On Thursday, we went to Capitol Hill. I didn’t have a meeting with a Louisiana congressman, instead I went with one of the girls who needed a partner. She was from Ohio. It was really interesting; I’ve never been inside the Senators buildings and they were extremely nice buildings. We took our pictures in front of the Capitol building, which was really cool. Then that night we had our formal gala. It was like our final celebration together. The food was fancy and delicious and then we had a dance. I enjoyed spending this time with all the people I had met and made friends with. It was a wonderful way to bring us all together and finish off the week. Today we all packed and had one last session with a lady named Nicole Quiroga. She is station manager at W-ZDC Telemundo. She was a really good speaker and had lots of energy. We all said our final good byes and traded phone numbers. It was a wonderful experience and something that I will never forget. I plan on staying in contact with all of the people I’ve met. I appreciate everything that George Mason and all of the staff have done for us this week.
