Most exciting/challenging moment

The most challenging moment working at Senator Stabenow’s office was managing the requests of the different staffers. I found myself doing four projects and the deadlines only made the work more stressful. With patience and dedication I was able to finish, and at the end of the week, I was proud to receive excellent feedback from my peers. As far as the most exciting moment in my internship, I think every day is exciting on Capitol Hill, whether you attend briefings or help at the front desk, there is always something that will spark your day. Since I have to pick a moment, I will go for the hearing I attended on the Department of Energy’s budget. Present at the hearing were the Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu and Senators Murray, Dorgan, Landrieu, Alexander, Bennett and Tester. It was very interesting to be in the same room with that many influential people.
