For my final meeting with Saeed we met, yet again, at Starbucks. The last time Saeed and I had spoken he had told me about his desire to go on a trip during his short break between sessions; luckily, he was able to. Saeed told me that he and a friend drove all the way up to New York City and that he was very excited to see Time’s Square. Along the way they stopped off for a day in Washington D.C. and saw the White House. I asked him if he was able to go in, but evidently tours are only on certain days. On their way back from NYC Saeed said he stopped off in Atlanta and was particularly excited to see the Coca Cola building, the CNN building, and the Atlanta aquarium. We talked about the concept of a road-trip and whether or not I had ever been on one, I have, and whether I have ever been to NYC or DC, again, I have. It was fun to compare notes on our experiences. After our travel talk Saeed asked me to help him go over some new vocabulary, and we went over each word’s part of speech and I helped him create an example sentence. It’s interesting to note that when Saeed learns new words the most difficult part from him is pronunciation; he had particular difficulty with the word, “acronym.” It has been great fun to watch Saeed grow in his confidence, and a delight to spend time with him over the past few weeks.
