One of the best days in my life...

[Sir Ped of Ro]

to everyone

the biggest professional dream of my wife always was to be a school teacher (for kids from 4 to 10). it's been 3 years she has been trying to achieve the public testes to be one.

these testes are ridicouslly extensive in time, with an huge depth of contents (it can came out in the testes any kind of subject, there isn't any global guide lines for you top follow/study) and mostly it's a very hard (psychologically and physically) road.
each year (from april to july) you'll have 5 to 6 different testes and interviews.

around 6000 candidates for around 1200 jobs...

anyway, it's been 3 years (this is the third time) she tries to achieve them.
the first time she was like at almost "half of nothing" to get them (it was really frustrating/revolting), the second time (last year) she was elmiminated and today, man today, SHE GOT IT!!!!

this might be "something normal" for anyone who isn't aware of the sacrifices/efforths/strenght you must have to endure/sucessful them (and 3 times)...but this is something so important, so huge for us...it's a professional dream to her, and a personal dream for both of us!!!
and in the end you work for the state/education departement so...more stable than this it's hard (and if by the way she gets pregnant soon, lol, all is "taken care of")

sorry for the long post, but i wanted to express this special moment...our heads are exploding, lol, all the stress/revolt/suffering, etc... needed for this goal is now coming out...this WK we'll celebrate, we'll rest (we really need) and this holidays, man, this holidays in Portugal are going to be great!!!

so many plans that we can now start to build, so many dreams that have been sighed for so long...we're happy!!!

love you all, regards,

Pedro and Cristina (she's the heroin of all this, I LOVE YOU MY PRINCESSE!!!!! I'm VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!)

YAY!! for all the teachers of the world.

to pedro & cristina -> to actually see someone who would strive so much to be a teacher, rather than just a backup plan, i have so much respect for u. u are the kind of teacher every student wants to have. the one with love for what she does.

@ pedro -> i don't mean to blow your bubbles & balloons of happiness but ..... don't u think the word 'testes' is too ..... err ..... not family oriented? ;D i'm sure u mean 'tests'.

[Sir Ped of Ro]

thanks again for your kind words and thoughts, they are really apreciatted/well received.

indeed this dream is an "old" one, very much dear to my wife and therefore to me too...she wants to become later on a specialize teacher, to teach to childrens who have physical handicaps (quite possible deaf or blind children). she already worked for almost one year as an "educational assistant" for children with physical and mental handicaps...she's really a talented a strong person (never saw someone studying/sacrificing so much for 3 times ina row).

is there a difference between testes and tests?! maybe there's a more suitable word for it...
my bad englis, lol...

For a man speaking his third language, Pedro (Or is it fourth? I know it's one of those I'd say you do very well

However... 'Testes' is Latin for 'Testicles' as Janggut so very nearly says ;D

Congratulations to your wife Pedro, and I wish her luck with her career

You know me, Pedro - I'll laugh at your English when I can do it in absolutely perfect Portuguese - which is about never

thanks for the "heads up"
but sometimes i should type and re-read my postings, lol...too fast typing and far from being good at english give as a really "bad/incorrect" message, sometimes,

[philster]

Congrats to your wife, Pedro - sorry it was so late in coming but I've had some problems this week
