\u00abEsta peque\u00f1a introduccion es en espa\u00f1ol porque mi colega y yo hablamos espa\u00f1ol perfectamente. \u00bfCierto, Danielle? El resto sera en ingl\u00e9s, pero les promte nuevamente que no es porque Danielle no domine el espa\u00f1ol, \u00bfcierto Danielle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 A) Something that a lot of schools in the U.S. do are superlatives: things like \u201cmost likely to become president\u201d \u201cnicest car\u201d \u201cclass clown,\u201d yada yada yada. Danielle, what superlative did you get in high school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D) I was voted \u201cmost likely to be out of dress code.\u201d How about you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A) \u201cMeanest\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D) Well, I think we\u2019ve both changed a lot since high school. (If you think I dress terribly or that Arnie\u2019s really mean, please don\u2019t tell us) That shows that who people are in high school or how they are perceived doesn\u2019t always stick. But nevertheless, we give you the superlatives of the class of 2023: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new Bolivar mission statement emphasizes the crucial role creativity plays in the learning process and indeed in life. The following students were the most likely to inspire their teachers with their creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Isabela Figueredo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Arantza Arizpe (give them a chance to do something artsy and they\u2019ll hit it out of the park)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Alyne Corkidi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Alejandra Camacho<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you all made the move from H block to I block when you became seniors, I felt like I hardly saw most of you. However, a few friendly faces always passed by my classroom and made a point to check in and say hello. For that reason,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Federico Mora<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Vicente Duque and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Lucas Arroyave<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Carlos Jim\u00e9nez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are the most likely to brighten your day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These students are most likely to start a Fortune 500 company that can make them rich while giving back to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Felipe Garc\u00eda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Juan Jos\u00e9 Arellano<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mar\u00eda Antonia Fajardo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mart\u00edn Mej\u00eda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Juan Martin Cabal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Alejandro Rojas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I met you as a class, we were 100% on Zoom. So you can imagine that many of my first impressions of you were unique\u2026 these next students win the award of having the funniest zoom etiquette:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        It didn\u2019t seem to matter what time of day it was, Jeronimo Garcia always signed onto a class in a dark room, with a hood on, and the glow of the computer screen dimly illuminating his profile. It was like watching the transformation of Anikan Skywalker to Darth Vader in real-time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Alberto Ca\u00f1\u00f3n (video on)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Camilo Raga (golf course\u2026maybe loop in with Caicedo?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Joaqu\u00edn Caicedo (backgrounds)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This next group took up part-time residence in my classroom last year during break times. I think they were doing TikTok dances, but they were always jumping, falling, rolling, and laughing so hard I\u2019m not sure they ever got a finished video. So the students most likely to get injured in the making of a tik-tok video are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Sof\u00eda Arango<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mariana Montalvo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Karime Assis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mar\u00eda Alejandra Garc\u00eda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mariana Echeverri<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most likely to have killed Arnie Barnie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Juan Camilo Hurtado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Sebasti\u00e1n Medina<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Nicol\u00e1s G\u00f3mez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Gianluca Figueroa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Nicolas Isaacs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Esteban Salcedo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Natalia Hoyos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mariajos\u00e9 Garc\u00eda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mar\u00eda Paula Zafra and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mariana Agudelo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

are all students who had the courage and adventurous attitude to leave the familiar comforts of Colegio Bolivar and do an exchange semester. Therefore, they are the students most likely to dramatically quit their jobs, pack a bag, and travel the world as a digital nomad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most likely to talk a police officer out of giving them a fine. It might go something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siren Wails<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police officer: Do you know why you\u2019ve been pulled over?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driver: Do you know why I\u2019ve been pulled over?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police officer: You were speeding and you ran a red light?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driver: Define red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police Officer: It\u2019s a color and\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driver: Color? But what are you getting at?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police Officer: Er, nothing. Have a nice day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Daniel De Lima<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Jos\u00e9 Vallderuten<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Sebasti\u00e1n Quintero<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Alejandro Correa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Xiomara Covarrubias<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most respectful (Bolivar values)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Antonio Mej\u00eda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Andrea Arias<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Daniela Garc\u00eda Sosa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mart\u00edn Cort\u00e9s\u2019 (My C block group\u2026poem)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Sara Camacho<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, Joe, I mean Dr. Nagy, can we get these seniors all 7 pins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the hustle and bustle of everything on a high schooler\u2019s to-do list – homework, sports, SAT, college applications – This next group of students was able to zoom out and see the big picture. They all contributed to the community in a meaningful way and exemplified the Bolivar value of social commitment. Max Tanner & Nicolas Arango for their work starting the STEM club<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Tom\u00e1s Jaramillo for all his dedication to the Bolivar Garden and Don Simon Coffee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mar\u00eda Alejandra Casta\u00f1eda & Sof\u00eda Besalel for the app they created to support parents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mart\u00edn Rojas for his work with NHS and 1,000 other things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For all the meaningful projects you created and dedicated yourselves to, you are the most likely to start a world-changing non-profit organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These students offered us wonderful moments of joy as student-athletes and are thus the most likely to have us standing in line for an autograph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Felipe Cabal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Juan Gabriel Borrero<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mar\u00eda Antonia Cardona<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Samuel Henao<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Samuel Pacheco<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Samuel Borrero<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mar\u00eda Del Mar Lozano<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Gabriela Betancur<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their time here at Colegio Bolivar,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Sof\u00eda Barrios<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Ana Sof\u00eda Clavijo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Camila G\u00f3mez and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Anabella Losada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Went against the status quo and created the school\u2019s first Gender-Sexuality Alliance. Introducing a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community here at Colegio Bolivar took ambition, courage, and perseverance. For this, they are the students deemed the most inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best negotiators (MUN)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Nicol\u00e1s Ossma<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mart\u00edn Rojas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Natan Kadoch<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my classes, we had many discussions regarding controversial topics. In these conversations, things sometimes got heated and tense, and when that happened, there were a few students who impressed me over and over again with their ability to remain calm, collected, and rational. They made people feel heard while also tactfully expressing themselves. Their ability to remain true to themselves exemplifies the Bolivar value of integrity, which is represented by a whale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our website, it says the whale is \u201can indispensable animal, which silently helps maintain the balance of our planetary ecosystem.\u201dIn light of their unwavering integrity, this group is the most likely to have been a whale in a past life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Isabela Mej\u00eda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Laura Bustamante<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Sof\u00eda Ram\u00edrez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This list of seniors is the most likely to be our therapist in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Luisa Buitrago (Pam)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Sof\u00eda Villalobos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Isabela Hurtado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Ana Sof\u00eda Chala<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Juliana Velasco<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Dana Lukauskis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Mar\u00eda Camila Vargas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Sof\u00eda Besalel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a 10th-grade advisory after returning from Christmas vacation, I asked students to tell two truths and 1 lie about what they did over the break. In her list, Dani Gonzalez listed \u201cI went swimming in the pool\u201d as one of her options. That seemed probable to me, so I guessed that. Everyone immediately started laughing and said she was like a cat, she hated the pool. So the least likely to be found swimming in the pool is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf        Daniela Gonz\u00e1lez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outro<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about these big changes is that you don\u2019t have to be who you were for the last 12 years. You have this opportunity now to become nicer or start to dress better, for example. We are always developing, which doesn\u2019t stop after high school or college. We\u2019re in this constant state of improvement and refining – emphasizing our good qualities and working on our not-so-great ones. Wherever you go and whoever you become, we hope that you stay true to your Bolivar values and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Thank you Seniors 2023 for the great memories!\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
