Unlike other Hokies‚ I did not tour Virginia Tech before applying. In fact‚ I didn’t even know where Virginia Tech was before I started applying for colleges 2 years ago. I just knew this school was for me. It felt like a place where I could dream big. Getting a postcard from a senior Hokie before coming to Virginia Tech made it all the more incredible. Two years later‚ I will write these postcards for our new accepted Hokies myself. I also have done community service related activities every semester

It intrigued me because I used to go to the beaches around Virginia and would

1st Nov‚ 2013 John Smith – The General History of Virginia‚ New England and the Summer Isles After reading the excerpt from John Smith’ book I wondered what his intention was to write this book in the way he did. Did he really want to tell how his exploration looked like or did he try to push himself into the spotlight and to gain fame by describing his deeds like a heroic saga? Was John Smith more an attendance-seeker than a serious explorer‚ who just wants to state the facts? Right at the

After reading through the book “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales‚” by Oliver Sacks‚ one chapter in particular really stuck out to me for a few reasons. This book reminded me of the TV show “House”‚ where this doctor gets a bunch of unusual cases and has to figure out what is wrong and it seems like Oliver Sacks in this book. This whole book I found to be extremely interesting and hard to put down so it was tough to think of one chapter to focus on. I decided to narrow
