After three years of preparatory classes at the “Pierre Corneille” high school in Rouen in the PC program, I joined the French Air and Space Force Academy's class of 2018 to pursue the mechanics program. The first two months of integration were a completely new experience that allowed me to push my limits with the help of group cohesion. This cohesion is strengthened by the fact that we live on the Air Force Base, which allows us to be more involved in each other's multiple and varied experiences. Life on the base is spread between academic training, military training, and moments shared over various activities.
