Sophie CP #3- Rayan

For our third meeting Rayan and I met at Starbucks again. As much fun as it was to show him All Saints, it's much easier to meet up when there's a Starbucks across the street from where we both take classes. We talked a lot about sports this time, as there was a soccer match coming up that he was pretty excited about. Like with Elia, I told him about how I played lacrosse. I explained some of the rules and tried to compare it to soccer when I could. I used to play soccer too, so it was pretty easy to do so. I showed him some pictures of me and the FSU club team, and explained the difference between men's and women's lacrosse. I also told him that if he's still in Tallahassee this fall when the club team hosts our fall tournament that he'd be welcome to come and watch with some friends! Unfortunately I probably won't be here to be able to go with and explain what's going on throughout the game. Rayan also told me about some of his experiences playing soccer, and I showed him some places online he could check out to find a league in the area. I've met several international students through IM soccer- it seems like something everyone can bond over regardless of where you come from. Unless you're fans of rival teams of course.
