good afternoon today I come to tell you my
life story
in me in my childhood we spent many
needs
shortage
sometimes we did not even have to eat
in order to get money we got to
collect the fecal material of the horses
to be able to sell to the brickworks
my dad did odd jobs at the time of
cotton crop we moved to
place called the lapachos about 40 km
so we all worked to be able to help
my parents were always great
wrestlers of which today I am very
proud
to school we could only attend
from August to December that were the months
that we returned to live in our town
there I am with my garden dust cover
I loved going to school
since I attended the garden my aunt
bring and bring me every day
I like to see the garden so much that one day
I told my teacher that that day my dad
I was going to look for him but it was not like that he did not
he knew nothing a while later he went to
look for me because I did not return to my
home
poor of my teacher who had to
stay until then to take care
but I was happy to be with her
when I was about 10 years old
my tired dads walk from one side to
another as swallows decided to come to
live the reconquest
my dad told my mom that he had a house
and I work here but it was not like that
we live the house some uncles
where we had very difficult moments
because we were not free to play
be quiet was not our house
They also set us hours to be able to
use the kitchen
then my mom not to bother
fire and cooked
some time later
and they got a piece of land where they could
make a ranch with thatched roof
mud walls as soon as they finished
we moved we had not even dried
the walls to the point that we
we woke up all muddy because
asleep we used to lean on her my dad
was still changa cartoneaba sold
what I found on the street
two years later
he got a stable job and there
our situation improved a bit
economic
in my high school age I attended
several school institutions
course up to third year and I abandoned
because at that time I was not responsible
It was not constant, like no one else
I demanded nothing, I decided to leave
as a girl I always had a great dream
to be a teacher a gardener to be a teacher
but how would you achieve that goal if you
I had even finished my studies
secondary
but that’s that dream
it was still latent in my mind in my heart
teaching for me was a vocation but not
did nothing to achieve that
I worked as a domestic employee babysitter
He earned very little and worked many
hours but I kept doing it
because something had to keep me
When I was 18 years old I learned to sew
machine that that pedal they use
our grandmothers also taught tissue
in the community room of my neighborhood
he made clothes to sell woven clothes
children with fabrics that donated to me
my first chance
appeared in 2007
when a neighbor tells me that in a
textile workshop was in need
personnel to work in machines
industrial
I introduced myself they interviewed me and they stayed
to call me
at this moment I felt that this was my
place
wait for them to call me
I just asked god that he wanted this
opportunity to progress
two weeks later they called me I started
to work
It was my first formal job
an immense joy invaded me
but what I liked most was that I would win
three times what he earned working
as a nanny
and operate eight months
later I was supervisor of the line of
work where I also learned mechanics
in 2011
came the great opportunity of my life
the great opportunity to fulfill my
dreams he had when he was
little
I was chosen to be a trainer
industrial level
can not imagine the emotion that invaded my
soul
and I told myself this is mine the great
opportunity that I was waiting for
teach my knowledge to people who
they would like to learn a trade
but what motivated me the most
is that those people had the same
opportunity that you
to be able to grow from training
that’s why I invite you
to you
that can give opportunities
do it
especially young people
It is time to gain experience
have is patience
how they gave it to me and they gave it to me
without having finished my studies
secondary
I’ve been doing this task
seven years ago
where to achieve it
I had to learn
mold my character
I had to let shyness cost me a lot
be able to speak in public
you are working in this place
I learned to value myself
to love me
above all things
to meet a schedule
but something very important
I beat my mental poverty
I can not always be the same
today I can tell you
that fulfilled the great dream of my life
I’m a teacher
and this I did not go the formal way to
achieve it
but I’m a professional
I am a teacher by trade thank you very much
