On that day me and my friends were going back home from school, but unfortunately, we did the same way chosen by the thieves who had just robbed a jewlery and were running away from the security guards of the jewlery. The streets was full of people and children leaving school just like me. Everything happenned pretty fast! everybody was running to all sides. Without realize the danger around me I was shot by a straight bullet, thinking that the noise was a little bomb.Sundely all my dreams became so far away! I was hardly hurt phisical and emocionally, in one second that smilling girl of moments ago was stuck on the ground, with wide open eyes and a scared face.
This scene was seen by the overall country and shocked Brasil. We will never forget it.
I was helped by many people untill the ambulance arrival. I was first taken to Souza Aguiar hospital and then Salgado Filho hospital, where I was very well attended and operated by an excelent group of neurologists. I faced the surgery very well but, unfortunatelly, the bullet had hit my bone marrow and I became tethraplegic. My life and so as my parent´s,realatives and friends turned upside down.
I even thought and I had some hope that I could go back to school soon,But unfortunatelly,that was not what happenned...
