Why I joined: I joined HOA because I respect the goals and mission of this organization. If it were so that entities can only be a part of the solution or the problem, HOA is definitely a part of the solution.
My favorite thing about UVa: The diverse terrain and layout. I was utterly exhausted the first time I came to UVa. The hills, the stairs, the ways in which the buildings all looked similar were all a huge mental and physical challenge. But once I became accustomed to the Grounds, I started to appreciate the layout and the natural terrain for offering an experience in itself. It is truly a magical place and when one takes the time to acknowledge how intentional it is, its mind blowing.
Looking Forward To: I am looking forward to meeting new people until the day I graduate. Some of my best conversations and funniest moments have been shared with people who I was meeting for the first time at UVa. Most people that go here - may it be professors, staff, or students - are very interesting people. I guess this can be said about most places. Yet, I feel that this University with creates a community and environment that fosters friendship, respect and openness.
