Immigration

 

Our class was assigned to interview an immigrant. I decided to interview my squash coach Mahmoud Yehia. Mahmood Yehia was born in Alexandria Egypt I wasn’t that close with Mahmoud and I was excited to learn more about him. 

First I needed to come up with a lot of questions. I checked over them and I found a massive problem with a good portion of my questions, all of them are closed-ended questions. The problem with closed-ended questions is that they are a waste of questions. I had to go over all of my questions and changed all of them. I now had to schedule a time to meet with Mahmoud and interview him. 

I talked with Mahmoud and set up a time to interview him. I met him at his squash courts. I asked him about his life, some of my questions were what is your favorite food in America and describe what it was like leaving your family. I learned a lot about Mahmoud. I learned that Mahmoud has a cousin who is a famous singer in Egypt, his show name is Mohamed Mounir. Now that I have all my information I can start the next step of my immigration project. The Next Step of my immigration project is creating a video, that is pretty much a biography of Mahmud Yehia.   in my video I would Say all the answers to my 15 questions to ask and when we met up.   

 Overall I learned a lot about Mahmoud Yehia, I learned so much about him and I’m really really excited to show him my video.
