Celebration!

I have to thank all my friends and family for the great help and guidance throughout the years. Most of all I have to thank my students for the magic flow of the teaching-learning process with all the insights they have given and the motivation to keep me moving ahead, researching, studying!!!

I scored the first position in Bananal exam and I'm very excited. I was the first in the rank not only for the English teaching position, but among all candidates in different areas. It was my first government exam and a pretty cool experience!

I also took a public translator exam in Belo Horizonte and I am looking forward to checking my score in July. It was a tough one, around 70 candidates for each opening. I gave it a shot, let's wait and see!!!

I also signed up for another literary contest, this time one concerning education, the art of teaching and learning. I just mailed my work and we will have to see that too.

Besides all that, I have to celebrate the magic of having the most precious and beautiful daughter, someone that cheers me up every step I take and gives strength and inspiration to climb the highest and less traveled mountains! She just started swimming lessons and she is all excited about her new adventures in the pool. I also have to be thankful for all my dear students at school who make me happy each day I go to work to share what I have learned so far. they are unique and amazing too. Finally, I have to cherish the joy of having a wonderful family. "A sabedoria da vida não está em fazer aquilo que se gosta, mas em gostar daquilo que se faz." (Leonardo da Vinci)

Let us all be cool and be happy to celebrate life every step of the way!!!
