Name: My name is Talia Rodrigues Medeiros.

Age: I'm 24 years old.

Where do you call home? In the interior of Goiás, a town with few inhabitants called Gouvelândia.

Education (degree(s): My schooling is higher education, I have 2 degrees, in Law and in Pedagogy, where I had to go to another city many times without accessibility or comfort. I seek a specialization and work in Law. I see a contribution from AF in the possibility that I gained in putting myself in the place of others. Acting with excellence, I can contribute to the defense of the wronged and the formation of children in order not to see disability in a pejorative and restrictive way. As well as starting accessibility in a city where this is not common, in a state that is still retrograde and in a country that is still prejudiced.

Who do you live with? I have been in a stable relationship for two years and I live with my partner and pets.

What's a typical day for you? I wake up at 6:20 am, my mother comes to my house, helps me with organizing things for work, we go to work (we work in the same place), I return home at 11:15 am. My husband helps me with the medication and does the lunch for us. He puts me to bed, where I rest until 2 pm and start studying and work for extra income. I stay with my pets in my room until my partner arrives and helps me get dressed to go to the gym, around at 5:30 pm. I go to the gym but I first go to my parents' house to see my father who has early Alzheimer's and he is in the last stage of the disease. At 7:00 pm I leave the gym and I go to my mother’s house to take care of my social project for feeding animals that live on the street. I take a shower there and go back to my house at 20:00, more or less. When I get home, I feed my animals and take care of my collection of plants. At 10pm I have dinner, drink medicine and go to bed watching TV until I sleep.
