THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF ANGOLA

Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto was born in Icolo e Bengo, in Bengo Province,
Angola, in 1922. Neto attended high school in the capital city, Luanda; his father,
also called Agostinho Neto, was a Methodist Pastor. The younger Neto left Angola
to Portugal, and studied medicine at the universities of Coimbra and Lisbon. He

Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) in the war for

between computers. Then in the 1980s, telephone companies made it possible
to communicate on the computer network in many more countries. An
international computer language was born, and the Net went worldwide.

 MY STORY OF OVERCOMING

1. Read and translate the story into Portuguese.

My name is Hélder Carlos, I was Born in Huambo, I arrived in Luanda in 1998 due
to the war situation that the country was going through, at this time without any
experience at the age of 17 I started to work as a taxi collector in a car owned by an
aunt. It was difficult to fit in with the dynamics of the capital, so I decided to attend
the electronics workshop of an uncle, (who is no longer among us). There I started
to learn electronics repairing.

After a season I started doing electronics repairs, where I met a friend, who was a
teacher, I repaired his TV , and the exchange for the service got me a place at IGCA
school, where I got to do the penultimate year , by greater forces of work I left
school and seriously focused on work. In 2005 I entered the world of
entrepreneurship and opened my first shop in Huambo in the lower town, where I
worked with empirical knowledge until I left the shop in 2008.

43
I returned again to Huambo with another vision of business and new technologies in
2010, where I stayed until 2012, I returned to Luanda already with the goal of having
an office, I got married in the same year, I opened my office in Maculusso to
provide services and supply telecommunications equipment.

In 2013 I decided to start my studies again to finish high school and do several
trainings in the areas of: Leadership, technologies, Speakers, lecture, and finally a
training in Integral Systemic COACHING.

Still in 2016 I opened the first shop with technical area of Electronics in Talatona in
front of the General Katongo Clinic, after a year I opened the Construction
company, ''H Construção'', already with an innovation of manufacturing furniture
by Luxury measures with lacquered national wood, at the same Time I created the
organization ELKANA Master Coach where we take capacity building, training
and Motivation, for companies, institutions, and individuals where I perform what I
feel is my purpose in life in training and motivating people with Coachinge tools. I
can say that all this was only possible by the grace of God and persistence.
