STUDENT SPOTLIGHT!

Name: Taqi Alghawi Hometown: Al Qatif, Saudi Arabia

Why did you choose the University of Arizona? I applied to a few different universities. This is the first one that I heard back from and I heard it is one of the best ranked universities.

What are you studying? I am planning to study chemical engineering.

If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? I would want to own my own business and make more money.

What do you like best about Tucson? There are two things I like about Tucson: the people here are very nice, and I don’t like cold weather.

What do you miss most about your hometown? I miss my family, my friends, and the specific culture of my city.

What are some things you hope to do while you're in Tucson? I want to get involved and be a part of the community. I want to find a way to volunteer to help improve the community.

What do you tell your friends back home about living in the United States? It’s a big challenge between managing your time and doing so many things by yourself. Back home you are always spending your time with your family or friends, here you own your own time, and spend more time by yourself.

What is one thing that CESL students should know about you? I always put myself up for a challenge and I don’t give up.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT!

Name: Zayed Alajmi Hometown: Hadiyah, Kuwait Level: 7

If you can choose to live a short and fulfilling life, or a long but boring life. Which one would you choose and why? A short fulfilling life because life is an opportunity and you can only live once.

What was the scariest thing you have ever experienced? When I nearly drowned and almost died in our backyard pool. I had to go to the hospital because of this near-death experience.

What is one thing that you can’t do without for a whole day? Playing FIFA; its because it became a daily habit in my free time. Studying is more important though.

What makes your country different than America?

The culture is the main difference—the laws are also different. I’ve realized that the manners change in a big way when I came here.

What is your goal in life? My goal is to get my Bachelors in Geology and live a happy life.

Ask CESLQuestion: Why should I get involved with student activities at CESL?

Answer:

Ac#vi#es  are  a  way  to  prac#ce  your  English.  

You’ll  be  speaking  with  students  from  a  different  country  than  you.  The  only  language  we  all  have  in  common  is  English!  

The  ac#vi#es  are  a  lot  of  fun.  

We  like  to  go  to  Mt.  Lemmon,  sports  games,  theatre  performances,  art  places,  water  parks,  and  many  more  locaCons.  These  acCviCes  will  make  your  Cme  at  CESL  more  memorable.    

They  let  you  explore  Tucson  and  learn  about  the  USA.  

Tucson  offers  many  unique  experiences.  All  of  the  student  workers  plan  trips  so  that  we  can  all  enjoy  learning  something  new  about  Tucson  and  American  culture  together.  

Ac#vi#es  help  you  get  connected  to  other  students  and  the  community.  

One  of  the  best  parts  of  going  to  the  acCviCes  is  that  you  can  meet  other  students  who  have  similar  interests  or  think  differently  than  you.  Not  only  do  we  learn  English  from  each  other,  but  we  also  learn  about  life  together.    

So,  how  to  get  signed  up:  

Go  to  cesl.arizona.edu/ac#vi#es  to  see  which  acCviCes  are  happening  on  the  weekend.    See  you  at  the  next  one!
