-: UVA, so you know, I'm a local boy, I grew up here.
I went to Woodberry, I came here,
UVA was certainly very impactful for me
during my naval career.
Aside from the fact that I served
with other folks who were UVA graduates,
I just felt set up for success, despite the fact
that I didn't really pay attention
when I was here, in class.
But still, I somehow, you know, osmosis or something,
I managed to do okay post-graduating.
UVA kinda continued that path
that I had started on, you know, prior going to Woodberry,
which is kinda patterned after UVA.
And even before then,
where I learned at an early age
to grab lessons from every experience, positive, negative,
in between, there's really no such thing
as a negative experience,
as long as you learn something from it.
