"What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself. --

Looking back from when I began my career, I can say I came a long way learning the concepts of understanding the expectations that arose from all my positions. In my first job just after graduating, I was appointed as a Business Accountant of a multinational company. Since then, I was caught in the myth that people who were in leadership positions or high ranking were leaders. Being in a junior position, I could have the least effect on any new ideas as my voice seems to have landed in deaf ears. I have seen how those businesses were not in line with their Missions and Values only to find later that many of the staff had left the company.

When most people are asked if they could go anywhere in the world, they try and think of an extraordinary place. Maybe the person wants to learn about a specific location or they just want to visit out of leisure. The first thing that comes to my mind is a trip to Washington DC. The thought of touring all the landmarks and museums is exciting to me, but the icing on the cake, is the White House for me. I have always wanted to see where the president of the United States resides and makes all his important decisions. As a future teacher, my desire is to soak in the knowledge of such a fascinating place so I can share with our future generation. Making a trip to Washington D.C. is a must on my bucket list.

Washington was selected by the United States Constitution to be our National Capital. Hand-picked by George Washington and designed in a grid by a French architect, it became the center of our nation and a hallmark of tourism. The city is rich with culture and life. According to Washington.org, DC is a place “where people live and visit, where restaurants and pubs buzz, where cabs are hailed, hotels are busy and friends laugh.” Why is this? Three prime reasons -its areas, monuments, and other attractions- cause this city to catapult to the forefront of touristic places.

Washington D.C. is considered by many people to be the most important city in not just the United States, but in the whole world. Washington D.C., to many, is like the capitol of the free world. Decisions that have made the world how it is today have happened in is very city which was named after the first president of the United States. As important as the city itself is, its development is just as important. That is why, in the following, we will explore how Washington D.C. came to be the great city it is today.

Two goals I hope to achieve by going on this trip are exposing myself to different ways of life and learning how I can help others in need. It is evident we are not all the same. Some of us have had to overcome greater obsticals than others, yet we are all living for a better something. I want to learn about the social issues I am unaware of that people have to deal with on a daily basis.

What can you learn from visiting a place, that you cannot learn from reading? Why is it significant to see and understand parts of the country, where you do not live? In America is a very diversely cultured place, full of new opportunities. I believe to truly learn, you must immerse yourself in the culture and experience the lifestyle. The possibilities are endless!

First of all, I would develop relationships with the staff from my school. Being able to have one on one connections with them would allow me to have a close bond, and in the future they would be able to write recommendation letters for me. Also, I would be able to increase my social skills by bonding with classmates, staff, and especially the Puerto Ricans. Interacting with these people would help me in my field of study. Being part of the dental hygiene program, I would need to know about people's backgrounds, and I have to know how to relate to my patients. This trip would allow me to gain national experience by flying overseas rather than by car. It would also be the first step to one day being able to fly internationally. Being in Puerto Rico, I hope to learn a lot about the culture, specifically because it is a Latin culture. Being Mexican, I would love to see the similarities and differences between the cultures.

Prior to this trip, I had never taken an american history class so I was very ignorant about the past of our great country. I had not yet learned much about the wars fought, the sacrifices made, and the rights defended by the people in our nation.

Hi there, I'm very interested in going to Washington D.C. I've always been a big fan of Social Studies/History as a subject and I'd say it's definitely my best subject. I've learned a lot over the years, and I'm always looking to learn more.
