Today, humbly, I address all of you with a heart full of hope and a determined mind. First and foremost, I would like to extend my sincerest wishes that you are all well and enveloped by the best energies that the universe can offer.
Allow me to share a piece of my journey in this exciting game that is Big Brother. Since the moment I entered this virtual house, I have faced challenges that go beyond competitions and strategies. The stress of fighting against adversities in an environment where loneliness seems to echo through the halls is something that has weighed heavily on me.
As we well know, Big Brother is more than a game of skills; it is a test of emotional and social endurance. Amidst fierce competition, I recognize the vital importance of human connections and mutual support. However, I find myself navigating turbulent waters, with only a few voices accompanying me.
I have tirelessly sought to actively participate in survival strategies, to connect with my fellow players, and to offer the best of myself. However, it seems that I am being sidelined, perhaps labeled as an easy target, someone easily disposable. It is a painful reality to face, especially when I know I have so much to contribute to collective success.
Faced with this challenging scenario, I turn to you, my Tengaged family, with a sincere request. I ask you not to judge me by the surface, but to see the potential in me, the determination in my heart. I ask for a chance, an opportunity to prove my worth, to fight once again, to truly feel welcomed and valued.
With all the gratitude and hope I possess, I thank you for hearing my words and considering my plea. May we move forward together, towards the greatness that each of us deserves.
I vividly recall the moment in 2015 when I created a blog on Tengaged Brasil to share my conviction that I was on the right path by studying history and aspiring to become a teacher. Now, seven years have passed, and today I was pleasantly surprised by a touching tribute from my 8th-grade students: a bouquet of flowers accompanied by an heartfelt letter.
Being a teacher is a challenging task, especially in the Brazilian context, and being recognized by my own students is truly extraordinary. This display of appreciation makes all the effort and dedication worthwhile, reinforcing my conviction that I chose the right profession.
In the letter, it says
"Not only our teacher, but also our father, brother, and friend; he was not just one of the most important people in our lives. His thirst for knowledge and his willingness to impart it are priceless. We will always remember your classes, laughter, gossip, Friday games, Hopi Hari, advice, and how you encouraged us to have more confidence and believe in ourselves. We want to thank you for inspiring us and for being such an incredible teacher.
You are an extremely special person to us, and we are grateful to have known this amazing man. Everyone needs a Ramon in their lives, and we are fortunate that you were a part of our 2023 as a teacher. Thank you for teaching us to be amazing individuals like you, and we love you for being this spontaneous person. We appreciate everything you have given us during this year, and we are very proud to be your students. We will always remember you as a wonderful person with great affection, and we wish you all the best. May you continue to be the outstanding teacher that you are.
