A HOMOFOBIA QUASE ME FEZ DESISTIR DO SONHO DE SER PROFESSOR | Histórias de ter.a.pia #327

A few weeks ago, Anderson made headlines for bringing the idea of ​​therapy to his students in the classroom. He faced several barriers to becoming a teacher, but after overcoming the difficulties, Anderson found in active listening a way to connect with students and develop relationships within the school environment. Anderson encountered several obstacles on his path to becoming a teacher. However, the biggest one was prejudice because he is a gay man. Homophobia combined with a lack of acceptance led him to a depressive episode. What helped him move forward was the love and companionship of his partner, Leandro. Mental health problems greatly hampered Anderson's life. Since his diagnosis, for example, his professional life has gone through several ups and downs. The change began to take hold when he started teaching at Fundação Casa. There, he taught customer service and children's party decoration. Being in a classroom made Anderson dream again of being a teacher. He enrolled in college and graduated with a degree in Geography. His first assignment wasn't in the subject, but with the Life Project. In this subject, students understand who they are and what they want to be. That is, they are taught to understand their own personal, social, and professional interests. Thinking about how to actively listen to his students, Anderson was inspired by the "Stories of Therapy" project, built a cardboard sink, and had the sixth-grade class "wash dishes" and tell their stories and aspirations for the future. It was a success! Not only because the students actively participated in the project, but also because the activity improved the relationship between the children and their guardians. The Life Project subject wasn't just advantageous for the students: Anderson also benefited! With this experience, he highlights that he also arrived at his own Life Project by being proud to be a teacher. Anderson intends to continue teaching because he knows that there are still many children to graduate, and above all, to realize their dreams.
