I met with Paola on June 21st, 2021 at Sweet Shop on campus after her CIES classes for about an hour. Our first session was meet and greet style as we introduced ourselves and learned a little about each other. She is an advanced speaker from Venezuela and is starting school at Florida State in the fall. We talked about her experience so far in the US and what some of her challenges are living here. She said that she needs to work on her writing skills and wants to improve on summarization. Going forward I want to find engaging stories or videos to review with her to work on those skills. She speaks pretty quickly in English so I will have to be quick in correcting her if I catch a mistake! I'm excited to work with her this semester.

Her biggest issue is speaking and having conversations, so today was all conversations and reading. Jeah read a couple short stories and we just had a conversation about them.
