My Washington Experience

Before entering The Washington Center, I knew what I wanted to get out of this experience and that was learning more about the media, but most importantly I was interested in the lectures about Journalism. The speakers Ann Compton, John Howard, and Clarence Page did a fanastic job of explaining, giving examples, and being honest about the world of Journalism and the media. Listening to these speakers I have better confidence and ideas about my career in Journalism. Also during the week, I learned a lot about politics as I knew little in that area before attending The Washington Center. TWC has done a great job with putting together this opportunity for young adults and finding appropriate speakers for us to relate too. Leaving The Washington Center, I can truly say that this experience is one that has opened my eyes to greater opportunities. Inside Washington is a trip I will never forget!
