My first meeting with my partner Alicia Nava for the community service was truly successful. I did the same project last semester so this time I know how to make it better with more productive and achieving a better result. I went to the library at 4:50pm (because we agreed to meet at 5pm, I just wanted to be prepare so I came early) at the lobby and was waiting for Nava. Here she comes! The first time I saw her, I knew that she was Nava because she was wearing the physical plant uniform. She came exactly at 5:00pm; she made her first impression with me.
This was our first meeting so basically, we tried to know more about each other because we would work with each other for the next 11 weeks. She told me that she would love to go by Alicia than Nava so I call her Alicia from now on. She is from Mexico and came to the U.S. 30 years ago. Wow! That is such a long time. She has been living at Fort Worth since then and she still has her relatives in Mexico. She usually comes back to visit them when she has long break such as Christmas or summer. However, the fact that she has been working for TCU for 15 years even made me more surprising. 15 years at TCU, she has experienced many changes within the school and many differences since then. Right now, her job is housekeeping at Waits. She is married and she has 3 children, two girls and one boy. Her boy is studying at TCU since last semester. She has the same hobby as me soccer. She loves soccer and we were talking about different soccer teams in Latin America.

She is an easy going and open-minded person. We laughed all the time. She told me that she came to the U.S. for 30 years but she hardly knew anything about computer. I told her that I would do my best to help her to be good at computer after this semester.
I expected that it would be a successful meeting but actually I went beyond my expectation. Last semester, I had problems with my partners and sometimes it made me frustrated. However, this semester, I believe that I will have a wonderful and successful project with my partner.
