No, not goodbye to you guys, goodbye to highschool. Last saturday I finished officially my school era with my prom ceremony. I was chosen by my classmates to make a tribute to friendship in the event. So, I wrote this speech:
"Milton Nascimento* said in his song: "A friend is a thing to save under seven keys". I agree with it and I complement: A friend is a thing to save inside an armored steel and titanium safe, adequate to the value of friendship in a human being's life. School is a big source of this wealth, there we meet the biggest part of our friends, and the constant acquaintanceship make this relationship stronger.
Despite the differences and rivalries between the classes, we kept together during the whole year. Sorry, during the whole High School. And in some cases, since the 5th grade!
When two or more classes get together, they fight for deciding who's the wrong one, who makes more noise and mess. They never assume the fault. When separated, they cooperate muttualy: they lend their books to who had forgoten, they cheat the tests... It's a contradiction wich shows the typical friendly relation, with positive and negative sides, more postives than negatives ones.
What will decide the strenght of this feeling on us will happen when this ceremony finishes. Will we keep together, even without the daily meetings at school?"

After this, I showed'em a short video with Tom & Jerry scenes that answer the question of the beginning of the video: O que é amizade? / What's friendship?
