As an intern in DC, you are given many opportunities that you cannot get anywhere else.

It was such a cool experience because you literally get to be on White House property, practically standing at its back door. In the garden there are many beautiful trees and flowers that were planted by different Presidents throughout the years. It was really interesting because at each plant or tree there was a brief description and picture from the day it was planted which helped me understand the significance of each one. So, here are a few of the many pictures that were taken that day.
