December 15, 2011, the G25 stage (training group) took the same oath as the United States President takes during his inauguration. Not going to lie, I still think that is so cool. Not only did we all look like rock stars in out matching pagne (African fabric) outfits but this was a televised event at the Ambassador's house. I was chosen to give a speech in Gourmatcema. At first I wrote the speech in French and my language professor translated it to Gourmatcema. By the time in was in Gourmatcema I really didn't know what I was saying but I practiced it enough times with him that it sounded pretty cool. Apparently some people were even able to understand me because I was greeted in Gourmatcema one time on the street by someone who had seen me on TV. Again, pretty cool.
