WRITERS' CORNER #34

Students were asked to write an advice letter to teenager who feels very anxious because he/she doesn’t know what career path to choose.

What career path to choose?

Tiago Novais, 11ºM, nº26

Hey John,

How are you? I recently heard you don’t know yet what career path you want to follow in the future. And you know what? I want to help you with that.

So first you should think about what type of things you like. Maybe you like science but you don’t want to be a scientologist or a scientist. That’s okay because you might like other different jobs related to that subject.

What do you want? One thing is liking something, another thing is wanting it.

Maybe you want to study in Porto or Lisbon or even in Coimbra. Maybe you want a challenge and study something you find to be hard or tricky.

Last but not least, talk to your family and friends and ask their opinion on the subject. It may not be the most relevant thing to do but at least you will know what they think.

Hope you make a good choice,

Tiago

Two roads diverge ...

There she stands,

cunningly observing

in a myriad of thoughts

as if in a permanent struggle

against her inner self.

Human condition is so intricate!

Lots of questions, sometimes a feeling of emptiness, 

strong shivers down the spine, and then “the choice”,

most of the times a choice for life.

We need people who dare, regardless of the consequences, 

the criticism of those who rule their lives based on trivial details.

Challenge life never forgetting you are a limited edition, and that`s what

makes you UNIQUE:

Unforgettable, Noble, Incredible, Queenlike, Unafraid!

My Best Friend

When I came to this class, I looked very nervous. Everything was new for me. I am feeling slightly better now because I made many friends - friends who make me happy. Like everything good in life,  good friends are of great eminence.

Recently, I have made a friend that looks like me! I don’t mean her appearance, but her personality. It is very similar to mine. She is my lost sister! She is very kind and introverted, but she is a great friend. She helps me with my personal problems. These problems were torturing me - they were torturing my body and my head! And she, my new friend, helped me with some pieces of advice. 

I am better now and I owe her everything. Thanks, my friend!

My Best Friend

I don't have a best friend but I will imagine one. 

For me, a best friend should be someone fun and interesting. Someone I can spend hours talking to about my problems and the way I see the world. I would like someone that can be there for me for life because best friends are one big piece in our story. A best friend ought to be a person that loves you for what you are and you should love hm/her in the same way.

Summing up, a best friend should be friendly, nice and generous because when you have a person that importante, nothing can put you down.

Sinopse

Na Lisboa de finais dos anos noventa, um jovem escritor em crise vê o seu caminho cruzar-se com o de um grande escritor. Dessa relação, nasce uma história que mescla realidade e ficção, um jogo de espelhos que coloca em evidência alguns dos desafios maiores da literatura. 

A ousadia de transformar José Saramago em personagem e de chamar Autobiografia a um romance é apenas o começo de uma surpreendente proposta narrativa que, a partir de certo ponto, não se imagina como poderá terminar. José Luís Peixoto explora novos temas e cenários e, ao mesmo tempo, aprofunda obsessões, numa obra marcante, uma referência futura.
