My Carolina Experience: Yael Averbuch
Posted Sep 17, 2014
Yael Averbuch: "Carolina completely transformed my life. I learned a lot about who I am, what is most important to me, and how I want to live. It had always been my goal to be a professional soccer player, but I realized at UNC that there are a lot of other things in life that are equally as valuable. Carolina gave me a great education and also taught me how to learn and how much more there is to learn."
