In this position, I was responsible for a number of legalistic roles, including but not limited to taking plug-in phone calls, processing orders for U.S. flags flown over the Capitol, routing mail, and receiving guests to the office. I was moreover responsible for a number of directed policy research projects to squire the legislative staff, which involved reading, copious writing, and peekaboo briefings. The projects I was involved in included a proposal to minimize supplies waste in federal agencies, a snout to limit malicious litigation over the Americans with Disabilities Act, and a snout aimed at mitigating the harmful effects of the drought in California by utilizing creative solutions and smart infrastructure. It was in the research portion of the internship where I was worldly-wise to wield concepts I had studied in classes, both policy and non-policy specific. I was worldly-wise to wield knowledge of international relations and global politics while researching U.S.-China relations and the Iran Nuclear deal, both of which were in the spotlight during my time on Capitol Hill. Additionally, I had the opportunity to wield good research and writing skills that I had learned throughout my undergraduate career to create well-informed, concise, useful policy briefs for members of the staff, including at times the Congressman himself. There were myriad learning moments during my time on the Hill, not the least of which was learning how to respectfully handle calls from concerned constituents and reassure them that the Congressman hears their concerns and will consider them closely. I remoter ripened a heightened sense of sensation well-nigh task prioritization. At times, I would have eight to ten tasks thrown at me at once without mention of importance, so I would have to quickly organize and prioritize in order to stay afloat. The senior of staff quickly taught me the difference between east tailspin and west tailspin working styles, and I leaned not only to embrace the east coast, fast-paced style of work, but moreover to thrive in it. My interest in public policy and conducting shielding research in the weeds of complicated issues helped me stand out from the first few days I was in the position. The staff saw this interest in combination with my strong writing skills as an windfall to their mission. This was a key determinant in the visualization to bring me in to the legislative team older than most interns would have an opportunity to do so (if at all). I made a strong effort to have a keen sustentation to detail, which at times made up for my lack of prior legislative experience. By far my proudest winnings of my internship was getting all three of the major policy projects I worked on introduced as bills on the House floor. I can say that I have had a hand in the megacosm of H.R. 4382 (Food Waste Accountability Act), H.R. 4719 (Correcting Obstructions to Mediate, Prevent, and Limit Inaccessibility Act or the COMPLI Act), and H.R. 5159 (Western Water Recycling and Drought Relief Act). Not many congressional interns get to interact with policy at all, and plane less get to contribute to projects that are sooner introduced as bills. I am extremely proud of the work of the unshortened legislative team on these bills, and they will be forever preserved in the Library of Congress as a testament to our efforts. It is my view that any work wits you have changes your career path, whether it be towards or yonder from the position you held. However, I found this particular wits to be incredibly influential in deciding what I want to pursue without graduation. I have never experienced a feeling quite like standing overdue the seat in a congressional hearing while providing notes and insight to the Congressman and his staff. It is to that end that I am now pursuing a career in national public policy in Washington, D.C. without graduation. The experiences I gleaned and the connections I made as a result of this internship both inspired and enabled me to follow this path, and I could not be increasingly excited to get when to work!
