Last weekend I went with my mom to the I'm Determined Youth Summit. It was in
Washington DC. Our hotel was in Arlington Va. I met so many new friends. My roommates were very nice. I learned how to stand up for my rights. We visited the
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the
Newseum. On the last day we visited the Capitol and met with the staff of Senators Warner and Webb. We also met with Heather Sawyer, Counsel,
House Judiciary Committee.
It was the best weekend of my life!! I had so much fun with my friends and learned so many new things. I hope that I get the chance to go to another Youth Summit this fall in Staunton Va. I have to apply and write another essay. Please wish me luck!!!
Tomorrow I will write more about my trip and show you more pictures.
love, Daniela
Fantastic, Daniela!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the leaders being so friendly and kind.
I'm sure you've made a lot of valuable contacts and friends.
Keep standing up for your rights.
I understand that the Newseum is a media museum.
And you are very very privileged to live so close to the capital of the US.
Daniela, these are great pictures! Thank you for sharing. I'm excited to hear more about your trip to the Youth Summit and to see more pictures of the great time you had. I'd love to hear more about what the speakers talked about too.
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited to meet you at Shepherds College in September!
