     Korean student Yong and I met for our last tutoring session at Starbucks near CIES from 7-8:45 PM. We had talked about US government in the past and he was interested in learning more. Before our meeting, I had told him to research what the Electoral College is. At the start of our session, I had him try to explain it to me. I then used that as a springboard to talking about how the presidential election works, the three branches of US government, levels of government, how bills are passed, checks and balances among the branches, and political parties. Politics is one of my interests, so I'm quite knowledgeable on the subject. This is a difficult, convoluted system that even few Americans can explain. Yong did great at conversing about the subject, asking questions, and understanding. He is clearly an advanced speaker who has broad interests. I know he'll go far in both his studies at FSU and in life in general. I'll very much miss our sessions!
