Small Miracles



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!

EXPLORING NEW OPPORTUNITIES AT RICE
