Holly Kilgore CP #1

 

CP #1

My conversation partner was a student named Moctar Ouedraogo. Our first conversation was Sunday, July 19, 2020. For this discussion we talked about our hometowns and what it was like respectively growing up where we did. My hometown is Tallahassee and I talked about how I wished to leave the city at the first chance I got. Moctar did not tell me specifically where in Burkina Faso he was raised, but he talked about where the country was (along the western coast of Africa) and what it was like. He said that he missed his home and that he loved growing up where he did. The funny part about that conversation was that Moctar seemed honestly surprised when I said that I wanted to leave. He told me that the weather where he grew up was similar to Tallahassee, but it was hotter. I honestly could not even imagine that. Moctar also told me that he was a student at Tallahassee Community College and that he was going to transfer to Florida State. He wants to major in business. He wants to open an import/export business. I told him that I was not quite sure what I wanted to do. I would love to do something community-centered, but right now I am trying to figure everything out as they come.
