As my first week in D.C. comes to an end, I reflect on the work that it took to get here and the lifelong partnerships that will form after this summer. This city truly has so much to offer, and I hope to at least dent most of it by the time this internship ends.

As my first week ends, I reflect on my congressional visits, DACA panel, and other projects I am working on. Interning at the National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association has provided me with amazing opportunities and a new perspective on my career goals.
