Black History Month Student-Athlete Spotlight: Augustin Edwin, Jr.

In honor of Black History Month, Wentworth is celebrating some of our notable black student-athletes who have made an impact in their respective sports and in the Wentworth community. Today we highlight sophomore Augustin Edwin, Jr., of the men's soccer team.

Why Wentworth?

• I wanted to attend the school that would give me the best opportunity at a job after graduation. Wentworth has an amazing co-op program and a high percentage of their students land good jobs after graduation. It was an easy choice.

Favorite snack?

• Tamarind balls (Caribbean candy)

Your hype song?

• Hopeless by Yung Niddy

Do you sing in the shower or in the car? Or both?

• Both, but I get lit in the car for sure

Is there a tradition, event, or food you enjoy with family and/or friends to celebrate your heritage?

• Normally some of my family comes together on Thanksgiving, but we don't eat any of the Traditional American food like turkey or mashed potatoes. Our experience is more like a Caribbean feast.

Any game day superstitions?

• I always feel like the way I put my game socks on will determine if we win or lose

If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be?

• Alive I would choose Kanye West, but from the past probably Alfredo Bowman

Could you share something about yourself you would like people to know?

• I'm St. Lucian, for everyone who guesses my nationality wrong.
