I was recently looking to through archive pictures, and stumbled on a old picture of my class – from when I was 18 (I’m first from the left on the second row) just after I moved to Strasbourg coming, straight from the Caribbean

Though I truly hated prep school (classe prépa – it was tough adjustment, 5000 miles from my family), it’s interesting to see where the people in this picture went, from Sebastien (OpenAI), Marie (Thales/Jolt) or Francois-Xavier (Goldman Sachs.) I have a fond memory the math teacher Thierry Schwarz – the most tranquil force I’ve ever met – despite the Bourbaki-style nature of Maths Sup teachings that got me angry at maths for a long time (before the elegance of Fourier transforms reinvigorated my interest.)
