Van-Phuc Hoang from Germany (Class of 2007)

Before & After

Van-Phuc Hoang is currently studying law at the University of Bochum (RUB). 

How Southwestern Academy helped him achieve to where he is now:  

"Southwestern Academy helped me achieve my goal in a fundamental way. Before I went to Southwestern Academy, school was below my interests. I was rather a lost young individual and doing other things than school was more interesting to me. It was until I came to Southwestern, that I have realized how beautiful it can be to study and getting good grades. I started to read more. The more I read, the more I learned and the better my academics became. I was developing a passion for studies and I can't say in words how much I am thankful for that inner discovery. I am now back in school and I enjoy that more than ever. I never thought that I would ever think in that way."

His fondest memory: 

"There are a lot of great memories at Southwestern Academy, but I think the most influential memory to me was, when I first kissed my first girlfriend (Ana) and fell in love with her."
