The day started very well as the saying goes the early bird gets the worm and that was defiantly the case. After meeting downstairs, we all caught a Lyft, to where all the events of the day would be taking place.Upon arrival we received breakfast, and then we all departed to Capitol Hill. Once we arrived there, each of the groups broke apart and went there separate ways, we meetings with representatives that represented each of the locations we were from.
The topics:
- Tuition Cost for the middle class
- Pay for Teachers
- STEM Programs for underprivileged
- Creation of political leadership programs
The Meetings:
The meetings were all amazing; each representative was very different, we were able to express our concerns, while also listing to their responses. I thought that it was amazing to look to my left and right an see my classmates taking charge and expressing themselves in such a professional manner.
Overall:
Overall the day was fantastic; we were able to see first hand how things are done. Walking through the many different hallways knowing that so much is done for our country in these offices was a bit overwhelming to think about. There was one thing that stuck out to me although these representatives are very powerful individuals, their constituents put them in those positions that they are in. This is important to remember because the people have the power.
