The incredible fate of a person handicaped : Gérard Fougerouse.

First of all I want to say that I did'nt find a  Gérard Fougerouse's interview but I decided to speak about him because his ife is a continuation suite of incredible accidents and  in spite of his handicap he kept the taste to live. Here ,is the link of its official site :  http://www.gerard-fougerouse.org/ . A short biography of its life redrawing his accidents:
Gérard Fougerouse was born on June 20th, 1953. In 1969, following an accident of ski, he(it) meets in wheelchair. In 1972, after 3 years of reeducation, he walks with a simple cane. In December, 1972: car accident. Return in the wheelchair! In 1975 after 3 years of reeducation he remarches with crutches. Then in 1979 the third accident: fall of staircases, a cane slid. Definitive goodbye in the position up. Return in the wheelchair.
The first comment which I am going to make is: Waouu, which adversity! Three times he undergoes more or less grave accidents and following every accident he manages to surmount his handicap and to re-walk. His third accident deprived him any luck to be able to re-walk a day and it seems to me that to become handicaped for life is much harder to accept contrary to a born handicapped person.  Moreover, he had had some hope twice and his morale would have been able to be at the lowest.. Nevertheless he has not stopped to believe in his dreams and continuous henceforth to travel worldwide. New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Tahiti, New Zealand, Djakarta, Bali, Bangkok, Prague and finally Geneva. This is the list of all these journeys. After his accident he opened a store and he painted. He didn't  intend to go round the world in spite of his handicap. Even for a person normal, to go round the world is a difficult thing because it is a long journey, but Gérard fougerouse has no renouçé is wanted to prove to everybody that a person handicapped person to make everything as a normal person, and because only the courage makes the strength of a man.
This man is an exceptional person who decided to live normally. His courage has to be an example for us all !

Cool places to hang out in Grenoble :)



Grenoble is a municipality of the southeast of France, former capital of "Dauphiné", capital of the French Alps. It is the main city of the second conglomeration of the region Rhône-Alpes after the city of Lyon.
Grenoble is an active city: Several festivals, in diverse domains, take place in Grenoble. In the musical domain with for example Grenoble Jazz festival which takes place every year in March or the Rocktambulle festival which takes place every year in October.In the film domain with the Festival of the outdoor Short film of Grenoble, Place Holy André who takes place at the beginning of July.But still in performing arts with the Struck Cabaret which takes place the second about fifteen July, in the City garden etc.
 Then, a thing important for me , it is the shopping. In Grenoble there is numerous stores situated for example placeVictor Hugo and even of everywhere in Grenoble. There is even a center reserved for it who is called "Grand Place".
Then, Avenue of Valmy there is the Stadium of the Alps, with the capacity of 20 000 places and considered as one of the most modern stadiums of France.We can also go to spend the afternoon in the ice rink  "South Pole" or go to the Sports center situated in the park Paul-Mistral.
A last place to be visited, the most known in Grenoble, which makes its characteristic: the Bastille which is a strong serviceman of the XIXth century dominating the city. This place is accessible in cable railway by "bubbles", these "bubbles" are known as much as the Bastille itself! There we can visit numerous gardens.
Now you can go everywhere you want in Grenoble and have fun!

My first homework

My name is Amicie Béal and I am 18 year old. I study modern literature at Stendhal university in Grenoble. I really enjoy what I do even if the first month wasn't easy. By leaving the high school we are not really prepared to be totally autonomous current and we have to manage a big freedom. It is a good thing to learn to manage everything but on the other hand this freedom frightened me because it is necessary to urge me deeply to work!
I actually live with my mother in a small house situated next to Bourgoin Jallieu , so I take the train every day. I hope to find a collocation for the next year because the routes every day are too impressive.
Concerning my family , I have a sister who is 23 years old. She lives with her boyfriend and studies the architecture in Lyon. My parents are divorced since my childhood, my mother is a professor of French and my father works in a chocolate factory in Chambéry.
Concerning me , I would like to become a primary school teacher because for me it is important to teach the educational bases to young children and I would like to supervise them to help them to grow. I can not say that I have hobbies because I do not practise a sport, I do not like reading even if that countered strange because of the sector network in which I am. But I like to go to the cinema and go out with my friends and my boyfriend .
 My favorite quote is "Start change in you, what you want to change in other" Gandhi, it is important to feel good to be able to build something with others persons.
The End .
