9 VYE Light Up Bootcamp 2011 has completely changed my perception of entrepreneurship. Not only did I receive wonderful guidance from a Stanford professor, have the chance to listen to inspirational talks of successful businessmen, but also learned a tremendous amount from fellow campers. During the one-week bootcamp, my group studied, ate, slept, and worked together to develop our project on environmental-friendly bricks. I was able to approach new, wider perspectives and get a better understanding about my passion and myself. Thank you VYE for giving me an invaluable experience Nguyen Hoang Truc My, Green Bricks 8
