Briggs CP #1



I attended Ramin and Josh’s combined speaking class. It was fantastic! Talk about a cultural melting pot, I loved it! Zoe and I met with two young ladies, one from Saudi Arabia and the other from Columbia. They each asked us how we felt about adoption. Then we asked them their views. We all felt pretty similarly about the subject. The hour flew by. Everyone seemed to enjoy the discussion in our group. The young lady from Saudi Arabia seemed to feel more comfortable asking previously prepared questions so I engaged her in conversation by returning the questions she asked us.  I learned that there are no taxes in Saudi Arabia and women are not allowed to drive cars. Having her input made the conversation more well-rounded.  I enjoyed hearing everyone’s input as I believe did the others. The students were as interested in finding out about our ‘American views’, as Zoe and I were to find out about them.
