Folks, in this episode of Tabateando, I invite you to daydream with me.
In this dream, I have my two guests today, Simone Tebet and João Campos.
Simone Tebet is a lawyer, a professor, has been a senator, a minister of the Republic, among many other things — this woman is a powerhouse.
And João Campos is an engineer by training, was a federal deputy, mayor of Recife.
considered the best mayor of state capitals in Brazil, is a pre-candidate for the government of Pernambuco, and he has the honor of being my husband.
One thing they have in common, besides being very dear to me and to many people in our big Brazil, is that they both started in politics very early.
I have always been a very dreamy person.
So, remember, when I was very young, from a very early age I did embroidery to help my mother.
I embroidered, did crochet, every kind of stitch.
At first I sold the cloths at church, then during the break to the teachers, in the teachers' lounge.
It was our source of income.
And I think it wasn't a dream.
I thought I was going to work with that, you know?
My mother worked with that, some aunts, I think my grandmother embroidered too.
So, I think it wasn't a dream yet.
It was what I thought I would do.
but I had a very strong desire with my father for us to open a little craft shop for my mother so she could sell the cloths.
it was kind of.
I think that was the first dream.
as soon as we had it I then really wanted to have a room to study in.
I always loved studying, having silence to study at home, you know — budgie, parrot, dog, it's the neighbor's dog, the motorcycle, I don't know what.
And then came the Mathematics Olympiad, for public schools.
- Neutral
About: expand quality public education
I won my first CNPq scholarship.
With those 100 reais per month, for two years, we built the second floor of our house and my room, so I could study.
And then I think it was after that that I really began to have this thing about dreaming.
It stopped being what I thought I would work at, because... that's what my parents worked at.
And it became a real thing, like, man, nobody's ever done this, but I'm going to do it.
And I think there's something about getting older.
But there's also something about, for the first time, starting to ask what my dream was.
To this day, like, I'm 32 years old, almost 33.
Every time I meet a child or a young person, it's automatic.
Just walk with me.
I always ask, hi, what's your name?
How old are you?
What's your dream?
What do you want to do when you grow up?
And there are many children and teenagers who don't even like that question.
Many do like it.
But I think it's because for me it was so powerful.
When they started asking me what my dream was.
