The Clock doesn't STOP!

Time is winding down. I will be done with my internship program as of May 6, 2010. I cannot believe it. It seems like I just got here. As I reflect on my time here, I sometimes wonder what I would have been doing with my life if I was not here. But then at times I really I can't imagine what I would be doing if I wasn't here.

I had the honor to attend the memorial service of Dr. Dorothy Height. I continue to remind myself that I was in DC for a reason and at the right time. I mean history was made with the passing of health care reform all while I was working on Capitol Hill. From the constituent phone calls, to the hearings, the press releases, the protesters!

I wake up every morning and I walk through the Capitol to go to work, I walk through the halls of the Capitol and admire the floors, and the portraits and the detail in the architecture all built by MY people. I close my eyes and I thank GOD every single chance I have because I know that I could not have done this without him. I would not have had the strength to leave my son, my fiancee.

I hold my head high when I walk the streets and see the looks on some people's faces and I know that they are wondering how I got here, where I live at, where I come from, who do she think she is...and I smile. I smile because I know who I am, where I come from, where I'm going and I am doing everything to get there!!!

I finished with classes yesterday and I am positive that I did well. It was not an option to do anything less. I am surrounded by strong, accomplished, GOD fearing women in my office who are always encouraging, pushing, praying and leading. I know that this experience is only the beginning, a stepping stone to greater things and I am sooooooo looking forward to what's to come.

Time waits for no one...and neither do I. TTYL.
