This internship taught me my calling is politics and really where I need to be is Washington DC. It made me that much more excited for college because of the opportunities that will come with it. I am incredibly grateful to have had such an empowering experience. It gave me hope for the future of this country knowing there are people going into politics for the right reason: to help people. In politics, who you know is everything and I made some very strong connections at this internship. I observed so much passion in the workplace. All of the staffers and Sara believe in the dream. I think I am prepared to be successful in politics because I have the passion and drive; that is not something that can be taught. All I need now is the education. I am super excited to see where my life takes in me in politics. I really want to leave my mark on this world by getting voices heard who have never been heard before. Sara is an incredible role model to me and I admire her very much. I am thankful to have gotten to experience this journey with such a strong feminist; she made it clear that girls can. It is time for a new voice in Washington. After this campaign, I have no doubt the future is female. So many girls are off the sidelines because our future isn't being handed to us. We have no other choice but to DEMAND it! We are louder then ever before so, I wish anybody trying to stop us good luck!
For my “Final Photo Essay”, I chose to make the theme feminism. The Sara Jacobs campaign got so many women off the sidelines demanding a better future, ensuring they had equality. Inspired by the #METOO movement, it was very important to Sara that girls felt inspired, she wanted every little girl to know they can. Sara Jacobs is a revolutionary for women young and old, I am honored to have gotten to work for such a progressive campaign.
