The first
official topic after the presenting each other, was "College Life".
I was in the chat room for this topic, I chatted with an American freshman student named Cullen, he is a young African-American student, he is in ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Course) that gives him the opportunity to go to college but he also has to serve his country (the US military pays his tuition fee for college in exchange of his duty in the U.S Army), his major is Political science and his minor is Military science. Later in his life he wants to work in International Affairs (especially concerning Arabic countries, he studied Arabic for a year) at the Pentagon; the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense based in Arlington, Virginia.
He explained me how his week is composed; he has 14 to 19 hours of studies.
I learned that he loves football, he roots for the Carolina Panthers (based in Charlotte, North Carolina) and he totally hates the New England Patriots (given that the latter had beaten them in the only Super Bowl appearance of his beloved Panthers in 2003) We talked about the NFL season that was taking place during that time (It was a bit off topic, but sports are very important in the American life)
He was a great guy, I apreciated to talk with him because he was really focused on his future and he was willing to make his dreams come true.
