Are applications supposed to be anonymous?

Mmm, just a sly secret: I joined partly because I wanted to work on my public speaking skills. I have a habit of getting overwhelmed and my brain works faster than my vocals can and I stumble, also partly due to some childhood speech problems that have carried over. I knew I needed to learn how to present my ideas, facts, and opinions to large groups who I’m unfamiliar with. Did it work? Eh, I was in love with giving tours so that’s all I really took away from it. But I’m sure it did help and I had a blast doing it and that’s what counts. Speaking is still coming around, even at this age I are an engineer after all!

Also, I met someone my fourth year, it was his first year: he basically ran me down in the middle of Thornton and said he remembered me from a tour and that tour sold him. That was one of the best days of UVa, by far :)
