Very early in the morning I went to the IEP (Intensive English Program) building of the University of Mississippi to interview three of my valued 'Cross Cultural Awareness' classmates:
Name: Elizabeth Graves
Age: 32 (Almost reaching 33)
Elizabeth has a strong presence, white skin and blond hair. Her eyes are blue and she has a normal height. She has been living in Oxford for seven years, she is married and has a five years old daughter who is very sporty.
Concerning Elizabeth’s favorite food, it can be said that there are two main things she loves eating: the first one is chocolate and the other is sea food. Elizabeth’s favorite sport is soccer, and she likes watching her daughter when she plays it. Her favorite sort of music is Classical music, with a special interest in Opera, and she listens to it when she studies. Elizabeth enjoys reading British Literature, and one of her preferred books is Harry Potter. Her favorite movies are those which have mafia as the main subject of it.
Elizabeth’s first degree was related to the education for children with critical needs, which also was one of the first areas where she decided to work on. When being in Austria, Elizabeth met nice people, although they were very distant.
In the future Elizabeth would like to teach abroad or teaching in an American school for several years.
To sum up, it can be said that Elizabeth does have a sense of professionalism and that she will be excellent at whatever she plans to do.

Name: Daichi Misaki
Age: 20
Daichi comes from Hiroshima, Japan, where he rents an apartment by his own. He is originally from Osaka, which is four hours away from Hiroshima approximately and he is a very good user of English. He has been studying in The University of Mississippi for one semester and is staying for this spring term. Daichi’s father has a Transportation Company and works there full time, while his mother is a temporary worker on the same Company.
Daichi is tall and thin, he has got black hair and dark eyes; Daichi’s skin is not white at all. One very interesting thing that happened to him was that when he was in his home’s bathroom, the door locked by itself and he couldn’t get out but with the help of a rescue team, which his mother called after she realized what was going on.
Daichi’s Favorite food is raw fish. His favorite sport is soccer; he participated in a soccer team at his school before he went to the University. Daichi’s favorite color is black. He likes listening to pop music most of the times and he has also read the book Harry Potter, which he enjoyed very much.
In the future, Daichi thinks of taking his father’s company over and he also would like to travel to some other countries to visit new places and to meet old friends.
Name: Evan Russell
Age: 24
Evan, the same as Elizabeth, is a graduate student of the University of Mississippi and he lives with his parents at Pontotoc. Pontotoc is twenty minutes away from Oxford and he has been living there with his parents for two years, after he had been living in an apartment by his own.
A particular fact about Evan, is that he applied to the Air Force because it was enormously appealing to be part of it, actually it was his one of his dreams for a long time. He was not able to pass the health exam because of some blood requirements.
Evan is a very tall person, and he also is thin. He has short blond hair and blue eyes. He has white skin.
Evan’s favorite foods are: shrimp, fried chicken, corn bread and Macaroni cheese. He does not have a favorite color, although he says he likes blue. He also enjoys watching soccer when he has time and or is able to watch some. His favorite music is rock and classic music. His favorite movies are thrillers and mystery movies. Evan loves the serial called Lost, but he does not like watching TV very much.
When he finishes his career, Evan wants to teach overseas. He wants to get married and have some children. He already teaches three courses here in the University of Mississippi.
