Part 1: A personal life experience that has had particular significance for me In 2016, I was going through a lot of changes in my life. I used to live in a small town called Cascavel, but when I started high school at the Federal Institute of Ceara I had to move to another city. So, I have started to live in Fortaleza, a big city in Brazil. Also, I was in my early teens – a complicated phase for everyone. This were hard times for me because I was feeling lonely and confused. I didn’t really know Fortaleza yet and had few friends at school. Fortunately, some time after school started, I had already made some friends. My new colleagues were also going through a lot. So, we decided to help each other and created a small group called “Unshaken”. At the beginning, we were just seven girls gathering at Friday lunches to talk about the week and share experiences. Bit by bit, the group was growing, and I took over it with a friend. All member of the group - no longer just girls – used to look forward to every Friday. So, we could talk about our weekly achievements and problems and play songs. Also, each week, a different theme was chosen, and one of the members talked about it. It was wonderful to see the growth and relevance that Unshaken was achieving. When I was with those people, I felt welcomed. I also felt able to welcome other people. At the meetings, I have met students from other courses and grades and even people from out of the school, because the project reached many people. Many of them remain as my friends.
