A Life Changing Experience

After really thinking about these past couple days it hit me, I won't experience that kind of environment ever again. Everyone from UA South and Cochise College and Pima College who attended the HACU Capitol Forum in Washington D.C made this experience a memorable one. I went into this event thinking that I knew the importance of higher education and I gained even more knowledge of the importance of higher education and the struggles we as hispanics face. I will forever be grateful to the University of Arizona for allowing me to represent them and the community of Nogales AZ at the HACU Capitol Form, it truly was an honor. The lessons I learned during my time in the nations capitol will be ones I take with me for the rest of my life. For the staff of Senator Flake, Congressman Grijalva and Congresswoman McSally I would like to thank you for giving us some time too talk about higher education. For Congressman Grijalva, I thank you for taking the time to sit down with us and giving us support in advocating the importance for higher education. To the staff of Congresswoman McSally, I thank you for going the extra mile for allowing us to meet the congresswoman. It is an experience I know all of us will never forget. This experience was truly one I will never forget!
