The Jesuit Journal would like to congratulate the winners of the second-ever iPad Art Competition: 1st Place Jeff Fulcher, 2nd Place Nathan DeMarco, and 3rd Place Tony Duong. We would also like to thank all the participants for their entries and hope to see even more submissions in next year’s contests.

Please note that some of the entries were based on or largely influenced by existing pieces of art, but all submissions were still created by Jesuit students from scratch and by hand.

In addition, thank you to Mr. Waits and his AP Spanish class for their poetry. These rhymed poems were originally written in Spanish, but the authors have also kindly translated them into English for the readers’ sake.

Lastly, we dedicate this year’s final edition to graduating senior Kevin Chen, who has been a Journal editor for the past three years and whose work has kept the Journal alive and well. We wish him luck in his future endeavors at Rice University and beyond.

La Escuela

by Robert Brandao ’14

School translated into English

A mí sí me gusta la escuela, Pero prefiero una rochela.

Los niños duermen en cada clase, Aunque no tengan una pase.

I do like school, But I prefer a big party.

The guys sleep in every class, Even though they don’t have a pass.

Pero hay esperanza para mí; ¡En español, todo lo entendí!

El Sr. Waits nos enseña muy bien; Por eso le digo a Dios, “¡Amén!”

But there is hope for me; In Spanish, I understood everything!

Mr. Waits teaches us very well; And for that, I tell God, “Amen!”

Yo siempre me río cada día, Como si fuera una fantasía.

Los de Jesuitas son familia, Y para mí, es domicilia.

I always laugh every day, As if it were a fantasy.

Those who attend Jesuit are family, And for me, it is home.

De Mí

by Matthew Khoury ’14

Of Me translated into English

Yo tengo muchas pasiones: Montando en monopatín, Pensamiento en sillones Mientras sentado en cojín,

I have many passions: Riding my skateboard, Thinking on armchairs While sitting on a cushion,

Tocando la batería, El ritmo estilístico Creando una fantasía De un mundo artístico.

Playing the drums, The stylistic rhythm Creating a fantasy Of an artistic world.

También, me gusta construir Artilugios technológicos Para uno día influir El mundo fisiológicos.

Also, I like to build Technological gadgets In order to one day influence The physiological world.

Escuela

by Sam Veatch ’14

School translated into English

Mi primero clase es inglés.

Tengo la clase de fe después.

Inglés es dificíl entender Porque yo no se cómo leer.

My first class is English.

I have faith after.

English is difficult to understand Because I don’t know how to read.

Piensé que era bien en matemáticas, Pero mis notas son problemáticas.

Física es imposible además; Nunca puedo resolver los problemas.

Español es mi clase favorito, Pero sólo comprendo un poquito.

Historia es arduo para mi también; No puedo recordar quien mate quien.

I thought I was good at math, But my grades are problematic.

Physics is impossible as well; I can never solve the problems.

Me da cuenta cuando respondiendo Que no sé lo que estoy haciendo.

Escuela me derriba en mi trasero; Prefiero ser sólo un cajero.

I realize when I am responding That I don’t know what I am doing.

School knocks me on my rear; I’d rather just be a cashier.

Spanish is my favorite class, But I only understand a little.

History is hard for me also; I can’t remember who killed whom.
