    Dear Brandon Stanton or Editor of Humans of New York:
    For our project, Humans of New York I have decided to expand our horizons buy introducing a
    new aspect for our blog that is focused on interviewing college students around the country. For
    this, I have developed a series of questions for an interview with a student at the University of
    Arizona. His name is Humoud. Humoud is from Kuwait City. This is a country in Western Asia
    that shares borders with Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Going into the interview, I knew I did not want to
    ask many questions to my interviewee. Instead, I wanted to make the interview more of a
    conversation. While conversing, the topic of sports was brought up by me, after I asked him what
    his favorite sport was. After much discussion, I found out that this topic happened to be a
    passion/hobby we both have in common. As a result, I decided to focus on the community of
    sports through the eyes of Humoud.
    Humouds favorite international soccer clubs are Manchester City, and Barcelona. He told me
    that his favorite players from Manchester City were Sergio Agero, Raheem Sterling, and Yaya
    Tour. From Spains team, Barcelona, his favorite player is of course the best soccer player in the
    world Lionel Messi. We agreed on this since we are both great fans of the team. Humouds
    community of sports is an ever-growing community, that only gains popularity as new
    generations are born.
    Kuwait is a very wealthy country in the Middle East, and like many countries around the world,
    have fallen in love with the sport of soccer. Soccer is a very popular sport in Kuwait. Many
    people who live there have created a passion for the sport. The country of Kuwait has created
    The Kuwait Football Association (KFA) or the main governing body of any football team in
    Kuwait. The mens national football team was able to gained popularity after competing in eight
    AFC Asian Cup competitions, and after participating one time in the FIFA World Cup of 1982.
    Basketball is another sport that has progressively gained popularity in Kuwait. This is due to
    competing in the FIBA Asian Championship. Kuwait has become one of the most popular and
    successful basketball nations in the entire middle east. The sports of cricket, rugby, and handball,
    are progressive sports that are becoming more popular amongst the citizens of Kuwait.

    I wanted to present a story where I could show that despite being from another country, we all
    share a common interest within multiple worldwide topics. I wanted to make Humoud feel at
    home, by showing him that we shared common interests such as sports. This way I am creating
    an environment where he doesnt feel like an outcast but instead feels he is at home, away from
    home.
