Life, recent โ†’ old

1991 โ†’ 2009 โ€” Growing up into an adult, somewhat

Born in a suburb of Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Very happy growing up in some countryside landscapes, surrounded by cereal fields and a gigantic garden with fruit trees everywhere.

Enjoying the heck out of school timeย and extra activities, fencing, basketball, swimming, tennis, chess, airplane modelling, video games ๐Ÿค“

Traveling also, Madagascar ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฌย and Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช, to visit the family, or the occasional school or friends trip, Rome ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นย and London ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

16yo, parents divorced, completed high-school in a boarding school in Normandy.

2009 โ†’ 2011 โ€” Going through hardcore times

Moving to Paris, enrolling in prep courses for elite business schools, one of the most competitive after-graduation education system France can offer.

Barely 20yo, the randomness of life hit my family hard: we lost my dad from a heart attack.

Spent the next one year and half plunged in a very deep introspection. Things in me had changed, forever.

Still, wanted to go through to the end with what I started.

Repeated the last year to claim a spot for Audencia, based in Nantes ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, 6th ranked business school.

Celebrated by meeting with friends in the USA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, road-tripping from San Francisco to Salt Lake City then discovering New York City ๐Ÿ—ฝ
