At the office...
The other interns and I have been working on some really
interesting projects lately. At first they seemed really monotonous, but as we
started to work on them they have become pretty cool.
One project I am working on has to do with constituent
service. This is the area I am most excited about because we get to use our
working knowledge of the areas of the city to allow constituents to be more
productive without all of the typical headaches (or at least trying to limit them).
Another great thing about working directly with the
public is they give very real and honest feedback. Sometimes they are not the
easiest things to hear, but it allows the people to interact with their
representative’s offices with their concerns. It makes me feel great because
participating in our democratic system is a big interest of mine and I get joy
out of learning more about it!
Hi Derik, I really appreciated what you had to say about some of the seemingly monotonous things you have to do behind the scenes. I have some free time coming up and was considering volunteering for a presidential campaign to check out some of the behind the scenes goings on. I tend to enjoy doing things other people find tedious or boing, so reading this post has given me more enthusiasm for following through with this idea! Thanks!
