What an Amazing week! A lot of you may or may not know about my reccent trip to Washington D.C.  Last September I was invited to travel to D.C for 6 days because of my international knowledge and good academic standing by Major General Stanley Hyman, to dicuss National Security and National Security Strategy. While In D.C. I had the unique oppertunity to meet with some of the nations top officials in the field of National Security. During the week I had the oppertunity to visit with members of the House and Senate, the Ambassador of Israel, Intel officers from the CIA, and a lot of other things that are rarely open to the civilian population. What an exprience the staff of the National Youth Leadership Forum offered during that week. I truly have gained even more respect for our nations policy makers, and can't wait until I get the oppertunity to possibly be in their shoes one day!
