“In eight weeks I have sat in a press room of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, heard from the Director of Iraqi Reconstruction at the US State Department and have sat on the floor of the House of Representatives. All of these were experiences that I would never have been able to have, had I not attended this program. ”
