Over spring break I had the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C., our nation’s capitol, with the Mount Scholars. While in D.C. I was able to make new connections. I talked to a few Ohio State employees that work in the office of Federal Relations, in D.C. I was able to meet with both senator Portman and Senator Brown, both of Ohio. I was very fortunate to have the chance to shadow my congressional representative, Bob Gibbs. While shadowing my representative I had the opportunity to meet the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan. As a group, we also had the opportunity to tour CATO institute, and learn about the technologies that they create. I was very lucky to spend my spring break with a ton of great people, while getting to take part in these great opportunities and so many more.
