From a Two-Room Apartment in Brazil to a New Life in Germany
I still remember the moment I arrived in Germany back in 2019.
I had completed my medical degree in Paraguay and was determined to continue my life as a doctor here in Germany.
But twice, I almost gave up on that dream.
I grew up in Curitiba, a city of over a million people in southern Brazil. My parents were separated, and my mother worked two hospital jobs while raising me alone in a tiny two-room apartment. When she suffered a stroke, I had to be strong — for her. I worked at a local elementary school during high school to help pay for her medication.
Studying medicine in Brazil was completely out of reach financially. So I went to Paraguay, where education was more affordable, and I could still chase my dream of becoming a doctor.
