I would have been in a better economic position, and I would have had a better aducation. I would have been more intelligent, finally, I would have traveled to the great canyon.

If I had been born a member of the opposite sex,

-I could have had a mustache.

-I would have had belly when I had been 40 years old.

-I could have been called Roberto.

-I could have watched TV and drunk beer.

-I couldn't have put on dress, without looking gay.

By Nicolás Batana

If I had been a Rock n' Roll star, I wouldn't have stopped record cd's. At the same time I would have played in many concerts and I wouldn’t have been a thrifty person. Also I would have enjoyed the most time possible with my family and I would have taught all my virtues to my son or daughter. Finally I would have traveled around the world and I would have help poor people.

By Emiliano Negri

If I had been a soccer player, I woulnd't have finished the school, I would have been a fullback. Then I would have been a famous person and I would have been rich. Also I would have been a captain. Finally I wouldn't have been a singer.

THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE (a real story)

Alegre, Testoni and Mora

It was the first day that Benjamin met his girlfriend. Josefina was younger than him and they attended the same school. One day she invited him to her home. While Benjamin was going to Josefina’s home, a thief tried to rob him but he could escape from the man.

Finally he arrived to Josefina’s house. They began to kiss. Suddenly they heard a noise of a car. It was Josefina’s father who had come earlier from work. Benjamin got scared so he hid under the bed. When Josefina’s father came into the house, he went to the bathroom and Benjamin could run away.

When he was walking on the street a man on a motorbike spited at him. It wasn’t the best day of his life, but if Benjamin hadn’t lived all those things, he would have never met his lovely girlfriend.

Another “Foro” at school

Alegre, Nicolini, Romero, Testoni and Mora

 

October 9, 2008

San Antonio de Padua, Buenos Aires

 

On Tuesday we had a new “Foro”, but this time it was to commemorate October 12, “Día de la raza”.

First some students made a debate as an introduction. They commented opinions about the colonization. They were about ten students, five agreed and five disagreed.

Then we could give our opinion but only a few students talked. We might have participated more but nobody wanted to give their opinion.

The “Foro” was longer that the last one and it was very interesting because we talked about racial discrimination too. We also watched some videos about Colón and they gave a conclusion about the topic.
