In the first chapter referring to the Introduction, where I contextualize and affirm the relevance of this document as well as its main objectives. In the next chapter, I allude to my "Personal Metamorphosis" where I talk about the most important stages in my life that will allow me to first enter the field of sport and later specialize in teaching. The third chapter portrays the "Institutional Cocoon" and characterizes the school community as well as the entire environment and the resident class. Then comes the "Professional Growth of Butterfly", which frames my professional practice and is divided into three areas, namely, the area of organization and management of teaching-learning, which includes the fundamental components of the teaching-learning process. In this area 1, I highlight the themes related to the shock with reality, professional education as well as distance education due to the importance and relevance of these contents throughout this metamorphosis. With regard to area 2, this concerns participation in the school and relations with the community where I present all the non-teaching activities in which I was involved. Finally, area 3, professional development, which is materialized with a study on the impact of the pandemic on the realization of practical classes in Physical Education.
