What are some new ideas that you have heard this week in terms of leadership?
Since the start of orientation at CHCI, I have learned both soft and hard leadership skills; skills that will undoubtedly assist me with my congressional placement. From learning international protocol, to networking with former CHCI interns, the skills I have been learning are both new and invaluable to me. In my opinion, the most important skills and ideas that I have learned was the first hand knowledge of working on Capital Hill, as well as ways to get acclimated to the fast paced D.C. lifestyle. Above all else, I learned that there are numerous perspectives about Latinos in the United States. I have learned that although every person has their own specific heritage, often times, as Latinos, we face some of the same problems. Whether it is on our specific campuses, or stories from our childhood, there are many underlying themes.
