The present professional school placement report narrates the discovery of the world of teaching and the path followed by a student-intern who lived the Professional Internship year intensely, with emotions running high, fighting their insecurities to achieve the profession they aspire to. Before embarking on this journey, a personal framework is presented, recounting the personal and social experiences lived by the author that encouraged her to become a physical education teacher and to overcome the fear of entering an unknown world. The Cooperating School, where the Professional School Placement takes place, and the respective Resident Class are introduced. The pillars of this journey are also mentioned, being the Cooperating Teacher, the Supervising Teacher, and the Professional School Placement Group.

The path taken in this discovery involves various stages, which allowed for experiencing different moments marked by ups and downs, fears and anxieties, defeats and victories, insecurities and confidence, which provided essential learning for the practice of teaching, especially in terms of its conception, planning, execution, and evaluation.
