The Heart of the Country

For the past semester I have been at the heart of the country; the numerous internships, embassies aligning the streets, and monuments that capture our countries most important moments. Often hidden by the rain and snow, the spring time has allowed me to go to the National Mall, Jefferson Memorial, the White House and many other important places. My favorite part about the program has been the diversity of people that have come together in the Program. Because we get to choose our areas of study, which is what we are surrounded by 24/7, we are also surrounded by people with the same interests. Our downtime consists of debates, homework help, and excursions related to our programs. It is not only inspiring but such a learning experience outside of the classroom. If I had to describe the program in one sentence I would say: The Washington Semester Program is a living classroom.
