The Georgia College Early College (GCEC) made an impressive sweep at the Foreign Language Association of Georgia Speaking Competition in Savannah, where 10 of 15 competitors attained the highest score of “superior.”
This achievement speaks volumes about the students' professionalism and proficiency in Spanish and French, qualities that evidently impressed the judges and set a high standard for excellence.
Special recognition is due to the parents, Mr. Gutierrez and Mrs. Lua, GCSU sophomore Paola Martinez, and GCSU professor Dr. Rosado, who volunteered their time to assist in the student's preparation and accompanied them on this educational journey. Their contributions played a pivotal role in readying the students for the challenges of the competition, underscoring the importance of community involvement in educational achievements.
Celebrating their hard-earned success, the students and their supporters enjoyed a well-deserved authentic lunch at Rancho Alegre Cuban restaurant. This was not just a moment of relaxation, but also an opportunity to immerse themselves further in the linguistic and cultural diversity they had showcased during the competition. Following the meal, they took a stroll down River Street, allowing them to reflect on their accomplishments and the enriching experience of the day.
