CO-Op Week 2

How is your Co-Op experience connected to the path you see for yourself in the future?

I am very lucky to have been able to intern for the office of Assemblymember Alvarez as it is related to the field I would love to pursue a career in. I have gained deeper understandings of how the California State Legislature works and how elected officials go about solving the State's issues. Right now we are facing a huge budget deficit and I've been lucky to be in the conversations as to what we should be doing for the betterment of my community. 

What lessons or experiences at your Co-Op might you bring with you into college/future?

I will be taking the skill of good and proper communication with everybody. Whether it's a constiuent or a Mayor of a city I have realized that communication is the biggest aspect and lesson that should be learned in places like the state Legislature.

I have attached Images of some of the events I was lucky to attend.
