Meeting up with Mahsa doesn’t seem
like a chore anymore. She is a really nice girl with a lot of ambition for her
future. I envy her dedication to CIES and her goals to get into Florida State.
Today we met briefly as we walked
around campus because it was a beautiful march day and we both had only a few
minutes to spare. We talked about fashion because I complimented her on her
scarf. She told me about the day she bought it in Iran before she left in a
market commonly knows as “shuks” in Iran and most of the middle east.
I was
familiar with this because I, too, had shopped in a shuk before in Israel. We talked
about the different styles of dress in the USA vs the style in Iran. I already
knew about the religious hijab but it was interesting to hear it from her
perspective. She holds her culture to the highest degree and that is admirable.
We split up before she had to run
to her next class but it was nice to see her again.
