Entre desafios, conquistas e superação: a formação docente em educação física sob a perspectiva de um acadêmico pós-acidente vascular encefálico

Abstract

A cerebrovascular accident, commonly known as a cerebral hemorrhage, is a condition characterized by an alteration in cerebral blood flow, which can be ischemic or hemorrhagic. Among its sequelae, epileptic seizures stand out, caused by inflammation, scarring, or brain injuries, requiring pharmacological treatment with antiepileptic drugs and medical follow-up to reduce seizures and improve individuals’ quality of life. Objective: To report my experiences as a Physical Education undergraduate student after a cerebrovascular accident, with epileptic seizure sequelae. Methodological Procedures: This is an experience report concerning my academic trajectory, which began in 2019, in the Physical Education Teaching Degree Program at the University of the State of Amazonas (UEA), at the School of Health Sciences (ESA), located in the southern area of Manaus. Experience Report: The experience covers the period from the beginning of the degree program to the occurrence of the cerebrovascular accident in August 2020, during the pandemic, as well as the rehabilitation process, reintegration into the university, and experiences related to teacher education, especially during supervised internships. Final Considerations: This work was of great importance as it highlights my academic and personal journey; I hope it contributes to the scientific literature, encouraging the participation of new individuals with conditions similar to mine so they can achieve their dreams and goals, as I achieved mine. I also highlight the process of reintegration and inclusion within the university, lived in partnership with professors, coordinators, and fellow students, who understood my limitations and believed in my potential and ability to continue my academic life through the organization of specific strategies, supporting me through every stage of this journey.
