“Never think that you know everything. There is always more to learn and every day we get to know something new.” - Pelé
When given the task of making a World Cup themed yearbook, we knew that it had to be special. This yearbook was produced by the Chapel community, for the Chapel community. The sense of unity, family and fellowship brought by the World Cup are values that we cherish here at Chapel. Values which we, in the Publications group, strove to showcase with the 2018 yearbook.
We sought to properly represent Chapel’s sports teams. Teams that we believe to be quintessential to Chapel and our school spirit. After going through tons of ideas, scrapping some and considering others, we finally knew what we had to do. The World Cup albums are something all students, especially our athletes, hold dear, therefore there’d be no better way to do our teams justice than giving our athletes their very own sticker album. The sticker album features Chapel’s own stars. We knew that this was an extremely ambitious project, and was going to take a lot of effort, dedication and focus. In the end, we are immensely satisfied with the final product. We truly believe that we accomplished our goal and our efforts have paid off.
We on the Publications Team hope you enjoy this yearbook as much as we enjoyed producing it!

Preschool I
According to FIFA, the 2010 World Cup was “the world’s most widely viewed sporting event”. During this tournament, 2 billion people, or about 29% of the world, sat down to watch more than 30 minutes of the Cup. Also, almost 3.2 billion people worldwide, roughly 46% of the world’s population, watched more than one minute of the event. Incredible!
Of the 19 FIFA World Cup tournaments held so far, excluding the 2014 tournament in Brazil, a European team has appeared in all but two of the final matches. Of the 17 final matches that they’ve appeared in, European teams have won 58.8% of the games.
Preschool I
Contrary to what it may seem, and different from other global events such as the Olympics, the World Cup stadiums are usually widely spread out across the host country.
As an example, the twelve stadiums of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil were located as far as 1,997 miles apart. The almost 2,000 mile journey from Porto Alegre to Fortaleza took the teams roughly five and a half hours to get there by plane.
Preschool I
Brazil and Italy have a combined total of 9-World-Cup title achievements. Brazil has won the most titles with 5 wins, ranging from 1958 to 2002.
Brazil has appeared in every World Cup since its inception back in 1930. Italy has taken 4 titles home, making them the second most victorious country. Their wins range from 1934 to 2006. Germany comes in third with 3 wins, followed by Argentina and Uruguay with 2 wins a piece.
Preschool II
Russian striker Oleg Salenko holds the record for most goals scored in a single World Cup match. In 1994 during a group game versus Cameroon, Salenko knocked in five goals. His 5 goals helped Russia comfortably win the match at 6:1.
French striker Just “Justo” Fontaine claims the record for most goals scored in a single World Cup tournament. He knocked in an unbelievable 13 goals in just 6 games played.
Preschool II
Brazilian “phenomenon” Ronaldo and Germany’s Miraslov Klose jointly hold the record for most goals scored in multiple World Cup tournaments. Both players have managed to slip 15 goals past the keeper.
Ronaldo, who is also one of the only three players to win the FIFA World Player of the Year three or more times, was able to achieve the record a little more quickly. It took him 19 matches in 3 World Cup tournaments while it took Klose 20 matches in 4 different tournaments.
Preschool II
In the 2002 World Cup, Turkey’s Hakan Sukur scored a goal in just 11 seconds. The goal helped the Turks defeat South Korea 3:2 and finish the tournament in 3rd place. At an unbelievable 11 seconds, Sukur holds the record for fastest goal scored in a World Cup match.
Uruguayan defender Jose Batista holds the proud record of the fastest red card in the history of the World Cup. He was sent off just 56 seconds into the match after he committed a high studded slide tackle to the back of the legs of Scottish midfielder Gordon Strachan.
Kindergarten
32 teams take part in the World Cup. The host automatically gets entry and 31 other teams have to battle it out in qualifying matches three years before the event.
There are eight groups of four teams each in the World Cup. Each group’s top 2 teams go through to the second round. Teams are eliminated in this manner in successive rounds until the final match.
Kindergarten
The Golden Ball award is presented to the best player at each FIFA World Cup finals, with a shortlist drawn up by the FIFA technical committee and the winner voted for by representatives of the media.
Brazil’s 2014 World Cup was the first time goal line technology was used. The mascot, Fuleco, was inspired on the endangered Brazilian three banded armadillo. The official ball, named Brazuca, represented pride in the Brazilian way of life.
Kindergarten
Brazil has won the highest amount of World Cup titles: 5. However, they are the only ones to have never won the Cup when hosting. They are the only country to have appeared in every edition of the FIFA World Cup, from 1930 to 2018.
Hungary takes the prize for most goals scored by a team in a single World Cup match. In 1982, they scored 10 goals to beat El Salvador in a group game 10:1.

made history by scoring the first goal in the very first World Cup match held in Uruguay in 1930.
However, Lucien Laurent was only confirmed to be the first scorer after the settlement of a dispute which claimend that America’s Bart McGee had been the first.
First Grade
In 1950, India qualified for the World Cup in Brazil. However, they could not attend the big event as they were accustomed to playing barefoot, and FIFA requires all players to wear shoes during matches.
In the World Cup held in 1974, Chile’s Carlos Caszely was sent off the field after being given a red card. The referee’s decision was said to be controversial, though. Caszely became the first player to be ejected in this manner.
First Grade
The youngest player to play in a FIFA World Cup at the age of 17 years and 41 days was a player named Norman Whiteside.
Roger Milla from Cameroon is known to be the oldest player to participate in a World Cup match. This man was responsible for leading his country in the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
Second Grade
the
While Meazza was about to kick, his shorts fell down. Despite this wardrobe malfunction, he picked up his shorts, and made the goal past the goalkeeper who was still laughing. This pushed Italy to the finals.
Second Grade
In 1986, FIFA banned shirt swapping because they did not want players being bare chested on the field.
The famous song entitled “Coup de Boule” (“Headbutt”), was inspired by what France’s Zinedine Zindane did during the World Cup final in 2006. He butted Italy’s Marco Materazzi in the chest with his head.
Third Grade
After a long, four-decade dry spell, that started in the 1950s, Team USA qualified for the 1990 World Cup Finals. They have qualified for every tournament since, making it to the quarterfinals in the 2002 tournament which was hosted jointly by Japan and South Korea.
The Italian Vice President of FIFA, Ottorino Barassi, hid the World Cup Trophy under his bed during World War II. Concerned it would be stolen by Nazis during wartime, the Italian sports official smuggled the trophy from a bank in Rome and safely stored it under his bed for most of the 1940s.
Third Grade
While the U.S.A. has never brought home the men’s FIFA cup, team U.S.A. won the first-ever FIFA Women’s World Cup in 1991, a feat repeated to great fanfare in 1999 with Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain leading the team.
The first-ever World Cup Finals event, held in 1930 and hosted by Uruguay, resulted in Team USA’s best showing. Coached by Jack Coll and led by goalkeeper Jimmy Douglas and Captain Tom Florie, the team stunned the word with 3-0 victories over both Belgium and Paraguay at Parque Central Stadium in Montevideo. This propelled the team to the semi-finals but they lost to soccer powerhouse Argentina.
Fourth Grade
In 1974, Team Zaire tried to take home a complimentary BMW team bus by driving it out of Germany. The team didn’t get very far. The bus was reclaimed by the police before the team left West German territory.
The 1950 World Cup winner is the only one not to have been decided in a knock-out final. Instead, FIFA experimented with a round-robin format in which the final four teams competed. Uruguay was crowned champion.
Fourth Grade
At the World Cup of 1990, each UAE player who scored a goal was promised a Rolls Royce. The relatively inexperienced team had little chance for global success, but managed to score a collective two goals before being knocked out of the finals in three consecutive games.
It is unclear, however, whether the players who scored the goals, Ismail Mubarak and Thani Jumaa, were awarded the shiny new ultra-luxury automobiles promised by prominent statesman Sheik Mohamed.
Fifth Grade
Qatar plans to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to host the World Cup in 2022. The budget allocated by the rich Gulf state totals more than 15 times what Brazil spent in 2014 and 60 times what was spent by South Africa in 2010.
Most of this mega budget will be spent on new stadiums and other infrastructure, but a significant chunk will go to cooling down the outdoor air-conditioned stadiums in the middle of the Arabian summer. The average high temperature in Qatar during the month of June, when the tournament is scheduled to be held, is over 100 degrees °F
Fifth Grade
In 2002 for the first time in the history of soccer, the World Cup was held in two different countries: South Korea and Japan.
Of all the countries that have appeared in the World Cup, Indonesia has played the least number of games – just one in 1938. Surprisingly, Mexico has the most World Cup losses (25), though they also have 14 wins and 14 ties.
Sixth Grade
Since ‘World Cup Willie’ the lion in 1966, each FIFA World Cup has had a mascot. These range from a Spanish orange, a Mexican jalapeno pepper to a Brazilian three-banded armadillo in Brazil’s 2014 World Cup
The next Mascot in the 2018 World Cup in Russia will be a wolf called ‘Zabivaka’. It was picked by voters via the internet.
Sixth Grade
32 teams from all over the world will be part of the 2018 World Cup in Russia and there is a specific number of teams representing each continent. There will be 14 European, 5 African, 4 Asian, 4 South American and 3 North American countries that will take part in the 2018 World Cup next year. The remaining two spots are left for countries to win in the play-offs.

During the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, FIFA will introduce a system where match observes monitor behavior. The observers will be trained to spot incidents of discrimination and report them to FIFA, which may then impose disciplinary sanctions on the countries involved. The project was recommended by the FIFA anti-discrimination taskforce and is being implemented in collaboration with the European anti-discrimination organization called Fare.
Host country Russia which has been heavily criticized when it comes to racism and discrimination, is also facing the issue in soccer. Some 200 racist incidents were committed by Russian fans between 2012 and 2014 according to a report by the Sova Center, a Moscowbased racism-monitoring group.
On March 12th, 2015, which was the first day of the 2018 World Cup qualifications, a team was expelled by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee from the qualification process.

You should not give up unless you are forced to give up.”

I don’t know how I’m going to survive without you both each step of the way: without our Saturday Night Lives and our Wednesday night dinners but I sure hope that the tradition won’t die when I’m not around. I wish to be half the parents that you guys are; you show me true love and true happiness. I love you both and moving will mean leaving a piece of my heart behind.

Pais: Primeiramente queria agradece-los pela maravilhosa formação que eu tive, eu sei que não é fácil bancar a escola e ainda ouvir eu reclamar tanto dela, aprecio muito o fato que vocês me aguentam depois de um dia difícil.O orgulho que tenho de ser filho de ambos vocês é inimaginável, meu pai um médico A+ que acabo de ser homenageado e minha mãe, uma incrível professora da USP, os dois sempre me ajudaram embora não seja fácil, sempre estiveram lá para me apoiar e me ajudar a crescer. Espero que algum dia possa retribuir tudo que fizeram por mim, e também espero que embora não pareça eu realmente sou muito grato por ter os melhores pais do mundo. Amo muito vocês. JVC: Sei que talvez nunca tenha percebido, mas eu me espelho muito em você sempre quis ser tão inteligente e ao mesmo tempo tão divertido como você.Sei que a gente não parece ser muito próximo, mas é possível perceber que nesse último ano nós nos aproximamos muito e agora finalmente vejo nós não só como irmãos, mas como melhores amigos. Eu tenho um orgulho absurdo de você, quando você entrou na GV, talvez não tenha percebido, mas quis gritar para todo mundo que meu irmão conseguiu, havia entrado na faculdade de primeira! Ai sim quis falar para todos, esse cara ai é meu irmão, ele é melhor que eu é melhor que todos. Sempre espero chegar aos seus pés. Obrigado por ser meu irmão, sempre continue do jeito que você é.

Thank you for standing by my side every day. Ceva: Thanks for the memories that I have of you at all the parties, hope to continue seeing you at KOI!

Aap dunya ki sab se chillest moms hein. Jitna aap ke kahne se pyaar kartee hoon, utna aap ko kartee hoon.

You’d come back home from work at 10 pm, completely beaten down, yet still chose to give me canyaan and chegee. You’re a great father, and my role model. I love you. Thank you for existing (and also considering me your favourite kid...sssh, we all know it’s true). Zain: Mein tho Iqra hoon. Thanks for creating a remix dedicated to my childhood misgivings! Zain, I feel more like your little brother than your little sister. You’re protective, caring, aggravating, hilarious, intellectual, cynical, start sentences with the phrase, “I’m sorry, but your generation is so…”: Thanks for kicking my head when I was a baby: it explains A LOT. Love you, mate. Keep rockin’ the Les Paul. Babu: Ever since I was little, I have idealized you. To me, you’ve been a prodigious talent. Even though you may not believe in yourself many times, I believe in you. Your kindness hides within your sarcastic remarks. I know of the beautiful colours which paint your vitality as a human being. Don’t be rattled by the diminuendo of all the background noise. As a 3-year old Iqra once questioned: han tho? Rebecca: *A wild Poetuc/Q3-Q1 appears*: From the elevator incident, zinger burgers which are magnificent, tears and anxiety which are so insolent, tragedy and comedy which swirl into our daily instrument, Key and Peele-inspired vocabulary which is not so articulate, hopeless dreams by pools which are the usual predicament, 24 hour-long calls which are so meme-filled; I love you, that is no coincidence. But, for real: you’re the bestest of best friends and my sister. Thank you for accompanying me through all that we have been through and for the years to come. Bia: Since 4th grade, I’ve thought: “Wow, this girl is so nice.” You’ve always been naturally kind to everyone. You’re a welcoming person and you make everyone feel at home around you. Malu: From your actually meaningful artwork, powerful ballet facial expressions and movements, and your adamant loyalty to your family, I admire you so much. Keep potatin’, fam. Julia: You’re so adorable! Do you remember when I gave you a tour of the school in 5th grade? Thank you for being so warm! I’ll miss you. Arthur: Spread the dank memes. Thanks for hitting me with an orange while I was wearing a shirt that said, “Get your orange on!” It truly made the Gods of Irony proud. HistorianSquad: WHAT HAPPENED HERE GUYS?! #paper2funtimes #neverforgetIAtime2k17 Ms. Sollero: You’re my friend just as much as my teacher. You are the first person I have met who, without even knowing me, chose to help me for hours and hours after class with Math. Before I had you as a Math teacher, I hated math. Now, I love math! I’ll miss talking about random things and enjoying the classes you teach so passionately. Words cannot describe how dear you are to me. Mr. Murphy: You are a rare gem of a teacher and inspire us all. Thank you so much for everything. Ms. Paladini: You’re an exemplary teacher and person. I remember once you told us that to teach, you really need to have a, “calling for it.” You fit that description perfectly and your “double life” is truly inspiring.

Seu suporte moral me incentivou nas horas em que eu estava a ponto de desistir,eu te amo muito! Papi: Eu só quero te agradecer por tudo que você já fez por mim. Sua paciência e vontade de me ajudar é algo que eu espero ter com meus filhos. Você me transformou na pessoa forte que sou e eu te agradeço muito por isso. Você é alguém que eu sempre vou me espelhar, te amo. Lius: Você foi o melhor presente que a mamãe e o papai me deram. Vai ser estranho acordar e não ter que tirar você da cama ou chegar na sexta e não ter você pra pedir pizza e assistir filme juntas. Mais do que isso,vai ser difícil não ter minha companheira favorita para discutir, abraçar ou conversar. Continue sendo essa luz que você é na vida dos outros e daqui a alguns anos,eu quero te visitar em Londres e ficar com uma leve inveja de como todo dom artístico ficou concentrado em uma pessoa só.

Soph: You are one of the most spirited and wonderful people I have met. Your contagious laugh is always cheering me up. I feel like we’ve known each other for so long; just with an eye contact I know exactly what you’re thinking. I love you so much and will miss you. Orny: Huggable, and straight to the point. I really hope we continue to see each other because it will be impossible to find someone that has these qualities. I’m gonna miss the biggest procrastinator in the world!

I’ll always be one call away whenever you need me, and thank you for everything! Cou: Yes,you have never gone to my house; no,that doesn’t mean I love you any less!

Rebecca Kummer
Mama: Ich habe viel das ich dir sagen möchte, aber ich kann überhaupt nicht alles hier einpassen. Erstens, danke für alles, Mama. Du hast mir mehr gegeben, als ich verlangen konnte. Ich werde immer dankbar sein, dass du so fürsorglich und belastbar bist, wenn es darum ging, mich aufzuziehen und mir eine Ausbildung zu geben. Du bist die selbstloseste, mutigste und stärkste Person die ich kenne. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, diese letzten paar Jahre durchzugehen, ohne dich. Danke, dass du das Licht meines Tages bist und die Person die immer an meiner Seite steht! Wenn ich das nicht schon genug gesagt habe: Danke, und ich liebe dich viel zu sehr! Vó: Obrigada por tudo que você tem feito por mim. Sempre serei grata à você por ter cuidado de mim e por me fazer rir nos piores momentos. Te amo muito, Vovi! Luki: You’ve always (well, mostly) been a great brother to me, and I’m truly grateful for having someone as caring as you as a brother. I know that you’ve been away for most of the past couple of years, but whenever we did talk or see each other I always felt like you’ve had my back. Thank you for everything, bro!
Iqra: Fatima:February:29:2000:Justice4Adbread2k16: This was probably the hardest message I’ve had to write because there’s just so much I want to tell you, but I also don’t want to be cheesy. I think it goes without saying that you’re the best friend I’ve ever had. Actually, you’re more like a sister to me. You’re the main part of what makes Chapel so special to me, and I can’t thank you enough for all the good times you’ve given me. I would wish for you to have success from here on, but I think we both share this unspoken knowledge that out of the two of us, I’ll probably be the one knocking on your mansion door. I know that, because you’re the most hardworking and driven person, like, ever. Thank you for everything, Erica! *flies away to the shooting stars song* Malu: You’re always really fun to talk to, seriously. Every class we were together in (ahem, especially art) was always fun and enjoyable because of you! I wish you the best in Chicago, where I know you’ll grow to become an incredible artist in whatever field you fall in love with. Rebekkkkkk will miss you and will visit you there! Julia: You’re really fun to hang out with, especially in the mornings in the library where we’re dead from sleep deprivation. I remember you being my ambassador in my first day of school, and I can honestly say I’m super happy you continued being part of my all my other days at Chapel! Arthur: Or in other words, to my fellow zillionaire: In all seriousness, thanks for being so fun to talk to during our classes together. You’ve always made me laugh with your jokes, and I wish you an amazing time in the future! History/Bio crew: I think we all know what comes next: What happened here, guys? Mr. Rombaut: Again, I’m being predictable: More IA Times! But seriously, that aside, you’ve been a great History/World Religions teacher to have. I never quite found myself bored in any of your classes. Thank you for being such an awesome teacher! Ms. Sollero: I think it’s fair to say that I was pretty hopeless in Math when I got to Chapel (and frankly, I’m still not that great), but I know that I’ve improved a lot more since then, and I can attribute most of that to the support you’ve given me throughout my years here. I can say that despite all the integrals and quadratic equations, I really loved your classes. You’re awesome, Ms Sollero! Ms. Sylvia Almeida: Having art class has always been the highlight of my day. Although IB Art was anything but easy, I always felt supported and aided by you through each step of the process. Thank you for everything!

Ma: It is thanks to you that today I am able to look back at all of the moments I have lived and only care about the good ones since the bad ones have become lessons learned. You taught me that the most important things in life are not grades, test scores, etc. but knowledge, family, and friendship. Pa: Even though I may not say it a lot I really admire you. You are my inspiration in life and I wish someday I can be half the man you are. Ever since I can remember you have pushed me to do my best in everything I do because you knew I was capable of it. You made me notice that I shouldn’t leave things to the next day since there are moments in life that if you wait too long might slip away. Mate: My teacher for so many things: soccer, skateboarding, surfing. Whatever I have done I am sure you had an influence on how well I did it. You forced me to get out of bed and not waste time on stupid things and I am really grateful for that. Gus: It is impossible to put to words how much you have changed me. You bring happiness to my life everyday and it is thanks to you that I learned that that no matter what problem I go through there is always light in the end of the tunnel. Nico: Even though we may annoy each other everyday I know that I can count on you for anything. Ever since we were little you have not only been a brother but a friend that has always stood by my side. Lu: Pu, Chu, Lufi, etc. these names don’t represent a tenth of the history of our friendship. I can’t remember a time at Chapel without you by my side. We have grown up, shared adventures, and learned lessons together. Surfing, Punta, Guarujá, Box, Patagonia, these are only a small portion of our greatest moments. This is only the beginning bro! Manu: I’m gonna be honest with you cause you are my boy. I’m pretty sure we have so many inside jokes that someone could easily make a movie about them all. We have been friends ever since Monica School (Red Brick is nutella) and you have become like a brother to me. Whenever you need a helping hand know that you can count on me. Napes: YEAH! I have never had so many pointless discussions with someone in my life. But I don’t regret them because at the end of the day we don’t even care anymore and they just show how strong our friendship is. Davi: Lance Hill, the jokes, punches, etc. helped me get through Math and I will never forget them. But you still haven’t beaten me in a game of sk8. Santi, Joao, Liam: “Os Grandes” You guys have been like big brothers to me! Tuca: Ever since the day you walked into my 1st grade class we have been laughing together be it with memes, jokes, or lu’s words. Come visit us once in a while. Bomi: My DJ partner that is a lot more dedicated to music than me. You are one of the best speakers and improviser I have ever met and I am certain one day you will be successful because of it! Marcos: Even though you pretend like you don’t I am certain on the inside you love the jokes. Don’t ever change, there is a lot of good in you. Rod: The famous popcorn. We have been together since we were kids and our friendship has lasted ever since, hopefully this is not the end! André: We’ve been friends since we were little man, it is crazy how time flies and suddenly those two blonde kids who met in pre II are now graduating. You can count on me to be there if you need me to give you anymore pool lessons.Thanks for everything and i’m sure this is only the beginning! Thi e Couso: You are awesome! Good luck in the US. Tony & Fe: Best moments in the football pitch were shared with you guys! Ceva: One of the best humoured guys I know. Spanish class will forever be in my memory. Seniors: Life is full of struggles.

Você é a pessoa que eu mais admiro no mundo e tudo que eu quero é te deixar tão proud quanto eu sou de você. Te amo muito. Melhor companhia pra todo lugar (especialmente shows). Mamãe: Não sei como expressar a gratidão que tenho pelo seu esforço, de providenciar a melhor educação para mim durante todos esses anos. Sei que foi difícil, e agradeço muito por tudo. É graças a você que terei tantas oportunidades para ser quem eu quiser na minha vida, e reconheço isso. Mazinha: Você é família pra mim. Um dia, quero te deixar muito orgulhosa. Não sei quem eu seria sem você, te amo demais. Arthur: I love our spontaneous adventures in the most random places around the city. Can’t wait to explore Europe with you. Fast mean, tho. Thanks for putting up with my weirdness since 8th grade, when we became friends because of our obsession for Pokémon. As you said it yourself, if we weren’t weird we wouldn’t be best friends. Malu: I’m so happy we became such good friends, and I can’t wait to visit you in art school, where you’ll finally be free to be Maluzika. Just promise me that I won’t have takeover and make fun of Julia by myself. Thank you for the amazing memories and all the patience waiting for the sloth to eat (as well as being the sloth’s eating buddy). Will never forget the sauna dancing and singing with you, Dummie and Greasy. Julia: I love how close we became and how you’ll be staying in Brazil so that we can keep going to Nos Trilhos and all our cool hangouts right, Dummie? I’m waiting for our Sims marathon that will last at least 5 days. Again, thanks for the patience in waiting for the slow eater. Eric: our crazy nights out make me feel like I’m a character from Skins UK. I love how you’re completely non-judgemental – and even get proud – whenever I share all of my secret stories, or when you see them happening yourself. Your attempts to make me awkward in front of your cute friends have made me a more confident person, so thanks, and you’re welcome for the laughs. Lu: I really value our friendship, in which we can be completely open with each other about everything – even the things that make us hurt. Davi: My math and chem tutor, and lost partner in BSS. Good luck in college (not that you need it, you’re a genius) and in future dinner dates. Amanda, Bia V, Jade: Wish all of you stayed at Chapel, but I know we’ll be close forever. Teófilo lover (still can’t remember the name), Communist goat, and Jageih, thanks for the amazing memories. Couso: My sports partner since Kinder, when we were the only girls playing soccer. I’ll never forget the NRs with you (especially our 1st Big and the various bathroom stories). Orny: Thanks for all of the laughs, whether in Math HL where we’re both lost, or in the memories we had since pre-I (bathroom fights with Gabi Angelo, As Branquelas). Ju Tolda: Finally found someone who understands my love for Lana and Marina. Ju T: I’ll miss having someone calling me pizzadora every 2 seconds. So: One of the few people at Chapel who smiles at everyone in the halls (even at me, when I have my typical and unintentional poker face) – that’s how sweet you are! Ma & Gabi G: Some of the kindest people I know. Soccer, Futsal, Softball girls: Can’t express how much I’ll miss playing with all of you. Mr. Gonsalves & Mr. Kantor: I’ll miss your classes and jokes.

Sem vocês ao meu lado e sem seus conselhos e carinhos não seria nem metade da pessoa que sou hoje. Eu tenho orgulho de ser sua filha. Avós: Minha benção. Obrigada por sempre estarem ao meu lado e por sempre colocarem minha felicidade acima de tudo. Os momentos que passei com vocês é um mais especial que o outro e daria tudo para poder revivê-los. Amo vocês. Renatinho&San: Minha segunda casa e meus segundos pais. Amo vocês. Obrigada pelas risadas, histórias, noites ao meu lado e pelo carinho. Sou muito sortuda de ser sobrinha de vocês. Giu: Minha irmã desde o berço. Memórias e risadas melhores que as nossas não existem. Obrigada por todos esses anos ao meu lado. Te amo twin. Papuda Family: Amo cada uma de vocês. Melhor viagem da minha vida. Sophie: Forever is the word that represents us and our friendship. You know me better than I know myself, you are my second family and you are the one person that I feel the most comfortable with. I love you so much and one thing that I know for sure is that we will always have each other. Gabs: If I could go back to 5th grade and do everything again I would in a heartbeat. In my entire life I have never met someone whom I can trust in the way I trust you. One glance is all it takes for us to understand and comfort each other. Thank you for loving me even when you hated me, for always being able to put a smile on my face and for always, literally always, being there for me. Popo: The best part of our friendship are the laughters and if I could go back and relive all of them I would without thinking twice. You are an essential part of my life and I don’t know how I will get through the next few years without you by my side every day. I will never forget our stupid talks and all the amazing moments we spent together. I love you popo thank you for everything. Xu: Xuxubaa you know that you can count on me for everything and that I will always be there for you. I am incapable of imagining my life without you around. I will always be here to support you and yell at you whenever you say you can’t do something but that’s just because I love you and you know it. ZuGoszPau: Thank you for being there for me when I needed most. Amo vocês zugoszpauleras. Tchutchuri: I love you so much and I will miss walking through school with our arms around each other. Our endless talks are by far the best and you know that I feel comfortable telling you literally everything that comes across my mind. We’ve been through so much: crushes, mental breakdowns, TOK, more crushes, Paiols and if it meant that I could spend more time with you I would do it all over again, including TOK. Mahyra: Mahayraa thank you for being by my side all these years. Your company always makes any trip better from Paiol to Oxford to Snowmass, literally every trip. When we are together laughing is inevitable and that is what I love most about us. Izcarp: Chickk thank god that you left US and came back for me (sim foi só por mim). If you haven’t done that we wouldn’t be the friends we are today. I love you iz and I will miss not being with you everyday. Orny: You are the most uncoordinated, funny, and biggest procrastinator that I’ve ever known and this is why I love you. My days at Chapel wouldn’t be nearly as fun without you around. Te amo. Japa: I bug you because I love you and you know it. I will miss your brain and how it constantly ruins our stupid conversations. I hope you never stop being the nerdz that you are.

Obrigada por sempre estar lá quando eu preciso, por fazer de tudo para me ajudar (mesmo quando eu nao quero ajuda), love you. Dani: Possibly the one person who has made the greatest impact in my life and changed me the most in the last few years.

Wherever you go you’ll have a bright future ahead of you, one of which I hope to be part of because you’ve became one of my best friends, and I know that we’ll stick together no matter what, love you. Gabs & Jú: Best friends since before I can remember, I have no idea what would have been of me without you guys; Gabs: The only one who understands me simply by eye contact, Jú: we might as well be the same person, who knows; You guys are the only ones who make me laugh literally until I can’t breath. I love you guys so much, have no idea what I’ll do without you guys in college (Will miss u guys). Popo: Forever bus and party partner, will miss dancing with you until the end of the party, and your sarcastic comments and jokes that always lightens the mood. And just to make it clear, our cold heart competition is still on, guarantee I’ll win. I’ll miss you and our daily hugs ... the hugs specially. JuT: The one person who always convinces me to go out, a decision I never regret. I’ll miss having someone to hug anywhere, anytime, even if ‘people’ find us weird. Twins: will miss having my partners in crime to celebrate my, our***, birthday.

Isa: It’s been 15 years since we meet, and 15 years that we’ve been friends. Can’t believe that we are finally graduating! Will never forget all the memories we created throughout this 15 years, especially surviving Math together. GabiG: The lost one, my day wouldn’t be the same without the comments you do when you are lost, all of which makes me laugh so hard. Even though you are the only one who hasn’t yet being introduced to the dark side, one day I’ll still convince you to come visit it. Iz: Love being weird with you, part of what makes our friendship so special. Mah: Most contagious laugh for sure, can’t hear your laugh without laughing too. By far one of the best partners at every party!! CAROL: In so little time you conquered my heart, love you. Basket wouldn’t have been the same without you.

Mom & Dad: Thank you for everything you have done for me so far and supporting me through the recent tough decisions we had to make about my future. You are truly the best parents I could have ever asked for. You have worked hard to provide me with the best life I could possibly have, including educational opportunities and travel experiences I will never forget. Love you both to the moon and back. Erik: Being annoying is what you do best, but I know that we will always be there for eachother. You are the brother life gave me, but you are also the friend I know I will have for a lifetime. Love you to the moon and back. Oma: You are strongest person I know, and that is what inspires me everyday. I love our sleepover movie nights and our little adventures. Thank you for everything you do for me and Erik on a daily basis and I hope that we can go on more international adventures together in the future. Opa: I have no idea if you can somehow know what I am writing here to you, but know that I miss you. How I wish you could be here with me at such an important part of my life, but know I can only hope that are proud of me and the person I have become. I love you, and i will always be your herzipuppi (my adoring doll.) Grampy & Cecília: Thank you for the special moments we are able to spend together as a family and the love and support you have always shown me. Malu: We may be ending up in two completely different places after Chapel, and it will probably be like that for a long while, but know that our friendship made these past years truly special, and I only hope that we can maintain our bond throughout our lives. It is a must that we end up in the same nursing home, remembering my dummy moments, and our Disney duets. Arthur: You are the friend I can trust to always show up to “rolês,” even if we end up at the park or in Liberdade. You are the friend I can trust with secrets, even though you can’t say the same for me… The point is, you are one of my best friends, and I hope we stay that way once you move away. Isa: Sloth! I’ll miss our lunch conversations and you making fun of my dummy moments with everyone else. I am glad that we will still probably get to spend the next few years together. It’s only recently that we became good friends, but hopefully we can continue this friendship throughout the next challenging years of our lives. Laura: You are one of my oldest friends, and I’m glad we managed to get over our “seu cabelo é branco” days. Our time in Art class is the best, occasionally watching Freaks & Geeks and singing along to Disney Songs. Eric: I loved reconnecting after our Pueri days and now I hope we don’t make the same mistake and stay in touch. Iqra: Easily the funniest girl in our grade, you always know when to make people laugh and your humor brightens up our day everyday day. Rebecca: My early morning company, we suffer through our tiredness together. Remember me when you become the next revolutionary artist. Mr. Murphy: Even if you have been my official teacher for only a year, it seems like much longer than that. Not only have you been an exceptional teacher to me, you have advised me in many things even after I was no longer your student, and I will always be thankful for that. Ms. Sollero: Since I can remember, I was never good at math, but as soon as you became my teacher, that somehow turned things around, making the next few years the best I have ever been. So I thank you for your patience in teaching, and your caring attitude towards all students. Ms. Paladini: No carbs! Ms. Sylvia: Art class is by far the one I have the most fun, but I thank you for all the support you have given me on my project proposals and the opportunities to visit places like Inhotim.

Best Chapel Memory: All the BRAMUNs Plans after Chapel: College
Pai & Mãe: Depois de quatro anos de muita guerra, o sacrifício está finalmente retribuindo. Obrigado por me apoiarem em tudo e serem pais incríveis. Amo muito vocês.
Isa: Myrtle, words can’t describe how grateful I am for knowing you. We have our ups and downs, but I know that we’ll always have our 3AM laughs about bolus or how you meaned rapido me that one time. I anxiously await our next unplanned adventure. Pas: Aside from from hopefully awaiting the day João will learn how to record a Boomerang, I couldn’t be more grateful to have you as my brothers. King Bo has to go to the house. Tony: “Dddddddd”- whenever we didn’t talk in SC for a while. Anyways, having you as a friend for these past years was amazing. I know that I can always count on you for advice or whenever I spontaneously decide I want to go out and watch a movie. Power rangers=underrated. Davi: We’ll always be in sync (chemistry 100%), especially in the things that matter. I’m sure we’ll always *put right indicator on left palm* for any keeper of time or sister. Bia: I am grateful for knowing you. I hope we continue to do a share of our love for doggos, puppers, and R&M. I will never do a forever goodbye or a bamboozle on you. Julia: Hey, Jenny. Loved our spontaneous hangouts to LITERALLY anywhere. Loved even more how you put pressure on those that didn’t feel like going. Lady will always be a 10/10 doggo. Hugs to your mom too! Malu: All the joking from Math aside, knowing you was a *hint* killer experience. Also, even though I complain, know that I love how you randomly start dancing regardless of where you are. Know that I’ll be there whenever you need an Uber home. Laura: Even though I annoy you lots, I want you to know that your friendship is very important to me. Also, don’t get too mad with your cousin, she doesn’t have anything on you :). I’ll always keep the promises I’ve made to you. I hope that you keep them too. Felipe: Know that I’ll never stop ordering the little appetizers when I go out for sushi. RodNEY: *nasally* Oooo turn off the lights and the shower, it’s 3 AM! But, in all seriousness, I couldn’t be more grateful to have been paired with you that BRAMUN two years ago. If i hadn’t, I would’ve lost a great friend. Josh: Joshie! Take care of KBowl for me. Continue to be the most amazing guy I’ve ever met. Rebecca: Thanks for making jokes that were sometimes the highlight of my day. Gg Rebecca, gg indeed. Iqra: Hey, beacon of diversity. Thank you for all the help in class and the AMAZING jokes. Really, can’t emphasize how much I’m grateful for having known you. Ayyyy lipase. Dani: I loved our random chats during MUN trips. Know that you can always count on me whenever you need to talk. Ornella: I still don’t know exactly what happened in BRAMUN last year, but it’ll be a valuable memory of how quickly someone can get divorced. History: What happened here, guys? I was in the room at 9:07 and you had already started this and did not ask me any questions. Mr. Vaughan: Whether in Geography class or when enjoying that amazing 18-ounce steak in Montevideo, having you as my teacher and MUN advisor was a pleasure. Please know that your guidance throughout these past four years made a tremendous impact on who I am today. Truly, thank you for everything. Mr. Campbell: Thanks for the reality checks and the laughs in English and MUN. I’m sure you’ll continue to shape the young minds of many future generations of MUNers! Ms. Sollero: Thank you for all the support both as my Math teacher and KB coach. I hope you keep being so kind and understanding! Ms. Paladini: Thanks for keeping up with me despite all of my questions. I hope every teacher I ever have is as passionate about their subject as you are. Mr. Rombaut: Loved our chats about the most random subjects possible in History. Also, thanks for letting me know that there are rednecks in Canada. KBowl: I loved travelling and competing with you. Also, always remember to be prompted. 1812 overture all the way. MUN: Remember to make the best of the conferences you have left. Please, take care of Chapel’s MUN for me. Everyone that matters: Thanks for everything. You will not be forgotten.

Mãe: Gratidão é o sentimento que domina quando penso em você. Guerreira que conseguiu sozinha o que muitos pais não conseguem. Me deu amor, me deu força, me deu suporte, me deu a chance de ser quem eu sou, sem medo. Não sei o que seria sem você, meu porto seguro <3 Pola: Às vezes tento imaginar o que seria minha vida sem você, e chego a conclusão que eu não seria nada. Tento pensar em memórias para mencionar aqui que passei ao seu lado, e me lembro que minha vida é uma memória com você, e I wouldn’t have it any other way. love you pops. David: Thank you for staying by my side, supporting me and being the best stepfather anyone could ask for, I love you. Isa: você não escreveu pra mim na sua sp mas eu ainda te amo Isabola. Vem me visitar please? Chicken: Couldn’t ask for a better person. I miss you already, the accent talks, cheer discussions, parties “outtt”, and even sister fights. No wonder you’re such a chick #howdyjuju LOVE YOU. Ma: My biggest companion, all my weekends spent with you, having fun no matter what we’re doing. I don’t think I’ll ever find a friend like you. From parties to dinners, to sleepovers, we ALWAYS have fun. (I’ll come back to SP to have you be my doctor) I love you so so much. Gabs: I won’t be able to live without having you come to my house EVERY DAY. The first person who took me in as a friend, the hardest to say goodbye. You’re probably the person I laugh THE MOST with. (PS: stop taking jokes too far) + I will start picking up your phonecalls eventually. Xuba: My most loyal counselor, there for any problem I might face, and always there to support me in any decision. You helped me make pretty much all my decisions in high school, from “what should I text him?” to “what college should I apply to?” and my most precious decision was to have you as my closest friend. NEVER forget me xu?Nena: Hate having to say goodbye to you nenita. Always count on me, forever. We just understand each other on another level. I know destiny will unite us again, even if now we go to colleges in separate ends of the US, love ya (BSS pres que chama??). Sophs: probably one of the most special girls I know. You shed light wherever you go. Never stop having as much ambition as you have for our cheer ideas! And never stop complaining sophs, no matter what rapha says. Also, what the …? Orny: I hope you can learn to eventually turn things in on time. Also, what a package you got behind you huh? Love you. + how dare you steal the date of my birthday? Cevinha: There are no words to describe how thankful I am for having you in my life. For taking care of me when I needed it, for making me laugh so many times, and for being there for me, always. Please don’t forget me, cause I won’t forget you, ever. My highschool wouldn’t have been the same without you. Isinha L: This past semester we got to know each other so well, and I am forever grateful for your friendship. Know that you can count on me for everything. Don’t get into trouble miga, love you.

Thank you for always being there through everything, and making me laugh through it ALL. We’ll always be guilty of everything. Hated 4ever.

Mamis: Meu amor e gratidão nunca poderão ser colocados em palavras. Te amo mãe, por ser muito mais que uma mãe, uma amiga, conselheira, parceira de risadas e aventuras. Me sinto honrada de ter uma mãe que dedicou tudo, arriscou tudo, sacrificou tudo, por suas filhas. David: In very little time, you found your way to my heart. Thank you for everything, I will be forever thankful for all of the support I got from you over the years, love you loads! Jubileia: Boa noite. Boa noite. Boa noite. Booooa Noooite. Beijo, tchau, Brigadaaaa. OUT. Isabola: Te amo nene, você é essencial na minha vida, e só me traz felicidade. Xuba: The unmeasurable love I feel for you started 4 years ago, and will only end when you get sick of me Face Timing you every night. You are my porto seguro, making me laugh with just one look, but listening to me on my emotional nights. Our discussion of the universe over esfihas isn’t over yet. Gabsss: Taking jokes too far is your specialty, and I am honored to have been your partner in it for these past 4 years. Your happiness is overwhelming and inspiring, and I admire how true to yourself you are. Never stop having awkward encounters in the halls with certain people. Luli: It took me by surprise how meaningful you became to me in so little time, and I wouldn’t trade our friendship for the world. Thank you for saying what many can’t, protecting me, making me die of laughter, and helping me learn what real friendship is all about. I love you. Laranjeira: Our synchrony is compelling, and I am pretty sure you are my alma gemea. With me through everything, I couldn’t have asked for a friend who is more parceira. Also, I am pretty sure I was running that night. Sophie: In so little time, you became one of the most important people in my life. They say opposites attract, and I’m sure we are the living proof of that. I love you and your over thinking, complaining, candy loving way of being, never change. Iz: You are my chicken. Being idiots together is our specialty, but our true friendship relies on the constant support and honesty. Thank you for letting me practically live at your house, and always keeping me true to my values. Orny: Our hug says it all: we fit just right, we were made to laugh together, complain together, and simply be friends forever. Love you, thank you for being monga with me. Cou: You inspire me everyday to be the best version of myself, and I thank you for that. Everything we do is fun simply because it’s us, and I am thankful to have such a good advice giver in my life. Laura + Dani: High school wouldn’t have been the same without you. Love you SO much Guarana: I had guaranteed laughs with you, thanks for all the pizza, movies and truco nights. Thiago: I’m pretty sure you like me. Thank you for all of the parties and nights in Itu, although I still think your voice sounds like someone... I’ll miss you! Lu: I will miss our tranca sessions after school, your weird love for the song in Moana, but especially your big heart. One of the nicest guys I have ever met, I will miss you a lot! Manu: Although I am not your princess, I just want you to know you will always be special to me, and I will miss you a lot. Hopefully when I come visit you rethink my placement in your hierarchy. Tony: You constantly tell me I am very weird but I’ll still miss you a lot. Carolzita: In so little time you stole a piece of my heart! Your happiness inspires me, and please tell me when I leave if everything goes well with “him”. Love you and our looks in the halls.

Parents: I owe everything that I am to you. Words cannot express how grateful I am for the never-ending support and opportunities that you have given me. Podemos ter nossas briguinhas, e nossos desentendimentos, mas eu sei que não existe ninguém nesse mundo mais invested in me than you. Amo muito vocês! Nick: You are the funniest person that I know, and capable of so much. I can’t believe that soon we won’t be living together any longer, but don’t worry, I’LL be the one making you ramen when I come visit. Iza: It’s impossible to give justice to the almost 15 years that we have spent together, much less for the ones that I am sure will come. You are like a sister to me, and I know that this will remain for a long time. Cou: Opposites attract, we are proof of that. When we are together no one stands a chance (except maybe ASA or St. Paul’s, but I choose to ignore that). Orny: My personal therapist, thank you for helping me these past few years, with my crazy theories and never ending dilemmas. I know that one day you are going to do something great, because I’ve never seen someone be so fearless. Thiago: As I write this, I have no idea about where we’ll be for the next four years, but I know that I will always admire your dedication and confidence (though I might give you a hard time for it). Over time you have become a very important person in my life who will be impossible to forget. Omar: It is impossible to explain our friendship. But I know that no matter what you will always be there for me, and I for you. I hope you’ll still remember me once you are the all powerful ruler of the world. JuP: There aren’t many people who can make the most stupid things seem hilarious, I’m glad that I have met one of them. You probably can’t take this anymore after having read this in so many college essays but I cannot think of anyone whose perseverance I admire more. Gabi G: We are so different but always had a great time together. I hope you continue being the authentic, and honest person that I know. Mayara: I loved the time that we spent together as roommates and in the cruise, you are the best dancer and most stylish of us all (sorry Ju, I still love u). Ps: I guess I also like blue. Mel, Carol, Ro: I hope that you enjoy the next few years at Chapel or wherever you go to school, thank you for the best season, love you guys! Gi: You make everyone around you smile. Enjoy your last year at Chapel, take care of Stuco for us. Arthur S: I always laugh around you (as long as you don’t break anything of mine). You make MUN conferences the best, even if I am third wheeling with You Know Who. Tony: You’ve been a constant friend to me and I value it a lot, even if you insist on pointing out that I’m fat. Soph: I can’t even imagine Chapel without you, and your cute moments of rage. Paula: Hilarious, sweet (but misinterpreted), and a baller. Definitely the one who will order the pizzas. Do not forget our bet, (I think Ornella is winning). JuT: We have raised Jani for more than two years now, and as proud parents we must let our extended metaphor go. We share the best memories (and other things). Love you! Rod: You thought I was going to forget you? You have definitely made the last few years more interesting, thank you for that. Manu: I like you. But where are my grams? Ms. Sollero, Mr. Kuroiwa, Ms. Inglesi, Mr. Campbell, Ms. Baines, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Bell: You have been the best teachers, coaches, and advisors. I cannot thank you enough. Ms. Marta, Ms. Viola: I’m so grateful for the help and support that I have received, it has certainly helped me reach my limits. Chapel students: Good luck!

Goodbye Chapel, goodbye high school, goodbye dear new old friends and dearest teachers!
Another milestone! There were some tough years in many ways, but also great high school years. Now everybody knows how strong you and your colleagues are. There were so many good and bad times, and so many tough tasks to accomplish. You all have had it done!
Someday you’ll look back at these pages and think about the people and events that shaped your high school experience. But now it’s time for something new, and as your biggest fans, we can’t wait to see what happens next! We, your parents and brothers have watched in such a happiness and amazement as you’ve grown into the person you are today, and we are watching with a kind of a great anticipation to see what you become. We are sure that you are growing up to be such a wonderful person. We are so proud of you! Cause you are a so talented guy, a hard worker, and most importantly, a thoughtful and kind person. And you have come so far. And suddenly like as when we got out of a storm, it’s time to a new phase of your multicolored life, and you get to be the helmsman on it.
At this point I have a big question for you, will Mars be the limit? I am just kidding, but seriously kidding with ya. Seriously yet, we hope you are as proud of yourself as we are of you. We are proud of you for graduating high school, but I’m even more proud of you for growing up to be such an amazing person. The future is yours! Just take it!
Thiago Paiva Bittar
Muito Amado Filho, nada é trivial em você: intenso, inteligente, sagaz, determinado; um espírito livre, sempre empurrando os limites mais além...Onde quer que você vá, onde quer que esteja, você fará a diferença. Você nunca deixa algo como encontrou;
você é exigente, ambicioso, perspicaz. Acredite, você está preparado para encarar os desafios da vida, e com todo amor, desejo que você os enfrente com sabedoria e que conviva com o sucesso ou falhas, com honestidade, retidão e temperança. Tenho muito orgulho do homem que você se tornou, mas no meu coração sempre haverá lugar para “meu caçulinha bochechudo, de olhinhos meia-lua”. Realize seus sonhos, alcance suas metas, construa um mundo melhor. Que Deus o abençoe. Com amor, Mom
Querido Thiago, você terá uma história emocionante de vida. Sempre disposto e desbravar novos caminhos, direto nas palavras e firme nas ações você reúne todas as características daqueles que mudaram o mundo e fizeram diferença na humanidade. Siga em busca de novos desafios para enfrentálos sobre uma sólida base de conhecimento que você tão bem soube construir. Eu te amo muito. Tio Matos
Irmão, mesmo morando longe nos últimos 3 anos, me sinto parte da sua vida, suas conquistas e aspirações. Tenho muito orgulho de você. Sou seu irmão mais velho, mas você é uma pessoa tão incrível que aprendo com você todos os dias. Por serem tantas, é impossível identificar sua melhor característica, mas com certeza sua determinação e disciplina são exemplos pra mim. Irmão, você é e sempre será meu maior companheiro e meu melhor amigo. Vem logo para os EUA! Te amo. Bro Victor
Sophia Frances Bragaglia
Dear Sophia,
You have arrived at the threshold of another huge change in your life. Congratulations! May all of your hopes and dreams come true. We are so proud of all of your hard work and determination. We admire your persistence, organization, and unbeatable drive.
Since you were little, you brought laughter, joy, and excitement into our lives. Your smile and happiness was complimented by a sparkling personality and a desire to learn, grow, and succeed. We have had the joy to watch you blossom into an amazing individual.
Good luck on this new chapter in your story. Keep making good choices that add to and develop your character and enjoy every moment. We will miss your presence so much but are thrilled at new challenges and experiences that await you. Keep us in your hearts, as you will be in ours.
Love always, Mom and Dad
Izabella Daibert Carpenter
Izabella, on your first day at Chapel School in 1st grade you vehemently resisted staying -- you said that your heart was hurting too much and would probably break if we left you there for the school day. But Chapel has now become dear to that same heart, which will again be aching as you move on to new horizons at NYU and say goodbye to so many awesome friends and nurturing Chapel teachers. Many years ago, we dreamed together that our children would be better than us in every sense, achieve more than we have, and represent both Brazil and the United States as they went out into the world. You are
the realization of that dream and we are so grateful to you for all your hard work and studies to attain your full potential. We are grateful to Chapel for providing the caring environment for that to happen and for welcoming you back to the school so warmly when we moved back to Brazil. We are grateful for all the new “sisters” and “brothers” you added to our family, your chapel friends. And mostly we are grateful to God who made us your parents!
Luis Filipe Carrete
Lu, filho querido, Seu olhar doce e gentil nos conquista a cada dia e hoje somos muito orgulhosos pelo jovem adulto no qual se transformou, sempre questionando nossas opiniões, nos faz rever conceitos e com isso evoluímos, crescemos. Admiramos seu caráter, capaz de se sensibilizar com o sofrimento alheio e ao mesmo tempo de uma imensa força resistente às adversidades, incompreensões e decepções, o que nos faz ter certeza de que está pronto para seguir para a próxima fase de sua vida. Estamos muito orgulhosos por seu trabalho, sua dedicação, todo o seu desenvolvimento intelectual e emocional nestes 15 anos de Chapel. Tenha certeza que pode contar com nosso apoio nas suas batalhas e com nossa celebração nas suas vitórias! Obrigado por nos fazer tão felizes!!! Amamos você!!! Seus pais, Liliam e Henrique Lu, você não faz ideia do quanto estou feliz e orgulhoso por você nesse momento, aproveite muito essa fase da sua vida: formatura, festas e EURO! Te desejo o maior sucesso do mundo nas próximas etapas e sabe que estarei sempre ao seu lado, conte comigo com qualquer coisa que precisar. Parabéns para o melhor irmão do mundo. Te Amo, Lufi. Seu irmão, João Victor
Arthur Duvivier Carvalho
Arthur.... Nome que possivelmente surgiu da língua celta, sendo a união dos elementos art, “urso” e ur, que significa “grande”. No caso do Arthur o grande e o forte realmente nos saltam aos olhos. Na verdade, reúne características e qualidades bem menos visíveis e bem mais complexas, como uma bela sinfonia de Mahler... Trata-se de um menino extremamente sensível. Não só para aqueles ao redor, mas também para aqueles que estão longe. Menino de gostos ecléticos que voam desde música clássica até os raps mais pesados.... Pessoa de interesses díspares, como uma bela exposição artística ou caminhadas em locais ermos acampando e dormindo na solidão. Amante da arte e dos museus que lhes dão abrigo, assim como dos lugares mais simples onde se pode devorar suculentos hamburgers. Avesso a modismos e frescuras, curte por outro lado as tendências que emergem de movimentos diferentes.... Acredito que Arthur será uma daquelas pessoas que irá tornar-se um “homem completo”. Completo no sentido de ter dentro de si a possibilidade de abraçar os dois lados da vida de forma igualmente apaixonante: a sombra e a luz, o belo e o bizarro, o rebuscado e o simples, o hermético e o extravagante, o quieto e o barulhento, o obvio e o oculto. Esse é o homem que vejo ele lentamente buscar ser, com uma linda jornada pela frente e o mundo se apresentando aos seus pés. Que caminho ele vai escolher só a ele cabe saber. Que ele consiga usar a grandeza e a força que seu nome lhe confere!

Manu, te miro y se me mezclan las imágenes: el nene-koala agarrado a mi cuello, tu carita desconcertada por el reto de la

Zinho, Habibe! Estamos muito felizes por suas conquistas e reconhecemos o esforço que envidou para alcançar os seus objetivos.
Sabemos o quão desafiador foi para você buscar coragem e determinação, que inclusive ajudaram a revelar características que você nem imaginava ter.
A partir de agora terá que, por suas próprias escolhas e caminhos, conquistar o que de melhor a vida pode proporcionar. Porém, mais confiante e motivado pela mesma coragem e determinação que o trouxe até aqui.
O Zinho que se atualiza, que busca novas possibilidade, que resgata caminhos já pavimentados pela história, que se comunica, debate e gera controvérsias. Mas acima de tudo o Zinho companheiro, irmão, neto, primo, sobrinho e um filho que nos enche de alegria por estar sempre pronto para ajudar quando é preciso.
Nunca desista, mesmo que os desafios da vida possam parecer intransponíveis. De alguma forma estaremos sempre ao seu lado.
Desejamos que a sua história, construída na escola, faculdade, com o seus amigos e a sua família, seja a pedra fundamental de um futuro brilhante e feliz.
Continue acreditando em você, seus sonhos e suas realizações! Te amamos muito, Filho!
We will miss you bro ! Good luck! Patrick and Leo.

Be confident, optimistic, and believe in yourself. Be disciplined and organized. You are now entering into a more challenging phase of your life. Your parents would always support you with their prayers and efforts. But I believe in you. You can do it. Dad

Aos 2 anos ganhei meu presente mais precioso, o que estava faltando. Ter você é a garantia de um companheiro pra sempre, que me faz feliz a qualquer hora e que me faz saber que eu nunca vou estar sozinha. Tenho o maior orgulho de ser sua irmã ao ver o homem que você se tornou e ao ter certeza de que você é capaz de qualquer coisa. Palavras nunca vão ser suficientes pra te agradecer por ser meu melhor amigo. Eu te amo muito pern, você é minha maior saudade. Maria Beatriz

Gabi,
A VIDA é uma pintura...
Com o passar dos anos você se transformou em uma menina linda, correta e forte. Sensível com os outros, generosa e temente a Deus.
Tudo o que você faz forma um quadro lindo que meus olhos não se cansam de admirar. O privilégio de estar ao teu lado, de segurar a tua mão e passar o tempo tocando violão e piano, ou jogando longos bate-bolas de tênis... Tanta coisa agente faz... o meu sonho só fica mais colorido.
Agora você vai brilhar essas cores e continuar a pintar esse quadro que se chama VIDA. O meu amor e meus pensamentos sempre estarão ao teu lado, filha querida, meu amor.

Parabéns filho, te desejo uma vida cheia de vitórias. Conte comigo sempre! TE AMO!
Nicolas Leisler Kiep
From the first day on he had a great smile on his face! Being pushed by his older brother Bruno since the early years, Nicolas (Niki or Guaraná) was riding a bicycle without training wheels before he was 2. Starting early on a great athletic career…from being the Nebraska Champion in tennis to scoring most points in Basketball…made him a better leader within the team. Nicolas is easy going and a great companion. He has always shown great responsibility and respect to the people around him. From fighting each other to falling off horses it has been an honor to be by your side all these years. Our differences are what united us and allowed the development of our partnership. May our paths continue to cross and allow the unison that we have prosper to further.
We are certain that Nicolas will depart home as a man with clear and strong values to help improve this planet. Nicolas always be what you are and keep contaminating people around you with your abundant positive energy and passion!
Andre Antoine Kouri
Da minha parte, eu desejo para todas as mães do mundo ter um filho igual você, um menino carinhoso, educado e simpático. Habibi, eu rezo todo dia para você ter um futuro indo do jeito que você gostaria de ter.
Que Deus te proteja sempre e que esse seu sorriso lindo nunca saia do seu rosto.
A LEILA (do jeito que você me chama) te ama muito, e vou ser sempre sua mãezinha protetora e cuidadosa, (nunca dorme com o ar condicionado ligado sem camiseta).
Finally your time has come bro! All the best on your journey from now on, and know that you can ALWAYS count on me dude! Love you… second best seniors. William
Dedek, continua sendo esse menino lindo e carismático que você vai longe, de verdade! Eu te amo incondicionalmente e não poderia pedir por um irmão melhor que você! Saiba que você pode contar comigo para qualquer coisa que você precisar sempre, vou estar aqui por você pra sempre! Pietra André! Obrigada por ser o melhor irmão do mundo! Por sempre me ajudar e proteger! Tudo de bom pra você SEMPRE! Love you. Juliana

Felipe, muitas trilhas de MTB vividas e muitas virão. Estradas e provas em road bike, foram muitas e haja adrenalina!
Quantas expedições, vida simples e muito curtida por todos! Ondas também, na calmaria... Paciência no mar de ressaca... Prudência!
A busca de conhecimento é uma meta para realização de um grande ideal, a Justiça e a Paz.
Desejamos muitas conquistas e muitas alegrias.
God bless you, Octavio e Angela, Carol, Tavinho, Paulo e Nanda e Tuca!!

Emi, en el libro de la vida, no encontrarás receta perfecta para seguir. Tendrás que descubrirla y perfeccionarla con tus propios aciertos y errores. En tus manos llevás ingredientes valiosos como lo son una buena educación y firmes valores humanos. Sin duda sabrás emplearlos con inteligencia y responsabilidad. Y jamás olvides los condimentos esenciales: el Amor y la Alegria.

Mayara precisou nascer para eu aprender a diferença entre AMOR e GRATIDÃO!

Julia Galante Pereira
Como é bom ter uma filha como você...costumamos dizer uma filha que vale por hum milhão, tamanho o seu amor, carinho e cuidado conosco e com o resto da Família!!! Sempre feliz, assobiando, cantarolando, aluna aplicada, nunca tivemos nenhuma reclamação quanto ao seu comportamento ou deveres não realizados e sim das risadas com as amigas tão queridas!!! Amigas da vida....todas muito especiais e que continuarão, apesar da distância, sempre unidas!!! Obrigada por nos dar tantos presentes... somos pais bobos, se erramos, foi por sempre querer o melhor para você!!! Por isto filha, não tenha medo de errar, o importante é tentar e das tentativas vem o real aprendizado!!!
Que fase maravilhosa está por vir, aproveite-a com intensidade, maturidade, com mente e coração abertos. Na sua bagagem oversized, leve a nossa confiança do que criamos, idoneidade, respeito e coragem. Sabemos que não será fácil ficar longe de você filha, mas a criamos para o mundo e como este mundo tem sorte!!!!

Ornella Foresti Guedes Pereira
Filha querida, Que emoção escrever no seu yearbook! Quantas vezes brincamos e imaginamos sobre qual foto e texto colocaríamos... E se passaram 15 anos de Chapel. Lembramos do seu primeiro dia de aula usando o vestido de bolinhas do uniforme...linda! Desde pequena, você sempre gostou de se virar sozinha, dominar seu espaço e buscar sua autonomia... Estamos muito orgulhosos da pessoa incrível que você se tornou. Determinada, comprometida, leal e carinhosa dentre tantas outras qualidades... Como foi bom acompanhar seu crescimento pessoal, suas conquistas, vitórias acadêmicas e esportivas. Agora você vai iniciar uma nova etapa de sua vida levando em sua bagagem, além de todo o aprendizado, amigos maravilhosos. Desejamos que construa sua vida com trabalho, fé, amigos e humor!
Somos gratos a Deus por termos o privilégio de sermos seus pais... Sempre estaremos prontos para lhe apoiar em suas escolhas.
Te amamos muito.
Papi e Mammy
Beatriz Baptistella da Rede
Lembramos do seu primeiro dia na Chapel, de vestido azulmarinho, nossa princesinha. Muitas histórias você viveu e sonhou nestes últimos 15 anos na escola e agora, cresceu e amadureceu! Estamos muito orgulhosos de sua trajetória, não só nos estudos, nos esportes, nas ações sociais, no NHS e também com a formação multicultural e humanista que recebeu e incorporou. Desde pequenina você queria ser veterinária, o que combinava com seu amor pelos animais. No 7th decidiu ser médica e percebemos seu amor ainda maior pelas pessoas, por cuidar delas. Com determinação manteve sua escolha, difícil e desafiadora, mas que, com seu caráter inabalável e persistência, conseguirá realizar. Sabemos que filhos crescem e tem necessidade de viver novas histórias e sonhos. Ajudar a levantar voo é um dos atos mais lindos da maternidade e paternidade, ver voar será sempre uma alegria, mas com um misto de vazio, apesar da sensação de missão cumprida. Ver voar é aplaudir a cada conquista, mas ainda querendo sentir as suas mãozinhas nas nossas. É orgulhar-se, apoiar, mas com um gosto de saudades, de tê-la sempre ao alcance dos nossos olhos ou aos cuidados zelosos da Chapel. Mas você está pronta para voar! Te amamos demais filha!
Julia Ann Schmitt
Jubby,
Time flies....I remember clearly when I walked you to your 5th grade class with Ms. Erin! Look at you now….graduating from Chapel! If life had a pause button, we would have pressed it a long time ago so we could keep you as our little Jubby forever…. but glad we didn´t as we watched you mature and turn into such an amazing, caring, beautiful and talented woman. This time off will open your eyes…work, experience, mature… things will fall into place and you will find your calling. A few life dicas: dream, follow your instincts, be curious, ask questions; you always have a choice, no matter what the situation is; be strong enough to say I forgive you , I love you , I´m sorry; success is not measured by material things, but by who you are, what you believe and how you treat others.
We are always here for you….for a hug, for colo, for advice and
ALWAYS for a silly joke. Crying as we finish this, we love you unconditionally and are SOOOO proud of you!
Mamma, Dadda, and Erik
Arthur Costa da Silveira
Nosso coração explode de orgulho e satisfação!
Sua trajetória sempre com desafios. Desde o seu nascimento precisou lutar bravamente para sobreviver, e muitos outros obstáculos surgiram no decorrer de sua vida, mas você sempre nos surpreendeu com força e determinação.
Deus havia nos presenteado com uma jóia, um filho irretocável.
Seu avô disse “ será um grande homem”, não temos dúvida, pois está sempre à frente do seu tempo, sua visão alcança onde não podemos. ver.
Nova etapa vencida com louvor! Apesar dos quilômetros que nos separaram, não nos arrependemos por tê -lo enviado à São Paulo tão precocemente, porque você usou essa distância como motivação para superar todos os obstáculos e nos orgulhou a cada nova conquista.
Nosso “Rei Arthur”, um futuro brilhante te espera, vá buscá-lo! Continue com sua garra característica, seu caráter íntegro e confiando em suas intuições, sabendo que seus pais estarão sempre carregados de amor para o acolher a cada volta.
Maria Luiza Ribeiro Scott Stokebrand
Malu,
Ainda nos lembramos de você como uma pequena bebe em meus braços, uma menina frágil, pequena com pernas longas. Hoje você e uma mulher forte, decidida, focada, e talentosa com um sonho cada vez mais presente. Sempre tivemos certeza do seu foco artístico muito forte e te deixamos livre para fazer suas escolhas e buscar sua felicidade. Somos pais orgulhosos por temos a honra de sermos seus pais. Parabéns, nosso presente de Deus.
We are very proud of the woman you have become with your grand style, independent thinking, and determined work ethic. As you now turn your focus on college and start your journey in life, we wish you continued success. We will always be there to support you when needed. We are so very proud of you and we love you. Congratulations on graduation!!
Julia de Oliveira Thiele
Júlia, minha amada, minha linda, minha flor. Lembro-me de você bebê, das suas mãos pequenas segurando as minhas. Nasceu a filha, nasceu a mãe e, junto, nasceu o desejo de construir uma relação cheia de afeto e compreensão. E é o que temos feito... A vida, que nos juntou e nos tem sido tão gentil, nutriu em nossos corações um amor imenso e sem fim e nos traz frutos de alegrias e vitórias compartilhadas, como a que estamos vivendo agora.
Chega o tempo de crescer e de ser livre, de brotar e de florescer, faz-se necessário voar e se encantar com todas as possibilidades do novo ciclo. Então, viva intensamente! Use sua inteligência, amorosidade, persistência e ética para construir um lindo caminho. Siga sua intuição e persista em seus sonhos e propósitos. Seja feliz, muito feliz, com o que quer que se apresente, lembre-se que a felicidade está dentro, e só lá. Obrigada por fazer parte da minha vida. Você é um presente e me faz querer ser melhor a cada dia. Te amo sempre e cada vez mais.
Sua Mops
Paula de Oliveira Thiele
Paula, minha amada, minha linda, minha flor.
Impossível escancarar o coração, mostra-lo em cor e forma. Compartilhar os sentires - esse mundo que corre e se agita dentro do peito. Quisera pudesse inventar novas palavras e ritmos para contar como me sinto, deixar ver o calor em minhas veias e o coração cheio de amor, orgulho e alegria.
Neste momento mágico, que descortina um mundo de novas possibilidades, de inúmeros caminhos e de muitas escolhas, peço à vida e a Deus que lhe ofereçam sempre um colo doce e gentil, que permitam que você escolha a partir do amar e do amor, que aprenda com tudo que lhe aconteça e com todos com quem conviva.
Lembre-se sempre de usar seus muitos talentos, já que inteligência, persistência, respeito e colaboração são sempre bem-vindos. Continue se divertindo e fazendo rir, a vida com leveza é incomparavelmente melhor.
Obrigada por fazer parte da minha vida. Você é um presente e me faz querer ser melhor a cada dia. Te amo sempre e cada vez mais.
Sua Mops

_ Daniii
_ Tô indo!
Mantra matinal nos últimos 5 anos. Não mais te chamarei, mas estarei todas as manhãs gritando em pensamento:
_ Daniii, vá indo! Vá para a vida que te espera; vá traçando seu caminho. Vá brilhar.
Nunca perca a delicadeza, humildade e a curiosidade. Cultive as amizades. Evite os extremos.
Muitas alegrias virão, frustrações idem. Sempre se pode recomeçar, desistir jamais.
Quando pequena você olhava o céu e via a Lua em todo lugar, não importava pra onde corresse.
Assim como a Lua, somos nós sua família, não importa onde e como você esteja, estaremos alí olhando por você.
Seja feliz minha Flor.
Com todo amor e um orgulho infinito,
Mamãe
Dani,
Eighteen years ago, we arrived at our home with this precious jewel that at the time we did not have any idea of how much it would affect our lives.
You were this beautiful sleeping little baby that we laid for the first time in your crib. I looked to your mother and asked - “Now what?” Trying to make sure you were safe and comfortable. We are not only very proud of your accomplishments in your academic life, but even more proud of the person you are becoming. Caring, fun, always driving to do your best.
“You will always, be that baby we cherished and learned to love the very first millisecond we met, and we will always be by your side to make sure you are safe and happy.”
Dad
