"One year ago, I received the Ryan the Lion Ocampo Scholarship, I remember freezing from joy when I found out. When I first started training, I watched everyone in awe, never imagining I could do what they were doing; little did I know, I would. As I trained, I grew into a new version of myself, more disciplined, more consistent all through the supportive of the VRTU community beside me. Every class brought me closer to the person I wanted to become, and it remains one of the most exhilarating and meaningful experiences of my life.

Thank you VRTU."
