The results have just fallen. Regional (IDF) and departmental (Seine-Saint-Denis) gold medal for the young Loïc Dothe. And yet it was not without difficulty that he went through these trials! Originally from Aulnoy-lez-Valenciennes, where he still has all his ties, the 19-year-old absolutely wanted to do something with his hands, move forward, after his bac S. It was therefore after having carried out plumbing work at home and having acquired a taste for it that he embarked on a plumbing CAP with the Compagnons du duty in Paris.
Loïc explains having ” adored »Be able to share all this knowledge with colleagues and teachers. ” It is not a contest to be done alone, it is to be inspired by others, to take the best of them. »Curious by nature, he likes to have a line of conduct that will allow him to acquire knowledge throughout his career. What interests him in plumbing is being able to touch everything like heating or air conditioning.
A difficult test, at a distance
Loïc had to face the difficulties related to the health situation: the lack of contact with the former companions of duty, this lack of exchange and transmission of knowledge. ” This distance has played, I could have learned new ways of doing things! »He regrets. But he did not let himself be defeated! It was his internship supervisor who suggested that he register for the competition last February. The idea appealed to him. ” I was starting from nothing. Except the desire to learn and the motivation to do well. And finally I come back with two gold medals. And maybe I hope for a third “. Nationally this time around.
« I had a thousand reasons not to do a project, but I overcame everything to succeed “. It was after his working days, between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., that he spent more than 350 hours to the realization of his project. He did it from his parents’ garage, with little equipment and a workbench. This project allowed him to become an aspiring companion. He will therefore be able to embark on a four-year adventure during a Tour de France with the Compagnons du Devoir. ” With motivation and the desire to learn, we can succeed », Concludes Loïc Dothe.
