« C’est sûr que je suis plus littéraire que matheuse ! » Actuellement en 1^re au lycée Thomas-Hélye de Cherbourg-en-Cotentin (Manche), Lola Lepresle a été présélectionnée pour la 25^e édition du concours de plaidoiries des lycéens organisée par le Mémorial de Caen. « Une sacrée surprise » pour la jeune fille, pourtant habituée des classements.

Already during the writing week organized in 2020, she had obtained 8th place.Today, it was in front of the camera that she knew how to convince, with a plea on the conditions of migrants in Spain, and the conflict between the Moroccan and Spanish authorities on the situation of the Ceuta enclave.

In the shoes of a migrant

She then slipped into the shoes of a migrant, a habit a little too big for her, but who lived her body and soul.

And his enthusiasm seems to have paid.With only a recorded minute, his first sentences hit the jurors.His argument was pre -selected in the middle of 1,400 others."I was really very happy," she reacts.But afterwards, I understood that it was only one step, that it meant that there was a lot of work left ... "

8 minutes to convince

So she has immersed herself in the first time since September.Encouraged by her teachers, she developed, rewritten, reworked and refined her text."I work a lot of style," she explains.

She is now preparing to record it to post it."I think I'm going to register alone, in a room, to be concentrated.If someone is next to it, my gaze can flee the camera at times, and you might think I don't know the subject.But I will show the result to start again if necessary, ”says the girl.

She then hopes that these 8 minutes will again convince the jury.

"It gave me confidence"

This first step crossed has turned its projects upside down:

All doors are therefore open, and maybe even those of the final!
