How long have you been playing for the C.W. Post men’s soccer team?

I have been playing for two years.

What was your first impression of Post?

My first impression of Post was that the facilities here are very nice. The academics and soccer team are very professional; we have doctors for the team.

How do you feel about Post now?

Since the season is going well this year, we are a little bit more satisfied with the soccer.

What lesson(s) will you take from Post?

I have learned that, not only in sports, [but] also in academics, if I work really hard, which I have done in both soccer and school, I will get really great results.  I have a great internship, and I will get a lot of opportunities and good experiences.

What is the best memory you have with the team?

I have a lot of good memories with the team.  My most recent [one] was coming home from Bentley after we turned the game around and won. We sung the whole bus ride back to Post.

What do you want to do after you graduate from Post?

I want to work here, in the United States, at the United Nations, which is a great place to work for as an international student.

What will you miss the most from Post?

I will miss the soccer team and the new friends I have made, [both] on the field and in the classroom.
