). In the past, badminton was an elite-class game in England and other countries in Europe when it was simply hitting the birdie back and forth with a simple bat as many times as possible without letting the birdie hit the ground.

Badminton As the game of badminton developed, a more contemporary form emerged called “poon,” and it was played in India where a net was added to the court, and the new rules dictated the birdie could not hit the net or the ground. British officers in the mid 1800’s took the game back to England where it grew in popularity. It was introduced to the guests of the Duke of Beaufort at his stately home “Badminton” where its modern name originated.

Badminton In March 1898, the first open badminton tournament was held, and the following year the first English championships were staged. Denmark, the USA, and Canada liked the sport and started to take it seriously during the 1930’s.

Badminton is a relatively new sport in the Olympics joining its first Olympic Games in 1992. Then, in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, mixed doubles were included as an event of badminton where men and women could play together; this is the only event like this that exists in the Olympic Games.

Archery Archery is a sport using a bow to shoot arrows at an intended target. The word archery comes from the Latin “arcus” which means “bow” or “arch.” Archery is one of the oldest sports that is still practiced, and it is closely linked to the development of civilization. That is because archery was used for hunting and for warfare throughout civilization’s history. It was the favorite sport of the Egyptian pharaohs during the 18th dynasty (1567-1320 BC), for example.

Archery Some of the earliest recorded archery tournaments took place in China. In 1200 BC, the Hittites and Assyrians wielded their bows and arrows from chariots becoming formidable opponents in combat. They constructed their bows in a new curved-shape design using tendons, horns, and wood. This made their bows compact and more powerful which was easier to handle for an archer or bowman on horseback. The evolution of archery, as a cultural advance, is comparable to the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel.

Archery In modern times, archery became a competitive sport as well as a leisure activity. Archery first appeared in the Olympic Games in 1900, and has been a part of the games ever since. In Olympic history, Hubert Van Innis of Belgium became the most decorated athlete in archery when he competed between the years of 1900 and 1920 winning six gold and three silver medals in total.

Cycling There are 4 kinds of cycling: BMX, road cycling, track cycling, and mountain biking. Road cycling has proven to be incredibly popular ever since bicycles were invented in the mid-18th century; it has been featured in every Olympic Games since that time. From 1880 to 1900, it grew in popularity both in Europe and the USA. Track cycling is cycling on wooden indoor tracks, and the sport regularly drew large crowds as early as 1870. Its events have been organized at all the editions of the games since 1896, with the exception of the 1972 Olympics in Stockholm when only the road race was staged.

Cycling Mountain biking was born in the 1970s, developed as a form of downhill racing. Taking a bike off-road was nothing new, as evident with the development of track cycling, but the development of a new bike that worked well with an outdoor type of terrain was new. Bikes made for mountain biking have fatter tires, rapid-shift gears, special brakes, and ground-breaking suspension. It quickly became popular, and the sport was finally added to the Olympic Games in 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Cycling BMX biking was developed in California in the late 1960s inspired by motocross. In the decade following, its popularity grew, and an International Federation was formed. Not long after, at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, the sport was officially added to the program.

Numerous spectators are drawn to these unique cycling races; there are eight competitors on a BMX track maneuvering through tight bends, obstacles, and jumps. The sport of cycling in all forms is for thrill-seekers looking for speed!

Diving In the beginning of diving before it became an official Olympic sport, people would jump from bridges, rocks, cliffs, and the lake, and competitions were held to see which diver could glide underwater the farthest after plunging head-first from various heights. Hundreds of years later, diving evolved to be a unique sport where you needed skill, grace, courage, and strength to perform these tasks. Diving is a mixture of gymnastics and ballet performed in the water. In the late 1800’s, diving was called “fancy diving” because of all the spins they would do. People who performed and watched gymnastics and ballet where elegance and skill are combined became captivated by the sport because of all the spins and agility the athletes need.

Diving

In the 1904 Olympics, men’s platform diving and plunging were the two diving competitions, and at that time, the USA and Germans were the only teams competing. The first winner of diving in the Olympics was an athlete from the USA named George Sheldon; however, Sheldon’s title had controversy surrounding it. The Germans in this event performed more difficult dives, but they would crash on their stomachs whereas the USA executed a graceful plunge, but with less difficulty. Spectators thought what mattered was the degree of difficulty compared with the actual performance of the dive. Since that time, athletes have evolved in skill, and the scoring has developed to incorporate multiple aspects of the dive.

Rugby In the beginning of this sport, people would make their own rules which usually consisted of grabbing the ball, running, and waiting to get tackled. In the ancient Olympic Games, the Greeks would play a game similar to rugby that was called “harpastum,” and the game had set rules. There were teams of 27 players who can use both feet and hands to score. Goals were scored by throwing the ball over a designated spot on the perimeter of the field. The playing field was a giant sand pit with a goal running the width of each end. There was a main referee, six linesmen, and a field master. Each game was played out for 50 minutes with the winner being the team with the most points or “cacce.”

Rugby The rugby of today kept a lot from this original game that was mostly played in small Greek villages.

Now, rugby has an official rules book that contains more than 150 rules. Rugby was always a really strong and popular sport in the Olympics ever since its inception in the 1896 Olympic Games. Rugby has an interesting history in the Olympics because of the racial segregation that occurred in the sport’s history, specifically involving South Africa and the Apartheid.

Ultimately, players and spectators fought for equal representation in the sport, and thus the segregation was lifted.

Fencing Swordplay has been practiced for thousands of years in self-defense and warfare. For these reasons, fencing was developed by the military as a way to train the soldiers in swordplay to develop their skill without getting injured in the training process. It did not become a sport until the 15th century. Fencing was first included in the Olympics in the 1896 games in Athens, and it has been a part of the Olympic Games ever since. The women’s fencing competition entered into the Olympics at the 1924 games in Paris.

Fencing In this sport’s competition, there are three types of weapons: foil, sabre, and epee. Women athletes competing in this sport could only use the foil while men could use all types; however, in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, epee competitions for the women’s category were introduced. Women’s sabre competition finally appeared in the 2004 Olympics. One of the most famous athletes in fencing is an Italian named Nedo Nadi who is the only fencer to earn a medal in all three categories. Nedo Nadi competed in the 1912 Olympics at the age of 18 and won in the foil.

Then, he fought the First World War and came back eight years later and won five more medals in single competitions and team events.

Field Hockey Field hockey is a fast-moving and skillful game played outdoors in teams of 11. Field hockey is the one of the oldest “stick” sports; according to records, it existed in Persia in 2000 BC. The name of “hockey” came from the French “hocquet” which refers to the curved stick that is used to hit the ball. It became an Olympic sport in 1908. After its first appearance in the 1908 London Games, it was an immediate success and became a permanent sport in the Olympic program.

Water Polo There are some skills and movements necessary in water polo: picking up the ball, passing, dry passing (which is when the ball does not touch the water), wet passing (which is intentionally passing on top of the water), shooting, baulking, and swimming with the ball. There are three special allowances for the goalkeeper in the sport: 1. they can punch the ball with a balled up fist; 2. they can touch the ball with two hands; and 3. they can touch the bottom of the pool. A goal is scored when the ball completely passes the two goalposts underneath the crossbar. There are some specific types of equipment needed for water polo: the ball, mouth guard, swimwear, and caps that protect the head and ears as well as identify team members.

Gymnastics

Gymnastics can be divided into 3 parts: artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline. Artistic gymnastics first emerged in the Athens Olympics in 1896, and gymnastics has been part of the Olympics ever since. The sport was originally from ancient Greece where philosophers advocated for strengthening activities like gymnastics to be performed as the perfect regulator between the mind and body.

It is now usually an indoor sport, but sometimes it can be played outside like it was when it first appeared in the Olympics, but only if there is a suitable court and location. In order to score in handball, a player needs to get the ball in the opponent’s goal, but there are some rules that make scoring difficult: players cannot use their feet to kick the ball and they cannot move more than 3 steps at a time.

Historians predict the high society of England created the game of table tennis sometime around the 1880’s. A line of books would often be the net, the rounded top of a champagne cork would be the ball, and occasionally a cigar box lid would be a racket.

Golf

The golf course has nine or 18 holes. Each hole must contain a tee box (where players start the hole) and a putting green which contains the actual cup (or end point) of the hole. On the course, there are various types of terrain indicating locations of the ball: the fairway, which is the ideal place to have your ball because the grass is the smoothest; the rough, where the thicker grass lines the sides of the fairway; and the hazards, which are either water or sand where, if you ball lands there, you are penalized.

Plans after Chapel: Graduate from a Brazilian university and find the true meaning

of success within my career. Never break apart from my Chapel friends

Mãe e Pai: Não tenho palavras para descrever o amor e gratidão que tenho por vocês e fazer isso em um limite de palavras é impossível. É inexplicável o apoio que vocês me deram nesses últimos anos, sempre ao meu lado nas mais fáceis e difíceis decisões que tive que tomar e tenho certeza de que daqui pra frente não será diferente. Hoje sei que posso contar com vocês com tudo, sem exceção! Muito obrigado por sempre se envolverem com carinho, confiança, e sei que tudo o que fizeram e fazem é para o meu melhor, tudo o que sei e sou é por causa de vocês.

Sei que será muito difícil ter tanto sucesso quanto vocês tanto como pessoas, como profissionais, mas se um dia eu chegar lá, terei realizado meu sonho. Muito obrigado e amo vocês! Lu: Quantas vezes já ouvi de você que sou “insuportável”? Inúmeras. Posso até te pedir desculpas, de coração, mas meu objetivo aqui não é esse. Pode ter certeza de que sempre que te “encho o saco” pedindo para descer para a quadra, sair para comer ou fazer qualquer outra coisa que te impeça do que você estava fazendo é porque eu procuro fazer algo que nós dois podemos fazer juntos e com prazer. Nunca vou esquecer quando você falou o quanto é difícil “arrancar” um sorriso seu, por isso pode ter certeza de que quando eu fizer isso eu estarei feliz e esse sempre foi meu objetivo desde então. Pode ser difícil para você acreditar nisso, mas eu te amo. Class of 2016: Thank you for all the moments we spent together in school, hanging out, and trips. Those were the best with you guys, and I couldn’t ask for a more united or better class. Love you all. Los nerds: Thank you for being who you are. Santi: You definitely make a difference in our class; you make it better, and I’m happy to be able to count on you always in everything. Nicolas: I’m happy to have a friend like you. Whether we were traveling together, studying together, laughing together, practicing sports together, I know that everything we did and every moment we spent together was worth it. Liam: You can count on me always. It doesn’t matter if you’re studying in Brazil or abroad. I’ll never forget “the corridor.” Dan: Man, I can’t remember all the times you made me laugh in- and outside of class. “You make me happy.” Leo: When I get my driver’s license, we will cruise. Pedro: “Freguês” in squash. Always remember to open the windows in your car. Mudi: “It’s us always, bro.” I’m sure that our friendship will last forever. Thank you for everything, seriously. Gui: Friendship since forever and forever. Thank you for all the hangouts we went to together. Going with you is always better. Will: I’m so happy you’re going to EURO with us. Never change. I know our friendship will last forever. Joe: Giving a ride to you always was and will always be a pleasure. Good luck in FEA, man. Kiep: I know that all our “fights” were what strengthened our friendship.

Haha! We still have to have that tennis match. Good luck in the USA, you “monster.” João: You’re huge, man; you don’t fit on this page. Good luck abroad and never stop being the caring person you are. Kenzo: Thank you for always being honest and sincere and for always motivating me to be a better student and a better person. We need to skate more. Juan: I know you will make this world a better place. Good luck, you crazy Mexican. Adrian: I know it must’ve been hard not being able to play soccer, but don’t worry, man, because countless opportunities will appear, I’m sure. Good luck, bro. Alan and Enrico: You guys are huge! Miss you. Never stop visiting.

Cesar: Future “Best DJ in the World.” Pietro: Smartest guy in the class. You have my vote for president. Tiago: Good luck in the USA, and come visit us!

Plans after Chapel: Be the most underrated non-Brazilian to study in Brazil What to say. This school played such a huge role in my life. Sitting in a desk for 8 hours every day with my friends around me seemed ordinary, but now that I am departing, I realize how valuable it really was. A minute in school felt like eternity, an hour felt like forever, a week flashed by, and a year went by in the blink of an eye.

Mami: Espero que entiendas que lo que les escribo acá no llega ni a los talones para agradecerte todo lo que hiciste por mi en todos estos años. Todo el cariño y amor que me regalaste es incomparable con cualquier otro en el mundo. Simplesmente GRACIAS, TE AMO. Papi: Mi Héroe.

El más gracioso. El de mejor humor siempre. Toda mi vida busqué reflejarme en tu imagen, una imagen de esfuerzo y humildad. Menos mal que tengo tus genes. TE AMO PA! Manu: Mi mejor amigo. Podríamos tranquilamente ser la misma persona. Ahora te toca a vos.

Gracias por todo nerds, te quiero! Alma: Me volvés loco, pero quiero que sepas que sos la más divertida, la que me hace reír por tu actitud inesperada. Te quiero bebé!

To my very dear friends: Juan: eat, sleep, tacos, repeat, man. You were always there when I needed you… always so correct. A lot of the decisions I made were influenced by you. Never change! João V: together since Day 1, and still a lot more to come, man. Don’t worry; we’ll get into USP. Thanks for being such a great friend! Kiep: Always by my side when I needed you the most. You are easily one of my best friends. Too many things in common, brother! You should have stayed in Brazil for college. Nick: Torminson, you’ve been an original to me, always making me laugh. You could also easily be a brother. Thank you for everything, man! Liam: too many dumb jokes. I can’t handle them. Great guy to be around because you’re never angry. Stay! Bora sushi? Gui: You’re a great friend, and one of the nicest guys to be around. You make me laugh all the time. Digo double G! Kenz: THE nicest, humblest man of all. You’ve been such a great friend to me ever since I was little! You always helped me when I needed, and vice versa. You don’t dress too well, though. Let’s go skating? Pedro: You little devil, you’ve been a great leader to many people, including me! When are you going to accept being the all time greatest potato and monitor? Moe: I laugh at everything, but you make me laugh the most. Filthiest Cobra ever! I’m glad you’re staying so I can beat you in Mafia. Adrian: Although you’re mad all the time (JK), without you, I would’ve quit Spanish. Good luck, man! Joe: You’re an awesome friend! Don’t worry; we’ll graduate again in 4 years, but next time from USP. Will: Thanks for the laughs in World Religions. You’re a very good friend to me. I’m happy that you’re staying, man! Cesar: Best QualitiesUber and Paris 6. JK, man. You’re always making me laugh with the weirdest stories. Stay in Brazil! Pi: Man, you work and type fast. You are my skateboard buddy. Thanks for always being a good friend and having a free house! João Costa: How do you even fit on this page?

Although you are extremely lazy (and huge), you’re always there in Math to help, and you are a great friend. Thanks! Leo: Let’s open up a studio! Musician bud. Rafa: Most understanding one of them all. A great friend and person. Thanks for everything! Girls: I wish you all of the best! Good luck in college, and thanks for everything. Los Nerds: This isn’t goodbye; it’s only just the beginning. Lu, Emilio: Don’t miss me too much. Known you two since you were babies. P.S. Emilio, I’m taller than you. Guarana, Tony, CJ: Never change, you little rascals.

You guys are awesome. Joaquin: #Ballislife To everyone in Chapel: all I have to say is THANK YOU. I leave with you some last words from Nelson Mandela: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”

Plans after Chapel: Going back to Japan to study in college To Everyone: I want to thank all of you for understanding me and being friendly even though I was a boring, quiet guy. The four years I spent at Chapel were special for me. I have a lot to say, but unfortunately I cannot write a message for each one of you. I hope all of you understand that I have many more things to say. I’ll miss you all!

My Parents: Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to study at Chapel School.

Although I disappointed you sometimes, you kept helping me out and supporting me.

Thank you for everything.

Angelo: I don’t know if you remember, but you were the first guy who talked to me when I came to Chapel in 9th grade. You taught me how to play Hearthstone for the first year. I’m way better than you now, though. (lol) Anyway, thank you, and good luck in Korea! Gui: Well, you were always sitting in front of me in Geography class and you actually made me laugh sometimes.

I really liked having class with you. Pedro: You are such a nice guy! I liked seeing you and Joseph debating for some stupid reason. (lol) Good luck in college! Paulo: Such a smart guy. I could beat you only in Math... You are probably one of the smartest guys I’ve ever seen. I don’t know which college you are going to, but it’s going to be a great university for sure. Well, thanks for everything! Pietro: I think you were the one who talked to me the most during Senior year. I might not be able to play Hearthstone after going back to Japan, but I’ll try. Make sure to keep in touch, man. Let’s meet again someday! Daniel: Hello, Tristana player! Well, I still think that Tristana sucks, but it might be my misunderstanding. I really liked playing with you and hearing some baloney from you! I’ll miss you when I go back to Japan. Nicolas: Hey, Marin! I really liked talking with you. I’ll miss you so much! I’m not sure if we can play LOL together after going back to Japan, but probably in NA? Good luck in college!

Nice “I got great endings, right?” (You know what I mean, right?) Adrian: What’s up, my friend? You made my English class so fun even when it was less than fun… Still, whenever you came up with a new way to greet, I was really excited to hear it. Well, if you find a new funny Dab, just tell me; I’ll be waiting for you. I’ll miss you so much. João Paulo: I still remember one stupid thing I asked you when I was in 9th grade. I asked you if you were Mongolian because everyone was calling you that. (lol) You were always nice to me. Thanks for everything, man! Leo: I didn’t talk to you that much, but you were always a perfect student in my mind. Good luck in college! Juan: Juaaan! Well, I think I’ll try to visit Mexico. Let’s eat tacos together someday! I’ll miss you!

Cesar: My favorite DJ! I had so much fun at that hangout with your remixed music. Joao Carrete: I had fun playing LOL with you. I’ll miss you, man! Liam: It was so funny watching you say something to Juan in Geography class. Good luck in college, man!

Bruno: One of the best sport guys I know. Good luck in college, and see you someday! Joseph: Whatever you said was funny to me. You made me laugh so much! Thanks for that, and I’ll miss you! Kenzo: You were very kind to me. Visit Japan someday; I’ll be waiting for you, man! Mohamad: I think you were the guy who started calling me Papaya. I liked that nickname. I’ll miss you, man!

Mãe: Muito obrigado por cuidar de mim todos os dias e fazer de mim a sua prioridade máxima. Eu sei que tudo que você faz é porque você quer que eu tenha um bom futuro e seja feliz. Apesar de eu querer ir morar longe, você é com certeza uma das pessoas mais importantes na minha vida e eu sempre estarei disponível quando for preciso, do mesmo jeito que eu sei que você estará. Pai: Muito obrigado também por fazer tudo que você faz por mim. Apesar de eu não gostar das broncas e discussões que eventualmente acontecem, eu sei que tudo que você faz é por querer o melhor pra mim. Eu escrevo isso para mostrar que você, a mamãe e o Pedro são as pessoas mais importantes pra mim. Pedro: Even though you make fun of me and irritate me all the time, you are still my brother, and I will always be here for you no matter what. Kiep (Fraquissimo): It’s been a pleasure knowing you for these last few years. I am glad to say that today you are not only a friend to me but a brother. I know we will probably go to different places, and you won’t talk to anyone because you hate people and you will still somehow make friends, but we will always be bros. Liam: We both know the struggle of making a joke that other people don’t understand. I am going to miss having someone who thinks the same way I do and who understands all my jokes. Bros forever.

We will always be teammates and bros even though when we play as partners, I always have to carry the team.

Rach: You are a person who I normally call “nerd,” but you’re also one of the nicest people I know. Malzoni: High five! Ju Vieira: Why does it say pink if it’s not pink? And, there’s a whole in your shirt!

You’re a very skilled drummer, but most of all, an amazing person. Keep doing what you’re doing, bro. LIAM, How can I describe our friendship? I can’t. I can just remember the insane moments, the laughs, the stupid, nonsense stuff we just can’t stop saying under any circumstances. I love you, bro. Keep awesome.

You’re awesome. Max, True friends are those who stay with you during hard times. I believe you fit the description. Thanks for sharing the presidency of NHS w/ me!

Kiep: You don’t need to buy me Todynho, although that carrot cake would be pretty nice. I’d be happy with the sofa. FIFA on the PS4 is way better than on the computer. Rafa: Rafinhaaa, you are my older sister.

There is never too little sushi. You know that I am taller than João. Promise me you will keep your spirit because you will help a lot of people in the future. Procrastination is like eating a lot… You always kind of regret it in the end, but you keep doing it.

Rach: Hai, you are weird, but fortunately not as much as me. Let’s go eat pastel at the feira. Sorry, I won’t be able to be your eye model anymore. Disney’s head animator better watch out. Juan: Juan, you don’t need to go back to Gui, and the sofa wasn’t that small. As much as I enjoyed you singing and turning the lights on and off in the bathroom, I really needed some sleep. João: “You popcorn” You know I’m better in Physics; no denying it. Chemistry, maybe not as much… You can’t deny that I’m also taller than you, and it’s not because of my shoes. Marin: Niiiic, I’m good, man.

Still going to finish the CNC and make something. Santi: You are the most underrated Mafia player. Sorry for abandoning you in Chem. Pedro: Our Physics class is way better than the other one.

Pietro: No one will ever beat us on making outlines when we are workaholics. Adrian: Adriaaaan Marino, sup, man? Don’t you open up that window, don’t... You know the rest. Savage. Cesar: An Uber ride to Alphaville is 50. Not sure what happened, but that 110v shock did make you funny. Liam: Only ones to still have a handshake. Never going to forget it. Angelo: Wake up, man; class is over. I thank you for having patience while reading all my English essays. Math HL: We did it... kind of. Masaya: Stop playing League of Legends! Artur: Kappa, still don’t get it. 4th place is not that bad.History(HLO): I did turn in my IA.

Mom Você sempre foi minha melhor amiga. Nossa relação é tão especial que levaria muito mais do que a distância que vai existir entre nós esse ano para realmente nos distanciar. Eu tenho muito orgulho de você e eu só tenho a agradecer todo o apoio que você me deu nesses 18 anos. Tenho muita sorte de ter você! Muito obrigada por me dar conselhos, me escutar e rir comigo todos os dias. Love you!

Dad I’m so proud to have you as my dad. I have always looked up to you and have always wanted to have your determination and ambition. These things have kept me going and helped me set my future goals. Muito obrigada pelo incentivo e tudo que você fez que me ajudou a chegar onde eu estou hoje. I’m so lucky to have you as a dad, and I’ll work hard every day for the rest of my life to try and make you proud! Love you.

Isa&Ma I have high hopes for you, and I know both of you have such a bright future ahead of you and that both of you will work hard to get there in your different and unique ways. I consider you two my little sisters and I love the relationship we have! I can’t describe how much I’m going to miss you! I love you two with all my heart and no matter where I go, that will remain unchanged. Rac Dude, you have been with me only since 10th grade, and you’re one of my favorite people in the world. These past years we have stuck together and been there for each other through thick and thin. Best friend is an understatement for you. I look forward to watching one of your movies when you start working at Disney! Love ya! Max Underrated friendship (kkkkk). We have a connection that is hard to explain (tumbleweed). Btw, you know who’s underrated? I love our jokes, laughs, and talks. We have been there for each other for the laughs and for the heartbreaks, and you get how crazy I can be. Love you so much! Fe&Karra (Let me concentrate) Karra, I can’t think of you and not start laughing! We became friends all of a sudden and it stuck. Fe, you got me through school every day by making me laugh! School wouldn’t have been as much fun without you. Jiu We’ve been together since forever, Red Brick, 4fit, Company, Chapel, UCLA, French, wouldn’t have been the same without you. Bru We’ve known each other for a while, but I love that we became closer this year! Cheer was awesome! Kerlly Miss Popularité! Thanks for always having a smile on your face! You helped brighten my days at Chapel. Paloma Smartest and kindest person I know! Nin Good luck at BU! Sarah You were so fun to be around (that is, when you chose to go to school). Mari You got me and we got each other man. Even though you’re not here, you never left my side (figuratively speaking). Paulo Thanks for putting up with me in Chem and for helping me with stuff I was too stupid to figure out alone! It was great because you became one of my best friends! Cesar I’ll miss you and the toy animal collection you have on your phone. Stef (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) Friends since 8th grade, we have gone through a lot! I hope I see one of your movies in the future! Kenzo Thanks for being annoyingly nice. João *hand+nod* Gonzalo Chem would not have been as much fun without you! Don’t miss me too much!

Juan I’ll never forget the days at the ranch, one of the best/funniest things ever. Les Puissantes You’ll all be missed, and I’ll carry all of our moments with me for the rest of my life! Bi, Te, Isa, Dadi, Marina You guys will always be my best friends, and I love that I will always have you guys to come back to because a friendship like ours can’t be broken by distance. We have already proven that! I’ll miss you guys. Rapha Thanks for making learning and writing written tasks enjoyable. Ms. Paula Thanks for guiding us and being more than a teacher to us! Mr. Murphy Thank you for all the support!

Nesses poucos caracteres que tenho para escrever eu só tenho a agradecer cada alegria que ambos me proporcionaram nessa vida. As inúmeras viagens, o dinheiro investido, a liberdade que me deram e as madrugadas em claro são coisas surreais. Pais como vocês existem, melhores também existem, mas o “Vou deitar, me acorda em 10 minutos” do Marcelo e o “Cadê meu celular, acho que deixei em casa. Achei! Não estou achando meus óculos...” da Jaqueline é o que faz eu amar vocês. A perfeição na teoria é linda mas a imperfeição na pratica é melhor ainda.

Plans after Chapel: Travel across the world Mom and Dad: To the two people who made all of this real, in reality I would need this whole page to express how thankful I am for you. I could never have asked for more supportive parents who are always proud of me yet always pushing me to achieve my full potential. You are the most important people in my life, truly, and it is immeasurable how thankful I am to have this opportunity and to have such loving parents and a united family. I love both of you so much. I consider myself so lucky for having both of you as parents. You have shaped who I am, and all I can ask for is to be more like both of you. Forever my role models. Emi: I might not show it, but I love you, bro. Never forget that. You have good years ahead of you, so make good use of them. You never really appreciate something until it is over. Look around, and learn and shape who you are. Let Chapel help you become the person you always dreamed of being. Mate: Possibly my greatest role model. You taught me to always follow my dreams, to go against all odds in search of what I love, and to aspire to be a better person, to be who I am. Your wisdom has always driven me forward, and I only give you my full support. I want you to know that I love you.

Gus: One of the greatest loves of my life, I have no idea what I would do without you. The love and happiness that you spread is incredible, and despite everything and everyone, I love you more than anything. Rafa: You are the most important person in this life.

“Family” is too little to say how close I consider you. My best friend since always, I lost track of how many times I told you I loved you.

No one cares or understands me so well. Your insecurities and problems are always something I will devote myself to solving, and all I want in this life is for you to be happy. You are in a confusing stage, but when you find what you love, a person as passionate as you are will surely be incredible in life. Rapha: It is impossible for a teacher to be more inspiring and honest. What I learned with you has shaped me as a person, and I will take that with me for the rest of my life. Pietro, Kenzo: The most loyal friends I clearly don’t deserve. You are always there for me, concerned and loyal. You make me realize what real friends are. João, Santi, Liam: My oldest friends, my love for you is unconditional, and I know that we will always be as close as when we were 4, no matter how distant we are in time or space. Dan: One of the most loyal and hilarious friends, always sincere and keeping the real people close. Moe: You are always who I look to when something funny happens, especially when Dan is involved. Will: One of the friendliest people I know, making you laugh with my yawns makes my day. You are the guy who loves his friends the most just like I love you, bro. Mongus: It is always hilarious to fight or argue with you. All I remember is having fun with you, bro. JUEN: Be it lack of sleep or food, your expressions made my day. Joe, Gui, Drinho: You guys always make any situation funnier. With me since always, school wouldn’t have been the same without the experiences we shared. ninbabylindapucci90%: Joyful and playful, I love talking to you about surf, skate, wake. I don’t think I’ll meet someone as huggable and affectionate as you. Adrian: Good laughs with Dan and you. Léo: Always hilarious and smart. Tiago: “If you need some extra help, well, I can help.” - Drake Paulo: Keep surfin’ Helen: The person I am the most comfortable around. Always thoughtful, open minded and intelligent. I really hold you high. Class of 2016: 3800 characters is too little. I love all of you and I know we will all have bright futures, and when they coincide, we won’t be short on memories to share.

Find what you love, find your meaning in life, and follow it to the end. All the rest is irrelevant. Be happy.

Mom and Dad: Hard to know what to say to you except thank you. Thank you for everything: the support, help, and company. In fact, I have a lot of thanking to do but little space to write everything. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I love you so much. Even through we sometimes fight, you are a source of inspiration and a safe harbor. Thank you. Juliana Malzoni: Ju, even though we had our our moments apart, I want you to know that the memories we made together will stay with me for the rest of my life. They were some of the best moments of my life. I will always admire you the way I first did when we met in Art Class. That slightly goth (just slightly), charimastic, charming, and welcoming Ju that I will always love. Rachel Bavaresco: Rach, seriously, that get together we went to when you first got in school was one of the funniest and best memories I have. From that point on, I knew we were going to get along really well. Seriously, I never thought I would meet someone with so many common interests. I’ll really miss you! I hope that we can still keep in touch and hang out while we’re both studying in California! P.S. I still don’t know if the guy killed the spider. Fernanda Alcantara: Fe you’re one of the funniest people I can gladly call my friend. You always have a way to make me laugh and make me forget all of the overdue work I have to do. I think I’ll have to hire someone at your college to distract you during a presentation with the mosquito sound because I’m not going to be there to do it. Maxine Fergie: Maxine Fergie, I love spending time with you. Hours pass by as minutes when I’m with you. I can honestly say that I’m going to miss you the most when we graduate. I hope that we can still keep in touch because honestly you’re a wonderful person, and we share so many common interests. I’ll miss our Miami memories. Paloma Batt: Palomaaa!! You are the most delightful person I know, there is just something about your bubbly personality that makes me want to spend enormous amounts of time with you. I’ll miss discussing with you the crappy TV Shows we watch. Kerlly Khoury: George e Ana Claudia 4 Life! I admire your positivity, and I’ll miss having you around. I loved going to the movies with you and Paloma. I’ll really miss you and I’m sure you’re going to be extremely successful at your job wherever you choose to study. P.S. we still have to do photoshoots hahahah. Bruna Karabachian: Bruna, first of all. I want to point out how excited I am to watch. “Keeping Up with the Karabachians.” I truly believe that you will be successful in any area that you decide to work in. You are extremely outstanding in anything you decide to commit yourself to. I’ll miss you. Sarah Vasconcellos: Sarahhh! I’ll really miss spending time with you in Art and Portuguese.

You made boring days at school turn in to an awesome time. I can’t wait to see you win an Olympic gold metal in equestrian. Karen Khoury: Karen I’ll never forget when you hid behind me at Fernanda’s house because her Grandmother was shoving her dog in your face. Helena Scomparim: Helena, I’ll really miss you.

Mãe: muito obrigado por sempre me apoiar, brigando quando necessário, mas sempre do meu lado, fazendo as melhores escolhas para me beneficiar. Pai: obrigado pelas broncas, e por sempre fazer de tudo para me deixar na linha. Deu tudo certo, viu? Foi duro, e de vez em quando encheu o saco, mas sei que foi sempre por amor. Amo vocês dois demais!

To all my friends, fortunately everyone in my grade, I love you all so much. I will miss the endless laughter, the wonderful moments, and the way we are all so strongly bonded. I will never forget any of you and will keep every single one of you in my heart forever.

Mudi: I will really miss the fun we had in school, the two of us always getting in trouble for the most ridiculous reasons. Liam: Thank you for the early high school years when you would go to my house almost every day to play PES 2010. It was really awesome. João Carrete: Hangouts would never be the same without you. The way you would flirt will always bring a smile to my face. Kenzo: Thank you for being a wonderful friend ever since my first day at Chapel, and even after I messed up, you gave our friendship a second chance. Pietro: All the fun playing League of Legends and trips to Tabatinga will be really missed. Will: Being able to make you laugh would make my day everyday. Pedro: You were a really annoying guy during high school, so I think you should apologize. Gui: Thank you for always being so funny and being a role model for all the guys when in Paineiras. Joe: Please behave, and make good choices.

Cesar: You imitating Silvio Santos and Mickey would always bring a smile to my face. Kiep: Thank you for always being on my side when we played Mafia. João Costa: Remember to open your door for me in a couple of years when I’m a monster so I can beat you up. Léo: A really big part of high school for me was playing GTA V, DayZ, and Arma 3 with you. I will really miss those moments.

Stefano: That time we went to Saga and became friends with those people was hilarious. Send Kate my regards when you two get married. Adri: You want me to throw a cup of water in your face? What a hilarious day! Tiago: I hope you become the biggest Bitcoin investor in the world and become a billionaire from it. Santi: You will always have the title of “cutest and most friendly guy” of the grade. Juan: When I become a monster, I’m going to rub my hand on your back as strong as I can so you see how good that burn is.

Masaya: Tristana is the most broken champion in League of Legends. Angelo: Thank you for helping in my early days. LoL. Paulo: Ms. Giltner asked me to remind you to give her your History IA. Girls: Thank you for always spreading good vibes for everyone in school. If it wasn’t for you, Chapel would be a school just for boys.

Well, Los Nerds, I was really afraid and nervous when I was moving schools from Stance Dual to Chapel in 3rd grade. How could I have known that it would be the best life change I could ever go through. Every single one of you had a part in my youth. You were all like a big family to me. I really don’t know how I am going to make it without you guys. I would wake up every morning really tired and sad to have to go to school. Seeing all your faces everyday is what helped me get through it. Every single one of you has a reserved space in my heart, forever. It was an honor to be able to make you all laugh. Your smiles made me smile. I love you all so much.

Papa Smurf Não seria quem sou hoje sem todos os seus discursos desconexos, chamados para o jantar e cobranças de beijos. Mesmo absorvendo apenas 30% de todos seus sermões, você sempre será meu herói e inspiração. MF Você sabe o quanto você significa para mim e nunca terei as palavras suficientes para expressar o quanto sou grata por tudo que você já fez por mim. Te amo demais! Christ If you still don’t know how much your little sister looks up to you, you should by now. I’m so proud to call you my big brother, and I’m going to miss your ever-vigilant supervision. Sisters Let’s be honest, if I had to write a little message for each one of you, there wouldn’t be enough space left on the page. Christos gets one because he’s the only boy. You’ve been a huge source of support for me in these last few years, and for that I’m eternally grateful. I love you guys! Helena Once you’re old enough to read, remember your aunt loves you very much! Johnny You’ve become such a huge part of my life in such a short span of time that I can’t even come close to describing how much you mean to me. You’re my best friend, and I know I can always count on you for anything, any time, no matter what.

“Cimento” and “Red Brick” F.C. Even though I was the only girl on the team, you always made me feel included since Day One. I couldn’t ask for better friends. When we first sorted teams according to whatever Pre-school we went to before Chapel, I actually lied and said I went to Red Brick instead of Monica’s just to get sorted with the good team with all the Lebanese boys because, let’s face it, “cimento” was just awful. Pietro After 2 broken arms, I have no idea how we still remained friends. Even though we probably curse more at each other than actually talk, I’ll miss our heated discussions and “sort of meaningful” conversations. Stef You’ve been my partner-in-crime since you arrived at Chapel. After all the years of whining, complaining, procrastinating, and movie-reviewing, we actually graduated (hopefully). Rafa Even though we didn’t have any classes together for the past two years, I know I can always come to you with any problem, and you’ll help me through it. You’ve helped me through a super complicated part of my life, and for that, I’ll never be able to thank you enough. Ju V. You’ve been a huge source of support for me, and even though we drifted apart these past few years, I’ll always be there for you. Fe I’ll miss our endless discussions of TV shows, books, and exotic travel destinations. You’re the funniest person I know, and it’s going to be awful in the US without you to brighten my day. Max I’m sorry for that one time I called you “machine gun” in, like, the sixth grade. But in all seriousness now, I’m going to miss our in-class gossiping about who kissed who and who said what to whom. Rach When you read this again in a few years, you’ll probably be a famous animator at Disney or Pixar, so please do a sequel for “Up!” Kerlly I hope that by the time you read this, you’ll have figured out where you want to go and what you want to study.

Seriously, just stop being lazy and do Medicine at Santa Casa. Paloma You’re the kindest and smartest person I know. After all the years of success in high school, I’m sure you’ll end up doing great things, and I’ll always be there rooting for you. Les (you know what) I’ve literally grown up with you guys, and I can’t imagine a world where I don’t see you every day. Ms. Vieira I’m sorry for the excessive inquiries in HL Math.

This class is probably not the easiest one to teach, given the gang of gossiping parrots (Masaya excluded) who take your class, but you’ve succeeded into making it my favorite part of the day. Ms. Cortellini It goes without saying that Physics has never been my strong suit, but your understanding and dedication made it much less frustrating.

For every moment, you have been there for everything. We’ll be close in college and hopefully future roommates with Mab, and we will be unstoppable. I’ll be always knocking on your door. I can’t let you go after so long, and unfortunately you’ll still have to deal with me for a long time. No matter if I’m in Boston or NY, I’ll need a permanent bed in your dorm. Love you!

Going through everything together in these last few years made me not be able to lose you. The trust I have in you is unimaginable.

Ti: What to write to someone who already knows everything?

Meeting you changed me in the best way. I’ll never forget how you make me feel and all we went through. I’ll miss not going over anytime when I’m sad, when I’m bored, or when I need to rant. You know this isn’t goodbye, and though we’ll be apart in college, our hearts will always be connected. Hoping you’ll be my future lawyer… I’ll keep your number on hand for emergencies. “Que Sorte a Nossa”, Love you. <3 Bru: My future famous BFF, thanks for everything we’ve been through and all the fun moments we had.

Plans after Chapel: Become a teacher

I would like to use this page to thank all my teachers for all their help and all they have taught me.

Mr.Murphy: Words can’t express how thankful I am; neither can they express how much you mean to me. You were my only friend when no one else cared. You helped me see the world and see myself from a new angle. Our brief chats and exchanges in the hall always brightened up my day. Thanks for all the support and love.

Mr.Martins: In your class, I learned what culture, education, and intelligence really are. I want you to know you are my role model.

To this day, I still do not understand why you chose to become a teacher, but I am thankful regardless.

Sir.Vaughan: I did not quite get to know you that well: first semester was crazy and second semester I didn’t care about school anymore. I want to thank you for the great time in your class. Thanks for being so REAL. Mr.Gonsalves: I know I wasn’t always the easiest cup of tea. I’d like to apologize for the troubles I brought you, and thank you for putting up with me. At the end of the day, I would like to thank you for all the nice and sometimes not so nice but true words you’ve given me. Although it was less than a year, I am very thankful for having you as a teacher.

Mrs.Vieira: Your Math class was by far the hardest class of my high school career but also one of my favorites. I would always look forward to going to your class. I had lots of fun and learned a lot. You are one of the most knowledgeable teachers I know. You were always so friendly and generous. Thanks so much for all the support. Hope I got the 7 I promised you.

Mrs.Smith: Although you were only my teacher for a year, you were always someone I looked up to. I was excited when you picked up the Knowledge Bowl team. I had a great season, and I was honored to work by your side. Your class was by far one of the most interesting, and it helped me decide my second major: literature. Thank you so much for all the wise words and support. No matter where I go, I’ll keep trying to be as positive as Gabe.

Mr.Kantor: Our time together was very short. It was only a semester, but it was an honor. Your disposition to help your students is unmatched. Thanks a lot for your wise words.

Mr.Padilha: Your energy and smile always made your class so interesting and pithy. Your spirit and costumes always lightened up my day. Thanks for always being so great.

Mr.Kuroiwa: I have told you many times how great of a teacher you are. You’re one of the sweetest teachers I have ever met. You are so friendly and caring. All of this reflects on how you treat all your students. When I am a Chemistry teacher, I’ll use you as a model.

Thanks for all the help, support and love. Hope I got the 7 I promised you.

Sir.Rombaut: Although you abandoned me after a year, I’m still very thankful for your teachings. Your class inspired me to take the exam for World Religions. Your smile always brought happiness to wherever we were, although it didn’t come out that often. Thanks for being such a great and accepting teacher, coach, and person. You’ll remember me. *Cheers* to the most handsome guy in school.

Mrs.Julia: I know it must have been hard to have someone like me on your team, and I want to thank you for taking care of me when I needed it. I had an unforgettable, amazing experience and it’s mostly thanks to you. Thanks for believing in me when no one else did, not even myself.

To all the other teachers: Sir.Bell Ms.Kang Ms.Vompean Ms.Moro Ms.Araripe Ms.Baines Mr.Campbell Ms.Cortellini Mr.Han Ms.Randerson Ms.Terra Ms.Sylvia Ms.Giltner Thank you for all the small exchanges, smiles, and warm regards. Even in our brief exchanges in the hall, I could always tell you guys cared.

Know I admire you all greatly, and I aspire to one day be as good a teacher as you all are. Again, thank you so much.

Liam: Didn’t expect to have a person like you as a friend. Glad I did. Good luck wherever you go.

Marin: One and only person who shares my interests in philosophy. Your insight is deep, and I’m sure it will help the world greatly some day. Wanting to publish a philosophy book with you wasn’t a joke. Let’s meet up again in the future and make that happen. We’ll call Rachel for the design.

Masaya: Now that I think about it, we can visit each other’s countries. We can eat sushi with kimchi. Or kimchi sushi. Whichever you prefer.

Rafa: Every time, I picture you as a cheerful and compassionate person who cares about everyone in an non-discriminatory manner. Nice to have met a high-spirited person like you.

Teachers, thank you all for teaching me that it is necessary to look back at what I had said or did. For anyone who is reading this text, I recommend you look back at the beginning of everything. Make the connections, and see what you find. I assure you, a subtle yet powerful message awaits you, one that you have missed but most definitely need to know.

É… Sou… Somos. A condição de ser é simplesmente peculiar, pois cada momento é composto de uma variação única e perfeita das emoções, projetadas pelo passado, presente e futuro.

Pai e Mãe, tudo que sou, devo a vocês. Todos os momentos lindos que me foram proporcionados, guardo com muito carinho e cuidado e espero algum dia retribuir todo amor e esforço que me foram investidos. “Arquitetos hoje tendem a depreciar-se, a considerar-se como não mais do que os cidadãos comuns, sem o poder de reformar o futuro.” - Kenzo Tange. Saibam que vocês são lendas, que qualquer um que depreciá-los não valoriza perfeição e se mesmo assim vocês forem “cidadãos comuns,” seguro estou de que a sociedade prosperará. Thais, Hey There! Você é a melhor irmã do mundo: fofa, original, destemida e aventureira. Obrigado por tudo, basicamente. Your banana pancakes are the best! Pi aka Cyka, bro, the most arrogant guy in the world (with reason). I know I won’t miss you because we’ll talk every day. Thanks for being a brother to me. For the record, how come you suck so much at FIFA? Los Nerds, my bros, let me break it down: Marin, Insta famous, skating/surfing pro, the @jayalvarez of our grade, and your brains. It was a pleasure growing next to you, man. You make the best “churras.” (Enjoy your hair while you still have it). Enrico, the most massive human being/monster I’ve ever met. I miss our movie sessions. You are the white Rick Ross, and I hope when you buy your 3 houses and 2 islands you remember this yellow friend of yours. Alan aka As, simply huge, and a huge heart as well. Come back and let’s talk about females and your fatalistic adventures. Greg, my little Asian brother whose favorite phrase (next to me) was: “Shut up, Kenzo.” Thank you for failing every single time and never getting me to actually shut up. Santi aka Fofo, he was resurrected and conquered our hearts once again. Let’s go penny boarding. (Doesn’t sound very cool, but still…) Kiep, always fun to talk about inferior beings with you. It feels like we’ve been allies for decades. Rafa, the only woman bro I’ll ever have (probably) and the best “getter.” We have the best music taste ever. Never stop whipping, never stop naeing, and I’ll always dab for you. JVC, Dan, Cesar, tell your cousins I said, “Hi.” JVC, You’re the nicest guy I’ve ever met. Despite your laziness, I appreciate your brief moments of effort.Dan, despite our misfortunes, I am glad we found peace once again. You are a comedy icon and you lighten everyone’s day with your meaningless discussions. Liam Dunphy aka Legend, It is an honor to epically greet you every time I see you. João Back aka Mongus, your hugs brighten my days. Promise to pay me visits and lift me 99283 meters up. Juan, crossing borders everyday just to see me, bro. Thanks for all the laughs. Adrian aka José, stop swearing so much. (I bet your senior page was impossible for you to write.)

Mo & Gui, the masters of jokes and the “ladies men” of our grade, you guys can make anyone crack a smile. Will, the myth, you have the most amazing way of cheering people up, bro. Joe, marked by your amazing defensive skills, your Crocs, and the biggest heart.

You always stand for what/who you believe in. RESPECT. Pedro aka Peter, my captain. Keep your hands off me, man! Well, I guess it’s PHYSICALLY impossible. Leo, I will miss your suicidal rides and your weird humor. Nina aka Nin, our skating sessions are golden. When you get to Boston, we can do Skype skate sessions. Sarah, thank you for NEVER being there… Still when you were, you were the source of my jokes. Helen, my fashion counselor and the most gorgeous girl in school, good to know you’re staying in Brazil. Girls, it was great having you there. Good luck.

Essa trajetória que acabo de concluir não teria sido possível sem seu apoio continuo. Te agradecer não faz jus ao esforço, sacrifício, dedicação e, acima de tudo, amor que você demonstrou e continua demonstrando à mim.Te amo mami. Papi: Qualquer um que observa o nosso quotidiano deve lhe parabenizar, pois não é qualquer um que consegue administrar uma empresa considerada a melhor em seu ramo e conseguir voltar a tempo para aproveitar o final de semana com os filhos.

Me orgulho muitíssimo de poder dizer que este homem é meu pai. Espero conseguir ter tanto sucesso quanto você teve em minha trajetória, muito parecida com a sua, não por coincidência obviamente. Te amo papi. Vininho: Words can’t explain the bond we have, the connection we share. Only those who are lucky enough to have a sibling can understand it, and even in this group there are only few who are as blessed as I am to have a brother like you. I truly hope that your 4 remaining years as a Trojan are as amazing as mine.

Enjoy not having anyone to bump into you in the halls. Lele: I have two older sisters, and yet you managed to play the sister part better than they did. Most of my high school experience is owed to our very entertaining “saídas”, especially the ones that end with us seated at a random street corner at 6am talking about the highlights and mistakes of the evening. I am most definitely proud to call you my best friend. Love you, bebe. Max: I will miss you so, so much when you’re gone. I hope your college life in the USA is everything you want it to be and more. One more thing: thanks for financially supporting me all these summers in Miami, reminding you, once again, that it was against my will. Fam: I honestly have never connected as much with a group of people as I have with you guys. Even though we are all going different places in the world, I hope our friendship still lives on and that you all are there for me on Sunday mornings when I need some counseling from the previous night. Love you so much. Mudi: I am so thankful to have a friend as great as you, always patient when listening to my random rants about life and making me laugh about it later. I know your future is so much brighter than you plan it to be. Pedro: I see so much potential in you, and believe me, Drin, you will go very far no matter what you end up doing in life. I can’t wait to make fun of your baldness during college. Joe: I am so relieved that the suffering you put me through every day is finally over. Just kidding, over the years you have become a brother to me. Gui & Will: I am so glad that you guys will stay in Brazil.

I honestly can’t picture myself going through college without your wonderful smiles to keep me happy. Sarah: Real eyes realize real lies! Don’t forget Villa on Wednesday. Paloma, Ke, Karen: I am so happy to have been your friends, and I will miss not seeing you every day. Ju,Fefe: My friendship with both of you goes way back. I hope we continue to be friends, and I wish you guys nothing but the best in college. Kiep: Manda... Ms.Moro: You were undoubtedly more than just a teacher; you were a mentor. French wasn’t the only thing you taught me in the past few years. Thanks for everything. Mr.Martins: I was lucky enough to not only have you as my teacher, but to have you appointed as my advisor. You are probably the best teacher I have ever had during my school years. Ms.Paladini: Your class managed to be the highlight of my day. One more thing: please skip “the true story behind Nemo” part of the class when teaching your future students. Class: You were not only a very great group of friends, but you guys became my family as well. I wouldn’t have made it through all these years in school if it weren’t for the friendship we all had. I wish nothing but the best for you guys in your future careers.

STUCO

This year we learned that being part of StuCo can be very challenging. To ensure success we needed to collaborate and communicate clearly with one another, as well as invest time and energy to plan and execute all the StuCo events throughout the year. We encountered many challenges concerning our limited budget, however that did not stop us from starting projects and creating fundraising opportunities, such as the Book Sale, the Hunger Games at the International Festival, and the Festa Junina activities.

StuCo also organized a new event in High School: the Chapel Music Festival; which was so successful that it made a certain Howard Murphy emotionally happy. We discovered crazy talents and amazing people. We kept up with the traditional 7th Grade Fun Night, the Pep Rallies and Bake Sales, which gained us great trust from the administration. Running the Snack Bar was also one of our responsibilities, and also an opportunity to interact with students from all grade levels.

From all of these achievements StuCo had, there is one thing in Advisor: Ms. Maxine Baines special that I think we did that I had never seen before: we became Executive Officers: Pietro Guglielmi, Joseph Saab, a sort of family in the end, always willing to cover each other’s backs- to compliment people on their efforts, and celebrate our Mohamad Mourad, and Kenzo Takano personal and collective successes.

Our goals for next year are to continue implementing projects which encourage school spirit and also create new channels of communication within our community; so that the student body can express their suggestions, ideas and concerns in an authentic manner.

NHS

The National Honor Society (NHS) is a service organization that acts to make the school community more active in relation to real world problems. In NHS, students are actively engaged with their fellow student body as well as the community through various projects that aim to benefit of both parties. Chapel’s chapter of the National Honor Society serves as a means to connect the faculty, students, and community leaders to accomplish these projects such as a Community Blood Drive, Winter Clothing Drive, Workers’ Breakfast, and others. The activities the NHS organizes are fundamental to the development of its members’ character and leadership skills as well as their collaborative skills. In order to become a member of the NHS, one needs to consistently demonstrate the four main NHS traits: Character, Scholarship, Leadership and Service.

Activities and Events 175

NjHS In the second year of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) at Chapel School, group members, along with their advisor, Mr. Érico Padilha, had the privilege to work together to create projects to benefit not only the school but also people in need.

With the “Food and Clothing Drive,” together with the National Honor Society, NJHS helped the school collect food and clothing that was later donated, and with the Halloween Candy Grams, the group raised hundreds of reais for the next project: the Second Annual Movie Night! The Movie Night is an event brought to the Chapel community by NJHS, in which the community is offered the opportunity to watch a movie on the field with their families and friends. It’s a perfect chance to have fun and enjoy the school!

One of the most important moments NJHS had this school year was the Induction Ceremony when the group officially welcomed new members. Another important event was beginning the Selection Process that helped the group pick the most qualified students for next year’s NJHS. However, the most important moment is, without a doubt, the meetings when the group gets to discuss projects and think about ways to help the community.

model united nations

MUN is the acronym for Model United Nations. It is a group of students that simulates the United Nations goals of solving worldwide issues. There are 8 committees that constitute MUN: ECOSOC, Security Council, Political Committee, Human Rights, Legal Committee, and 3 special committees that differ each year.

This year, MUN members participated in 4 different conferences: THIMUN (The Hague International Model United Nations), SPMUN (Sao Paulo Model United Nations), CHAMUN (Chapel Model United Nations), and BRAMUN (Brazil Model United Nations). For the first time ever, Chapel MUN participated in THIMUN, which was held in Montevideo, Uruguay. The group also hosted SPMUN at Chapel where Chapel MUN’s president, Juan Jose Juarez Vignon-Whaley, was the Secretary General of the conference. CHAMUN was a special conference that sought to accustom new members to the MUN environment. Last, but certainly not least, BRAMUN, held in Bahia, amassed around 15 schools for a 4 dayconference.

KNOWLEDGE BOWL The Knowledge Bowl is an interdisciplinary academic competition that takes each semester. Chapel competes against other schools from across Brazil,

place once during Chile, and Peru.

This year’s Knowledge Bowl season was quite strenuous but also rewarding. The students travelled to their first competition at ISC (International School of Curitiba). The team’s first few matches at this competition were great! They swept almost every team. Chapel then went to Semi-Finals where they eventually lost by one point, ultimately taking fourth place.

The second tournament was at EARJ (Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro) where Chapel competed as a 4-man team. They defeated all their rivals beating both teams that took from them second and third place at the last competition. In addition, they defeated their longtime rivals, Graded. It was amazing! In the end, Chapel was tied for third place with Graded and EARJ, and after official meetings and reading of the rules, Chapel was awarded fifth place. All in all it was a good hustle, and in the end, the group is proud of their achievements!

ES OUTDOOR SCHOOL

Outdoor School trips in the Elementary School were opportunities for fun learning for everyone!

The first grade classes visited the Pullman Factory and were impressed by the huge machines that make the bread. Students experienced the step-by-step process of making different types of breads, cookies, crackers, and cakes. All classes learned how important the Pullman Bread Factory is in our community. Also away from the everyday classroom cenario, second and third graders had exciting experiences learning about alligators and other animals, open-air geography lessons, and finding dinosaur fossils. At Sítio do Carroção in Tatuí, they were able to explore trails and go through caves. This amazing resort provides so many different learning situations, in both academic and social-emotional areas. As for fourth, fifth and sixth graders, Republica do Lago, also known as Replago, was the chosen destination for outdoor learning and fun. In the city of Leme, the camp has a beautiful lake and lots of field games for the children to practice their CARES skills. This year we had special activities at American Football, Master Chef, Biology, Arts and Crafts, and more.

high school art

The 2015-2016 school year had some truly amazing moments for the Arts program at Chapel. We displayed exhibitions throughout the school, and we even had a photo contest sponsored by Photoarts where students had their photos printed and exhibited! In the Brazilian Program Art Interventions students from 9th and 10th grade constructed incredible masks inspired by the genre of drama as well as charcoal drawings and watercolor paintings which were inspired by the book Capitães de Areia. Our students also produced amazing canvasses that exceeded expectations: self-portraits with mirrors from 8th grade, Singing in the Rain-inspired paintings from 7th grade, and color schemes paintings from 9th and 10th grades. IB Art students had amazing experiences with their individual productions that resulted in a one-of-a kind art show exhibition. Last but not least, their trip to Inhotim was once again responsible for creating memories that they will carry for the rest of their lives.

I am very proud of our incredible student artists! Congratulations to all!

CHAPEL SCHOOL OUTREACH

To quote a trite expression, “A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words” is particularly apt for the Chapel School Outreach Program. The photos in pictures one and two are the 9th grade girls preparing and decorating Easter Boxes for the Chocolate Easter Egg drive. Julia, Julia Tolda, Alva, Giovanna, Livia, Fausta and Renata used their talent and enthusiasm to make the event extra special. In Photo #3 Mr. Han, several teachers and children from the Maria Helen Drexel Institution happily show some Eggs that Chapel delivered and donated for a Happy Easter. Photo #4 is a partial view of the 688 chocolate Eggs that Chapel students donated for the yearly Easter Egg Drive from ECEC, Elementary and High School. Photo #5 is a photo of the SHARE Organization delivering Easter eggs that Chapel students collected and asked them to distribute. Photo #6 are happy children showing their appreciation and delight with their new gifts. Photos 7-12 are a series of moments of the elementary students sharing their time and singing talent at the Ondina Lobo Home.

The third grade class participated in a Christmas visit to bring good cheer, deliver cards and food to the residents.These Outreach projects are just a sample of the activities that Chapel students are involved in throughout the school year. It is with pride and honor that we teach our students the value of service and commitment to others.

building our COMMunity CARES C.A.R.E.S. – Each Friday, mixed groups of Elementary students from 1st through 6th grades meet to learn and practice the CARES standards. CARES stands for Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self-Control. This year, students learned about responsibility and assertion. The semester ends with a whole-school assembly to showcase student learning. This year, a student-led flashmob about responsibility and a student-made movie showing assertion in action enriched the assembly program.

Activities and Events 199

Advisory Program Advisory Program – Advisory is a “break” from high school students’ busy and demanding academic routine to reflect on their lives, personal actions, community needs, and cultural diversity. In a 30-minute weekly meeting for students in grades 7 through 12, the advisory group creates a trusting community while discussing real life themes and situations like responsible use of internet and citizenship.

Creativity, Activity, Service

CAS – CAS is an avenue for IB students to showcase who they are to the world. Through the Creativity, Activity, and Service Program, 11th and 12th graders personalize their learning and create a portfolio of their extracurricular achievements. Students are encouraged to reflect on the projects they initiate and improve their 21st century fluencies such as creativity, collaboration, solution, and media fluency.

WOC - Class Trips

GIN Conference GIN – Chapel school took three groups of students to this year's Global Issues Network Conference in Rio de Janeiro. At this conference in October, these students had the opportunity to present to students from all over Latin America their social and environmental projects developed throughout the school year to improve the community. They also attended lectures from keynote speakers such as Vik Muniz, Binka Le Breton and Bela Gil. Chapel students presented the following projects: - E-Bench: a solar-powered bench which allows you to charge your cell-phone while seated outdoors.

- Maria Alegria: a series of planned activities aimed to bring joy to children fighting cancer.

- Clube da Saúde: health awareness lessons for underprivileged children and teenagers at a local orphanage.

GIN members are now ready to develop and apply new ideas to contribute to our society and to engage other students in their quest for a better world!

parent messages to seniors

Fernanda Aulicino Graziano Alcantara

Difícil não se emocionar ao lembrar daquela loirinha de sorriso largo e cativante, com suas “chuquinhas”, quietinha mas sempre observando atentamente tudo o que se passava a sua volta, para depois pedir algo ou falar algo com atenção, do seu jeitinho doce, e agora reparamos que o tempo passou, ela cresceu, se tornou uma mulher, que está vencendo uma etapa fundamental da sua vida, a formação escolar, o alicerce fundamental para o futuro que aparecerá cheio de desafios e obstáculos.

Fernanda querida, parabéns pela sua formatura, que seja o início de uma nova etapa vencedora como foi esta primeira, que todas as suas expectativas venham a se concretizar, todos seus sonhos e ambições sejam realizados, muitas vezes você desanimará, mas tenha sempre em mente sua capacidade de executar o que sonhou para você, e saiba que sempre estaremos por perto para darmos apoio, amor e dedicação para o que você precisar.

Que venha um futuro maravilhoso!!!

Beijos.

Te amamos, Papai, Mamãe e Ju.

Sis, tenho muito orgulho de você e da mulher que esta se tornando. Nunca deve deixar de ser essa pessoa que é: criativa, sonhadora, compassiva, amorosa e forte. Nunca deixe de acreditar em si mesma e seguir em frente. Você me inspira muito em ser uma pessoa melhor e buscar meus sonhos. Onde quer que eu esteja e o que for que aconteça saiba que sempre estarei aqui. E nunca se esqueça da famalay. Te amo sis! Laura

Minha Rafinha querida, Você é a alegria da nossa casa. Desde pequena sempre carinhosa, preocupada com os amigos e a família. Ao mesmo tempo agitada e bagunceira. Ossos quebrados, dentinhos, e você sabe mais o quê. Difícil segurar tanta energia e vontade de viver! A mesma energia que você expressa no seu sentimento profundo de amor pelos amigos, seus irmãos, sua família e eu sei que por nós, seus pais! Continue assim, com o mesmo amor e carinho pelas pessoas. Você já tem a fórmula da felicidade!

Fica tranquila, tenho muito orgulho de você minha filha amada.

Joao Victor Sanchez Carrete Querido Filho, Desde seu primeiro olhar, cheio de inquietude e de desejo por descobertas, você vem transformando nossas vidas, nos inspirando a caminhar na direção da auto-superação. Sua formatura nos faz sentir, por um lado, grande orgulho por completar uma importante fase de sua vida, por outro, não podemos deixar de reconhecer a presença da angústia em nossos corações pela saudade do nosso pequeno tão “forte e musculoso” que chega à sua vida adulta. Não tenha medo de sonhar e de se arriscar, saiba que acreditamos na sua capacidade de julgamento, por demonstrar desde cedo a facilidade de gerenciar suas obrigações: os intensos treinos diários de tênis, as competições dos finais de semana, seus estudos, sem nunca deixar de lado o seu jeito tão gentil, simpático e querido por todos. E lembre-se, estaremos sempre por perto para apoiálo, abraçá-lo e amá-lo, quaisquer que sejam suas dúvidas e apreensões, e para brindarmos suas conquistas e as realizações de seus sonhos.

Com Amor, seus pais.

Primeiro eu queria dizer parabéns por ter chegado até aqui.

Como todos os outros vou sentir saudades de passar meus dias com você. Apesar de nossas várias brigas e mal entendimentos eu amo você, eu não podia ter tido um irmão melhor, boa sorte com a próxima fase da sua vida. Tamo junto bro. Lufi

Tata Kerlly Antoun El Khouri

of love and motivation. The time has come. Our last little bird is finally ready to hop on the edge of our nest and take that leap into a new world. Imagine us as teachers of life, we can say you have excelled in every subject. Your motivation is of a kind to admire, since your days as a baby to your recent leadership role with NHS. You have understood the 7 virtues of mankind.

Always be honest to yourself, honesty to others will follow. Use your knowledge well, as ignorance breeds suffering, use your wisdom so you are not distracted by temptation. Be generous with love, the more you love the more you will get back. Be patient with yourself and with others and to forgive yourself.

Continue to be an inspiration of kindness; and most of all, be humble. As you soar into the new unknown world, be assured you are ready. Be at peace, do not look back, go, discover, trust your instincts and if you need reassurance, remember family is your greatest treasure and your forever nest. We love you.

Mamaa & Dad Max. I have had the immense pleasure of watching you grow from the tiny little runt of the family into a beautiful, intelligent, strong young woman. Watching you grow every day inspires me to be better. I look at you and know that I have not only a sister, but a best friend for life. I love you to infinity and beyond.

Nicole Maxine, you have a special gift: bringing out the good in everyone. Always making people smile and positive. You have such a good outlook on life. Remember, a Trojan is always a fighter. Ian Maria Beatriz Silva Fernandes

Então, escolha o melhor e seja muito feliz.

Lilian, Sidney Pietro Beyruti Guglielmi Querido filho, Parabéns, você completou mais uma etapa da sua vida. Porém, ainda tem muito pela frente, o que vai exigir mais de você.

O destino é uma questão de escolha e quem faz a escolha , escreve sua própria história, constrói seus próprios caminhos.

Somos pérolas únicas no teatro da vida e devemos entender que não existem pessoas de sucesso e pessoas fracassadas; o que existem são pessoas que lutam pelos seus sonhos e pessoas que desistem deles.

Os sonhos não determinam o lugar onde você vai chegar, mas produzem a força necessária para tirá-lo do lugar em que você está. Lembre-se que a grandeza de um ser humano não está no quanto ele sabe, mas, no quanto ele tem consciência que não sabe. Seja humilde, aprenda a escutar, respeitar e a amar. Tenha autoconfiança, supere os obstáculos, mantenha a perseverança e o otimismo.

Você é um filho maravilhoso, de bem com a vida, inteligente, amigo, carinhoso e muito espirituoso. Desejamos que consiga realizar cada um de seus sonhos e que a vida lhe traga um futuro cheio de felicidades e amor. Amamos você!

Mônica e José Eduardo Querido Pi, Parabéns por essa etapa concluída na sua vida..que pra variar você tirou de letra! Tenho muito orgulho de ser seu irmão e o que eu tenho pra te dizer é: não mude esse seu jeito nunca, que com certeza só virão coisas boas com o tempo! Vai fazer muito falta aqui. Te amo bro! Abração, Victor Juan Jose Juarez Vignon Whaley Juanjo, Desde que naciste, has sido una bendición, un ser especial, con gran corazón lleno de luz, amor y alegría que das a todos los que te rodeamos. Hoy vemos con gran orgullo que te has convertido en un gran ser humano, íntegro en valores y firmes convicciones, noble, caritativo, responsable y exitoso.

Te admiramos por tener siempre una sonrisa, una palabra de aliento y una actitud positiva ante cualquier situación que hace que nuestra familia se llene de felicidad. Gracias por dar lo mejor de ti, a todos y en todo momento. Te deseamos un futuro lleno de satisfacciones, de éxitos, pero más que nada, Sigue siendo siempre TU MISMO! Felicidades por tu graduación, estamos Super-Orgullosos de ti. Vas a comenzar un nuevo ciclo que es maravilloso.

Persigue tus sueños, y con tus bases, esfuerzo y dedicación, tendrás las oportunidades que harán que esos sueños se hagan realidad. Es tan solo el final de una etapa, y verás que lo mejor está por comenzar ! Te queremos mucho!

Bruna Chamma Karabachian Bruna, este nome, me encanta, me diverte, me alegra.

É um privilégio ser seu pai.

Desde o início na Chapel aos três anos, vendo todos os desafios que a vida lhe ofereceu sendo vencidos um a um me dão a certeza que você vai continuar escrevendo uma linda história.

Fico muito feliz quando, em alguns momentos, consigo identificar em mim uma ou outra das suas inúmeras qualidades, quando isso acontece, sinto-me um ser humano melhor.

Bruna, você está preparada para superar as dificuldades e aproveitar os bons momentos.

Bem-vinda ao início da vida adulta, o mundo te espera de braços abertos.

TE AMO, Papai.

Bruna, Estive e estarei ao seu lado nos momentos mais alegres e nos mais difíceis. Assisti você superando as dificuldades e se divertindo nas facilidades com a mesma intensidade.

Agradeço a Deus por ter me dado você. Sei que com sua garra, continuará sua linda história de conquistas e vitórias.

Que orgulho tenho de você minha filha!

TE AMO, Mamãe Bru, Não poderia pedir por presente maior do que encontrar na minha irmã uma companheira e melhor amiga.

Você é uma pessoa maravilhosa, dona de um coração enorme e de um brilho especial. Te admiro e tenho muito orgulho da mulher linda que você se tornou.

Desejo muita sorte nessa nova etapa. Seja qual for o caminho escolhido, tenho certeza que será de sucesso.

Estou sempre com você.

Te amo! Sofia Karen Khoury Filha querida, Nesse momento especial não sei o que dizer, só tenho que agradecer a Deus pela oportunidade e o presente que ele me reservou de ser sua mãe. Você é o meu orgulho, linda de alma e coração. Desejo muita sorte e sucesso e que alcance os seus objetivos...Boa sorte princesa nessa nova etapa. TE AMO! Mamãe.

Karkura Habibi, Esse é o jeito que estou acostumando a te chamar. Você cresceu tão rápido, que nem percebi. Algum tempo atrás, carregava você no colo e colocava para dormir. Hoje você é uma mulher, responsável e determinada, mas para mim, você continua sendo a mesma, filha querida, animada e muito amada.

Estou orgulhoso de você e desejo com todo meu amor, muita sorte nessa nova fase na sua vida. Conte sempre comigo, para tudo, até o resto da minha vida. TE AMO MUITO! Papai.

Karen, vou sentir muito sua falta, principalmente antes de ir pra escola de manhã. Pode contar sempre comigo, independente das circunstâncias, por que eu sempre vou estar ao seu lado.

Você sempre será a maior nerd que eu conheço. Te amo bastante.

Rodrigo.

“Como o William virou um homem tão bonito e educado.”

Obrigada filho por nos deixar ouvir essa frase, e por nos fazer muito orgulhosos de você. Habibi, queremos te falar pela primeira vez, de como a sua chegada ao mundo nos ajudou a enfrentar a dor de morar longe dos nossos pais, enchendo de alegria os nossos dias. Torçemos para sua felicidade e sucesso sempre. Você sabe que estaremos sempre do seu lado, te amamos muito. Mamãe e Papai Paulo Du Mont Lacombe Paulo, treino, empenho, desafios, percalços, tempestades e ventanias, aprendizado, foco, esgotamento, vitórias e derrotas, amizades, cooperação, procura de metas cada vez mais altas fazem parte de sua bagagem trazida por algo que já é parte de você “road bike”! Uma bela experiência que somada, a seus dons inatos desenvolvidos em anos de estudo (mais os que virão) e uma vontade de ir além realizando projetos em diferentes áreas e mantendo uma sabia curiosidade sobre áreas que desafiam a inteligência humana, já representam uma bela conquista. É justamente aí que o sentido da vida se soma ao seu esforço por trazer ao mundo a qualidade de vida real que tanto aspiramos! Go for it! God Bless you! Octavio e Angela

escuros e lisos, pra mim sempre bela e determinada, segura, objetiva, batalhadora, focada, cognitiva, habilidosa, dedicada, discreta, solidária, sensível, carinhosa, querida, divertida e meu maior tesouro. Parabéns minha querida Ju por esses 15 anos de Chapel! Tenho certeza que está pronta para sua nova missão!

Leve consigo sempre consciência, paciência, ponderação, valores e princípios e seja muito feliz! “Aqui é onde acaba a terra e começa o mar” Luís de Camões.

Te amo Mom Ju O que faz uma boa pessoa?

Uma boa pessoa prepara-se para os desafios da vida; Preza a palavra dada; Respeita os outros; Trata a todos com cordialidade; Encara a dificuldade com coragem; Constrói a própria honradez, pois nunca se desvia do que é correto; Faz com que perto dela a má ação seja constrangedora para quem a pratica; Ajuda os que estão em dificuldade; Obrigado a você filha. Ver o cuidado com que você se prepara, seu respeito, sinceridade, bondade e coragem me faze ter certeza de que você é uma boa pessoa e dá a mim a honra de ser seu pai.

Pedro Bakhos Maria Pe, lembro do meu loirinho lindo indo pra Chapel todo alegre pra encontrar os amigos que se tornaram uma grande família e estarão sempre te acompanhando pela vida. Tão querido, especial e essencial, é um presente na vida de cada um que te conhece e convive com você. Carinhoso, sempre nos deu muito orgulho. Você é muito mais do que merecíamos... Luz das nossas vidas, que seu caminho seja lindo e maravilhoso, que continue a brilhar e seu sorriso lindo sempre esteja com você. Vamos sentir muita falta de te ver jogando com toda aquela garra, nosso “capitão campeão”, mas agora vai continuar por outro caminho e nós iremos te seguir e “babar” com o seu sucesso. Nosso Maria, nosso Amor Papai e Mamãe Bro, vou sentir sua falta no carro com suas músicas super iradas, vou sentir falta de te ensinar a jogar futebol, Te amo..aproveita.

MATE Jose Adrian Marino Latuff Adrián, Estos años que hemos pasado han sido importantísimos, especialmente para ti de eso te darás cuenta luego, cuando el tiempo pase y los recuerdos queden. Hoy no eres más el mismo, has crecido muchísimo no solo física como personalmente donde has madurado y te has transformado en un hombre de bien siendo mejor cada día que pasa, sabemos que forjaras tu camino haciéndolo brillar con esa fuerza de voluntad única que te caracteriza y que hace de ti un verdadero hombre.

Desde muy chico hemos admirado la pasión con la que vives y como te aferras a tus ideales además de demostrar siempre un grado de madurez que va más allá de tu edad, esa virtud y esa brillantez de pensamiento nos regocija y nos hace estar orgullosos de quien eres y en quien te has transformado sea para nosotros como para tu abuelos, tíos y muy especialmente para tus hermanos que te ven no solo como un ejemplo a seguir sino también como un amigo único e incondicional capaz de disfrutar con ellos desde las más pequeñas cosas hasta los momentos más importantes.

Hijo, no podemos dejar pasar esta oportunidad sin agradecerte por ser quien eres, por haber sido el pilar sobre el cual hemos construido nuestra familia, por eso queremos desearte la mayor suerte del mundo y esperamos poder siempre ayudarte, te amamos muchísimo..

Pa y Ma Stefano Arantes Matarangas Querido Stefano, Primeiramente gostaríamos de parabenizá-lo por esta conquista tão importante na sua vida e também pelo seu enorme esforço para vencer vários desafios nesses últimos anos.

Você nos orgulha muito pela pessoa que é, com tantos valores e qualidades...

Aprendemos muito com você!

Em breve iniciará um novo caminho com novos desafios e conquistas. Continuaremos juntos ao seu lado, te apoiando, torcendo pelo seu futuro brilhante e por uma vida cheia de alegrias!

Acredite nos seus sonhos, em você, nos seus potenciais e em Deus, com Ele tudo é possível.

Te admiramos e te amamos muito!

Com todo nosso amor, seu pai Yasson, sua mãe Alessandra e seu irmão Nikolas.

Daniel Cohen Meireles Daniel Love is not easy to put into words, especially parents love.

When we look at you now, we don’t just see an eighteen-year-

old man, we see you in all of your life’s stages at once and now… a young mature man.

As much as the parents raise a son, giving him life values and skills, so does a son raises his parents. You have taught us so many things as we have watched you grow. From you we have learned the power of a tender heart and strong character, the joy and humor in all moments, the concern and loyalty to others, the courage to face every challenge with strength, the intelligence and ability to accept life as it unfolds. You have so many skills that will serve you well in the years to come. You are really more prepared than you know!

You are the son every parent dreams to have. We could not be more thankful to God and to you and proud of the man you have become.

Senior year is a year of letting go, when parenthood becomes a complicated mixture of wanting to hold you back and encouraging you to move forward, for you to embrace this next phase of life.

Have fun, work hard and enjoy every single day, making your life choices always with integrity and responsibility.

We will be here, cheering for you forever, sharing your successes, supporting your challenges and watching “your flight”, but mainly, waiting every single day for you to land back to us. God bless you!

Love, Patricia e Irineu Sophia Mitropoulos Sophia, Nossos corações transbordam de orgulho e felicidade neste dia em que você conclui mais uma etapa acadêmica da sua vida.

Parabéns, meu amor!

Desde que nasceu você só nos deu alegrias, sempre se revelando uma filha exemplar, e cresceu para se tornar uma mulher de garra, forte e corajosa. Você não deixa a realização dos seus sonhos em outras mãos, e sempre lutou por aquilo que deseja. Seu coração é bom, generoso e digno de uma grande guerreira, e nós somos os pais mais afortunados do mundo.

Que o sucesso abençoe sempre os seus passos, que jamais lhe falte apoio, amizade e amor. Que você se mantenha honesta, leal e generosa, pois nada vale mais do que nossa integridade e nos mantermos fiéis aos nossos princípios.

O que realmente importa é que você siga o seu caminho e seja feliz, pois com sua felicidade e realização nós seremos os pais mais felizes do mundo.

Nós amamos você, filha “Melody” linda!

Eliana e Christos Mitropolulos

Mohamad Jamal Mourad Budi, filho como passou o tempo… lembro de ter te levado no primeiro dia de aula, agora olha onde você chegou. Orgulho não chega perto do que sinto em relação a você. Você me ensinou o verdadeiro significado da palavra amor. Faria tudo e muito mais para ver você feliz porque você merece tudo de melhor que a vida possa oferecer. Filho agora chegou a sua vez de agregar nesse mundo, quero que você seja um homem do bem, com valores. Quero estar perto de você nesta nova etapa da sua vida para ajudar você no que precisar, e aplaudir a cada conquista. Love you soo much! Com muito amor, Mama & Baba

Agora se encerra uma fase muito importante da sua vida, foram tantos anos nessa escola que você entrou pequenininha e sai uma mulher linda. Você cresceu, fez bons amigos, aprendeu e descobriu muitas coisas.

Todas essas coisas fazem parte da sua vida e contribuíram para você ser quem é hoje.

Preserve e cultive todos os seus amigos; alguns seguirão para sempre com você e outros seguirão outros caminhos.

Estamos orgulhosos e felizes por você estar se formando, sabemos que você está preparada para ser independente e poderá se adaptar em qualquer parte do mundo.

Te amo muito, Victor Helena Said Scomparim Pequena grande Helena, você cresceu! A pequena caçula nasceu protegida por toda família e cresceu uma menina alegre. Nestes anos surgiu a grande Helena, personalidade forte, determinada, com ideias definidas e uma visão madura sobre o mundo. Filha é difícil encontrar palavras para descrever o quão especial você se tornou. Para as próximas etapas da sua vida o que podemos desejar é que mantenha sua doce alegria e a força que só você é capaz. Você cresceu e provou saber cuidar de si mesma melhor que qualquer outra pessoa. Que Deus te

abençoe. Mom Dad. Helena, que experiência incrível ver você crescer e virar uma mulher linda, forte, e única. É estranho pensar em quão rápido tudo aconteceu, mas meu orgulho de ter uma irmã tão extraordinária como você é gigantesco.

Ba, do dia que eu dei um tapa na sua cara na maternidade até hoje, você tem sido a pessoa mais brilhante que eu conheço,você vai ser bem sucedida em qualquer coisa que você fizer, você puxou seu irmão. Tamo junto até o final.

Kenzo Takano Parabéns por esta importante fase que se conclui em sua vida, foi muito rápido e as lembranças são muitas, mas neste importante momento é muito gostoso poder dizer que você é o “filho que todo pai gostaria de ter”, estudioso, responsável, criativo, carinhoso, bondoso, companheiro, ético e justo são muitos adjetivos mas nenhum menos importante que outro, todas estas qualidades que o tornam um ser humano muito especial.

Nesta nova fase que se inicia conte comigo para estar sempre ao seu lado edificando este maravilhoso ser humano que você já é, e enfrentar os desafios que a vida irá lhe oferecer com muito otimismo, lembrando que é através dos desafios que crescemos.

Citei muitas das suas virtudes e lembre-se que elas o tornarão cada dia mais uma referência para os que te cercam, compartilhe estas virtudes e você só receberá bons fluídos, construirá um circulo de admiradores que o apoiarão onde você for.

Todo ser humano tem muitos sonhos, tê-lo como filho já é um deles que se realizou, e juntos poderemos realizar muitos outros inimagináveis!

Te amo filhão!

Julio Takano Kenzo, sério, maduro, inteligente, responsável, amigo e ético, muito ético, tantas qualidades e me orgulho muito disso.

Espero que trilhe um caminho de muito sucesso e felicidade, nas dificuldades haja com sabedoria e ouça sempre o seu coração e se alguma coisa der errado, levante, corrija e vá em frente. Conte sempre com o meu apoio, meu futuro colega de trabalho, ainda vamos discutir e conversar muito sobre arquitetura, acredito ter te influenciado um pouco na escolha da profissão, mas pode ter certeza você é muito talentoso. Um grande beijo te amo.

Usa tua persistência e determinação para teu crescimento espiritual, profissional, físico e emocional. Por fim, para que atinja o teu potencial, é importante ter equilíbrio em todas as áreas.

Te amamos e estaremos sempre ao teu lado.

Papi e Mima Sarah Rocha Vasconcellos Querida Sarah, Você sempre foi uma filha muito especial, corajosa, determinada e independente, conseguiu vencer muitos desafios, nos deu muitas alegrias e, como todo filho, também preocupações.

Agora você começa uma outra etapa da sua vida e se Deus quiser e com a sua determinação e coragem, terá também muito sucesso e trará muitas alegrias para você e sua família.

Te amamos muito.

Seus Pais.

Juliana Alves Vieira Filha amada e querida, estamos bastante orgulhosos de você, Juju. Esse término de estudo na Chapel foi uma coroação dos esforços que ela despendeu nesses 13 anos. Ainda nos lembramos de quando ela entrou na sala de aula pela primeira vez, nós ficamos apavorados, não sabíamos como nossa filha iria conseguir se comunicar em Inglês.

Mas tudo acabou bem, não só nesse seu primeiro ano como em todos os outros. Nunca tivemos que nos preocupar com os estudos da Juliana. Quando ela não estava bem, era sua iniciativa nos pedir auxilio. Nunca deixamos de dormir com medo de que ela não tivesse sucesso nos estudos, não passasse de ano ou algo neste sentido.

Também nos orgulhamos das suas amizades. Seus amigos e amigas são pessoas muito queridas por nós. Podemos até em um sentido figurado, dizer que fazem parte de nossa família.

Vamos torcer para que essas amizades continuem além da Chapel.

Enfim, o que podemos dizer para concluir é que se Deus nos desse a oportunidade de escolhermos como iríamos querer que fosse nossa filha, escolheríamos exatamente como a Juliana é. Te amamos muito, um AMOR INCONDICIONAL, que apenas quem teve a sorte de ser pai e mãe sabem.

Parabéns por mais uma etapa vencida!

Com muito amor, carinho e orgulho de você, Papai e Mamãe

Hoje nos sentimos felizes por ver o homem que você se tornou.

As lembranças são muitas, ainda podemos visualizar você bebê, sempre sorrindo, chamando-nos de Mima e Papi. Você sempre foi o mais cheio de energia e alegria. Liderava seus irmãos e estava sempre disposto a ajudar. Tímido, envolvente, persistente e até teimoso, mas sempre adorável. Neste momento no qual você completa essa etapa da tua educação, gostaríamos que lembrasse das sementes que plantamos em seu coração. De amar e respeitar seus semelhantes e, acima de tudo, a Deus. Não esqueça, nessa nova jornada que se inicia, do quanto te amamos desde o primeiro dia da tua vida e de que estaremos sempre prontos para te ajudar, aconselhar e apoiar.
