WHAT: With my classmate went to the Capital building which is located in downtown of Richmond Virginia. We went by bus that taked us from the campus of VCU to the building, when I arrived there I was surprised seeing beautiful statues inside the building. Of course when we arrived to the building we met man who work there for a long time and he was so gently to teach us many things about the building. I was happy being there and learned new things.
SO WHAT: Really I learned many things that I cant forget.
THE PARTICIPANT: It was different for me when I saw the Capital building on image, but in reality I liked it too much. in the first floor we saw the planing of the building then we went to the second floor then to the third floor. The building has many things, images, structures, meeting room, Internet room and small canteen. I think third floor is the most important floor in the building because there is JORGE WASHINGTON statues and 8 president statues. Also there is a room had pictures, one of the pictures talked about the war between AMERICA and BRITICH it was on 1781, America got helped from French then they won. The other picture talked about captain John Smith who was the famous soldier in the war was famous of saying ” no food for lazy people ” that’s mean everyone must work to get food, in America there is 50 states government. VA, KE, MA,BINSELVANIA are commonwealth which its mean we must follow the writtens low. The man who work there talked also about two of the 8 presidents. the first one MADISON: he is smart man and short. the second one MONOROE is the president on 1920 he said ” give more power in South American. in 1976 the standing figuers flag of Virginia. Dons is very common in United States. Mase in 45 over 5 states its English idea and it used in America, the government keep it until now to remind them in old government and histroical sympols. Gov in Virginia are part time worker because the idea to live in outside living world. then he talked about two rooms, 1- house member room which is informal room the members can talk and jokes with each other 2- senare champer room and its informal room. we went to the informal room then we made the argument about Obama speach when he said all American must have health care insurence, we learned the system how to talk and asked quiestions then how to vote. there is three bottons to vote green, red and yellow. green if yes red if no yellow for nothing. it was a good experinse to me to know things new and work with gorup.

WHAT:- All the people were good with me, there is a lot of actions hapened in the communety but what observe me is how the older people relationship with each other. Actually it was a perfect relationship they are look like one body they work together love each other recpect each other and they are friendly. The place is very nice, middle weither for all and has a classes, food, water and baths. I feel as a one of them the same if I want to go to my familey that I feel comfortebel when I talk really I loved the place and the people.
SO WHAT:- THE PARTICIPANT:- many things I learned from LLLI, I learned that older people can do things even they are old. For example; the video that I saw about older people do. the dancer he still teach people dance and his movement still flaxible, the man who play athletics and he won three times also they teach me the orginal American culture I mean the corect one that they lived on it and still on them, I learned the none verbal communication in reality and how its important in USA. I think this experience is the most important in my life.
THE RECIPIENT:- I was thinking that the older people are boring and they are arrogant as the older in my country they think that they know everything in the world and because you are younger than them you no nothing. Here in USA the people are completly different they listen when I speak, they want to know something new, they are intersting in other countries culture, they want to make relationship with international people, they teach me when I make mistake that not the end of the world keeping trying is the key to do the wright things. Most of them were happy because I will get married on DEC they gave me a wedding advices. For exampl; the wedding adresses, the ring, places for honymoon. They were racing to find for me the best shop for wedding in VA.
THE COMMUNITY:- Because their is a lot of people I didnt talk with, I think the class need to increase the time or to make it twice on the week.
THE GROUP:- I belive work as group is 100 % effective and the result is better than one work. All the members that I worked with were soo good and they were helping me when I made mistakes also helping me with the work how to be good enough for the older people and the class. The most Arab culture is the same so if the Arabic people together is good to the listener to understand because when I was with another student from another nationalty after we present the people asked me question not spose to be for me.
NOW WHAT:- What I was thinking about is what the older love to do and what they are perfect on ? I think everyone love to do something will have good information on it and perfect to do it. For example; my grandfather is a good cook, he love cooking so when I visit him I aske him about food how to cook, about his intreset. My grandmother loves sewing I aske her what is the material that you use for a good dress.
