My experience at the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I enjoyed meeting so many young women who looked like me and had similar dreams and visions to lead. The panel topics were invigorating and unlike any other conference panels that I have attended in the past. Some of my favorite topics were "Bridging the Divide: Navigating Relationships between White Women and Women of Color," "The Campaign Trail and Elections," and "Working in Washington." All of these panels helped me prepare as I plan to one day run for office and/or continue my work as a Legislative Social Worker. I am very grateful for the opportunity to attend this conference and especially grateful for the scholarship that allowed me to attend. Without the scholarship, I would have never been able to have this amazing experience!
