Quero dar oportunidade para quem nunca teve. 📚🇧🇷

This country has had as many people educated and graduated from the Ministry of Education as the President of the Republic has had a doctorate. Why didn't the others do it? It's because in their minds, poor people don't need to study, they need to work. Black people don't need to study, they need to work. Indigenous people don't need to study, they need to work. And the difference is that in my mind, poor, black, indigenous people have to study, and I prefer to study. I don't want to take anything from anyone. I just want to provide equal opportunities. So I want Albico's maid , her daughter, to have the same qualifications to compete for a university place as her employer's son. I don't want to take away the boss's chance, I want to give a chance to those who never had one before. The word "impossible" is synonymous with complacency. When we believe in God, when we are courageous, when we are fearless, the word impossible must be banished. All. [music]
