“I was raised to work hard to earn what you want in life, and VMI fit that mentality perfectly. Everything is earned at VMI, not given. It presents challenges and opportunities that no other school offers but also presents unique rewards and benefits. I knew that the work I put in at VMI would better myself at the end of four years, ultimately leading me to decide that it was the school for me."
