cp 3

On Sunday May 22^nd 2016, I met Rashad at Starbucks on Tennessee Street. I recognized Rashad from Mr. Wilson’s beginner speaking class, a class that I observed on May 2^nd almost three weeks ago from our current meeting. After some small talk, I asked Rashad what he would like to review for our tutor session. Rashad clarified to me however that he was meeting me as a conversation partner and not as a tutee. So instead of going over grammar or vocabulary, Rashad and I talked about Tallahassee, his home country of Kuwait, and other things people talk about when getting to know each other. I learned from Rashad that he once played for the Kuwait national soccer team put had a knee injury at the age of eighteen that stopped him from playing soccer at the international level. I also learned that Rashad was one of seventeen siblings in his family and that one of his older brothers has long hair just like me.
