As I sit in my office and contemplate the small miracles that appear against the concrete sidewalks of grimy life, I rejoice when I reflect on these stories.
Tyrique, seen in this video (Link may only work for some of you), is a product of a program I launched on the island of Dominica. Michael Pascal took charge of the program. So many students there have availed themselves of the boarding school opportunities. They have done so well. I am thrilled about that legacy. And should you all get a chance to enjoy that lovely island, enjoy it. Dominica is a special place.
My next pole of reference is all about the Chai twins. Their story would be the history of Versan's services. I met the twins at the start of their high school careers at Immaculate. I was actually working with their older sister whom I had placed in boarding school at Kent. They too would ultimately go on to attend Kent, leaving ICHS as Valedictorian and Salutatorian. I guided them through boarding school, and then on to MIT. Both girls. They are now, respectively, Drs. Lauren and Elaina Chai of MIT and Stanford. I was invited to their oral dissertations. Proud Mama Bear. I salute their parents who invited me along their journey for several years. From prep school to the doctorate....incredible!
THE BRAMWELL TRIPLETS
They were featured on Morning Time, 2/19/2024....Another miracle. One doctor, two lawyers. Spectacular. I remember when an English teacher at Tivoli called Versan and asked me to help them find their way overseas. I believe it was the Rotary Club that jumped in and financed the triplets. Now look at the outcome of thir journey. A father who had been murdered, a single parent trying to fend her way through poverty....and the miracle of the outcome!
