Thauany Shaer Piffer

Hello, my name is Thauany, I'm 15 years old and I was born in Caieiras, São Paulo, on July 21st, 2011.

In these 15 years, I've lived, learned and experienced many good and cool things, I've met new people, places and new things.

Currently I study at Colégio Zelinda, I've been there for 4 years and I'm about to graduate from 9th grade. I carry with me friendships since 6th grade, stories and unforgettable memories.

I am a very agitated, angry and difficult person, I confess. But at school I am very smiley, playful and sometimes angry too.

Besides school, I'm living one of the moments I'm enjoying the most in my life, jiu-jitsu. I've been in this sport for almost 3 years and competing for about 1 year. I dream of growing and continuing to dedicate myself and putting effort into training and championships. The championship is an experience that, in my opinion, everyone should feel one day, regardless of the sport.

My dream is to graduate, go to Law School or Veterinary Medicine, become the first black belt in my family, win titles in jiu-jitsu and never give up on this incredible sport, even though it's not easy.

I know it seems like a difficult dream for some, but a phrase I really like is: "If you want something, don't give up. Only you can make it happen, always believe in God and do your best regardless of the result."

Now it's time to make an effort, dedicate myself and always believe in God, because I still have my whole life ahead to achieve, enjoy and learn a lot.
