A Voz de Leonor

Leonor era estudante de História na Universidade de Coimbra. Adorava a disciplina, lia todos os livros, fazia todos os apontamentos. Mas havia um problema: quando o professor fazia uma pergunta na aula, Leonor nunca respondia. Sabia sempre a resposta, mas o coração acelerava, as mãos suavam, e as palavras ficavam presas na garganta. Era como se responder em público fosse impossível.

Leonor was a History student at the University of Coimbra. She loved the subject, read all the books, made all her notes. But there was a problem: when the professor asked a question in class, Leonor never answered. She always knew the answer, but her heart would race, her hands would sweat, and the words would get stuck in her throat. It was as if answering in public was impossible.

O professor Doutor Ramos era conhecido por fazer perguntas difíceis. Era um homem de cabelos brancos que ensinava na faculdade há trinta anos. As suas aulas eram fascinantes mas intimidantes. Quando ele olhava para a turma e perguntava, os alunos ficavam nervosos. A maioria respondia algo errado ou ficava em silêncio. Leonor ficava sempre em silêncio.
