Emily's Day 3: Capital Hill



 
 
 
Our last day in DC. We had a full day of conferences and meetings at the Capitol. I was really nervous, I did not what to expect. After so many weeks preparing our topics to talk with our representatives of Arizona and cochise county the day finally came. We were able to talk with Ana Kirkpatrick, she is really supportive with HSI, STEM, and any other education topic. Also, we went to Raul Grijalva office. Unfortunately, he was not there. However, one of his representatives on the education sector received us. We shared our point of views and request about education and youth. They informed us that Mr. Grijalva is part of HSI and is one of the biggest supporters. The meetings went great! I loved the professional and supportive environment !
