Keunhwa CP#2


Date/Time: Tuesday, Sep. 1/ 02:30~03:15

Location: In front of Strozier at FSU

Topic discussed: The first classroom observation, how to use Strozier and exchanging each other’s experiences with teenagers

Cultural topics you and your partner learned: 
Nahid and I met in front of the CEIS building and walked to Strozier.  It took only 5minutes to get there. I was surprised to see a Starbucks coffee shop inside Strozier.  The reason was that I could not see any logo for the coffee shop in front of Strozier and in my country I could not have a similar experience.  I told her that having a brand coffee shop on the first floor seemed to be unfair to other local coffee shops.  Even though there are several brand coffee shops in a Korean university, they are outside a library.  She said that it was convenient for students especially in examination seasons.
She volunteered to give some advice to teenagers in need and I was a middle school teacher for many years. She and I talked about how to treat teenager as a friend and adult. We agreed that forming rapport s vital. I felt adolescence is difficult everywhere.
