Hello! This is Rashed.

I am studying in the USA as an international student. I have too many goals that I want to accomplish. One of the main goals I have is to earn a Master's degree in Information Technology, specifically in project management area. One of the hardest challenges that any international student faces is adapting to a new culture.

The American culture is rich in many ways. I met Americans from different backgrounds and I found similarities between us. Studying here in America made me learn things that changed my personality. I became more responsible and less dependent on my parents.

I am interested in games like PlayStation. One of the games that I play is BO (Black Ops). This game has movement and action all the time. With each game you play, you have the option to play with diffrent people online which gives the game a strong sense of challenge and competition.

The second game that I play is FIFA which is a Soccer game. I actually like to play soccer in real life, play soccer using gaming systems, and watch soccer games.

I have two favorite teams, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. I read about them and I watch their games. I went to Real Madrid's match this summer on July 30 which was in Ann Arbor. The game was between RM and Chelsea. I  am glad that RM won the game! It was a great experience and I enjoyed every moment.

My native language is Arabic. Therefore, I'm still in the process of learning and improving my speaking, writing, and reading skills in English.
