鈥淚 participated in the Washington Semester program because I knew it would provide me with amazing opportunities to get a head start on my career. It鈥檚 also always been my goal to go to law school and live in Washington, D.C. later in life. This program helped me become more comfortable with making that goal a reality. I worked as a government relations intern with the Bramer Group, LLC, a bipartisan consulting firm focused on foreign affairs and veterans鈥� healthcare. This role helped me make some decisions about what I want to do later in life. I now have my sights set on obtaining a constitutional or civil rights law degree after graduating from Wittenberg. I hope to work either with a federal government agency or at a private law firm that partners with civil rights activist groups. While I took two classes and worked at my internship, I made so many important professional and personal connections that I will value for the rest of my life.
鈥淚 have so many amazing memories that it鈥檚 hard to choose just one that was my favorite! Of course, all of our trips to museums and national landmarks were exciting, but one of my favorite places to go was the Eastern Market. While tourist attractions are great, we wanted to find some more local places to support. Eastern Market had multiple vendors selling everything from rugs to jewelry to clothes to paintings to candles to books and even the best breakfast sandwiches you will ever find.
鈥淢y second favorite thing I got to do was attend a women鈥檚 march for reproductive rights. It was a very powerful and empowering event, and I was glad I had the opportunity to stand up for what I believe in along with thousands of others. I also really enjoyed our trip to the Kennedy Center, where we watched the Hadestown musical performed by Broadway actors. I was also able to go to the congressional baseball game where I saw President Joe Biden make an appearance. Lastly, spending the beginning of the holiday season down at the wharf watching a holiday boat decoration competition parade, ice skating, and listening to the best 2000s throwbacks by a local cover band was definitely a night to remember. LCWS provided us with unlimited U-passes for the metro and buses that made exploring so much easier. Also, the variety and quality of food you find in D.C. is amazing! I would recommend that any student interested in this program spends a semester in Washington, D.C. You won鈥檛 regret it!鈥�
