were celebrating Melissa’s “Quinceaños” and, of course, they invited Amanda since they were really close. Amanda and the girl had fun those days getting ready for the party. They went shopping because Amanda needed a nice and fancy dress for the celebration. It was a big party since the girl’s family is so big. There were more than 150 people invited to the celebration, so the family had a lot of work to do, like cooking for all those guests. Amanda, of course, helped the family cook and prepare.

Amanda went to Costa Rica one more time, but now she wanted to stay there, to live and work in Costa Rica. She wanted to improve her Spanish or maybe she just was in love with the country, people, and their culture. Amanda lived in Costa Rica for a year, but after some time she decided to go back to the United States.

The girl and her family didn’t hear from Amanda for a while, but one day they received a phone call from Amanda. She was going to visit them during Christmas but this time she wasn’t alone—she was traveling with her husband, Keith. The family was happy to see her again and welcome a new member of the family.

Melissa now was studying English in college, and she was looking for a scholarship to study abroad in an English-speaking country in order to improve her language skills. When Amanda asked her what was she studying or doing at the time she told her, and also said she was interested in studying abroad. Amanda told the girl that in the college where she worked, they have a program where they need native speakers from different languages and that she will ask the professors about this program and the requirements, so maybe Melissa could go and work at her same college and have the same experience she had.

After a few months, Melissa received a phone call from Amanda. She told her about the program and the scholarship, and they spoke about every detail. Amanda gave her the email address for the professor in charge of the program the next year so they could communicate and settle everything. Melissa was so happy that finally, and thanks to Amanda, she would accomplish her goal of studying abroad and improving her English.

They kept in contact to prepare for the trip, making sure every single detail was taken care of; it was just incredible that the girl would go and visit Amanda in her country, in the same town, and work at the same college. Time flew and before they knew it, it was almost time to see each other again.

On August 20, Melissa had to leave her country and start a new experience, a trip full of adventures, new people to know, new places to go and visit, a new life.

And here I am, happy and thankful for all the people that made my dream come true, especially Amanda. Here I am enjoying my adventure, improving my English, and of course appreciating the time that I have with my older American sister, Amanda.

re work my

f

ne of major

news outlets to compile a list with direct contact information for editors for all of the major news organization. I was actually surprised that simply introducing myself as an intern with the office of Congresswoman Giffords would grant me access to this sensitive information.

Congresswoman Giffords’ office was both different and similar to the other offices in Congress. If you didn’t know, Congress only has a 10 to 15 percent approval rating—and this disapproval is marked by angry letters, emails, phone calls, and protests. Sadly, our office, like all other offices, would receive offensive correspondence, personal attacks, and sometimes death threats. To say the least, America let me down on that part. On the positive side, polite people were especially polite; most people would immediately ask some variation of “how is she doing?” Because this question was so ubiquitous, my office scripted our response: “She is working to make progress” and “She is devoting all of her time and effort to her recovery.” The less polite people would then ask, “When is she going to step down?”

This fun, challenging, and unique internship would eventually spark my interest in a possible career on the Hill. So I began to ask around to learn about the career path for the Hill—the cursus honorum of the legislative staff hierarchy. Fortunately, my inquiry revealed important negative aspects. Not only is D.C. cutthroat, but the ability to find a job is almost entirely dependent on who you know. While many professions may operate similarly, no one in D.C. will even look at your resume without a connection. Also, it is not really viable to live without employment in one of the most expensive cities in America. As a cautious person by nature, it did and still does not seem worth the risk to pursue a career with such high stakes placed in connections and luck.

Although D.C. is an amazing town, it did not seem to have a suitable career for me. Toward the end of the semester, my fellow co-workers seemed to notice my incompatibility with D.C.; they would sometimes refer to me as “the professor.” Coincidentally, I realized that my heart is in academia.

The only thing that I enjoy more than learning is teaching. This passion even revealed itself in my internship while giving tours of the beautiful Capitol building. Based on the concluding remarks of our guests, I seemed to particularly excel at giving tours; even better, I enjoyed giving them. With this realization, combining my passion for teaching and politics was the logical conclusion. This is how my semester in D.C. led me to pursue a career in academia as a professor in political science.

Becoming a professor will not be easy. I first have to find a Ph.D. program to accept me, where I will have to work to earn a Ph.D. in six or seven years. Then I will have to look for a faculty position at a college in a competitive job market. While difficult, this career path in academia will provide a life of stability and consistency, while satisfying my ongoing and fulfilling passions for American politics, learning, and teaching.

Besides the whole realizing-my-path-in-life experience, I had a blast in D.C. My favorite moment was seeing the First Family at the National Christmas Tree Lighting with Adani Sanchez ‘12. I have too many great experiences to write about, but I will include a short list. I saw the Constitution in the National Archives just after seeing Senator John Kerry speak in person about his perspective of the Supercommittee failure. The day that the American Jobs Act bill was released, I had the opportunity to discuss it with Congressman Paul Ryan, the current chairman of the House Budget Committee. I saw firsthand the encampment and operation of Occupy D.C., while wearing a suit. I also had a chilling elevator ride with Alan Greenspan. However, the coolest memory was on my 21st birthday when I had my first legal drink—scotch—in a Congressional office.
