5 important facts for me in 2016

This is another tough list to do. Evidently during an entire year many facts succeed, and the duty to choose only five is difficult. So, I am not choosing based on importance in a general sense, but according to the significance that they have to me. Thus, let's go sorting out what was important.

1- MY DAUGHTER READING AND WRITING:

The fact can seem simple, but during this year my daughter developed the ability to read and write completely. Last year she could read some sentences and write few words, but with the improvement this year, with only six years old, she can read books and write completely accurate. Of course we have the pleasure to buy books and games for her develop more the skill. The interesting fact is that she loves earn books and educative games. Then, of course that I and my wife are loving it, and that this conquer was one of the most important facts that we lived in 2016. For you my daughter, we are so proud!!!

2- WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AGAIN:

Last year I wrote about my team (Palmeiras) when we won the Brasil's Cup. In 2016 we have won the National Championship, and we are now more ahead as the bigger champions in Brasil. This year we won our ninth National Championship, and with our other three Brasil's Cup, we have now twelve national titles. The award was awesome to a team which was the better attack, defense, more disciplined, beating records in the second part of the championship, among other conquers. Furthermore, the championship was still more special this year, because we were doing without the title since 1994. Now, we are the best again, as well as the biggest champions in Brasil. I am proud to be at stadium in absolutely all the games at home in 2016. Do you want me justifying why is it fact very important for me? If you want, my answer is: Palmeiras is my life.

3- ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE:

The third more important happening this year was my definitive improvement in my english as my second language. As some people know I am an autodidact student that never studied english at school. The whole knowledge that I have is a flowering coming from my efforts, and I am proud about it. Thus, during these last two years I have improved considerably, and in 2016 the aftermath was fantastic. Since the beginning of the year I just can see like my english abilities have enlarged, and nowadays I think to be easy to do tasks as read books in english, talk fluently with natives, watch movies, series, news and games in english, write like I am doing now, among other things. It is interesting as nowadays the things in english around me seem normal things, as result of the language changing as my second language. So, my english is one among my five best facts of the year.

4- I HAVE BEEN DOING STRIKE:

Interesting put this fact into my five facts of the year. However, this is the reality. I am having problems in my university. I am a professor, and our university (UNIFIEO) has had some economical problems, and we professors and clerks have also been living troubles, because we are not receiving our payments accurately. Unfortunately, I am without my payments since August, and we did not have another alternative if not be in strike. So, we have been in strike now for more than a month, doing manifestations and protests, struggling to receive our rights. Why is it a fact much important? Because I am learning a lot with it. Moreover, when you are living moments of difficulty, it can be a good time to grow up more and change some things within your life. In fact, even though some psychological troubles, I can see some introspective advantages and learnings in it, as I need toil witty to achieve my goals. So, as I am a God man and as I have faith, then I believe in 2017, and I believe that the whole circumstances can be better after the new years' day.

5- LEARNING WITH HUMAN BEINGS AFTER THE TRAGEDY:

The fact was a tragedy, and surely was not important to happen. The crash of the Chapecoense's airplane was awful. The significative facts happened after the tragedy, because proved to me as human beings can be worth. In fact, the solidarity showed on the whole planet was marvelous. The world joined hands to act in prol of the Chapecó city, the families of the victims and the Chapecoense club. Although all the tragedy, the acts as the honors from Atletico Nacional fans, the same club giving up the awards of the championship, the world weeping for the victims, and for instance, organized fans from rival clubs whom commonly show some violence when reunited, singing together was awesome. Even though if I try, I can not put all the facts here, one conclusion is important; there are human beings in this world and they are greater than we can imagine. Many learnings from one infortune fact. When this sort of thing happens, I can think if perhaps is necessary bad events succeed to human beings, for them remember as they are good. Sad but true.

In conclusion, these five facts were important for me in 2016, and helped me to learn, to amuse and to improve my life. It is all for now. Until the next week with the last list of the year. Best regards.
