Hi Glaucia. Thank you for sharing your story, which is inspiring.

Only one person in my Computer Science class graduated on time. An interesting detail is that this one person who graduated is a girl in a majority-male class.

Inspiring story! Thanks for sharing!

Btw. “Public schools” are harder to get in in Germany. As they are (almost) free but have the better paid personal, everyone wants to go to them.
Private schools are for the ones who didn’t performed that well before (but at least their parents have money 😵‍💫😅)

Here in Brazil the Public School (provided by the Brazilian government a few them are good: the Federal one's) the the other one's not too much. It's a different reality. Thanks, Sandra

I wanted to share my journey from public school to working at the largest technology company in the world. Growing up in a small community, I always dreamed big, but I didn’t have many resources or mentors. With hard work, persistence, and a lot of learning on my own, I managed to earn a spot at a top university. From there, I took on internships and networked with professionals, slowly carving my path toward tech. Along the way, I occasionally used a ghostwriting service to help fine-tune my cover letters and applications, ensuring my achievements were showcased effectively. Today, I'm proud to be part of a global tech leader, proving that perseverance and the right support can make a difference.
