Have you ever wondered what it is like to meet the person in charge of all of agriculture in the United States? I have, and I was able to meet the man. Tom Vilsack is the 32nd Secretary of Agriculture, and this is his second stint in the position. I had the opportunity, along with other interns, to meet him at the USDA headquarters. He came up to us, asked someone where they were from, and complimented their home state. Secretary Vilsack had a great sense of humor, even cracking jokes about football. This opportunity was once in a lifetime, and meeting the Secretary of Agriculture is something I will remember for the rest of my life.

Throughout this internship, I have gained invaluable knowledge about legislation. As a reward for our hard work, a couple of interns and I took a trip to New York City to explore the Big Apple. As much as it is important to work hard to change the world, it is equally important to explore it. It is crucial to capitalize on the opportunities presented to you and take advantage of your time to explore our nation’s capital and the surrounding areas. To maximize your experience during your internship, it is essential to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you and explore our nation’s capital and its surrounding regions.
