I quickly learn French the second weeks from the guy who was our host. In the computer workshop we learn about document management, installing and testing software, removing virus from computers, and lot more. I already knew some of these information from my past learning, so the workshop was very easy for me throughout the program. I was promoted to be one of the adviser by the manager. I didn’t have the chance to complete the program, because I and my family was in Senegal to get a visa. I even took a computer class at BRCC that was beneficial to what I previous learn.
