Literal (Need to Know):
- Why is it important to keep your district office organized?
- Why is having a friendly staff important when it comes to your constituents?
- What is the importance of keeping your contacts updated?
- How important is it to make sure you're on a good basis with your supporters and constituents?
- Why is getting a bill passed so hard?
- How can you make sure that the bill you're writing will benefit the community?
Interpretive:
- From this experience, I've realized the importance of organization and teamwork. When an assemblymember is hosting different community events, and trying to reel in constituents to support their district, making sure that all elements of the event are organized and that your representatives are cooperating together are key in gaining support. While working in the office, I noticed that all of the consultants were constantly calling each other, verifying different information. This type of communication and cooperation showed me how big of a necessity teamwork is in a district office, and the lesson of organization not only helped me realize the importance of it school-wise, but personal-wise as well.
Applied:
- From the time spent volunteering at the district office, I learned a few important lessons regarding organization, teamwork, and patience, but I'm not sure if this helped me choose my topic. My two passions in life, and what I want to study in college, is Marine Biology and Law. Although these two choices are not even in the same category, they're both something I'd like to pursue. So, because of my desire to do both, I will volunteer at different marine science establishments in my free time, and make my choice then.
