Ursula Lemarchand

Ursula Lemarchand. I'm going to talk about my favorite hero who is Ursula Lemarchand. She is a young dancing French girl (Angers*).

Mmap of Angers

Ursula was born 1990 in Angers. She studied arts and went to an art academy, to the Florent's classes, in order to become an author and an actress. At the end of 2013, she had an accident. She fainted and she fell on the railway. Then, she was amputated from her two arms. She overcame a real ordeal between hospitalization and rehabilitation, but she became stronger like a princess. During a night, she took her computer and wrote with her toes in her bed at hospital. Her handicap helped writing her play. With her friends she was able to be on stage in Vidauban in 2014.

For me, Ursula is a heroine because she never gave up. She is a brave girl, and really strong. Her life did not end on that tragic day because she raised her head. It showed that even though you are handicapped, you can continue to live without abandoning your dream. People nicknamed her "The Armless Princess". In my opinion, it is a nickname that suits her because nine months after this ordeal she has found herself playing.

I find that she is a very strong girl because she has not given up. Losing a part of your body or having a cancer can make you stronger. My dad got cancer. This is why her story moved me so much.
