Highlights Of My First Week

The first week of Capitol Hill was one of the most intimidating days since arriving in Washington, DC. Congress was not in session but the office was extremely busy. I was quickly trained on the first day and began answering phones and reading constituent letters. At first, I received small responsibilities but pretty soon I was receiving larger assignments. The highlight since the first day was meeting Congressman Ciro Rodriguez and learning how friendly the office truly is. I plan on attending more briefings and speaking to the staff on specific topics that interest me. I look forward to continuing to work hard and learning more about the legislative process.
