Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and
Nahid learned: She asked about my
weekend, but I did nothing special because I had a lot to do for this
course. I said to her that I was feeling
down with no reason. She listened to me
carefully and let me take my time to tell my feeling and she told me about her
roommate who had difficulty with getting along with her boyfriend. She advised her that nobody could solve her problems,
so we had to find solutions by ourselves.
I totally agree with her. It’s me
that know the problem very well and do something to resolve it. She gave me a paper with a piece of poetry
which was originally written in Spanish but was translated into English by her
for me and an image of a pigeon inside many hands. It made me open and relaxed, so I told her
that I was depressed. She said that she
was, too. And she shared her mother’s
advice when she is gloomy. That is go
volunteering right now. While I was
talking with her, when I go back to Korea, I would volunteer for people from
other parts of Asia or refugees from North Korea. She has clear and assertive goals in her
life, I’m sure that she will make it.
