Veronica Alves, the first woman from Brava to become a Prison Security Officer. Struggled with unemployment and challenges of being a single mother
Vila Nova Sintra, September 12, 2023 - Veronica Alves, a determined Brava native and mother of three children, became the first woman on the island of Brava to train as a Prison Security Agent. Her story is a testament to resilience and determination, facing significant challenges throughout her journey.
Some time ago, Veronica Alves found herself unemployed when she lost her job as a garden monitor at Escola Materna. She is the mother of three young children, a task that is challenging in itself. However, Verônica did not let the difficulties get her down and decided to face life with determination.
"I knew I couldn't give up, especially for the sake of my children. I had to fight to survive and offer them a better future," Veronica proudly shared.
Despite the difficulties, Veronica managed to reinvent herself and face unemployment courageously. She trained to become a Prison Security Officer, a profession that is often dominated by men. She was accepted into the training program and, after a rigorous period of preparation, earned her place as the first Brava woman to take on this role.
Veronica Alves, 31, is a single mother and is proud of her three children. She worked as a kindergarten monitor for five years, four of those years at Escola Materna de Santa Bárbara and the last year at Escola Materna Padre Pio.
Although Verônica did not mention it explicitly, there are rumors that she was placed on unemployment for partisan reasons. However, Veronica chose not to focus on these political aspects, focusing instead on her commitment to her family and her promising career.
Veronica Alves' achievement serves as an inspiration not only for Brava women, but for everyone who faces challenges and difficulties in their lives. Your determination and courage demonstrate that with effort and resilience, it is possible to overcome obstacles and achieve success. Veronica Alves is a notable example of how willpower can open new paths, regardless of the adversities faced.
