Last year, I wrote about the environment. This year I want to add my voice to the worldwide blogging effort to raise awareness, to discuss an issue which is latent in my country, poverty.

My dear friend Mary Hillis tagged me as this meme circulates the globe and everybody’s network. It is a reminder of the learning circles you’re part of, as well as a reminder of what you planned to be, what you’re doing and who you are today. Interesting!
10 years ago…
I still didn’t have kids and had moved to a city in the South of Brazil, Porto Alegre. I was happily teaching at a binational center there and enjoying the gaucho’s way of life, which was totally different from what I was used to in Brasilia, my hometown. I was totally immersed in learning how to integrated tech tools in my classroom.
5 Things I have to do today…
Play with my kids, work on a webcast project featuring Mike Coghlan, access my class blog for some feedback for students, do the laundry (yuck!), and keep reading a wonderful book “Waiting for Snow in Havana”.
Snacks I enjoy…
I’m not much of a snack person, but I’m a total coffee addict! Well, on my list is certainly chocolate, cherry tomatoes, Kellogg’s Snack bites (I love their crunchiness!), rice crisps, fruits.
Things I would do if I were a billionaire…
Invest on kids’ education worldwide. Help my sisters. Make more parties with my friends. Travel more. Sponsor innovative educators. Buy a ticket right now for my mom and sisters to come see me.
3 of my bad habits…
Being stubborn, speaking loud and just thinking of losing some weight, but never really doing it!
5 Places I have lived…
Cuiabá (Mato Grosso, Brazil), Brasilia (Brazil), Ellensburgh (Washington State, USA), Mestre (Venice, Italy), Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)
5 jobs I’ve had…
Kids’ tutor, private teacher, shoe seller, secretary at a Federal Prosecutor’s office, and administrative assistant at the International Affairs office at SEBRAE
6 People I want to know more about…
Ronaldo, Jen Verschoor, Durff, Vance Stevens, Sue Waters , and Pedro Henrique, all interesting people that I’d love to know more about.

I’ve seen this chain on Graham Atwell’s blog which is going on in the blogosphere, and decided to give my little contribution even not being invited by anyone. The idea is
to add to a collection of photos that represent our passion in teaching/learning. I have to tag it ‘Meme: Passion Quilt’ and post it on a blog, Flickr, FaceBook or some other social networking tool with a brief commentary of why it is a passion for me.
In my case, I chose this photo of my boys running and playing around because I truly believe that teaching/learning is about helping others to find their own ways and giving them freedom to make their options. Also, learning is about being engaged and, in having fun, doing something pleasant, the process is much smoother and meaningful. My passion is teaching and learning every day and seeing the ones around me taking off to new challenges.
