yes this is an interesting thing

that we will come on to yeah i'm just parking that for a moment yes yeah but if you wish i can i can also i can also briefly explain it's just you know it's it's not really you know, surprising.

It's just that when you're in the French school system in Senegal, basically they value more scientific topics like mathematics, physics and things like that.

And I was good at it.

So, you know, the fact that I was also good at the other topics didn't really matter.

So I didn't know what to do after my studies.

And so let's say that the right choice for the teachers at that time was to tell the students to go for what we call the French preparatory school, so classe préparatoire, so that's what I did.

So it's mutually beneficial.
