RP has given me many opportunities to excel. I’ve taken part in national competitions, been awarded scholarships, and gone on a sponsored overseas internship. RP has prepared me well to take on future challenges, and this is the reason why I could leverage the knowledge gained at RP in my current degree pursuit. Other than the skills and knowledge gained, I also realised the importance of grit, which has helped me prevail over life’s obstacles to achieve greater heights.
