"My advice to BVGA students - Coming from a working class background, I knew I had to work twice as hard as someone more privileged than me to get to where I wanted to be in life. However, I never let that deter me, and I want you to know You too can achieve your goals only if you make sacrifices and put the effort in. Your future starts today!"

"Remember to keep your options open whether it is studies, degree programmes or your future wishes. When applying to university, I liked the idea of engineering and pharmacy and was happy if I got into either programme, I created a cover letter to convey both interests. Finally, explore all avenues through your support network of teachers, extracurricular activities, and events outside of school, most importantly have a great time whilst doing so!"

"You can achieve anything you put your mind to. Make educated decisions about your future and work hard to fulfil your goals. Remember it is never a one-way street. If you decide to choose a particular field or subject and later find that it is not for you, there are always other options out there for you to find what you enjoy."
