The first pass the French bac, write it first and then speak it. Like thousands of adolescents, Manon also passes the tests. Except that she lives in Saint-Barthélemy and that there is no high school on her island.
After college, many choose to go to Canada or to metropolitan France. Manon, who was born in the Antilles, decided to take a homestay in Saint-Martin. Being relatively uneducated, the arrival at the private high school of his new island was quite hard. Oral program: Baudelaire, Laclos or Racine. But the favorite author remains Hugo with "The last day of a condemned man", who denounces the death penalty: concrete issues, an anchor in real life that changes fiction and that Manon appreciates. STMG's career in management gave him concrete ideas for professions: working in a cosmetic laboratory. She is now ready to leave her native Antilles to train in mainland France, but in the south, the sun is forcing. This project gives him the motivation to hang on, to have a good file for future registrations and to be ready to show that the young people of the Antilles have ambitions and character because his weekly round trips by boat have also allowed to grow. Manon frequents all circles, is not afraid of anything and is interested in a certain harshness of everyday life. In Saint-Martin, poverty is more visible and present than in Saint-Barthélemy and his relationship to money has changed. This maturity and this sense of adaptation are points that young Saint-Martin residents must value. Their own difficulties can serve them as assets in their future orientation. _HM
