a movie and she also goes to Japanese language class, so sometimes she has Japanese
language homework some nights. Todd works Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, but he
does not work Wednesday, so he usually stays at home and relaxes. Sometimes, he goes
shopping. Sometimes, he goes to the park. Sometimes, he prepares lessons because he´s
a teacher but he never goes to school. It is his day off. Todd does all his boring activities
on Saturday: He does his shopping, his laundry. He runs errands. He cleans his apartment.

hiking or goes to the park or goes to the beach. He goes to the beach almost every Sunday.

busy. Every Tuesday nights, he plays futsal with his friends for two hours and that's fun.

Gina’s story
Image: claudiabril.com.br
Gina Vieira Ponte is an inspiring person. She is a Portuguese teacher from public
school in Brasília. She is from Brasília- Brazil. When she started school, she
wasn´t very lucky, but now her life is different.
Gina comes from a big family. She has many brothers and sisters. Her family is poor. Her father cannot
read and her mother has only some years of education, but her parents tell her that education is
important and it can give superpower to a person. Then she goes to school. She wants to learn a lot, but
it does not happen at the first grade. Gina feels very sad because she sees that other students can learn,
but she cannot. She has difficulties. She also suffers because she feels discriminated because she is Afro
descendant.
At that time, she wants to stop school, but she thinks she needs to study. She doesn´t want to be bullied,
so during classes she memorizes what other children read to tell the teacher, but she doesn´t
understand. She doesn´t learn. She just memorizes, and she goes to the second grade.
When Gina is on the second grade, she tries to be invisible. She is afraid. She doesn´t know how to read.
She meets a wonderful teacher. This teacher believes in her, and she feels happy when she sees Gina
likes to learn and she helps her feel confident. Gina has admiration for her teacher and she wants to be
a teacher in the future too.
After some years, Gina graduates from university. Now, she is a public school teacher in Distrito Federal
and she teaches. She teaches young children for many years. After a few years, she notices that the
school is not exactly the space where students can change their lives, and she is very sad about it. She
needs to do something to make her students learn and get involved in learning and she wants to
transform her students´ life stories.
Gina wants a better public school for her students; she decides to study more. Gina wants to change the
way she teaches. Gina believes the students are the authors of their learning process. She also thinks
that education has to be connected to real life. She believes that education exists to help people be
better citizens. Then she creates the Project Inspiring Women. This project is based on discussions and
studies about gender equality in society. She talks to many people about this project. The objective of
this project is to end violence against women and to promote equality between men and women. Gina
travels around the country and she gives a lot of speeches telling people her story and about the project.
Gina wants to make the difference.
