I learned a lot about myself and my political values, and it was such a cool experience to be able to see all the historical sites of our country. I made a ton of new friends from Houston, Illinois, and even Puerto Rico. I would definitely recommend anyone who is considering it to go.”

We also had the opportunity to hear from the people at the forefront of our current political climate and witness historic testimonies. Needless to say, it was pretty neat,” said Junior Claire Brennan.
