This past week, I had the incredible opportunity to meet the United States Attorney General William Barr. Although brief, I appreciated every moment I was in his presence. I knew that this experience was not one that should be taken for granted. Never before did I think I would meet someone of such magnitude in federal government. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and to have been selected to attend this program. This, along with every other amazing experience I have had thus far, has erased all my original worries and fears from my mind. These three weeks have flown by and have provided wonderful memories that I will remember for the rest of my life. I cannot believe I was once so nervous about participating in a study abroad program. I am proud of myself for persevering and recommend that others also try to go outside their comfort zone. You never know what incredible experiences await you!
