Kelly Murguia - Entry 2
What has been the most challenging moment during your first three weeks of the internship?
If you asked five weeks ago if I were living, a "Yes, absolutely!" would have quickly followed. After sharing meaningful conversations with others, challenging both myself and my work, and realizing that you cannot please everyone, has been a wake up call. "Good morning, D.C.!" I have never felt more "alive."
What has been the coolest moment during the first three weeks of your internship?
I went out for a jog my first week. Nerves raced through my body, concepts clouded my mind and BAM, the Washington Monument, with a slight glimpse of the historical Mall and Lincoln Memorial. And all of a sudden it all seemed so clear; I am here for a reason.
What experience has most inspired you thus far and why?
"Good morning, Congressman Lujan's office." I never know who is going to be on the other end of that line. Constituents never cease to amaze me. Young and old, liberal and conservative, these individuals are ready to speak their mind. They inspire me to never stop learning and never stop questioning.
If you had to make up a slogan, ten words or less, that represents your internship experience thus far, what would it be?
Time passes quickly, don't get left behind.
