I am writing this as I am sitting at the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. I am beyond excited for this trip and I expect many things from it. It is my first time getting on a plane, I am a little nervous for the trip because I know that Washington DC is a huge city. However, I hope that I am able to learn a lot of new things in the conferences that we will be attending to. I feel as if HACU is not only going to expand my knowledge in the governmental field, but it will also give me experience. I expect to receive useful information from this trip and to be able to go back to Douglas with answers for our Hispanic students that are trying to attend to a higher institution. Since it is the first time I travel to another state in the United States, I am thrilled to see the world through a different perspective. Let this amazing experience begin!
