A MULHER INDIGENA TERENA, OS DESAFIOS E AS DIFICULDADES ENFRENTADAS NA UNIVERSIDADE. RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA DE DUAS ACADÊMICAS.

Abstract

This article aims to portray the challenges and difficulties that we indigenous women, from the Terena ethnic group, face when entering the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Aquidauana campus. To this end, we report on our experience, as academics on the Pedagogy course, we portray our daily lives, the difficulties encountered in going to college, which are many: dirt road, no asphalt, lots of sand and dust along the way, bus that breaks down on the way there or back, times when students have to wait for someone to help them and get home. We also present the quota system, which helps us a lot, because after all, we have some expenses. We concluded that the challenges and difficulties faced are practically the same, a lot of time away from home, children waiting at relatives' houses and what makes us persist is that we recognize that we are on the right path. Let's give back to our community with our acquired knowledge.
