However as a kid i never paid  close attention to what it really meant to me, i just saw it as another symbol or even as a logo to our school. As i grew older and time passed by i learned to see farther to what is shown and create an opinion of my own . As a result  nowadays  i see the burning bush as a reflection of my spirit and eager to live life to the fullest, learning from others and also giving the best i can to others in need . I really hope that i never remain ignorant and keep learning everyday , a that that "cute symbol" never fades away.

To me it simbolizes the importance of helping others whenever I can. It will not fade away as life passes since it became inherent to me. To honor it, and avoid it to fade away, I will be thankful, conscious about my family and the people around me, besides being loyal to my values and beliefs. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687598326 Natalia Carrillo

It is a purpose and life project that drive us to be the bright light in the dark. This bush is my motivation, strength and maximum example to follow. to honor it, I will be the leader and transforming light that the school encourages us to be. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687599646 Mariana Blanco]]> 2020-08-19 16:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687599646 For me, the burning bush is a reminder of the women and leaders we aspire to become. Regardless of our future dreams, likes, or dislikes, this symbol will always advise us to become the best version of ourselves. Because of this, and many more reasons, the symbol of the burning bush is important to me. I do believe it can easily be forgotten as life passes, however, I’ll always try to be a better version of myself even if I‘m not thinking about it. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687599843 -Laura Tellez-]]> 2020-08-19 16:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687599843 As life passes many of us unfortunately forget many memories or symbolisms that are important at some age but later loses importance. The burning bush is one of those exceptions that remain in our memories and heart for more than we think it will remain. Since we were little the school has show us the importance of it, but more than that I think that it trully become important in our lives after we discover the meaning of it . The burning bush means something different for everyone, in the moment you discover your meaning the burning bush becomes something unique to you. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687600618 Estefania ]]> 2020-08-19 16:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687600618 The burning bush is a common word we´ve heard since we were little, but for me it has a lot of meanings. At first, it represents solidarity, which had taught me the importance of sharing and helping everyone who´s around me. Having the burning bush as a school symbol, makes me realice about my importance in the world, and how, with my abilities, I'm able to make this world a better one. Finally, but not least important, represents the light I have by expressing myself, and how with my actions, I can pass it to others, and expand the school's legacy; be empowered women leaders who inspire and bright the world. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687600817 Maria Paula Ravagli]]> 2020-08-19 16:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687600817 More than a symbol that represents the place and community that have seen me and helped me become the person I am today, the burning bush is a reminder of the promise I once did of always staying true to my origins, specially those I am proud of. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687608521 - Sofia Alonso]]> 2020-08-19 16:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687608521 https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687611168 "The Burning Bush" a word that we have heard since our first day in Las Pachas, and it represents everything we are as an institution. It is important for me because it means leadership and solidarity. As the years have passed, I have become aware of what the Burning Bush really represents for me as a Pacha. It's not only a simple school symbol, but it has changed my perspective of what life is. Thanks to the burning bush I understand the importance of helping others and being kind, and it is a constant reminder of always staying true to myself no matter the obstacles and problems life gives.

But still, the meaning of has changed as we grow up.  With the pass of the years the burning bush has become part of me, of my essence ; and it would be with me for the rest of my life. Because for me, the real meaning of it its that  we are here for a reason; to help others, to iluminate the live of others, being aware of their problems.
Valentina Florez]]> 2020-08-19 16:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687619981 For me, the burning bush is not only a symbol, but also an inspiration in my life. It inspires me to help people, so that we can grow as a community for having a better world. Due to this symbol, the burning bush, the song was very meaningful to me because it made me think about how blessed I am. I realized that there are many people suffering and that we need to help them. Definitely, this symbol, inspires me to help those who need me, and to teach them to be optimistic despite unpleasant situations. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687620923

We are way too focused on our bubble and our daily lives that we forget that we are actually alive. Where did time go? We forget how time and energy have given us touch, senses, feelings. We all have them, if those downtrodden, those who even in the streets feel the wind in their face.

It inspires me to keep fighting for everything that I believe in, but never losing sight of helping the community. I hope I get to honor it in my lifetime. Right now, I am fighting for the planet, even amid this crisis. I believe that with our effort we can change not only the lives of people nowadays but also of future generations that are yet to come. 
Laura Quintero]]> 2020-08-19 16:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687627258 I have always had some doubts about the meaning and importance of the burning bush to the school and the students. Since I was in first grade, I only thought it was the symbol or the badge of Pachas. However, throughout time, this “brown tree” isn’t only an icon that represents the mission and vision of the school. In ninth grade, I had the opportunity to understand how important and special the burning bush is for teachers, workers but specially for students. I finally understood that we, Pachas, have the task of being light for others. Most of us might believe that to proudly complete our task, we have to do great and big things, but in fact, we only need to be ourselves and share with others the values we have learned the last 14 years. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687628861 Valentina Zorro

When I was little it only meant a representation of God’s power because of its endless flames. Some years after, I realized the importance of this symbol in my life. It is a reminder that the light inside of me is always there no matter the difficult times, and also if it’s possible I need to share it with all the people. It’s an honor for me to be part of this amazing family that since the beginning has taught me the importance of not only mi light but also the importance of sharing. ]]> 2020-08-19 16:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687629249 If I'm being honest, I must admit that when I was a child, I found the burning bush´s message a tad bit confusing and broad. This was mainly due to my understanding of said bush as this magnificent, extremely abstract thing that simply told me to “be good to others and change the world”. However, as I got older, I began to change my perspective on this, because I realized that the burning bush isn't much of a specifically religious and abstract concept. Instead, I started viewing the bush as the symbol of a simple philosophy, that being the one of “make the lives of those around you better with simple but meaningful deeds” which is, in my opinion, the best way to make this world a better place. https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687629370 Silvana Sepúlveda]]> 2020-08-19 16:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687629370 https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687630832 Since we were little, the school has instilled in us the symbol of the bush as the light of our lives and as the path, we must follow to go out into the world and project ourselves in the best way, for me this symbol is the main guide to grow as a person and a woman, in order to achieve this light towards others. The bush is not only a representation of a "Pacha" but it is also the reason why we serve others and that is why we always carry it in ourselves. The bush is a life commitment and is a personal project, which is nurtured with life experiences.

Just as the bush would never be supposed to keep on burning forever, it is only natural to face situations where you have to decide to do what is far from expected - even considered "normal". You can define your own normal, your own "light". It is now each one's decision wether that light shines on you or the others, or how bright it is - and 13 years at school have showed me exactly were mine is going to]]> 2020-08-19 16:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/xhgya0c0szaua4ur/wish/687637664 Since we first started to study in this school, we have been told repeatedly about the burning bush and the importance it has.
