Miss Cheronda, will you share your story with us, too? I'd love to hear.

My story...we were both in Bangladesh for work, him a footballer and me in Human Resources for a large corporation. We met but just as friends until he was injured and then became more than friends. That is the short story, shorter!

This is so therapeutic. This is one of my biggest worries. My husband is a footballer (soccer) and I don't know how it will be when he gets here. I don't even know how it works here so I feel so helpless. I think he'll just have to start over in another profession.

Hmmm... Is there a way to get on the US team? Maybe a teaching certificate and then becoming a coach? But that seems such a waste of professional talent. Are there any local/regional leagues?

I was thinking of going the coach route too but I think he can play maybe 1 or 2 more years and he loves the game so much that I really want to encourage it. I need to research the "lay of the land" more when it comes to football.

I don't plan on being at the interview. For Lagos, the petitioner can't attend anyway. I pray that all goes well. Lagos is SUCH a difficult place and I'm trying not to stress!
