8 secrets of succes

According to Richard St John, the 8 secrets of succes are : Passion, Work, Good, Push, Serve, Ideas and Persist.

For me, the passion is very important. I think we have to passionned to light our life pathway. However, Passion is not enough. The most important thing for success according to me is persist. Life isn’t easy, we are sometimes happy then sad. Choices are difficult but we have to do it. To move forward we must be persistant.

After High School, my choices were not very good. I went to university to learn Italian but I stayed only two weeks. Then I did Grenoble’s musical academy and I didn’t like so I left. I left parents’ home, I was in Grenoble in a small flat whit no friends, no lessons and i twas dreadful. To choose between sinkingto despair or moving forward. I took the second one. It wasn’t easy at the begining but I persist and now I am stronger. During this time, I found a job and I worked for txo years in a fast food. Then I decided ti go back to university before i twas to late. I don’t really like my studies but I know they will allow me to do whatever I want. So far persist in this way and the most important, I chose my life.

Informal letter

Dear Ludo,
How are you? I hope your travel is very well.
America is very wonderful and impressive. Here every things is bigger than in France: cars, highways, houses, buildings and macdonald's burgers. You right, America and France are very differents.
I saw the "Grand Canyon", it's amazing and seems unreal. Do you know that you can get lost or die there. Then, I went to Las Vegas, I found it was too much. There are casinos, people, city lights everywhere and everytime. It's the city of dream and expansiveness.
I also went to New York. I like this city, I saw central park, the statue of liberty it's so tall and Braodway!
Broadway is amazing, I could see the stage it was like in my dreams. One day, I will entrance on this stage and I will be a star. Tomorrow, I go to Cindy and Peter's house.
I will try to call you and I will send so soon a new letter.

See you soon
xoxo
Lola

Top tips for freshers!

When I arrived at university, I didn't know any one. The first week was very hard because I was so shy and I didn't speak with students. I didn't go to visit of university so I lost everytime. Then I met students in my class, they learnd to.

Often the freshers think to go at university it's very great because we start school by the end of september and a lot of them forget or don't want to go to visit the university. Know your university is very important. This day a lot of freshers are there so you aren't alone,  you can met your future schoolfriends. Moreover, this day the professor give shedule and explain how it works. The university is a place of meeting and discoveries.

Where you can go

Grenoble is a beautiful city. To discover it, You have to visit la Bastille and to walk downtown. However, the  most important thing is to taste: le gratin dauphinois, la tartiflette, la fondue, la raclette; to discover this food you  can go to restaurant "La ferme à Dédé" (this restaurant is in downtown, adress: 24 Barnave street).  If you want to drink something with friends, there are lots of agreeable pubs in Grenoble. In winter, Grenoble becomes the city of ski. The mountains are covered by snow, it's really wonderful. If you like skiing or if you want to learn, you should go in Vercors. The Vercors is a mountain range closed to Grenoble. You can visit Lans  en Vercors, Méaudre or Villard de Lans for instance, lovely typical mountain villages where there are ski resorts.
