It's neither my background
nor my environment at all.
I didn’t know anything about it.
I was a literature teacher
for high schoolers.
I was also eager to learn.
It clicked when I saw a video
on the web
that presented an innovative teaching method.
This group of hooded people,
a very masculine group,
though things have changed,
I was not sure I was ready
to take the plunge.
Now I am a freelance
project manager.
As I also had this passion
for literature, for writing,
I was able
to collaborate with alumni of 42
to produce technical writing.
And here is the best lesson I’ve learned in 42:
the freedom of action in a very broad field.
I had the opportunity to become co-founder
of a small entrepreneurial project
that offers works of art and literature
you can download on your phone.
Because on one hand, there are technical skills,
which is very important,
but there is also the people surrounding you,
who come from very different backgrounds.
I think it just opens your mind.
And when I think about where I was
in the 2010s,
I feel like
I belong a little more to this world,
and I’m more complete
thanks to 42.
Thank you 42!
