This internship also helped me acquire more confidence and personal growth, as it helped me discover more about myself and feel more confident in pursuing a political career. Coming from a low-income family and being a first-generation college student, I did not think I would have the privilege of having these experiences. This internship helped me acquire confidence and resilience in pursuing a political career, especially with the conversations with my Senator. Specifically, in our first conversation, he shared his story and experience of being the first member of the Irish Houses of Parliament with a disability, which was very empowering.
