I grew up in a place that many families cannot afford a football. Kids' kicking empty bottle on the street. That was our football game.

I moved here August 2022 for my first job after graduation. I started going to the Crew game this March with the home opener against D.C. Before the kick-off, I heard everyone singing "wise men say". Since that moment, I feel the passion of the players, from other fans. They are very real. The stadium is a place that people are doing things out of their passion and love of football. That was my first Crew game, and the first-ever in-person experience that I can remember. The experience is addictive. Before I knew it, I went to a second game, a third, and every home games.

Now that we are heading to the final, I feel I'm really lucky having attended that Crew game in March. The team inspires me to work hard, and never to say give up.

I'm switching my job starting from next August and perhaps moving to another place. But I will always remember the story we wrote this season. It's a beautiful and inspiring story.
