First time I saw the list of the letters for this challenge, and that I saw "Someone who changed your life", I saw his name, and only his. Because I know that if I live all those beautiful days, things, etc.. it's because I met him 7 years ago.
I met Matthias when I was a Senior in High School. I had to think, at this moment, about the years after A-Level ... I choose Cultural Mediation, a crazy name for an "unknown" thing (I accept all the comments saying "what does it mean?", since my first day in that school I hear "Oh, it seems very interesting, but, what is it ?") I filed for the school without believing in it... and received a letter saying I was invited to pass the test. It was in February 2003.
I took the train and the sub, and then walked to the 13, rue de la Grange Batelière... Went upstairs, and was welcomed by Matthias. He was the one who was "taking care of the students". I was charmed from his first word.
I filed for another school in the same time, just in case, and was accepted there too. I decline and choose the EAC, just because the second school didn't have him !
I always had a special relationship with him and still have it. And I'm proud of it. I know that he will always be there for me. How do I know that ? How am I so sure of it ? I don't know, but I can feel it !
Here is my letter for that man, who, one day, changed my life !
My dear M.,
Am I still the same than 7 years ago ?
Do you know that I choose the EAC because of you ? And, I don't regret it, not at all. I remember how excited I was for my first day there ! Knowing in April that I will be a student of the school motivated me so much for my A-Level !!
And then, the English weeks before the real back-to-school day. You helped me to find myself ! We were joking about lunch, I told you it was bad to eat standing up, you asked me why, I tried to explain it to you and said that it will be easier to write it.
Deal.
And I became the Professor Pom2Pin. I don't know if you keep all those crazy papers ...
You told me you liked it and I wrote a lot of other papers like this one during two years, it was good.
Little by little, the Professor died. Sometimes I try to bring it back to life, but it's impossible.
4 years later, graduate, but with no job.
I left for Lyon in September 2008, we kept in touch. Oh please, don't leave me, never !!
Back in Versailles in July 2009, I was able to live that crazy year (and go every morning to my internship that was at 100 m of the EAC in Lyon ... and welcoming some students who were looking for an internship in Promotion because they were student in Cultural Mediation in a little school of Lyon ... EAC isn't it ? Was I asking to myself with a big smile in face... Jérôme was asking me " - Do you know that school ... ?" "-Yesssssssssssssss !!")
I met new friends thanks to the EAC.
Jarring because of the EAC.
TIME because of the EAC.
The EAC because of you.
I will never be able to thank you enough for all those things you made for me, even those you have no idea ... A smile, a kind word, a reproach, an advice... Thank you.
I love you Matthias, and I hope I will see you soon.
