Continuing our talk, in this video I answer another question that many people who want to leave their hometown ask. I used to ask myself whether it would be hard to leave Pelotas, too.

Talk - Was it hard to leave Pelotas?
Leaving my students
What held me in Pelotas the most, besides my family of course, was simply leaving the city and leaving my students. Some of them have been with me since I started teaching a few classes back in 2006 and 2007.
In a way, having students with so much experience gives me peace of mind that the work will carry on strong at our Pelotas branch.
I always had it in my head that it would be a very hard move, but with all the context I explained in the Talk - Why did I move to Floripa? video, everything became “easier”. Of course, leaving the city and no longer being on the mats with my students is something that gets to me, but I’ll always be going to Pelotas to support the new instructors and to see the great friends I left there. Not to mention that today we have enough technology to talk whenever we need to, and in fact this has been happening quite often to keep our team organized.
Other questions?
And that’s it for today! A short, straight-to-the-point talk hehehe, but soon I’ll post the other parts to answer everyone’s questions. And if there’s anything you’d like to ask, feel free to send it and I’ll reply soon.
