<p>I know one problem that you may immediately detect in my profile is the apparent lack of focus. I can assure you, however, that my primary passion is science and a secondary passion, political oratory and public speaking. This was made clear (I believe) in my essays. Thanks for any and all responses.</p>
that shouldn’t hurt too much though</p>
