As a Political Science student at UVU I was made aware of the different internship opportunities in Washington, DC. I jumped at the opportunity to spend a semester in Washington. I went through the application process and was offered an internship with Senator Robert Bennett in his DC office. My experience here in Washington has been incredible. In Washington, I have learned about American government and politics in a way that the campus classroom could not effectively teach. I am able to do things and see things that I have only read about in books and studied in class. This firsthand experience has been the best teacher and a priceless experience. I have the goal to run for public office sometime in my future. Being in DC has opened my eyes to the life of an elected official. It has given me insight and information that will help me to make future decisions. I feel fortunate to have the chance to spend the Semester in Washington, DC. The things I am learning will benefit the rest of my life.
