Junior Daniel Dibos has had an interesting high school experience. In the summer prior to his freshman year moved from Houston to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Having lived in Houston for most of his life, this environment proved to be very new for him. He was, however, already fluent in Spanish before moving. During his time in Argentina he went to a private international school and played on the varsity soccer team in both his freshman and sophomore years.
