The Boys Return Home



DK, Oscar, and Salil have arrived back in Vienna. They left our company on Tuesday. We are sad to see them go, but we know we will be with them again in a few weeks and continue the mentoring process.

DK did a great job playing golf here in the states, and expressed his strong desire to come back next year and go to school. He played in 3 tournaments. The first was a qualifier for the US Amateur, unfortunatley it did not go so well for him and he did not qualify. However he recovered well a few weeks later and finished tied for 10th in the Missouri Junior Amateur. Then we drive to Dallas where he played really well on the first day, not so good on the second day, and then had a tournement best round on the third day to help him place 3rd overall in the tournament, only 2 shots behind the leader. After the first day the Dallas Morning News even wrote a featured story in their golf section about him. Check it out...http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/golf/stories/071907dnspodallasjuniors.30ef757.html

As we were driving to the airport, he was asked what is favorite thing about this summer was, he answered..."All the driving, because we were able to communicate and talk a lot."

Oscar had a great time at soccer camp and was invited to possibly play at Washington University. Stephanie and are are looking forward to starting the College search with Oscar and getting him into a school that is a great fit for him. If you have some college soccer contacts, please let us know and we will see if it is right for Oscar. His favorite thing about the summer was the time he spent at Shiloh Christian Children's Ranch with Stephanie's family.

Salil also had a great time at soccer camp and is looking at school's not as competitive as Washington Unversity. Thomas, is going to be working more with Salil during his senior year. We only spent 10 days with Salil, so we don't have as much to share about him and his summer but his favorite thing about his time with us was the chance to see a few universities (see below).
There are plenty of pictures to come....stay tuned!
