    Como te decian en Nicaragua, siempre vas a estar en mi corazon. Con tu sonrisa fuiste capaz de cambiar el mundo o por lo menos el mio. No tienes idea cuanto aprecio todo el tiempo que pase contigo porque cada segundo fue un privilegio, sabes que siempre te voy a querer con co... y que nadie va a ser capaz de llenar el vacio que haz dejado en cada uno de nosotros. - Juanjo

    Even though you are not with us

    physically; you are spiritually. A

    person with your charisma will al-

    ways be remembered in our sould,

    even though you are not by our side

    you are in our hearts. I hope that

    you are up there… in the sky party-

    ing and making everyone laugh as

    you did with us, we love and will

    always remember you

    To my class:

    There are some times in life when we wonder about

    everything; these times come when we have to leave our

    homes and learn to adapt to new surroundings, environ-

    ments and people. We are used to being in the same place,

    safe and cozy; yet we are now faced with a challenge: a

    change in our lives for something better… for something

    different and unexpected. Right now we graduate, we become

    members of something larger than our school, we become a

    part of the world and contributors to society. For some, this

    might come as something really difficult, while for others it

    will be something natural and easy. It is during these times

    that we, as a class must never forget who we are or

    where we come from. Remember always that we were, are,

    and forever will be part of the 2011 Marista

    Senior Class and that, for better or worse

    it has molded us into who we are. We must

    thank the school, thank the teachers, thank

    the brothers, our parents and ourselves:

    for we are now the class that changed the

    world.

    Dear Class of 2011,

    Time goes by so fast especially when you are having FUN!!!!! There is nothing like

    being a SENIOR. We have had our ups and downs, but that is over now. Your

    plastic bubble just exploded and it is time to move on. You will no longer hear:

    “Print and Submit on R Campus.” I know how much you loved that site. It sure

    kept you on your toes. Just when we got the hang of it, bang, it started acting

    up again!!!

    “Read and follow the instructions.”

    “Your next GEO is for….”

    “There must be more money; there must be more money….”

    “You need a real haircut.”

    “Late again!!!!”

    “Hand in your next chapter for the Senior Memory book, every Friday by 7:30

    SENIOR MEMORY SCRAPBOOK

    In spite of all the work you had to do especially my English AP group, my main

    intention was to prepare you for the next stage in your life. You might have

    struggled here nevertheless, when you see what you are up against, you are go-

    ing to finally realize why I was asking for so much. I‟m sure you are going to feel

    very proud of yourself for being so well prepared. My great satisfaction is when

    you come back and say thank-you!!! This is what really counts, because in the

    meantime it is a love -hate -relationship.

    As the class moderator, I can really say I enjoyed working with the class. There

    are some very special people who made things happen in a very special way.

    You gave your all, even though you did not have a position in the class direc-

    torate and I am really proud of you. That pep rally was sensational, all I did was

    supervise, and you did all the work. It is the first time in all my years moderating a

    class that I felt so at eased. Thanks to the tournament with all your work and

    sponsorships, you were able to raise the funds to make the most awaited event

    happen.

    Indeed, I don‟t want to close this letter without thanking my crew of the

    “Despedida Senior” for the amazing job they did with this special activity. I have

    never felt so emotional with the closing and that special tribute they gave me

    with all the Senior Classes I have moderated and my family. I put my heart in

    this, because I love what I do. This is one of the things that I will miss the most as I

    take on my new position. Thank you all for closing this chapter of my life in such

    a memorable way.

    Love you all,

    Nidia

    To my dear seniors,

    I can‟t begin to express what I feel

    writing this message to all of you. This end

    of school year has been very emotional to

    me. My son is graduating from eighth

    grade, so your graduation is sort of what I

    will be going through in exactly four years.

    During the graduation mass, I was seeing

    you and remembering when you were still

    my students. It all seems like yesterday. This

    year has gone by so fast that it makes this

    moment so difficult. I have very fond mem-

    ories of your time with me: the birthday wish

    of the social work, the rehearsals, the day

    to day in class, the senior proclamation with

    my presents (Yankee Stadium book with

    DVD and the autographed baseball), and

    the final bulletin board you made especial-

    ly for me. That bulletin board was made

    with a lot of love, and I will cherish it always.

    This year was filled with ups and downs for

    all of you. Twelfth grade isn‟t easy, but you

    survived. Now is the final moment: gradua-

    tion and prom. I am really proud of what

    you have accomplished and know that

    there are many great things to come. I

    wish you a lot of success in this new stage

    of your lives. Make the best of it. Carpe Di-

    em!! Show the world that you are capable

    of making a difference. God bless you all

    today and always. Daisy

    To my beloved 2011 seniors:

    I thank God for letting me

    share and be with you on your

    last year in Marista. I hope that

    you have enjoyed all of the activi-

    ties that we have organized with

    love and care. Believe me when I

    say that you

    have left a

    mark in my life,

    in the school

    and in my

    heart. I‟ve al-

    ways said that

    this class is real-

    ly special; that

    there is A LOT

    of talent and that each and every

    one of you will go far in life. Fight

    for your dreams, never give up.

    When you have

    faith in God and

    the Virgin Mary,

    everything can

    be achieved.

    I love you all, Miriam Sánchez

    My dear Seniors 2011:

    I could not be with you for some very special mo-

    ments of your graduation, which have saddened me

    a lot, but I have had you in my thoughts and my heart

    every single moment of these last days of school. I

    want you all to know how truly special your class is to

    me. You have been my first four years‟ group at

    school and it took me really by surprise the way we

    connected again. It was not easy for me… I still

    thought I could pamper you and treat you as my kids

    from Middle School and of course, it did not work. I

    was in a learning process and you, kiddos, being such

    a unique bunch of different personalities, made my

    life sometimes really a nightmare, which surprisingly,

    ended up being a wonderful dream at the end of the

    year. I even got to ignore your copying in class and

    the way you made me change subject during discus-

    sions and learned to deal with it with lots of patience

    and understanding… What was it you said? … My

    class was your oasis of peace, or something like that!

    I have learned from my mistakes with you and they

    were the bridge that took me from inexperience to

    wisdom. Each and every one of you is going to be

    missed… some more than others… but I am truly

    grateful for all your love, your friendship, your support,

    for the time we spent together during soccer games

    and club activities and the special bond that will al-

    ways connect me to you all. I always felt part of your lives and this, I will always cherish.

    Your energy, laughter and creativity were very contagious… They made my first years in

    high school very special. Remember to follow your heart, work as if there‟s not enough

    time for all you want to do in life, and strive to heal the world to make it a better place.

    Life is full of beauty when the heart is full of love so remember to always love yourself first

    and then love others. Your life will be always blessed and beautiful for doing so. I wish you

    the very best life has to offer and hope that you all really, really feel how special you are

    to me. Thanks again for being part of my life. Live, laugh and love always… Mrs. Ruthie

    Senior Song By: José López

    During Senior Year the class gets nostalgic at some points. They chose songs that

    are universal and call them theirs. This year, one song especially indicated that

    this was true. It is Journey‟s song about dreaming and believing that anything

    can be achieved if one works for it. Another song is very special to me, You‟ll be in my Heart

    from Phil Collins is basically a translation of our class‟ theme. Diferentes rutas tomaremos pero

    en nuestros corazones juntos seguiremos translates to: “Different routes we shall take, but we

    will be in each other‟s hearts”; this song was also very present in our Senior Farewell.

    Don't Stop Believin'

    - Journey

    Just a small town girl

    Living in a lonely world

    She took the midnight train going

    anywhere

    Just a city boy

    Born and raised in South Detroit

    He took the midnight train going

    anywhere

    A singer in a smoky room

    A smell of wine and cheap perfume

    For a smile they can share the night

    It goes on and on and on and on

    Strangers, waiting, up and down

    the boulevard

    Their shadows searching in the night

    Streetlight people, living just to find

    emotion

    Hiding somewhere in the night

    Working hard to get my fill

    Everybody wants a thrill

    Paying anything to roll the dice

    Just one more time

    Some will win, some will lose

    Some were born to sing the blues

    Oh the movie never ends

    It goes on and on and on and on

    Don't stop believing

    Hold on to that feeling

    Streetlight people

    You’ll be in my heart

    -Phil Collins

    Come stop your crying

    It will be all right

    Just take my hand

    Hold it tight

    I will protect you

    From all around you

    I will be here

    Don't you cry

    For one so small,

    You seem so strong

    My arms will hold you

    Keep you safe and warm

    This bond between us

    Can't be broken

    I will be here

    Don't you cry

    [Chorus]

    'Cause you'll be in my heart

    Yes, you'll be in my heart

    From this day on

    Now and forever more

    You'll be in my heart

    No matter what they say

    You'll be here in my heart, always

    Why can't they understand

    The way we feel?

    They just don't trust

    What they can't explain

    I know we're different but,

    Deep inside us

    We're not that different at all

    [Repeat Chorus]

    Don't listen to them

    'Cause what do they know?

    We need each other

    To have, to hold

    They'll see in time

    I know

    When destiny calls you

    You must be strong

    I may not be with you

    But you've got to hold on

    They'll see in time

    I know

    We'll show them together

    [Repeat Chorus]

    Oh, you'll be in my heart (You'll be

    here in my heart)

    No matter what they say (I'll be with

    you)

    You'll be here in my heart,

    I'll be there always

    Always

    I'll be with you

    I'll be there for you always

    Always and always

    Just look over your shoulder

    Just look over your shoulder

    Just look over your shoulder

    I'll be there always

    A Senior Poem

    By: Jesus Feliciano

    Thrust against the stage,

    I feel by some force bound

    to share something most profound.

    The crowd has gathered to hear

    and learn of my greatest fear.

    There is no room for deception,

    this is my turn at redemption.

    As my words begin to profess,

    my heart intends to confess.

    A man would surely be bend

    upon facing, alas, the end.

    But remember, forget and forgive,

    it has always been my belief.

    The end shall come across,

    it will laugh and grin at us.

    Yet resist any chance at defeat,

    this reality will surely be beat.

    Don’t lose hope, if you may,

    smile back as you go away.

    And now, the curtains fall,

    they close wide and tall,

    the lights slowly dim out,

    as I look eagerly about.

    It has all been pretty timely,

    we reach our dreaded finale.

    So with a smile, I know well,

    I kindly bid you all farewell.

    Perfect Senior Girl

    By: Jesús Feliciano and Gabriel Frattallone

    First and foremost, it should be made clear that the perfect senior girl is constituted by the sum

    of many enviable qualities possessed by the lovely female students of Marista’s Senior Class. Beginning

    from the toes up, the senior should be light on her feet and graceful, much like Natalia Rosado. She

    should also hold her ground firmly upon sturdy legs, as may be provided by Mónica Beauchamp. The

    only artistic way to flow smoothly into the following contours of her silhouette would be by employing

    Natasha Cordero’s hips. However, the face represents a very important feature in the perfect senior

    girl’s overall complexion. Andrea De Jesus’ face holds the ideal shape to frame the senior’s facial traits.

    The girl should possess a beautiful and ever-present smile, which she could borrow from Paola Gonza-

    lez. Her face would be adorned by lightly colored freckles, like Beila Trigo’s. Furthermore, her eyes

    might hold a glimpse of transcendence, such as Sara Fernández’s. The girl’s hair should resemble that

    of Camila Ortiz, lustrous and silky. The perfect senior shall be embodied in a skin tone very alike Maria

    Machicote’s. Her figure could emulate that of Mariela Fuentes and her height would try to measure

    up against Patricia Puig’s or, should a petite version be preffered, Camila Torres’ stature should suf-

    fice. The senior’s voice should be melodic and natural, like Marinieves del Valle’s, but with a slight and

    distinguishing accent, alike Veronica Montinho’s. These vocal chords could equally offer life to a

    charming laugh like Natalia Sepulveda’s. Nevertheless, as to never lose the inner child everyone holds

    within, the senior should be playful like Monica Fuste and innocent as Karla Lebron; but she must

    have an adventurous side comparative to Alexandra Figueroa's Moreover, the girl must have a great

    sense of humor, like Danielle Silverio, a somewhat carefree, happy-go-lucky, attitude, such as Eva del

    Valle, and Gabiela Morales’ spontaneity. Such qualities would be greatly enhanced with the addition of

    Patricia Garcia’s energy, Andrea Gonzalez’s livid spirits, and Francheska Nieves’ charismatic na-

    ture. The girl must also be herself and exhibit an advanced degree of authenticity and genuineness for

    which Sofia Garcia is known. Equilibrium must be conceived between the aforementioned traits and a

    certain sobriety, as Bianca Cortes possesses, and occasional silence that Isabella Rivera evinces dai-

    ly. The senior should not only think about herself, but, in considering others, act with sweetness, like

    Andrea Fernandez, and offer caring support, much like Marcia Fernandez does. However, little can

    be achieved in life without a deep-rooted faith, like the one Gabriela Bosque holds to heart, and an at-

    titude of calmness and serenity in the face of tempest, such as Natalia Morales’. All these diverse qual-

    ities would be efficiently wrapped inside the bounds of humility, which Nayomi Vazquez embodies. A

    perfect senior girl cannot be considered complete without some specific intellectual characteristics. Most

    importantly, in the question of intelligence itself, Yeilyn Colon would provide more than enough. Other

    important aspects of this theme include discipline, responsibility, dedication, and leadership, as seen in

    Gabriela Lanauze, Paloma Corujo, Michelle Cruz, and Desiree Nieves, respectively. A fondness for

    hard work would surely be integrated with the contribution of Avielle Suria. Last but not least, a lot can

    be accomplished with healthy ambition, such as that of Emiliette Morales. Meanwhile Gabriela San-

    to’s renowned athletic abilities would promote healthy living. Also, Mariela Fernandez’s artistic skills

    and creativeness could come in handy, much like Andrea Rivera’s devotion for the histrionic arts. From

    a similar standpoint, Gabriela Fontan’s fashion sense and Ana Fraile’s modeling abilities would com-

    plement each other greatly. An eco-friendly lifestyle, as could be provided by Frida Riollano comes in

    handy in times like these. None is more important than the bond of friendship, which is best evidenced

    by the long running relationship between Paula Soldevila and Paola Irizarry. The perfect senior girl

    is, in a nutshell, unique and no one is more unique than Fabiola Cestero. Conclusively, the perfect sen-

    ior girl is, and shall be the unison of many girls from our class.

    60.GRADUATE.

    $ To My Dearest Class of 2011:

    It has been an honor and privilege to serve you all

    this year; and on this my last formal address to you as Class

    President, I wish to convey my sincerest gratitude for the

    wonderful opportunity you allowed me. Thank you for en-

    trusting me with this position and for your unconditional

    support throughout all of this year‟s activities. Each one of

    you made this year an amazing and unforgettable one,

    for us and for everyone else; no one will forget the Class of

    2011.

    Now, we are all going our separate ways, embarking on a new jour-

    ney each on our own. Most of us will go on to be great professionals; we will

    meet new people, move to different places, and start our adult lives. But I

    am completely certain that this will not be a final goodbye. After so many

    years together, we – perhaps unintentionally – have become a great family;

    the bond between all of us as the Class of 1102, probably the best Class

    that has ever passed through Marista, is of the strongest kind. So , on this

    „see you later‟, I exhort you all to do whatever it is that brings you happiness,

    to carry honorable lives, and, above all, never forget this family.

    Also, I want each and every one of you to know that I will always be in

    the best disposition to help; you will always have in me a classmate and

    friend. Know that I am deeply in love with this Class and I will carry all of you

    in my heart for the rest of my life. I wish you all the best!

    Love,

    Your Presi and Friend, Andrea

    The Last Game

    by: Alejandro Sanjenís

    I am glad to know that after participat-

    ing for five years in our school's baseball

    team we became champions in my last

    year in our school. During a time of fright the team was united by all of the Seniors

    watching the game; the team felt like what it was: a team... not individuals playing a

    game, but a group fighting for honor and a chance to show what they were made of.

    We finally defeated the likes of Notre Dame and San Ignacio and established a new

    line of achievements at our school. I truly hope that the team continues to stay excel-

    lent and achieve everything we have in future years.

    the worth of a man is not shown by how many tears

    are shed when he passes but by the hearts and lives

    that his passing brings to the world... LOLO descansa

    en paz... yo solo se que has cambiado mi corazon y

    mi vida al igual q a muchos otros... tambien se que

    has dejado a la clase reflexionando con que hay

    que vivir nuestra vida al maximo y siempre siempre

    siempre apreciar los que tenemos a nuestro al-

    rededoren todo momento. Te doy gracias por esto..

    siempre estaras con nosotros. y como dice la can-

    cion de la despedida YOU'LL BE IN OUR HEARTS!!!

    ALLWAYS!!! -Michel Rachid

    Muchas veces tratamos de entender el porque de las cosas y la vida. En nuestra

    mente la mayoria de ellas no tienen razon y en ocasiones entendemos que

    tampoco hacen justicia, pero solo Dios conoce su plan y la razon de ser de los mo-

    mentos como estos que nos llenan de mucho dolor. Pienso que esta situacion nos ha

    unido a todos no importando las clases, religion, momentos de molestia de unos con

    otros, nos hemos unido como familia y no cualquier familia, sino la familia Marista

    una familia inquebrantable y que se apoya en todo momento. Pienso que Lolo ya

    se graduo antes que todos los de su clase y lo hizo con altos honores pues se graduo

    de la escuela mas dificil de pasar, la escuela de la vida. ¿Cuales fueron sus honores? La

    sinceridad con la que vivio, su corazon humilde listo al servicio de los demas, la victoria

    de un juego espectacular donde su aportacion fue la ficha vencedora. Lolo en tan

    corto tiempo vivio una vida burbujeante y la vivio al maximo, nunca dejo de ser el

    con sus ocurrencias. Ahora esta en su prom, junto a Dios Padre, Jesucristo, Maria y

    demas siervos de Dios celebrando en grande, el cielo se llena de jubilo con su llegada y

    solo existe regocijo. Cuando una flor muere, su semilla permanece y vuelve a germi-

    nar, asi mismo Lolo germina en los corazones de todos los que le amamos. Solo les digo

    que cuando alguien que amamos se convierte en una memoria, esta memoria se

    convierte en un gran tesoro y este tesoro (Lolo) es el que siempre guardaremos en

    nuestro corazon, en nuestra alma, en nuestro ser. Que Dios nos llene de paz y sea

    como un balsamo en nuestras vidas y sobre todo que llene de fortaleza a toda su

    familia.
