                   from the perspective of

                   about his past college

                   When did  you move to
                   Cyprus?

                   I  was just  17 when I
                   moved to Cyprus for my
                   studies. I  still remember
                   my thoughts when the
                   plane landed. I was
                   excited but so afraid.

                   Why did you  move to
                   Cyprus? Did you have
                   any relatives here?

                   My older brother was a
                   student at Casa College.
                   Apparently,  this  pre-
                   determined my future.
