Trip to Foxdale

How did this trip compare to the expectations you had before you went?

Before I went to Foxdale, I thought I will not enjoy there. After I went to the Foxdale and met these people, I enjoyed . I like the person that I met, she told me some stories about herself. She told me that even she is 90 years old, she wants to complete her master’s degree at Penn State, she motivated me to complete my master’s degree at Penn State. I like her motivation because in my country when people reach the age of  60 or 90 years old, they think only about their  job and retirement.

 What did you enjoy?  What was challenging?

I enjoyed this experience because I have never experienced  like this in my country. The thing that challenged me is that  I misunderstood some of the vocabulary because the topic that we were discussing was about religion and I did not know what  kinds of religion she was talking about. The thing that surprised me was a person I met who knew everything about my religion Islam, she was talking to me about it.

 what advice do you have for future IECP students taking a trip similar to this one?

 I like this trip I hope IECP plans the same trip every semester because it is helpful to the students to practice their English..

  I appreciate my teacher Ruth who  helped us to go there and meet these people. I will not forget that enjoyable experience.
