&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nunca&nbsp; é&nbsp; tarde&nbsp; para&nbsp; alcançar nossos objetivos,&nbsp; sonhos,&nbsp; realizações&nbsp; na vida. Basta&nbsp; usar a&nbsp; humildade&nbsp; e&nbsp; vontade para&nbsp;&nbsp; vencer&nbsp; sem prejudicar&nbsp; o&nbsp; nosso próximo.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Filho&nbsp; de&nbsp; família de&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pequenos&nbsp; agricultores&nbsp;&nbsp; com&nbsp;&nbsp; seis&nbsp; irmãos,&nbsp; entre&nbsp; os quais,&nbsp; fui&nbsp; o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; único&nbsp; a&nbsp;&nbsp; seguir&nbsp; a carreira da&nbsp; avó&nbsp; materna&nbsp; que&nbsp; era&nbsp; professora&nbsp; no&nbsp; meio&nbsp; rural,&nbsp; em&nbsp; uma&nbsp; escola&nbsp; localizada no distrito&nbsp; de&nbsp; Pedreiras,&nbsp; no&nbsp; município de&nbsp; Arroio&nbsp; Grande. Os&nbsp; relatos&nbsp;&nbsp; de&nbsp; acordo&nbsp; com&nbsp; minha&nbsp; mãe&nbsp;&nbsp; e&nbsp; alguns&nbsp; que&nbsp; foram&nbsp; alunos&nbsp; naquela&nbsp; época&nbsp; consta que&nbsp; foi&nbsp; pelos anos&nbsp; na&nbsp; década de&nbsp; 1930. Ainda&nbsp; são&nbsp; escassos&nbsp; as&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; informações&nbsp; sobre&nbsp; a&nbsp; educadora Adelaide&nbsp; Branca&nbsp; de&nbsp; Araújo&nbsp;&nbsp; Teixeira&nbsp; Machado,&nbsp; minha&nbsp; avó.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Meus&nbsp; pais,&nbsp; Otílio Cypriano&nbsp; Amaral&nbsp; Ferreira&nbsp; e&nbsp; Zilah&nbsp; Machado&nbsp; Ferreira&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; adquiriram&nbsp;&nbsp; uma fração&nbsp; de&nbsp; terras&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; no&nbsp; distrito&nbsp; de&nbsp; Matarazzo,&nbsp; município&nbsp; de&nbsp; Pedro&nbsp; Osório,&nbsp; recentemente&nbsp; desmembrado&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; do&nbsp; município&nbsp; de&nbsp; Arroio&nbsp; Grande.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Para&nbsp; estudar,&nbsp; eu&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; e&nbsp; meu&nbsp; irmão&nbsp; caçula,&nbsp; tínhamos&nbsp; que&nbsp; andar&nbsp; esta&nbsp; distância&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; as&nbsp; vezes&nbsp; de&nbsp; pés&nbsp; descalços&nbsp;&nbsp; até&nbsp; a escola,&nbsp; pois&nbsp; as nossas&nbsp; rendas&nbsp; eram&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; adquiridas&nbsp; com&nbsp; dificuldades. Meus&nbsp; pais&nbsp; tinham&nbsp; como&nbsp; fonte&nbsp; de&nbsp; renda,&nbsp; a&nbsp; venda&nbsp; de&nbsp; animais,&nbsp; alguma&nbsp; quitanda,&nbsp; das&nbsp; quais&nbsp; tínhamos&nbsp; uma&nbsp; enorme&nbsp; horta que&nbsp; eu e&nbsp; meu&nbsp; irmão&nbsp; caçula&nbsp;&nbsp; abastecíamos&nbsp;&nbsp; a&nbsp; vila&nbsp; com&nbsp; legumes,&nbsp; frango&nbsp; caipira,&nbsp; ovos,&nbsp; etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Na&nbsp; década&nbsp; de&nbsp; 1960,&nbsp; pouco&nbsp; se&nbsp; falava&nbsp; em&nbsp; agricultura familiar,&nbsp; mas&nbsp; se&nbsp; produzia&nbsp; para&nbsp; o&nbsp; sustento&nbsp; da&nbsp; família,&nbsp; que&nbsp; geralmente&nbsp;&nbsp; eram&nbsp; numerosas. Os&nbsp; filhos&nbsp; eram&nbsp; desmembrados&nbsp; da família&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; após&nbsp; o&nbsp; casamento&nbsp;&nbsp; ou&nbsp; quando&nbsp; tinham&nbsp; a&nbsp; possibilidade&nbsp; de&nbsp; uma&nbsp;&nbsp; melhor&nbsp;&nbsp; formação&nbsp; através&nbsp; dos&nbsp; estudos.Um&nbsp; pouco&nbsp; de&nbsp; minha&nbsp; infância. Fui&nbsp; alfabetizado&nbsp; com&nbsp; o&nbsp; auxílio&nbsp; de&nbsp; minha mãe e&nbsp; na Escola&nbsp; Estadual&nbsp; de&nbsp; Ensino&nbsp; Fundamental&nbsp; Conde&nbsp; Francisco&nbsp; Matarazzo,&nbsp; no&nbsp; Distrito&nbsp; de&nbsp; Matarazzo. Esta escola&nbsp; na época abrigava&nbsp; um&nbsp; número expressivo&nbsp; de&nbsp; alunos,&nbsp; filhos&nbsp; de&nbsp; operários&nbsp; que&nbsp; chegavam&nbsp;&nbsp; para&nbsp; trabalhar&nbsp; na&nbsp; mineração&nbsp; de&nbsp; calcário, fonte&nbsp; econômica&nbsp; da empresa&nbsp;&nbsp; Matarazzo na&nbsp; localidade&nbsp; onde&nbsp; houve&nbsp; um&nbsp; avanço&nbsp; econômico&nbsp; para&nbsp; o&nbsp; município&nbsp; de&nbsp; Pedro&nbsp; Osório.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; O&nbsp; local&nbsp; onde&nbsp; vivi&nbsp;&nbsp; a minha&nbsp; infância,&nbsp; era&nbsp;&nbsp; retirado&nbsp;&nbsp; aproximadamente&nbsp;&nbsp; três&nbsp; quilômetros&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; da&nbsp; vila. Esta vila tinha&nbsp; um&nbsp; conjunto&nbsp; habitacional&nbsp; para os&nbsp; operários&nbsp; que&nbsp; trabalhavam&nbsp; na&nbsp; mineração. Tinha&nbsp; estação&nbsp; rodoviária,&nbsp; armazém,&nbsp; padaria,&nbsp; farmácia,&nbsp; salão de&nbsp; festas,&nbsp; campo de&nbsp; futebol,&nbsp; igreja, cancha&nbsp; de&nbsp; carreiras&nbsp; e&nbsp; até&nbsp; um&nbsp; cemitério.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Com&nbsp;&nbsp; o&nbsp; falecimento de&nbsp; nosso pai&nbsp; em&nbsp; 1976,&nbsp; continuamos no&nbsp; meio&nbsp; rural&nbsp; acompanhando&nbsp; nossa&nbsp; mãe&nbsp; e&nbsp; realizando&nbsp; atividades&nbsp; na terra para o&nbsp; sustento&nbsp; da&nbsp; família&nbsp; e&nbsp; alguns&nbsp; dos&nbsp; irmãos&nbsp; ainda&nbsp; estão&nbsp; com&nbsp; atividades&nbsp; agrícolas&nbsp;&nbsp; nesta localidade (2011).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Concluída&nbsp; a&nbsp; sexta&nbsp; série nesta escola,&nbsp; tive&nbsp; a amarga experiência&nbsp; de&nbsp; abandonar&nbsp; os&nbsp; estudos,&nbsp;&nbsp; após&nbsp; inúmeros&nbsp; esforços de&nbsp; minha mãe&nbsp; em&nbsp; conseguir&nbsp; um&nbsp; local na&nbsp; cidade&nbsp; para&nbsp; morar e&nbsp; continuar&nbsp; estudando,&nbsp; sendo&nbsp; para mim,&nbsp; uma&nbsp; grande&nbsp; decepção. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ao&nbsp; concluir&nbsp; o&nbsp; Serviço&nbsp; Militar,&nbsp; voltei&nbsp; para&nbsp; o&nbsp; meio&nbsp; rural&nbsp; acompanhar&nbsp; minha mãe&nbsp; e&nbsp; irmão,&nbsp; retornando&nbsp; para&nbsp; a&nbsp; cidade no&nbsp; ano&nbsp; de&nbsp; 1985,&nbsp;&nbsp; trabalhando&nbsp; em&nbsp; uma&nbsp; cooperativa&nbsp; de&nbsp; laticínios,&nbsp; dando continuidade&nbsp; aos&nbsp; meus&nbsp; estudos&nbsp; concluindo&nbsp; o&nbsp; Ensino&nbsp; Fundamental&nbsp; e&nbsp; o&nbsp; Curso&nbsp; Técnico&nbsp; em&nbsp; Contabilidade,&nbsp; não&nbsp; exercendo&nbsp; a&nbsp; função&nbsp; e&nbsp; optando&nbsp; pelo&nbsp; Magistério.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A&nbsp;&nbsp; idéia&nbsp;&nbsp; deste&nbsp; relato&nbsp; de experiências&nbsp;&nbsp; é&nbsp; divulgar&nbsp; um&nbsp; pouco&nbsp; de&nbsp; minhas&nbsp; atividades&nbsp; como&nbsp; educador. Minhas memórias poderiam&nbsp; ser&nbsp; um&nbsp; trabalho&nbsp; mais&nbsp; amplo,&nbsp; porém&nbsp; o&nbsp; espaço&nbsp; para&nbsp; postar&nbsp; os&nbsp; trabalhos no&nbsp; AVA&nbsp; não&nbsp; foram&nbsp; suficientes.
