The Road Taken... to the White House

 I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost


Perhaps when most people, or I should specify non-politically interested individuals, hear about a Road to the White House Class I'm sure it was not something that sounded attractive. While I would fall into that category I thought "why not?" I mean I need it for my degree anyways. However, as I have started my journey in this class I have noticed that the connections among peers that I am fostering are something so exciting. This opportunity is one that I am glad I did not overlook as I get to grow my network of future job relations, but also friends. Oh, and it's also good to mention that I will gain some hands-on experience in my major field and learn a little bit about the inner workings of the United States electoral system. 
Regardless of how you got to this blog hope you enjoy it!

A Lovely Stroll (through the Governor's Mansion)

 If it could not be inferred by the title the class went to the Governor's Mansion it was stunning. We met Mack the governor's bulldog he was a cutie.  We were told about the history of the estate and the intricacy that went into the furniture and decor details. We looked into the history of South Carolina as a whole and its' historical figures. The garden area was colorful especially for it being winter here.  Here's a car selfie with Steven on the drive there!

 Today the class went to Lizard's Thicket, a local spot known for being a prominent campaign spot, and had breakfast while watching a newscast with Ainsley Earhardt. Shortly, we went to the market being held in front of the capitol building and got to see all the local businesses displaying their products and even tried some food and drinks. Seeing a city come together and uplift local businesses and promote community engagement was heartwarming and I had a great time walking around.  Sasha DEVOURING some BBQ chicken! We also got to visit the University of South Carolina and walk around the campus. The buildings and layout was gorgeous and felt very welcoming. I enjoyed seeing people on the green having picnics or reading books. I am sad this trip is coming to an end as I have made so many great memories and built new friendships as well.
