The fifth session with Ahmed did not go as well as the
others. He forgot to bring his essay, so instead we went over vocabulary for
the TOEFL. It was not interesting for either of us, so we gave up after
explaining the fifth word. Instead, we talked about what Ahmed thought about
current events, especially about recent shootings. We talked about this for
about thirty minutes, because Ahmed has a lot to say about these events. He
thought it was bad how many people blame attacks on all Muslims, but he has not
personally been called out while in Tallahassee. Ahmed raised a lot of good
points in our discussion, and I think this speaks to his high speaking ability.
He is very precise when he talks, and I think this is a good skill to have in
graduate school.
