Lila Mandela CP#6

After the tutoring session with Tagyoung, I took the bus to Starbucks to talk with Suyeol from Korea! Though our introductions, I came to find out that Suyeol wants to become a computer animator (so cool). When I told him I majored in mathematics, he soon asked if I would be able to help him in the future with calculus homework. If I have time, I’ll make sure to help him since calculus has now become a part of my comfort zone in mathematics. As we continued on, Suyeol told me that he was homesick. He’s been in the US for five months so I know it can be difficult to be away from home for that long. Thankfully, he has his sister and brother in law nearby to provide some comfort. The last thing I remember him telling me was that he was going to get a haircut this weekend. Suyeol seems like an enjoyable guy but, there were times that I would talk with him and I would need to draw a picture so he could better understand what I was trying to ask him. I hope that he and I can practice more in conversation.
