Sophia is unrecognisable from the person that started her college journey back in 2024. Her tutors beam about how far she has grown in her time at college, commenting that she was reserved when first arriving and now has the confidence to speak out and have her voice heard in class.
She chose to study at RuTC because of the range of subjects available and reputation of her chosen course in Travel and Tourism.
Her hard work and positive attitude have allowed her to make new friends, participate in extracurricular activities and shine in a new environment.
She has taken full advantage of the college support network, participating in regular one-to-one sessions and being led by the guidance of our friendly staff. She comments, “The support really helped me come out of my shell.”
Sophia is proud to wear the RuTC Travel and Tourism uniform, being part of the team of designers, and is super pleased with the facilities provided by the college to help her succeed.
“Everyone is warm and friendly”
Sophia comments that she “enjoys all the different aspects of college life” and “the atmosphere is very, very welcoming.”
She is her own inspiration, surprising herself with her abilities and contentment. “I think everyone has inspiration somewhere inside of them, they just have to believe in themselves.”
Sophia is passionate about becoming a train driver or conductor in the future and is grateful to the college for helping her on the course to doing so. She joyfully exclaims, “Go for it! RuTC makes you feel at home!”
