EDUCAR PARA LA VIDA

Desde la fundación del Colegio Bilingüe ha sido una misión permanente el educar a nuestros alumnos con Calidad Humana y Compromiso Social. Es por ello que cada día damos nuestro mejor esfuerzo en la formación que requieren los futuros dirigentes de nuestro Departamento y de Colombia.

Educar a esta generación implica ver lo qué está sucediendo a nuestro alrededor y en el mundo, para darles las herramientas necesarias en aras de que ellos analicen y se esfuercen por dar soluciones a las diferentes problemáticas. Es importante que los padres de familia hagan parte de esa formación que los convierte en personas con capacidad de análisis crítico con bases sólidas para proponer y argumentar sus posiciones.

Para poder lograrlo hay que leer. Invito a leer a los padres y a los hijos de todas las edades. No existe otra forma de adquirir conocimiento. Quien no lee no analiza con argumentos verídicos, no sabe concretar ni tampoco redactar lo que quiere decir.

Mother ’s Day

Mothers are the best example of surrender and perseverance. Your children represent the effort of a lifetime and are the source of moments of pride that will last forever in your heart. During this special day, mothers are reminded for their important role in society in Colombia, it is a day full of happiness and joy.

This festivity here in Valledupar, specifically in our very own Colegio Bilingue, consisted of a ceremony in honor of the wonderful mothers we all have, an inspirational speech from Miss Maria Doris Villazon, and some beautiful words from the priest Julian praying for all the mothers throughout the world. The activity was very entertaining and when we had to give our presents to our mothers, it was a very special moment. The elementary students prepared a poem and it was very cute and sweet. Not only because they are small and cute babies, but because that little poem expressed all the feelings that they had to their mothers. It was a moment that nobody will likely forget. And as we are in the capital of vallenato, we couldn't miss the rhythm of this vallenato song. It was performed by a primary student that had a beautiful voice and a lot of love in his heart.

Mothers are the most important person in our lives, they are the women that gave their life, the women that understand you, the women that are always right, and you wonder why or how? It is a shame that not all people appreciate their mothers. Writing this article was very difficult because I had the task to describe a woman that means everything to all of us. But, the truth is that there are not enough words to describe the person that you love most. There are no words to describe the person that supports you and helps you even if she had a lot of things to do. She is the woman who moves the whole world for you. She can even travel to the other part of the world for you. Today you can make her, your mother, a happier person by saying only three little but very significant and powerful words "I love you". You might be thinking "really only that"? Yes, only that. Those words can make them very happy, and those words can express a lot of what you feel for that very important person.

Small, diverse Amerindian groups also inhabit the eastern extremities of the Colombian plains region, the south, and the western coastal jungles.

The mixture of Amerindian cultures, residing centuries ago on American soil, with the newly arrived Hispanic culture, (already a fusion of Moors, Gypsies and Iberian peoples), and later, with the introduction of Africans (brought as slaves to work on sugarcane plantations and mineral extraction) resulted in the rich ethnic diversity that exists throughout Latin America.

However, the published CFD studies of aspiration techniques and cerebral flow are scarce. Master system dynamics are governed by the Navier-Stokes equation and the mass conservation equation.

From those 200 girls, more than 20 girls have been released by the International Committee of the Red Cross, and others have escaped by themselves or have been rescued. But still, it was believed that 195 girls remained in captivity. Buhari, Nigeria´s president, has said that the government was in talks to secure the release of the remaining captives. After this, the terrorist group Boko Haram advanced in negotiations with the government by releasing 82 girls that were in captivity. This was a very happy and gratifying situation for the government, and to the family of these girls. The families have made global campaigns, launched with the objective of being listened to and allowing for the release of these Nigerian girls.

Our World The Earthquake By: Michelle Pinilla 9A

Right now I am sitting in the hall, By: Martin Elias Translated by: Antonio Sierra 9A Firstly, because I am feeling alone, She has like 180 pretenders I start thinking about how the world has changed Who call her and leave her bothered And I calmly let them go away And how the world is ending with the beautiful days. Because I am one of those who eat underneath We spend all the time dissimulating How can the violence be our peace? To avoid those who live murmuring But when it's time to see each other Or how can the death be our main piece of news? I kiss and touch her skin from top to bottom Even if they go by and offer her their motos It is very sad to see our world falling She knows that in her bed she already has her earthquake The one that puts her high and low with just a kiss And how it’s beginning is just a story, And with me is hatched because ...

Now we have the opportunity to change, Chorus I am the one who wants her The one that thrills her Before our world leads to its end. I am the one who wants her I am the one who wants her Today we see children fighting in wars II Using weapons to fight and giving their lives. They live like lions after the prey And she has them skating in dry The justice is just a lie Makes them believe that all this time she is single But I am the magnet that attracts her body That is used to manipulate us, When we cross glances, we spark Because she is my temptation and I am hers We need peace, a real peace And flirting, she throws me a dangerous smile And she wants to stay up all night Before our world just gives up. And even if they teach you the car does not give sight to another For his mind has not gone from changing his earthquake The one that goes up and down just with a kiss Now it is time to take our step, And with me is plotted because ...

So then, we can end with the violence and all the deaths. Chorus 13 THE CLIPPER Politics Valledupar, June 2017

Bilingual School Championship

Recently, one of the most beautiful experiences that any student could have had was to represent the school. Standing tall with the school name, celebrating our victories and strengths! This is what Copa Bilingue is all about. Every year we celebrate the bilingual school championship. This is where the students have the joy of choosing the sport they like best and interacting with students from other schools all around Colombia. This is a very nice experience because the little ones learn to win and lose; the big ones had fun through the tournament but especially we spent a pleasant familiar time.

This year had a participation of 80% of the students, something never before seen! Students volunteered to help extracurricular activities to make this event a success. We believe that we accomplished the expectations. On the other hand, the children and parents from other schools were very happy and grateful. They said that the school was very beautiful, that our attention was charming, and of course with one of the most beautiful opening act, in which Dr. Maria Doris Villazón (Administrative Director) spoke with the most and inspiring words for the audience.

We saw bilingue values that day; “Did you fall, get back up. Did you fail? Fight another round. Did you win, do it again. Just do not give up.”
