"Henry is progressing! Joyce and I were just talking and remembering back when Henry first expressed interest in Champions QUEST and going through the initial evaluations. Big differences. As parents we try to step back and look at all the pieces that make up Henry and we know that last year his athleticism and his confidence about his athletic abilities was weighing on him. And seeing him ask for Champion’s QUEST, stick with it, put a lot of value on his commitment and see the results has been such a confidence boost. I know that your efforts and role with Henry have taught him about being thoughtful, setting goals and doing the work.
Just two weeks ago Henry made the Academic Decathlon team at his school. That is a big deal for him given that he beat out a lot of kids including a handful of his buddies all of which are really good students. The reason I mention this is because you and Champion’s QUEST have had a big influence in developing a broad set of tools for Henry. Academics have always been a place where Henry thrives. But in a real way Henry has often been under-challenged in school and maybe has not had the need to develop effective academic work habits. But with Academic Decathlon, he was up against a fair amount of competition from classmates and students a year ahead of him and he stuck with it and was able to balance all the other responsibilities and manage his time and make the necessary sacrifices. The lessons and reinforcement from you and Champion’s QUEST totally helped give Henry the necessary building blocks.
Long way of saying Thank You. Your role in Henry's journey to become a good, confident and capable man is very much appreciated. We all know Henry is a young man of few words, but I can say with absolute certainty he is very thankful for you Champion’s QUEST."
