This
semester my classmate and I went to Foxdale Village with our teacher Ruth. It
was a great experience to me to meet and interview an American woman. I thought
it would be difficult to talk with senior people whose native language is not
the language you have as a mother tongue. In fact, I felt so happy when I
talked to the woman I had interviewed whose name is Bube. We spent the time
asking each other about everything in our life. I am glad to meet woman how
understand the new generation life style. I hope every student who is going to
go to Foxdale village or trip to similar center to get the advantages of being
in America and speaking with native speaker. There I asked Bube many questions
and we spent a lot of time talking about international students.
In
1940 when Bube went to special college that teach only religion for that reason
she did not meet international student from Middle East. Although she met a lot
of international students like her husband who is from German, she did not meet
anyone Arabic or from Asia. She says," I did not meet Arabic people until I
moved to State College 10 years ago" (Bube). When she moved to Foxdale
Village, she started to meet many students who are from different country.
According
to Deb Haught there were 11,000 students in University Park in in 1969 and 453
of 11,000 students were international. On the other hand, these days there are
more than 600 Saudi students according to Saudi association. It was a hard job looking for Arabic club in
the past a few Decades. According to year book for 1983 there was as Arabic club
in Penn State University and the responsible of that club was Hashem Abdullah,
but now every Arabic country has its own club.
