My childhood at the Amazon Rainforest

I grew up in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest, my father is a doctor in the Brazilian navy, and we lived in a military camp close to the Amazon River. The Brazilian Navy supports the indigenous communities with medical services and food. The camp was called Vila Buriti (the name of an Amazon fruit), it was 2 hours away by car from the next town. But there were a Marine boat and some helicopters to use in case of urgency. Our hospital, dentists, school, and parties have happened on the Marine Boat.

In my childhood, I was not familiar with chocolate, or comic books, our life was simply surrounded by the nature, eating fruit and fish, and swimming in the Amazon River. After 14 years of living in this place, my father was transferred to Brasilia (the capital of Brazil), and over there, I attended military school, and I took technology class for the first time with a teacher named Angelica Terezinha, she was my inspiration, and I desired to become like her, doing what she did. Years after, overcoming Dyslexia (a learning disorder) with arts in a Fine School and Technology at University, I become an IT professor at Conestoga College in Canada and a respected professional in IT Industry. In conclusion, I am very happy living this sense of purpose as a woman who loves Jesus and helping people using technology.
