✨ Former Recipient Spotlight ✨

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Dr. Jessica Cogo, DC and celebrate where their journey has taken them since receiving a PAES scholarship! πŸŽ“πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή

What does your Portuguese heritage mean to you, and how has it shaped who you are today?

I am very proud of my Portuguese heritage.
Some of my favorite childhood memories are traveling to Portugal every summer and spending time with family and friends. I loved the feeling of community-meeting up at the coffee shops in the evenings, going to the festas, visiting the feiras, and simply spending quality time together.
Those experiences taught me the importance of family, community, hard work, and enjoying the simple moments in life.
These are values that I have carried with me throughout my life and into my career.
I have also made it a priority to pass those traditions on to my own children. I have taught them to speak Portuguese, we travel to Portugal as often as we can, and I want them to understand and appreciate where our family comes from. Being Portuguese is a part of who l am, and I am very proud to share that heritage with the next generation.

What did you study and what inspired you to pursue that path?

I have wanted to be a doctor since I was a little girl. Becoming a chiropractor allowed me to pursue that dream while doing something I truly love-helping people heal and get back to doing the things that are important to them.
What I love about chiropractic is that l am not simply putting a "band-aid" on a problem. I have the opportunity to look at the body as a whole and help people work toward better health and function.
I always dreamed of building my own practice, and one of the most rewarding parts of being a chiropractor is treating the entire family. I love helping someone get out of pain and back to the things they enjoy - whether that means returning to work, picking up their children, playing sports, or simply being able to enjoy everyday life again.

How did this scholarship help you achieve your educational or personal goals?

This scholarship meant a great deal to me because it represented both support and belief in my future. Pursuing a professional education takes dedication, sacrifice, and financial commitment, and the scholarship helped make that journey a little easier.
More importantly, receiving support from within the Portuguese community was incredibly meaningful. It reminded me that there were people who believed in my goals and wanted to see young members of the Portuguese community succeed.

Can you share a favorite tradition, memory, or value passed down through your Portuguese family or community?

One of my favorite memories is spending summers in Portugal with my family and friends. I loved the evenings when everyone would get together, meet at the coffee shop, visit the festas, and spend time talking and enjoying one another's company.
I have tried to bring some of those traditions into my own family. We continue to travel to Portugal, visit the feiras, spend time with family, and enjoy being together. I especially love watching my children experience the Portuguese culture and hearing them speak the language. Make and eat some of the traditional food like caldo verde.
The value I treasure most is the importance of family. No matter how busy life gets, there is always time for family, connection, and enjoying the people around you.

What advice would you give to younger students in the Portuguese community who hope to pursue higher education?

My biggest advice is to always follow your dreams. I wanted to be a doctor from the time I was a little girl, and I never stopped working toward that goal.
There will always be challenges along the way, but don't let fear or obstacles convince you that your dreams are too big. Work hard, believe in yourself, surround yourself with people who support you, and never forget where you came from.
Your Portuguese heritage is something to be proud of. Carry those family values with you, stay connected to your community, and use your education to build the life and career you dream about. If you have a dream, go after it-you never know how far it can take you.

✨ Destaque para um antigo bolseiro ✨

Este mΓͺs, temos o orgulho de destacar Dra. Jessica Cogo, DC e celebrar o percurso que seguiu desde que recebeu uma bolsa de estudo da PAES! πŸŽ“πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή

O que significa para ti a tua heranΓ§a portuguesa e de que forma moldou quem Γ©s hoje?

Tenho muito orgulho na minha heranΓ§a portuguesa.
Algumas das minhas memΓ³rias favoritas da infΓ’ncia sΓ£o as viagens a Portugal todos os verΓ΅es e os momentos passados com a famΓ­lia e os amigos. Adorava aquele sentimento de comunidade β€” encontrar-me nos cafΓ©s Γ  noite, ir Γ s festas, visitar as feiras e, simplesmente, passar bons momentos juntos.
Essas experiΓͺncias ensinaram-me a importΓ’ncia da famΓ­lia, da comunidade, do trabalho Γ‘rduo e de apreciar os momentos simples da vida.
SΓ£o valores que tenho levado comigo ao longo da minha vida e que aplico na minha carreira.
TambΓ©m fiz disso uma prioridade: transmitir essas tradiΓ§Γ΅es aos meus prΓ³prios filhos. Ensinei-os a falar portuguΓͺs, viajamos para Portugal sempre que podemos e quero que compreendam e valorizem as origens da nossa famΓ­lia. Ser portuguesa faz parte de quem eu sou e tenho muito orgulho em partilhar essa heranΓ§a com a prΓ³xima geraΓ§Γ£o.

O que estudou e o que a inspirou a seguir esse caminho?

Sempre quis ser mΓ©dica desde que era pequena. Tornar-me quiroprΓ‘tica permitiu-me perseguir esse sonho enquanto faΓ§o algo que adoro verdadeiramente: ajudar as pessoas a curarem-se e a voltarem a fazer as coisas que sΓ£o importantes para elas.
O que adoro na quiroprΓ‘tica Γ© que nΓ£o estou simplesmente a colocar um Β«penso rΓ‘pidoΒ» num problema. Tenho a oportunidade de olhar para o corpo como um todo e ajudar as pessoas a trabalharem no sentido de uma saΓΊde e funcionalidade melhores.
Sempre sonhei em abrir o meu prΓ³prio consultΓ³rio, e uma das partes mais gratificantes de ser quiroprΓ‘tica Γ© tratar toda a famΓ­lia. Adoro ajudar alguΓ©m a livrar-se da dor e a voltar a fazer o que gosta β€” quer isso signifique regressar ao trabalho, ir buscar os filhos, praticar desporto ou simplesmente poder voltar a desfrutar da vida quotidiana.

De que forma esta bolsa de estudo a ajudou a alcanΓ§ar os seus objetivos acadΓ©micos ou pessoais?

Esta bolsa de estudo significou muito para mim, porque representou tanto apoio como confianΓ§a no meu futuro. Seguir uma formaΓ§Γ£o profissional exige dedicaΓ§Γ£o, sacrifΓ­cio e compromisso financeiro, e a bolsa ajudou a tornar essa jornada um pouco mais fΓ‘cil.
Mais importante ainda, receber apoio da comunidade portuguesa foi incrivelmente significativo. Fez-me lembrar que havia pessoas que acreditavam nos meus objetivos e queriam ver os jovens membros da comunidade portuguesa a ter sucesso.

Pode partilhar uma tradiΓ§Γ£o, memΓ³ria ou valor favorito transmitido pela sua famΓ­lia ou comunidade portuguesa?

Uma das minhas memΓ³rias favoritas Γ© passar os verΓ΅es em Portugal com a minha famΓ­lia e amigos. Adorava as noites em que todos se reuniam, encontravam-se no cafΓ©, iam Γ s festas e passavam tempo a conversar e a desfrutar da companhia uns dos outros.
Tenho tentado trazer algumas dessas tradiΓ§Γ΅es para a minha prΓ³pria famΓ­lia. Continuamos a viajar para Portugal, a visitar as feiras, a passar tempo com a famΓ­lia e a desfrutar de estarmos juntos. Adoro especialmente ver os meus filhos a vivenciar a cultura portuguesa e ouvi-los falar a lΓ­ngua. Preparar e saborear alguns pratos tradicionais, como o caldo verde.
O valor que mais prezo Γ© a importΓ’ncia da famΓ­lia. Por mais ocupada que a vida se torne, hΓ‘ sempre tempo para a famΓ­lia, para criar laΓ§os e para desfrutar das pessoas Γ  nossa volta.

Que conselho daria aos estudantes mais jovens da comunidade portuguesa que desejam prosseguir estudos superiores?

O meu maior conselho Γ© que sigam sempre os vossos sonhos. Eu queria ser mΓ©dica desde pequena e nunca deixei de trabalhar para atingir esse objetivo.
HaverΓ‘ sempre desafios pelo caminho, mas nΓ£o deixem que o medo ou os obstΓ‘culos vos convenΓ§am de que os vossos sonhos sΓ£o demasiado grandes. Trabalhem arduamente, acreditem em vocΓͺs prΓ³prios, rodeiem-se de pessoas que vos apoiem e nunca se esqueΓ§am das vossas origens.
A vossa heranΓ§a portuguesa Γ© algo de que se devem orgulhar. Levem esses valores familiares convosco, mantenham-se ligados Γ  vossa comunidade e usem a vossa educaΓ§Γ£o para construir a vida e a carreira com que sonham. Se tΓͺm um sonho, vΓ£o atrΓ‘s dele β€” nunca se sabe atΓ© onde ele vos pode levar.
