My last meeting with Jon

I met with Jon for the last time on Friday with Katelyn. We talked about him going to K-State for Aircraft engineering and what its going to be like starting all over again. He has had many different experiences starting over, from coming to the USA in the first place to when he was young moving from DR Congo to France, to India. From what he indicated most of his friends that are graduating from IEP will go back home to there own country's anyway. So although he is a little nervous to remake a large amount of friends when he just made a bunch here, if he stayed he would be one of the only ones. I found that interesting that a majority wanted to go back to there own countries. With English being such a worldwide language I can understand wanting to learn it, however it is interesting to me that after being in a different country for a couple years, you would want to move back. Now I don't mean to say "Our country is so great why would you want to leave?" I mean more along the lines of I'm interested how advantageous it is to speak English around the world. Going back to Korea, for example, are you really that much better off now that you know English? What worlds have opened up to you? I would assume that you would work in some kind of business or service industry where English would be be a connection between your country and another. It was weird seeing Jon for the last time. We had gotten close in the 3 months we where partners and most likely I wouldn't see him again. It was a learning experience however the biggest thing I took from that is when it comes down to it, people are people and we really are not that different. We all enjoy hanging out with friends on weekends, getting good grades, and making new groups of friends we can hang out with.
