-: The years that I spent here at
Virginia Tech were invaluable to me.
I think the things that I learned here,
or the things that were instilled in me
was a love for knowledge, a love for learning.
I was exposed to so many different
types of learning styles and information
that it was really helpful for me.
It almost gave me a language and
a way of thinking about learning, I think,
that I've applied to everything.
Learning something new every day
is kind of something I try to do
and a lot of that I contribute to
the time that I spent here.
Also, I knew I always wanted to
do something to help people, I wanted
to be the helping profession, whatever that was.
I think that my time here very much
helped me focus my efforts and helped me
learn where my skills were best utilized.
Medicine turned out to be the way that that worked out.
Also, just making service to my community
and service to my fellow human beings,
again, it very much solidified
that concept for me as well.
And it also gave me tools to kind of
pursue that route, that path, I guess.
