Hi, my name is Anastasia Goncharova. I am 17 years old. I first visited the United States in 1997 when I was 15. I was invited by Mr. Allen Edwards, president and founder of the Educators Basketball Association. I knew Mr. Edwards was a good person when I met him and that I would meet other people with the same character as Mr. Edwards, my basketball coach and personal trainer.

Under Mr. Edward's tutelage, I have developed great basketball skills and schools like the University of Hartford, Princeton University, Georgia Tech, and the University of Maryland Baltimore County are very interested in my academic and athletic skills. I am presently a student at Newport School, whose girls varsity basketball team is highly ranked in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

This opportunity would never have been presented to me if Mr. Edwards and EBA weren't there to lead and guide me. I just hope other young people get the chance to change their life like I have.
