Abdallah graduated Memorial in 2019 and he comes back on the podcast to discuss his experience coming to America from Egypt and not knowing the language or culture, what some of the biggest cultural barriers he had to overcome were, how his experience in ESL classes was difficult, what most students don't understand about ESL students, his favorite memories from MMMS, and so much more. Abdallah has such a unique experience that's filled with funny stories and at times, disappointment, but it's all shaped him to become the amazing person he is today.

Special thanks for Ms. Greeley and Mr. Nessus for helping organize the questions for this episode!
