As I was running back to my apartment near Georgetown from an early morning food market, I was feeling a little selfish... I always do when I feel like I have had some amazing experiences or discovered a place or person that helps me to grow in my knowledge and understanding. So, to help shake my selfishness here is a list of experiences, people, and places that have really shaped my experience here in Washington, DC.
--Going to the Court of Appeals, or the second most powerful court of the land, and meeting with Chief Judge Griffith
--Running along the lit up memorials in the national mall
--Eating pancakes at Eastern Market with friends from the Barlow and DC 2nd
--Learning from my supervisors, Steve Richards and Jozsef Szmaolvi (I’m not sure if I spelt that right—in fact I’m sure I misspelled his name) and people that my supervisors have introduced me to
--Learning about clean energy technology and clean energy programs
--Sitting down with people who are passionate about politics and foreign policy
--Taking running tours of Washington DC
--Interviewing professional lawyers, executives, chairman of different organizations, company executives, and graduate students
--Traveling the Eastern seaboard
--Eating at and enjoying Georgetown
--Having time to plan for post graduation
--Reduced load of homework and assigned reading so that I can work on projects and read books that I choose to read
--The opportunity to meet and talk to new people almost every second of the day
--Starting brand new… new city, new people, new ward, new work place… it’s a beautiful thing to start over again, it has pushed me to lengthen my stride
--Solidifying some of my political views
--Choosing the path of my passions
--Room to breathe and dream again
forgive the short details, but if you're interested in learning more about some of these experiences then please give me a call!
