The Beginning of Something New

One more year of college and one year to complete the list below... I didn't realize how much I was missing during the first three years of college until I took a year off for my internship at the Fairfax County Republican Committee.

I have learned a lot this past year but probably the one thing that will stick for a long time is to not take advantage of time.
