Reflection-Kathryn Carlisle
We were asked to do a blog on some aspect of our experience here at Georgetown. Honestly, I don't know what to write about...the classes have been wonderful, different than I expected, but great. And the field trips, they've been so informative. I've learned so much about journalism and how it works, especially here in DC. I'm so thankful to our professors, Erin, Jen, Shawn and SCS for putting on this program for us.
The thing I have to say is: the people here have been the best part of this experience.
You know, most workshops or camps are a week long, two if you're lucky. We have been here, living together, learning together, for three weeks. I know it doesn't sound like a long time, but when you spend every waking moment with people from your class you really begin to understand them. These are friendships that I hope will last a very long time. I've been amazed at how twenty kids from all over the country became such great friends in a matter of days. I've learned things about places all over the world. From Korea to Texas, China to Oregon...and lots about DC, we've experienced the world through each other.
Within the next day, as we each depart, I hope that we each realize how lucky we've been to have had the opportunity to come to Georgetown. I hope that we all keep in touch. Most of all I hope we never forget the experiences and the time we've spent together.
