Poem: To My Junior Class
To My Junior Class
Fabiana Peña Feeney
Temporarily we reside in a
location unknown
Not wanting to be traced down.
Afraid of the brute reality that
undeniably lies ahead
Lies ahead of me, ahead of us.
We have stood together hand in
hand for thirteen years,
Or so it seems.
The day that we are forced to let
go rapidly
scurries its way to our present
Like a bike with no breaks
moving in a vertical manner
down a steep jagged mountain.
What should I be?
Who should I work hard to
become?
These questions become our
tongue twisters
As we have a hard time
verbalizing them
But they appear to be comfortably living
as one of our permanent
thoughts.
Am I good enough for this? How
far?
How far can my middle finger
reach when
I stretch out my arm; it feels like it could
just detach
from my shoulder and levitate
high up and
never stop rising. But is it
high enough?
Low enough that it means nothing
at all?
No one will take it seriously,
not even I, will believe my own finger?
And what happens when I fill in
the first miniature
bubble with that lead #2. What will happen
then?
Because of this bubble will my future in some
way
make a shift? Will it change?
Our lives have been reduced to a
series of questions.
Every sentence I write uncertainty
of whether a
question mark should go at the
end is present.
Some things I am sure of but more
that I am not?
I keep repeating “One test does
not define my life.”
but then again, how many do? At
the end of this fourteen-year
odyssey numbers will stand
firmly besides our names.
These numbers will be part of
who we are.
The reality is, my dear juniors,
that the numbers that have been
added, subtracted,
divided and multiplied through
the years in our school
will make a lot of decisions for us.
And that makes me uneasy…
someone, actually something; making
decisions for us.
But these numbers are ours.
We made them and added them and
everything in between.
I know that I have to assume responsibility
and I will do just that
but the nerves are talking, the uncertainty
and the million of questions on
my mind.
My dear junior class, I am
afraid
we are all rabbits in a forest full of wild
cats.
We have
nowhere to go just yet.
No one seems to understand us,
when we try to utter the wretched
tongue twisters
we work so hard to forget.

Friendship Games
After 3
arduous days of playing and cheering, Friendship Games are over. After many
years, it was finally our turn to host the games. Trying to overcome last
year’s defeat as overall champions to AISB, the Jaguar athletes were more than
motivated, they were hungry for victory. During the 3 days of competition, with
the help of our marvelous supporters and the great effort from our athletes we
were victorious. We won the overall champions cup with two first places in
soccer and two second places in volleyball, having more points than our
opponents. Way to go Jaguars!
