My Essay
One step closer for a sustainable dream green school
We started developing this project this year which consisted in creating a sustainable green dream school, created by Miss.Libia who started this project with the students that are now in 11th grade.
At first, we began giving ideas for the school, we had to plan some objectives and essential questions.Then Vanessa Trujillo and Nicolas Poveda, 11th graders gave us advice for the school, they talked about rain water reuse, solar panels and different ways for making a building sustainable. We explored the school, we took photos and we had different speeches with some experts such as the Minister of Environment that came to the school and talked about green roofs and different ways for making our school sustainable also, Luis Hernandez the environmental coordinator of the school guided us in our project. We had to do a power point presentation showing the description of our project, our objectives and all the process we did including the logo and our justification. We visited the Rochester School, one of the few schools who have the Leed Gold certification worldwide. They showed us their school, their sustainable buildings and how they took care of the planet by saving energy through solar panels and their different systems for reducing water, we learned how a real sustainable school is, finally we created a song explaining our school in a different way.
On the other hand, creating a sustainable school is not easy. This project requires time, creativity and dedication, In my opinion this project is just a step closer for what in the future would be a sustainable school, of course for achieving this goal there needs to be support and awareness from the students for making this dream possible in the future.
In conclusion, this project helped me realize having a sustainable school is not having beautiful buildings, is creating awareness among people, make them understand the meaning of sustainability. Big changes start from the smallest things such as reducing consumption, recycling and reusing at home. As has been said if we all contribute, we can not only have a better school but also we can have a better world.

Essential Questions
As part of the osdgs project we had to plan some essential questions
- Does your school help to reduce the contamination in the city?
- How does your school saves energy?
- In the school does the cafeteria use plastic?
- Does your school help to reduce the contamination in the city?
- How does your school saves energy?
- In the school does the cafeteria use plastic?
Ideas for the Sustainable Green Dream School
My ideas for the sustainable green dream school are:
No uniform, the electricity system in our school should be more sustainable, for example putting more windows in order to use the sunlight. Use another kind of glass for drinking in the cafeteria instead of using plastic, change the buses for new ones that consume less gas to reduce the polution in the city, recycle more and reduce the consume of water.
The origin of Mermaids
Once upon a time a girl named Lia was born, she had blue eyes and long curly hair. Her parents were adoptive , her real parents were the kings of the ocean but she didnt know, when Lia was born there was a disaster in the ocean she got lost, she survived and her adoptive parents found her in the beach when she was just a baby.Lia grew up, and now she lived near the ocean one day she went outside, she wanted to swim, but when she touched the water she heared a voice that said "Lia get in the water" she answered who are you? I'm Dan, your father,the ruler of the ocean. She was scared, what? My father? But my fathers live on the earth... Get in, she decided to get in the water, her hair started to turn blue and a fish tail started to appear, she screamed what is this! Her dad explained her, that she was a mermaid, later she met her mom, Alana and all her sisters.All the people were worried because a big problem was coming ahead, a group of bad mermaids were going to fight with the good mermaids, everyone Knew except Lia, her father Dan reunited all the creatures of the ocean and told them what he was planning, if the bad mermaids win the battle, all the peace and creatures of the ocean would disappear. Lia was very scared, but she was going to fight . The day arrived, all the different fish were prepared with different weapons. The bad mermaids arrived and started fighting with the good mermaids.The good mermaids were winning, but the captain of the bad mermaids, Carl was left, they had to kill him to win the battle. It was very difficult Carl was very strong and dangerous. Lia decided to go fight him she took a knife and ran to him, Carl also had a knife he tried to stab her but it was worthless, when Carl was about to stab her Lia stab him. He died. They all cheered, they were so happy. Now a days you can hear the mermaid singing but only if you believe in them.
