When I applied for a scholarship at Larita Academy, I was looking for guidance. I wanted to learn how successful people had built their pathways in life and understand how I could shape my own future. I was searching for direction and practical advice from people who had already achieved a lot in business, art, and leadership.

From the beginning, Larita showed me that success does not happen overnight. The most valuable part of the experience was hearing directly from people who had built their careers through persistence and determination. Listening to their stories helped me understand that success is something you work toward step by step, not something that arrives by chance.

One moment that has stayed with me was hearing an artist talk about facing setbacks and continuing anyway. That story stood out because it showed me that resilience matters just as much as talent. It changed how I think about challenges and made me realise that setbacks are part of the journey, not the end of it.

“Success doesn’t come overnight, but with persistence and determination.”

Larita helped me understand the importance of planning my pathway early and staying consistent. I learned that setting clear goals and sticking with them can make a real difference over time. This is something I want to apply to my education and future career. I now see the value in discipline and building habits that support long-term progress.

Since completing the program, I feel more confident about my future. Instead of waiting for opportunities to appear, I feel capable of taking steps toward my goals. I have become more focused on school and personal development, and I am more open to opportunities that help me build skills and confidence.

“I now feel that I have the ability to take steps toward my goals instead of waiting for opportunities to come to me.”

Larita also helped me realise that success does not come from waiting for the perfect time. It comes from choosing a pathway and working hard at it. Even small daily habits feel important now. Staying disciplined and setting clear goals has become part of how I approach everyday life.

Through the Academy, I learned that I am capable of pushing myself further than I thought. I discovered that I do want to be a leader in my own way. A turning point for me was understanding that every successful person started small and faced challenges, but they did not give up. That mindset shift has stayed with me.

“Larita Academy showed me that success is possible when you stay consistent, determined, and open to learning.”

If someone is thinking about joining Larita Academy, I would tell them to go in with an open mind and take notes. The lessons and stories you hear stay with you long after the program ends. For me, Larita gave me clarity, confidence, and inspiration to keep moving forward in my own life.
