accountability. Individual achievement is
encouraged and celebrated by the entire
team, giving all members a sense of pride.
Now, as a young woman and recently
graduated member of Virginia Polo, I credit
the programme with contributing much
to my growth in becoming a determined,
independent and well-respected polo player.
For many years now, Virginia Polo has
been a powerful and constant force in my
life. When I think of Virginia Polo, I think of
home, which is a place where good memories
are created. A place where you can walk
through the door to a safe, comforting space
that allows you to take risks, push limits and
develop your personal potential. A home
keeps one grounded. It is also a place where
you can make mistakes and learn from them
with the support of your family. The RBVN
Scholarship afforded me this home.
What started as something I dreamt of
being a part of has instead become a part
of me. Thanks to the RBVN Scholarship,
I have had the privilege to co-captain a team
that embodies excellence and dedication to
their sport and to be president of a club that
is welcoming and supportive. The friendships
I’vemade will last a lifetime, as will the lessons
learned. I am who I am today because of UVA,
Virginia Polo and the RBVN Scholarship. As
polo continues to take me around the world,
home will always be Virginia Polo.
