I have been
reading history books since 4th grade because I found fiction books boring
and I could never really get into them but my school librarian Cathy Ackerman
told me on the encyclopedia of presidents. These were a hundred page books on
each of presidents they were 7th grade reading level to 12 grade reading level
but I found myself more interested in these books than the harry potters or the
magic tree house. I read all of the books from Washington to Clinton. I campaigned for president Obama in 2008 and
2012 and that was rewarding experience but at the same time sending him to
Washington didn’t give me a rewarding
feeling because to me Washington is a mythical place where I haven’t gone before. I
remember going to Washington, Iowa with 20 people in the crowd and at the time senator
Obama was giving a speech and I think that everyone there didn’t think this guy got a
chance but he proved everyone wrong and showed them that anything is possible. I
would like to go to Washington because a lot people don’t care about history as
much as I do and I would love to talk and express ideas with people who care about
history just as much as I do, who are the same age. I think this a positive and an
educating experience personal and mentally and it would be a honor to represent
your company and the great state of Iowa.
Thank you for time and god bless America.I found out later, that they drew names out of a hat. I didn't feel to bad after that.
P.S I have been to Washington twice now and met Tom Harkin so I am not to heart broken.
