Day 1: Washington DC

Wow, I can’t believe I get to go on another adventure! This time, my journey will take me to Washington DC where I will be partaking in the Teaching and Learning Conference.

Representatives from Underwriter’s Laboratories and Disney along with the National Academy of Science will all be on the panel, and they chose Jordan and I because our mentors are from UL and they wanted to represent both mentors and mentees. I wish all the girls were here, but we'll do our best to fully represent the group.  We will be presenting on the power of mentor ship and I’m beyond excited to go and recap the amazing time I had in California.

Sarah will be there and that would be reason enough to go, but the fact that I get to share my journey is a privilege.

This time around it will be my mother accompanying me on my travels. She is quite the experienced business woman so this whole process is like a piece cake to her. 

We plan to tour all the national monuments and it's rumored the infamous Bill Gates will be there!

The whole point of the trip though is really about sharing how powerful mentor ship is, and to hopefully inspire others to think the same way. If people recognize the importance of mentorship, we can expand the current network to reach even more kids with the same dreams we have.
