Antoine De Saint Exupéry Born on 29/6/1900 Écrivain

29 June 1900
On this day, Antoine, Jean-Baptiste, Marie-Roger comes into the world as an aristocrat descendent of Jean, Viscount of Saint-Exupéry and of Marie of Fonscolombe. But despite this inherited nobility, the adult Saint-Exupéry will much prefer to be a humanist. In his eyes, “everyone, although they use contradictory words, has the same passions. We distinguish ourselves by ways which are the product of our reasoning, not by our aims: they are the same.” Based on this observation, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry aims throughout his life to realise his role and responsibility within the human community. He abandons this aim in so far as becoming both a pilot and a writer, always between heroism and obligation, choosing instead to value himself in terms of his existence, by worldwide acknowledgement as a literary master.

This year I finish College and go straight on to Kingston University in London. It is my first time living away from home. It proves to be a new experience which leads to further ambitions and interests, especially travel. 

This same year the tensions between Muslim communities and British foreign policy come to boiling point with the terrorist attack on the London Underground.
