What experience stands out in your mind the most?

“The entire experience as a whole was amazing. What stands out the most to me was the opportunity to make so many new connections with people from all over. I made friends with kids from so many different states and made connections with many important adults in legislation.”

How did you feel about the trip overall?

“The motto of a trip of a lifetime wasn’t a lie at all, and getting to come on the trip allowed me to experience a trip in a way that I would have never gotten to. For that, I am sincerely thankful.”

Reece Yahn

What was your favorite landmark you visited?

“My favorite landmark was the Library of Congress! I loved the architecture and all the stories that the paintings and sculptures told! We looked at Thomas Jefferson’s book collection and the history behind how his collection became a part of the Library of Congress was really interesting.”

Makenna Kroells

What was it like meeting legislative staff?
