What made VT/Blacksburg special to you?

I know that April 16th is a tough day for us all as we remember what happened and the grief and pain we experienced, and the exceptional people that we all lost that day. Something that resonates with me is how close and supportive the community was in the aftermath. I remember being particularly proud of how it seemed like the entire nation realized what a special place Blacksburg and Tech were.

I had an idea and I hope you'll join me, if you'd like.

Post a reply about what made you realize that VT/Blacksburg was special for you. It can be anything.

For me, it was when I was considering transferring to NC State after a tough Rat year. My XO came to my room, sat and talked with me for I don't know how long. His passion for VT and the HT's was so infectious and he helped me recognize what I had accomplished despite my failures that year and how much it all meant to me. The lightbulb really came on that day and I could never fathom being anywhere else after that.

I hope that we can help each other heal a bit more.

Ut Prosim. I'll see you in the comments.
