Semester 2 session 7

Either "The greatest thing that ever happened to me" or "The funniest thing that ever happened to me".

The biggest thing that ever happened to me was jumping out of a plane. Last year in August, I jumped out of a plane. This skydiving is the craziest experience I’ve ever had in my life. It took 15 minutes by plane to admire the bay of Les Sables d'Olonne and the surrounding islands. 50 seconds of fall, for a lot of sensations. After the freefall descent, there were 5 minutes of sailing before returning to land.

The greatest thing that ever happened to me was when we rescued a lady with Mathilde and had to call the fire department. We left the crous quietly as usual and there we see a lady fall. So we ran to see her and asked her if she was okay, she told us she was fine, that she had just fallen. So she began to get up. I was then that we saw that his foot was totally off-center. We made her sit in the grass, I got behind her and spoke to her. During this time Mathilde went to look for a cook from the crous and called the 15. Then the lady lost consciousness for a few seconds due to the shock I think. Then the firefighters arrived and we took charge. It was the first time that something like that happened to me and in these moments you have to act quickly.

Not much has happened to me, but i can talk my best memory. It was a rugby match 4 years ago, the regional final -16 of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. This match opposed Saintes and PHL and the match was played in Pons, on the stadium where i started rugby a few years ago. I remember the special atmosphere of that match, it was crazy. I was so focused in the game that i felt it only lasted a few minutes, i will remember this day all my life.

So you are a superhero.

The biggest thing that ever happened to me was the accident on the way back from the holidays. For the holidays, last summer, my parents my brother and I left for the Asterix Park. When I left, my parents offered to drive me for the way home as I was driving with my. So I agreed to drive the five-hour ride at night. My parents had initially decided to take the country roads instead of the highway to avoid that it was always on the straight and that I would then become less concentrated. After driving for about three hours, on a winding road in the middle of the forest, wild boars suddenly cut in front of the car I was chasing. The car in front of me was therefore pounded except that I didn’t have time to react especially since I had not paid attention to the wild boars. I then got into the front car and the car behind me also got into me. Besides, the other two cars didn't have much except ours which was crushed on the front and the back. In the end, we went home in taxis, fortunately there was no injury !

So at first no, I didn't want to drive again, it scared me. But with time my fear passed so I could get back to driving

It's nice, the strongest are still the firefighters. We just helped a little.

One of the greatest things that ever happened to me this is my first time in the United States. It was at the 2019 summer, I went to San Francisco alone to join my host family. It was two retirement people who welcomed me as their own son. I visited many places, tasted many things mostly fast food and I played basketball with american players. Visit United States is one of dreams and I was able to realize it so it's really great !

The biggest thing that my trip in Guadeloupe in 2019 with my family and my cousin, it's my first time when I take the plane. I have stay ten day in Guadeloupe. I visited the beach, I have eat a Guadeloupe food, I have made diving, barbecue on a boat and I have sleep in a vila for 8 persons with pool and jacuzzi. For my last night I was in a hotel in the mountains, my bed was in a tree. It's my favorite trip and I would like return in Guadeloupe

I think that the greatest thing that ever happened to me is to have participate at the French judo championships twice, the first time was amazing for me and i will remember of this day all of my life, indeed for this competition i left for a weekend in Clermont Ferrand and we slept in a hotel with my dad before the competition, the amazing thing which happened was that i talked with my dad in the cafeteria of the hotel about my coach because i was at the French championships and no one from my club could come with me so i was alone for the competition, and next to us there was a woman, and she asked to me if i wanted that she coach me, i said yes because it’s really important to have a coach ! After saying yes i learned that she was a coach of the French judo team, it was unbelievable ! thanks to her and these tips i won several fights at the French Championships.

The greatest thing that ever happened to me is the suprise birthdays for my 18th years old. i go back home durant an afternoon and i found my entire family and my every friends and more particularly my grand mother because at this period she has an cancer and she didn't have the strength to move herself of hospital, so his presence was the most beautiful thing possible and it was my last anniversary with her. This birthdays is the best moment that ever happened to me, because having all your family around is the best thing.

Once upon a time there was a young man named Khaled Hammouten and once this young man wanted to make a joke but it did not go as planned ...When I was younger with my friends we used to have fun ringing in people and then running (we weren't the smartest) but this time it was one too many times. After ringing in elderly person, we ran away but this person followed us and found us later this person threatened us with a gun and telling us that he had already been to jail. At that precise moment I had become a status I could not move anymore, I was so scared.After that, I ALMOST never did anything stupid. End of the story

I'm going to tell an incredible story that happened to me when I was 10 years old. One Saturday morning in the summer, my father went to get the horses and put them in the backyard, which is pretty standard. We had 3 horses, and at the time, Dad had only brought one. This mare was called Negrita, it was about 30 years old. Very happy to come home, it ran all over the garden. I went out of the house to see what was going on, I saw it come close to the inground pool that was covered and fall in. It probably thought it was solid, or maybe it wanted to cool off. It wraps herself in the tarp, I start screaming. It struggles for no more than 5 minutes, and makes about 50 holes in the pool. We call the firemen but they had no idea how to do it, it is true that an intervention like that does not happen every day. In the end, all ended well, we give him a sugar and it is left to gallop!

The funniest thing that has ever happen to me is certainly also the scariest. One time when I a kid, I was hanging out with my friend late in the afternoon. We decided to visit what we called a « haunted house », wich was just an abandonned house with zero paranormal stories or anything, but imagination as a kid is infinite. So we walked in laughing and making the tough guys, but as soon as we heard doors clapping and footsteps all around us, no one was tough anymore. We started running out of the house and yelling so loud. Looking back, a few days after it was so funny because it was certainly just animals but on the moment it was very scary.

You just reminded me of an event that happened to me when I was around 14. Not far from where I lived there was a disused quarry which was fenced off and closed because it was dangerous, so obviously my friend and I liked to get through/over the fence and throw/skim stones in the quarry. We did it often occasionally seeing a guardian in the distance. On one day when we were playing around we heard a barking dog and two ferocious looking Dobermans came charging towards us. I was between my friend and the dogs and I shouted out to run. I've never run so fast. One second I was 20 metres behind my friend and the next I was overtaking him and climbing the fence. We both got out safely, but I still wonder what I'd have done if the dog had actually caught up to my friend. We never went in the quarry again.
