I am beyond grateful for your generosity, which is allowing me to grow, learn and develop the right tools from the great teachers that are always encouraging me to push myself harder to reach my full potential. Training towards a professional career in dance is something that I dreamed of since moving from Brazil to Canada four years ago, but I would never be able to afford it without this scholarship.
My scholarship has opened doors for me to be able to compete… more stage time is something I know will push me to reach a new level in my dancing. I am most grateful for the chance to train and perform under such wonderful mentors and I would most definitely not be able to do so without a scholarship… extra freedom financially is such a gift. Thank you for believing in me with a full scholarship award.
I think a lot of kids my age struggle with feeling they are sometimes left out, especially in the ballet world. Despite our differences, we are all reaching for the same goal, and we all share a deep love of ballet. Thank you to… the Goh Ballet Canada Society, this scholarship allows me to continue to focus on my training and gives me the confidence to follow my dreams of becoming a ballerina.
As much as I love ballet and dream of big roles in performances, it was hard for me to do so. I’ve never seen someone from Filipino descent leading a show… this new campaign of inclusiveness and diversity, it’s giving me hope…Thank you for investing in my future. This will help me grow as a dancer and it makes me feel very happy that my hard work has paid off.
