NPA = National Peace Assembly

THIS IS THE PROCESS ABOUT THE ASSEMBLY WE HAVE LIVED AT SCHOOOL, SINCE THE FIRST MOMENT WE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT IT, TO THE LAST MOMENT WE FINISHED TALKING ABOUT IT.


"Well,the first time when I was inside the classroom with all my classmades and with Luisa,(she was our helper)when she started to explain the instructions or conditions to participate in the assembly, inmediately I thought that I couldn't participate well.
Luisa explained us how to talk: PARLAMENTARY LANGUAGE, There was an specific way to talk, for example, you could not say: 'I THINK', it was: 'THE DELEGATION THINKS'.

After understanding that, we had to do a simulacrum to practice how to act and react towards a discussion between two "enemies". My "enemies" were: Representatives of investors,Bank of the Republic, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,etc. My performance in the simulacrum was pretty good because I talk many times.
After making a practice the real NPA was coming, and I felt prepared. When the assembly started some people start talking about what was the problem, I mean, the trouble, for example: the Bank of the Republic started saying that we, (Representatives of Money Colectors)were stealing people using our pyramid system. We told them it was a complete lie, because the Bank of the Republic was REALLY stealing people with the interest rate; and it is TRUE!! 36% of interest rate per year, That is a lot!! The assembly continued very well organized until the Representatives of investors did challenge to us to the competition, then it was desicion of the people inside de classroom, to deside if we lose the right to vote or not. We lost. But we could talk and debate also.
At the final part of the debate, some girls that were the Press, gave us some papers that were called "SUPERLATIVES", those papers were to say which was the most beautiful girls and boys in Press, in the commission, it means the most pretty delegate, the most pretty president and also which was the most distracted, the most angry, the most extrange etc.That was the end.
But in conclusion, in general I enjoyed the NPA. :):)
