-: The Virginia Tech experience was like no other,
and I remember giving tours when I was a student here
and, you know, when it comes to Virginia Tech,
Virginia Tech is a large institution,
and I think that can be very intimidating
for a lot of people,
because they're like, well, how am I going to make my mark.
Especially if you were heavily involved
and influential in your high school,
how do you come to an institution of over 30,000 students
and how do you make your name for yourself?
But the beautiful thing is going to a large institution
you are able to do as much
or as little as you possibly wanted.
So I went as big as I could, you know,
and so I ran for class president,
and fortunately had that opportunity
to serve as class president.
Then running for, or getting
heavily involved in German club,
my fraternity, getting heavily involved in
the Big Event here at Virginia Tech.
I ended up serving as the co-director
my senior year of the Big Event,
ended up as the chairman of
the commission on student affairs senior year,
then was able to be homecoming king
as the huge support of the German club.
It was not me, it was the German club,
So I think that you could really make it your own,
and I think that that's one way to sum up
the Virginia Tech experience is
that Virginia Tech has something for everybody.
You've just got to find it,
and you have to motivate yourself to find it.
