It's true that I had teachers that didn't give up on me, and I was very fortunate to have those teachers, because I often gave them cause to think there was no reason to invest in me.
É verdade que tive professores que não desistiram de mim, e tive muita sorte de ter esses professores, porque eu sempre lhes dava motivos para pensar que não havia razão para investir em mim.
