As it is only my 4th week in D.C. I have experience so many great opportunities that were very eye opening, but there was one that really stood out. I was granted the opportunity to attend the inauguration ceremony. It does not matter whether you voted for the president or not it was just an amazing opportunity that not everyone gets to experience. I was excited to get to go. I woke up at 4 am to get ready and head to the capital. This was the start of a long day yes but it was going to be worth it. After I finally got through all the challenging road closures, security and crowds of people I was in a great spot. I was right against the fence. Now it was to stand there for 6 and half hours or more and wait for the inauguration to begin. Why not make friends with the people rubbing up against you! I met a mother and her two twin boys. They are from Missouri and they had been driving all day and all night to make it to the inauguration. Her mother was also with them and she made me laugh so much. She is originally from Peru. She was dressed in very colorful clothing along with a crazy sombrero that everyone that walked by wanted to take a picture with her. She was a very sweet lady and very energetic. Also was a huge supporter of Trump and was in love with him! It was great! I am so thankful for meeting this family because they were amazing and made my experience that much more interesting and eye opening because they were from Peru! They shared so many stories and events from when they lived in Peru.

While
at the inauguration another amazing experience that I got to experience was to
see Big and rich the country artist. Along with seeing Big and Rich I also got
to see Trace Adkins and shake his hand! That was so awesome because I love
Trace Adkins and his music. There were so many famous people that were passing
by us that I was able to see. I didn’t know some of them but I heard other
people behind me yelling their name and cheering. I was very shocked that I
would run into some pretty famous people while waiting for the inauguration.
This was an amazing experience and I am so glad I was able to experience it.
D.C. has offered me so many opportunities already. I am looking forward to all
the other great opportunities that D.C. has to offer me! Here is to another
great 3 months in D.C!!
