Student essay written in en (native language: French, CEFR level: B1, field of study: Lettres)

I have been working for thirty years till I've had a stroke. It was in 2016. It has been a very difficult period for me. I am a handicaped person, now with a cognitive trauma in executives functions. I have accepted it, today. I go slower, need more time to do things, need help too... I can't work anymore as a "normal" person in a company or whatever. Thus, three years ago, I decided to go back to University in order to learn Letters. It would be a new departure for me. A possible one. I like writing, reading, culture, arts. I asked myself, it would be great - a new project of life, and I might progress in my cognitive handicap. So, I tried and I succeeded.
