What do you know about American Thanksgiving? This is the question of our teacher Chris, to write about the American Thanksgiving. When I started to think of what I will answer for this question, I didn’t find in my mind about the thanksgiving only a little information. Instance, it is a holiday in the United States of America, also the all family meeting together on this day and eat a turkey and other dishes.

    However, I searched about the thanksgiving on the internet. To prepare for my writing about the thanksgiving in America, when the American celebrate for the thanksgiving, what they do in this celebration, and the history of this celebration.

    The history of the thanksgiving in America was started in 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

    When the American celebrate for the thanksgiving and what they do in this celebration. Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, Americans gather for a day of feasting, football and family. While today’s Thanksgiving celebrations would likely be unrecognizable to attendees of the original 1621 harvest meal, it continues to be a day for Americans to come together around the table with some updates to their food menu.

      Today we went to the Ramseyer Hall to attend the lecture of the future of higher education in the United States of America by professor David Staley who the professor in the department of History at the Ohio State University. In this lecture the professor talked about the future of higher education in the United States of America, at the beginning of the lecture Chris gave the attendances brief definition about professor David Staley.

     Professor David talked in this lecture about several things. He talked about the US average spending per student: in 2012, the states paid $ 5,906 and the student paid $ 5.189. He exposed a lot of information about the Online education and the future of this kind of education in the world even in America. He gave many examples to show us the history of the future of the higher education in the united States even in the world.

     I was really interested in this lecture. In my opinion I think the future of higher education in the world is the online education, but this transformation from the traditional education to the online education will face a lot of challenges to be successful and widely used in the world.

     In this weekend I went to the celebration of Saudi club in Columbus Ohio for Eid. I met new people from my country and other countries like Lebanon. We discussed about many things like the life in United States how it’s difficult in sides and easy in other sides. I learned many things from them, how can I search about a new car to buy? How can I use the public transportation in Columbus to reach the important places? And how can I focus on my study and enjoy with other things in Columbus?

     At the end of celebration we voted to a new administration in Saudi club to complete What the old administration do. I hope to the new administration more of successes in them work to help other Saudi student in Columbus Ohio.

     Finally At the end of weekend I studied to my vocabulary quiz. I enjoyed in this weekend with other Saudi people here in Columbus Ohio.
