University of South Alabama

Today I went to a USA recruiting session. I asked questions and so did several of my peers. It really opened my mind up about the university. Even though I did not see my major on the early program page, it made me want to look deeper into a back up plan. I look forward to hearing from them more!

The Deep Discussion

   Today in class we were asked multiple questions, they were pretty deep. The questions were based on fear. I loved today's conversation because I got to learn more about my peers.

One of the biggest similarities between the U.S's winter break and Afghaistan's is how excited all the students are when it finally comes. A major difference is how some students stay back to take voluntary winter-courses. I'm assuming it is something like summer school here without the volunteering. Further along in this chapter, Amir discusses the kite flying competitions that would go on. There was a contrast shown between Amir and his father when Baba asked Amir if he was going to win the tournament. This obviously ignites something in Amir to want to win, yet it suggest that the fire was not in him prior to this conversation. Now, we reach the part where we find out why Amir really wants to win. It is not to live up to his father's past accomplishments, but to gain that fatherly attention he longs for. The chapter ends with a meeting being held in Baba's of...
